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.

Webex Events

Cisco Webex Events is well suited for internal meetings or all-staff presentations. I would not recommend it be used for client-facing or stakeholder presentations, education seminars or any particular event where a branding opportunity would be valuable (since this is unavailable in Webex Events)

Webex Events

  • Training - trusted platform for training purposes
  • Real-time - remote participants can provide real-time feedback via voice or chat
  • Interface - the interface is fairly simple and easy to understand for someone who has never used the platform before. The barrier to entry is relatively low.

Cons

Aventri (formerly etouches)

  • The transition to the new platform has taken some time to get everything functional, but they are working on it and update us regularly.
  • Reporting has vastly improved!
  • eSeating uses Flash which doesn't work on iPads... this can be a problem.

Webex Events

  • WebEx lacks some capability and functionality compared to other products available (i.e. Adobe Connect).
  • The video output that WebEx produces are in a format that is not universal (.arf). This means that editing the video can be somewhat troublesome.
  • WebEx sometimes has issues loading with certain browsers.

Cisco Webex Events allows us to connect with internal and external users. Cisco Webex Events is easy to use and set up. It has great video and audio quality. It has always been available for our scheduled events. And COVID-19, has allowed us to continue conducting our panel discussions and focus groups to keep new product development moving forward at a rapid pace.

WebEx is available 24/7, as long as the user has a reliable internet connection and the WebEx servers are up (they are typically up when we need it).

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.

Since it is cloud hosted, it stays in Cisco data centers, and they have been very reliable. That doesn't mean they don't have issues--all services do--but when they have, we had lots of communication and they were very proactive and made sure all of our issues were resolved.

Alternatives Considered

Aventri (formerly etouches)

Ffrankly we did not evaluate any other software before getting e-touches and I was not involved in that process, it was before my time. But there are alternatives available. They have improved their interface lately and that is a big positive change. But I recommend evaluating multiple options and selecting what best fits your needs.

Webex Events

We have now started using Zoom as it is relatively cheaper and also people are now more used to it as for small group meetings, this is preferred tool in our company. License to host Cisco Webex Events is limited to only HR department or senior executives in our company, hence for more formal events this is preferred tool.

Webex Events

  • We are currently only using Webex Events for webinars with external clients or stakeholders, since it is too cost prohibitive to use it internally.
  • Webex Events is cost prohibitive even for use with only external users, given that there are similar tools with similar functionality at lower price points.
  • Webex Events has enabled us to reach users far and wide, but is not unique in its ability to do this.
