Aventri vs. RunSignUp

eTouches seems to be well positioned to serve those needing event registration for small groups up to large conventions. Events with multiple sessions are very well organized and allows the planners to monitor registration and attendance with ease. One issue we have run into is the ability to give a discount to a specific registrant who signs up a group of individuals. We continue to work for a solution to this.

It is well suited for when you are hosting an event and need a one-stop-shop for information and registration needs on one platform. It may be less appropriate for smaller-scale events but for anything 50+ I would say this is much easier than trying to use one point of contact.

• Manages class size limits very well.
• Provides information for hotel booking and transfers so that all this information is in one record.
• Unlimited number of pages for the website is invaluable - we looked at other programs with only 4 pages for the website and that just isn't enough for our clients.

• Built-in templates to make design a breeze
• Great client support
• Simple and effective email tool
• Easy reporting
• Easy learning curve

I had a few issues while onsite (over the weekend). The support information given to me was incorrect and I had a hard time tracking down how to get assistance while onsite (on a weekend). When you are onsite, issues are usually heightened and need an immediate response, and I didn't get that.

Customer support is quick and straightforward and always available!!

We loved CVENT and DoubleDutch, but it was much easier to have all the modules we needed in one platform, which happened to be Aventri.

I liked RunSignUp much more as it was much better suited for what we were looking to use it for and do. The functionality matched our needs and we were able to fine-tune exactly what we needed from the system without losing too much of the user experience.

• Much more thorough reporting than previous provider.
• The ability for long term goal creation based on the objectives evaluated post conference.

• RunSignUp has simplified the way we communicate with our registrants.
• RunSignUp makes it easy to update our race page from year to year by pulling from the previous year’s event.
