    Certain is very well suited for any type of event or tradeshow that require specific fields from registrants and an automated email sequence to keep them engaged. It's less appropriate for one-off events, since setting up those pages can be quite complex if you're used to the types of Eventbrite/Sympla. If you don't really build event pages regularly, I'd recommend a software that's more simple, which should address what you need.

    I think that Lobbytrack would be suited for most organizations that are trying to modernize their visitor management workflow. You would need someone with a technical background to make the most of the Lobbytrack feature-set, but you can get the core functionality of the system up and running fairly quickly. The product might be less desirable for an organization where compliance and security is a critical priority, as features like their SSO integration still needs to mature.

    Cons
    Certain, Inc.
    • Dashboards: It's quite important for leadership to get a visual of what their event registrants look like (with graphs, for example). Now, Certain does not present a feature to create dashboards, so we have to export their reports and create our dashboards ourselves.
    • UX when setting up an event: Now this can be quite complex, as it's not as easy to use or intuitive. Many different tabs with many different sub-items can present a confusing experience for newcomers when building an event.

    • Scheduled reports (instead of run on demand).
    • Published API and/or an automated way of loading data to the database (it's not difficult but could be automated).
    • Updating layout of printed labels is not very intuitive (but we only have to do it rarely).

    My company selected Certain and continues to use Certain because it is quick, easy, and efficient. We create up to 20 registration links a year and Certain allows us to create templates to copy and create annual event links very fast. I also love that there is someone there to speak to if I ever need assistance

    Lobby track has proved to be cost-efficient and at the same time, this is also multi-tasking where each and every step and user interface is very easy to use. Even the visitors can self-register themselves and need not wait for the other person to do an entry. Plus the biggest advantage that we have observed is the final report which helps us to create a database.

    Return on Investment
    Certain, Inc.
    • Certain helps to deliver a great customer experience, since it facilitates automatic email delivery and your company can keep them connected well before or well after an event.
    • Certain presents a wide variety of reports, which perfectly addresses any request for visibility coming from your organization.
    • Certain's configuration settings are quite complex, so our newcomers are not comfortable using the software at first.
    • In case you need a more visual representation of your audience, Certain, unfortunately, does not generate dashboards.

    • Did not use it for my business, but rather as a user. Worked great, will implement in my business when we need guest management software.
