User Testimonials
	Communique Conferencing	Shindig
Likelihood to Recommend	The platform is well suited for delivering a unique and elevated experience for guests. Also, events with 200+ attendees. I would not recommend using Communique for simple and very small events. There are dozens of cheap options for these. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Delivering a unique and elevated experience by using a platform with a unique look and feel. The platform capsulizes everything and makes information easily accessible. It's the team support that keeps us coming back. We have a dream team which is why our events go off so well without a hitch. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Nice to add personal agenda, which is on the roadmap this year Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Usability is critical with virtual events both for our team to set up and administer as well as for our attendees. Communique Conferencing is easy for our team to administer. We survey our attendees during and after virtual events. The feedback regarding usability is very positive. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	The Communique project team is Knowledgeable Responsive Willing to go above and beyond to make our events successful Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	We found out the hard way that there's a lot of smoke and mirrors in the virtual event space. We had no idea the level of proper vetting we should have done before hosting a client event with our reputation on the line. Support: The PM was located in our time zone and way more responsive. Platform: It's hard to assess platforms on one 60-minute demo. When it came down to hosting a virtual event there were a lot of limitations with the other platforms (e.g., no ability for booth reps to proactively chat with visitors, no ability to search for other attendees, no ability to send broadcast messages to communicate to attendees during live days, etc.). Communique Conferencing had all of these and was easy for attendees to use. Data security: We are a financial firm, so data security is huge. We did not realize the lack of basic attendee data security with some of the other platforms until our IT team performed and assessment. Communique Conferencing was one of the only platforms that passed. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
