Cvent Event Management vs. White Fuse

Cvent has been great for our large flagship conferences, roadshows, exec forums, and webinars. From registration and attendee management all the way to post-event engagement and everything in between. Its custom reporting has helped us present business cases when we needed to eliminate certain events and has also helped us navigate challenging recruitment times by calling out patterns and successes.

For smaller societies where administrators are part time or even volunteer, this platform takes all the manual labour away and enables members to experience a professional and real time subscription service. The website looks professional, organised and well set out. For someone used to coding and formatting their own website, this platform's web pages might be somewhat restrictive, but it is possible to continue with your own website and use White Fuse for the membership portal only

• Event registration - manages different registration types for different programming.
• Audience Segmentation - from sessions to event emails to push notifications, Cvent's audience segmentation saves us so much time.
• Training - Cvent has a vast library of help articles and community questions and answers to help both new and seasoned users.

• Renewal of membership subscriptions
• Broadcast emails to segments of contacts
• Provide an attractive, easy to administer website portal
• Handling financial transactions securely

• Growth emphasis seems slanted towards trade shows and events vendor integrations (less so on educational/attendee features)
• Because of rapid incorporation of new functionality, documentation can lag behind the current platform
• Complexity is growing, so the platform requires a significant investment of time and coordination to fully leverage

• Updating records en masse (to mark as attended) or other groupings would be useful
• Some ability to interact with data for download (filters, column selection) would also be useful

We are very pleased with the features that Cvent gives us. The ease of use and the immediate support when something does stump us. Cvent provides us with everything that we need to run a successful event. The only reason I did not Rate Cvent as a 10 is the cost

Super simple to use once configured. The solutions guide you through the process and the training resources and community fill in anything you can't figure out. Technical and non-technical users alike will be able to figure out how to successfully use the system.

10 overall but the website is 8 because it isn't sometimes possible for me (a non programmer) to create new sections with complex formats. In this case I ask WF to take our content and format it etc for me.

There have been a few times when the system has gone down in the midst of registration. It can be frustrating but know that it does happen at times

It was all self-driven and I had to do a lot of searching around in the community to get answers.

It would have been nice during implementation if we had received more pointers on how to organize our parked report folders, libraries, etc. to avoid the mess we find ourselves in today. If we had known ahead of time the limitations we could have planned better.

There is no other tool that offers the same range of solutions as Cvent, all under one umbrella. With minimal reliance on APIs, client and associate data are more secure, making all stakeholders more comfortable with the software. All other solutions I looked at only solved one piece of the puzzle I was dealing with.

Before I recommended that we adopt White Fuse I researched many other similar products and also spoke to users of those and of White Fuse. It is a while ago and I am afraid that I no longer have a note of which products I researched.

I can see how this can help small AND large companies as they continue to grow
