Anthology, Inc
Importing and exporting data is failry easy. Automation for e-mail marketing is severely lacking.

Hivebrite is a great platform if you and your team do not want to manage a custom-built website - which can be both time-consuming and costly.

Cons
Anthology, Inc
  • A more inclusive duplicate identification tool would be great.
  • QR tickets for event registrants would be great and move you into this century.
  • Allowing more flexibility with event creation is vital to us at this time.
  • Additional automation would be great. Email event info, then to those not registered, then a reminder to those registered. Now it is entirely manual throughout the entire process.

  • LMS - It would be great if native learning management system functions could be added to the platform.
  • 1:1 Conversations - the private messaging feature could definitely be improved upon.
  • Language integration - being able to translate comments and conversations on the platform would be helpful to our global audience.

It does not have the automation or event tools that we are desperately needing at this time.

N/A I've only attended webinar training, which is great when you are on live, not so much when watching a recording.

Mighty Networks is another platform that is insanely cheap but does not have any upgrade options.

  • The cleanup process is very painful due to lack of any automation
