Airmeet vs. Cvent Event Management

It's good if you want to use an online platform for events and you don't mind paying high annual fees. Not suitable for SMEs or startups.

Cvent Event Management has streamlined our processes, allowing a
small staff to manage our events effortlessly. From event set-up through
feedback, the software integrates all elements, reducing duplication of effort.
Our contact database tracks our membership, allowing us to charge the
appropriate registration cost and send event emails based on registration type.
Using the Attendee Hub App, we have eliminated the paper program and
communicate instantaneously with our attendees. Printing the badges onsite has
allowed us to keep registration open longer and gain more attendees.

• The lounge space can be setup the way you want to make the entire space very interactive.
• Great at holding large scale events and conferences.
• Features such as backend access to the speakers and internal team members to meet before the session starts is incredible.

• Allowing more in depth paths for registration questions (i.e. drill-down questions as needed)
• Hotel widget does not model in a user-friendly way, allowing for customer confusion and cumbersome work-arounds
• Flex Email customization widgets need to integrate into the emails more smoothly and be able to customize to have the same look, feel, font of the written text. At this time it does not allow for the same level of customization.

We are very pleased with the features that Cvent gives us. The ease of use and the immediate support when something does stump us. Cvent provides us with everything that we need to run a successful event. The only reason I did not Rate Cvent as a 10 is the cost

Cvent does go down pretty frequently. And while it often doesn't impact day to day use usually, if it does go down at the wrong time, you may not be able to access very important event information when you need it. Usually outages do not last very long, but it could still be a very bad situation if this happens at the wrong moment

I have very rarely needed support, but when I did, it seemed that there was an underlying push for a webinar, training session, or multiple phone calls. If I have a question or a need, that should be addressed nothing else.

It would have been nice during implementation if we had received more pointers on how to organize our parked report folders, libraries, etc. to avoid the mess we find ourselves in today. If we had known ahead of time the limitations we could have planned better.

In the beginning, we chose Airmeet because of its direct outreach. We built a relationship with the team and then created a partnership where we introduced Airmeet first to South Korean companies - us being the first user in the country. Other products are similar, but we chose them because of the partnership and also because the audience engagement features were great.

Eventbrite is not able to handle the complex registration forms that Cvent can. It does not collect as much information, cannot produce the save level of reports, and does not allow for multi-leveled and/or multiple registration types within one form. Being able to offer, and compare, those is vital to determining our ROI and event planning efforts. Additionally, Eventbrite does not provide as many customizable options or branding opportunities.
