Likelihood to Recommend It's excellent for small sets of forms, from simple to highly complex It's not good at scale. With over 170 forms now, we desperately need some way to manage and maintain shared content once Cognito does not help. Their approach is that you can copy a working form (great) and modify it to create the next one. That's how we've got so many forms...
Read full review Cvent Surveys is well suited for gathering post-event data from the audience. It has easy reporting and gives information from the audience that we would not normally have without speaking to each potential attendee separately. The program also allows us to collect data on flight information using sub questions for attendees.

Read full review Cons I am happy with Cognito Forms. I have not found any issues. Read full review It was a little tough to find the correct survey report to print. Maybe make them a sub category at the top that has the breakdown for each type of survey. Having the option to automatically pop up surveys after a session, but also allow people to click into too. Giving incentives to filling out surveys. Feedback is key to have. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Fortunately, the more integrated we become with Cvent, the easier it's going to get. As we've grown as an organization, we've also been able to launch additional events much easier with Cvent. My CEO wasn't too pleased with the addition of Cvent at first, but I definitely stuck up for our decision and it has paid off since
Read full review Usability Non calculated fields are easy to use. Calculations can be a nightmare to get working due to complex and unintuitive syntax, as a non-programmer
Read full review This program is so versatile to be able to do whatever is needed. There isn't a time that I have built a survey that hasn't done exactly what is needed. No matter how complicated the questions are, the data that is put out is easy for leadership to read and understand. That is what is needed. They shouldn't have to go through complex data and spend a lot of time trying to analyze it.

Read full review I have not needed to contact support before for this feature in Cvent. The support team for other features have been great though, so I will provide an answer for that. Cvent is on point with their customer care. They’re prompt and make sure the issue is fixed. They will also follow up with you to make sure everything is still working smoothly or if any additional help is needed
Read full review Alternatives Considered I have not used any other programs like Cognito Forms. I have been with my company for almost two years. I very much like the ease of this system and its capabilities. I like knowing everyone is using the same thing. I do not foresee us making any changes to our current use of Cognito Forms.
Read full review I think Cvent surveys feel more secure. It is also a program that we are likely using for the event or meeting already, so it's nice to just use the same program for both things. Cvent surveys are an additional expense which isn't always ideal and can be a hard sell in comparison to other programs or just utilizing email
Read full review Return on Investment Safe us a lot of time doing client onboarding. Use it for data collection for business plan info collection. Read full review Increased employee efficiency is a true statement for Cvent. It is efficient for both clients and sales representatives. It also has a faster lead conversion and notifies you as soon as a client has accepted a proposal. I would not say it has any negative impact at our company whatsover. Thank you Cvent for working so properly. Read full review ScreenShots
