Considered Both Products	Aventri Megan Baak Operations Manager Chose Aventri 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Aventri I have only gone through demos of other products as we switched over from a custom product prior to Aventri. The biggest reason we selected Aventri is the malleability of the product, along with their amazing customer support. Their pricing is also extremely competitive, and … Incentivized Helpful? Patrick Reilly, CMP Meeting Planner Chose Aventri I have not used CVENT but I know about them. They are double the price of Aventri and offer the same type of product. They have more integrations (like lead sourcing), however. Incentivized Helpful? Fran Rickenbach President Chose Aventri eTouches was selected for the integrated package, lower cost per registrant, no limitations on web pages, availability of exhibit sales module. It can handle the complexity of our client programs very easily. eTouches tells us we are "power users ;-)". Incentivized Helpful? Bill Reger Webmaster Chose Aventri SignUp4 was our previous service and performed well. It wasn't until after it shuttered that we realized how much more could be provided. Cvent (which absorbed SignUp4) provided many of the old solutions but at a significantly higher price. In the end, it seemed more suited … Incentivized Helpful?	ThunderTix JS John Sowle Artist Director Chose ThunderTix Much better Incentivized Helpful? Jason Rice Founding Board Member Chose ThunderTix Our former system morphed into some other company I have not kept up with. They were costly, inattentive and flat out tried to back-charge us thousands of dollars. I really haven't looked back and am ridiculously loyal to ThunderTix Incentivized Helpful? MG Mason Green Administrative Assistant Chose ThunderTix AudienceView has some of the oldest and least efficient user interfaces I have ever seen. Theres 5 different websites for the same account to access different things that are all interlinked and need to be accessed together. Ticket Spice charges a higher per ticket cost for … Incentivized Helpful? MD Matthew Davis COO (Chief Operating Officer) Chose ThunderTix I have looked at Event Brite. I have looked at a number of others, who I do not wish to list. I actually thought that most have a lot to offer and are probably great, but none fit us the way that Thundertix does. It would take a hell of a sales pitch to take us away. Incentivized Helpful? KH Katie Hollis Marketing Manager Chose ThunderTix Thundertix may not have all of the features as something like eventbright or bands in town, but the amount we are saving daily makes up for some of the features that may not be present. We are a small intimate venue so Thindertix is the best fit for our organization. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Buttrey Board Member - IT Chose ThunderTix We felt ThunderTix was easier to use not to mention lower in cost to us and to our patrons. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Aventri	ThunderTix
Likelihood to Recommend	I believe Aventri has a big learning curve, so if you are short on time, I would recommend hiring someone who already has experience. We had a few months, but making changes took a while because only two staff members had time to figure out and learn the system. I don't think the website is very user-friendly, but I don't think it's so hard that the average worker cannot learn it. We happened to be short on time so learning the system was an added stress that would not normally be there. Incentivized Adriana (Adri) Luna Member Services Associate Read full review	It is the cheapest and easiest to use platform, especially when compared to Ticket Spice and AudienceView. Ticket Spice is full of microtransactions and AudienceView's user interface is decades old and completely inefficient. Thundertix is easy to use and the prices are reasonable for ticket sales and supplemental packages for your account. Incentivized MG Mason Green Administrative Assistant Read full review
Pros	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. Incentivized Fran Rickenbach President Read full review	Site is easy to use for both our customers and for us using in the back office Platforms are aesthetically pleasing and easy to integrate Thundertix rarely, or even never has any glitches. We have significant data relying upon Thundertix, and I am more than satisfied. The management and/or ownership at Thundertix is fantastic to work with. They truly care. They have even added specific features that are available to all clients based on some of the needs that we have. Incentivized MD Matthew Davis COO (Chief Operating Officer) Read full review
Cons	Mobile app does not allow for video advertisements. The day the event is scheduled to be over in Aventri it clears from your list and it makes getting reporting and analytics difficult after the event is over. Incentivized Patrick Reilly, CMP Meeting Planner Read full review	We pay a premium for the over the phone customer service. Thundertix is at such a good price point it’s worth it to pay the extra for this service. Their online customer service s great, but it can be difficult to get your point across sometimes without talking to someone on the phone. Thundertix does not currently have any text message features in place. I hope to see that in the future. Thundertix has many features and it can be difficult to utilize all of the features because there are just so many and they aren’t all intuitive. Incentivized KH Katie Hollis Marketing Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We have been with them for over a decade and have no interest in leaving. Brian Buttrey Board Member - IT Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	It's straightforward and, for the most part, easy to use and navigate. When there is an issue or problem that arises, support is usually very helpful in navigating us in the right direction. It keeps everything in order and on track, and is easy to use when trying to track down a client or previous purchases, which is important to our company Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	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. Incentivized Patrick Reilly, CMP Meeting Planner Read full review	They are quick to respond to both calls and email. They also have a robust online set of documentation and tools that offer the possibility of finding your own answer. But, even if you don't use it, ThunderTix never asks the "did you check our online resources" questions. They never complain about emails or calls. They are there to help and do a fantastic job!

Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	It was an easy transition that took less than a month from planning to implementation Brian Buttrey Board Member - IT Read full review
Alternatives Considered	SignUp4 was our previous service and performed well. It wasn't until after it shuttered that we realized how much more could be provided. Cvent (which absorbed SignUp4) provided many of the old solutions but at a significantly higher price. In the end, it seemed more suited for very large events more so than the size we normally run. Thus we chose eTouches to supplant SignUp4. Incentivized Bill Reger Webmaster Read full review	Our former system morphed into some other company I have not kept up with.

Return on Investment	Much more thorough reporting than previous provider. The ability for long term goal creation based on the objectives evaluated post conference. Incentivized Bill Reger Webmaster Read full review	Thundertix allows us to retain more profits on the 30K plus tickets we sell each year, Thundertix charges only a small ticketing fee per ticket.
