    BuzzCast is great for large, complex online events - especially during the pandemic when it's been hard or impossible to gather folks in person. If you only need a smaller group of 5 or 10 people, BuzzCast is probably overkill. Once you have lots of people / multiple sessions, or want to capture and save presentations for later, you'll want to start looking at BuzzCast.

    I would recommend to anyone managing a venue that books events, especially venues with larger teams. It's great to keep the whole lead generation cycle organized from start to close. It's also great to have analytics and reporting to be able to provide to our accountant, or see trends and changes in our business.

    Very easy to use! Once you get your venue details set up and menus added in, it's extremely user friendly. It's also easy to make changes to settings as needed or add new menus, lead forms, contract templates, etc. Anyone that can work an email system can easily use it.

    BuzzCast platform has the most amount of features that our events require (public chat/private chat, breakouts, auto-scrolling agenda). The entire platform is built and designed so that it's intuitive for our viewers and they are shown exactly how to operate the platform in under a minute. The quality of the stream is superior. The BuzzCast team is great to work with and are true partners who are all solution-oriented.

    Tripleseat is far superior to anything else we have used. The ease of use is unmatched. Many other systems are still very outdated. Tripleseat does a really good job of staying on top of industry trends and advancements, and listening to what their customers are asking for. I wouldn't switch back to any other platform.
