A2Z Events by Personify vs. BuzzCast

Well suited for sessions and events information with the exception of large white space areas when viewed. Depending on how your organization is set up the only "less appropriate" area for us would be the actual accounting side, but that is because our accounting department prefers to maintain invoices, etc out of their own system. However, the invoices provided by A2Z does aid them when the are reconciling to their own system

BuzzCast is great for large, complex online events - especially during the pandemic when it's been hard or impossible to gather folks in person. If you only need a smaller group of 5 or 10 people, BuzzCast is probably overkill. Once you have lots of people / multiple sessions, or want to capture and save presentations for later, you'll want to start looking at BuzzCast.

• Very easy for the exhibitors and the attendees to navigate the floor.
• It looks very crisp and is easy to print.
• The online exhibitor search field is awesome - so easy for our attendees to map out who they want to visit.
• The support team is very responsive and the training opportunities are flexible.

• The BuzzCast platform was excellent in every way.
• The platform is sleek and easy to use, both the backend and the UX.
• The entire team at BuzzCast is supportive and works hard to make your event a complete success.
• Building and deploying the conference was made easy by the expertise and hard-working BuzzCast staff.

• Coming from software where I had a huge amount of access to the "backend", it would be nice to be able to manipulate areas of the Exhibit Floorplan a little easier with regard to items like tables, chairs, stages, etc. Maybe add some icons that could be pasted into the floorplan for faster success?
• The agenda within A2Z does not give you the ability to host on your own conference site.
• The agenda view is sometimes perceived as being too long, there's a lot of extra "white space".

• Within the platform it would be great to have direct access to make edits changes (I believe this functionality is in process)

A2Z is so much better than ExpoCad. It is easy for the exhibit sales team to use and it is easy for the attendees and vendors to use. Pulling the program book is a cinch now. I don't understand how people still use ExpoCad?!

BuzzCast platform has the most amount of features that our events require (public chat/private chat, breakouts, auto-scrolling agenda). The entire platform is built and designed so that it's intuitive for our viewers and they are shown exactly how to operate the platform in under a minute. The quality of the stream is superior. The BuzzCast team is great to work with and are true partners who are all solution-oriented.

• Positive - it provides one place from which primary players in the conference could pull information. A2Z maintains consistency and lowers the discrepancy issue when everyone tries to keep their own little database.
• Positive - Time Saver.
• No negative that I can recall.
