    For smaller sports organizations or event productions Vendini is appropriate. It is also better suited for venues where the inventory is primarily general admission or very basic section/row/seat. The platform does not allow for much seating customization on the user's end. I would definitely not recommend Vendini for larger venues.

    Cons
    BigMarker
    • Really need BigMarker to create a white label offering so I can embed it into my website without hassle for members to sign up.
    • Would love to be able to stream my webinars to Facebook and other social platforms.
    • Need picture resizing to be working well because a lot of my pictures are not resized automatically.

    Vendini
    • System is often very slow.
    • Limited user ability to customize ticket promotions within the platform.
    • Major issue - not friendly with certain firewalls. Iona received dozens of phone calls this year from fans unable to purchase tickets online because Vendini changed something which made the platform blocked by several servers being used by fans.

    The dashboard is very easy to use, I have been using
    this as a go-to platform in the pandemic days and still using it for online webinars
    and virtual screening. All features and functions are well organized. I have been very much impressed by their support staff.

    There have been occasions that we needed to get in touch with support to help get a template design to look a specific way. They are always quick to reply on their chat and have had their design team fix issues for us in no time

    I've used ProVenue in the professional sports world (working with the NY Mets). ProVenue has drastically more capabilities and is a much more powerful system than Vendini, but such capabilities would not be necessary for smaller arenas or productions

    • Haven't seen a tangible ROI yet, but I can say it's made communication easier.

    • Allowed Iona to compare YOY sales and attendance figures. Something we were not able to do before.
    • We have been able to create events from remote locations (i.e. conference tournament bus trip ticket sales). The ability to just set up an event from wherever one can access the internet is very convenient and has increased our ticket sales for certain events.
    • The Vendini reporting has increased the efficiency of internal and external audits when it comes to ticket sales and revenue.
