Cvent Event Management vs Microsoft Teams

• Complex event registrations with multiple attendee types
• Widget-based event website and email builder makes marketing quick and easy, especially for users without HTML/CSS knowledge; HTML widget allows for customization for those who want to fine-tune
• Plenty of custom fields allowed in contact records
• Clean interface
• Email automation and filtering capabilities
• Event registration links to contact record
• Robust reporting, both standard and custom
• Responsive and helpful customer service/tech support available via chat

• Video calls are great with Microsoft Teams. They've made big improvements over the last year and I rarely have issue with getting on. It's nice when things just work.
• The most used functionality is, of course, the chat feature. It does what it's supposed to do and you can create chat groups from whoever you'd like. We use it a lot when there is a special project and a team from various groups get together for a short period of time to get things done.
• An overlooked function is the ability to search anything within Microsoft Teams. Any photo, document, or chat can be searched and found pretty easily. I can't tell you how many times this has saved me from having to rewrite something or start over.

• Feedback Cross-Event Reporting: I would love to see [Cvent Event Management] add event feedback survey reporting to the cross-event reports. I spend a good amount of time collecting this data manually and manipulating it for a full year of events.
• OnArrival Application Login: If you make an error logging in 3 times in a row, it locks you out for a good chunk of time. Would like a two-dept verification to avoid.
• Networking: Before covid, we used to have a good amount of in-person networking opportunities for [Cvent Event Management] users that were free- now it is really only [Cvent] connect for face-to-face events it seems?

• Found a bug where Microsoft Teams suddenly drops during an ongoing call even if there is no network issue from either end
• Screen sharing is also buggy. When we share our desktop screen on MS Teams the taskbar disappears and it's difficult to navigate through apps.
• There is a limit to PIN 15 chats a favourites. This count should be increased.

• It allows us to be ahead of our competitors who do not use Cvent - we have a lot more capabilities using Cvent Event Management.
• It allows for a more streamlined internal planning process with little room for variations from planner to planner.

• I think it has allowed us to leverage our Office365 more effectivly since all of the apps are synced together.
• It has really allowed us transition away from more formal webex meetings and have a more free flow conversation.
• It also gives us a more direct line to our manager if we need there input they can easily join our team chat.
