Axis Suite vs. Cvent Event Diagramming

Axis Suite is extremely valuable as a digital signage tool for organizational communications. If you have the need to get custom information/content out to employees in your organization, I highly recommend Axis Suite. Once it's up and running, the content management system is extremely easy to use--even for those who aren't good with technology. It might be less appropriate if you are a super small organization because of the price tag.

It's the best software I've used. It allowed me to collaborate on a huge event with multiple stakeholders to ensure the main planner understood the venue and capacity issues. It's also allowed me to realize the scope of venue needs and abilities. Very helpful in visualizing a space

• Easy to schedule large amounts of content and push it out to all of the digital screens in offices across the state
• Although I didn't handle implementation, I've heard from our technical team that install was a relatively easy process
• Customer support is stellar; I've always been provided a resolution to my issue when contacting Axis Suite customer support

• User-friendly. It's easy for us to train other team members/staff/volunteers to use the front-end system for registration and event check-in.
• Social Tables is great for creating custom room layouts and diagrams.
• Social tables is customizable. We're able to capture specific information for attendees, and can "tag" them when additional info is needed.

• One slight issue is the complexity of Axis Suite design. It can be extremely complex to design custom content. My organization had to purchase "advanced configuration hours" to create a message that displayed weather information in all of our offices.

• A development that would be useful would be the ability to reorder the diagrams to a custom order in one event so that when exported as one document, they are in an order that can be customized to flow well for the meeting planner.

The support was exceptional, and they remained an arm's reach away for when we ran into any questions after we began using the tool. Overall, we experienced phenomenal customer service. We also had more than one web-based call where their team would walk us through examples and answer any questions we had.

In full transparency, I did not select Axis Suite. The service was selected by my boss. I inherited content management after she left and I moved into her role. Recently, I successfully pushed for a major software upgrade on the platform. I did this because I was pleased with Axis Suite and I felt like upgrading the content management system and look and feel of the digital signage was in my organization's best interest.

It has similar tools that MeetingMatrix has, but the Collaboration, or allowing vendors access is the feature that I appreciate the most that Cvent Event Diagraming offers that MeetingMatrix did not have. It is also easier to save as a PDF to print and email a version to vendors as well

• Increased efficient flow of information to internal audiences

• This program allows us to be nimble in our communication with our vendors and clients.
• This program has empowered my new staff members to solve problems discreetly and on their own, prior to bringing them to my attention. It is a key tool to our success.
