Cvent Onsite Solutions (formerly AllianceTech) vs Meeting Play

Likelihood to Recommend

WELL SUITED: On-site check-in, Onsite badging, Mobile Ticketing. Integration into the Cvent platform, mobile app, and other ends to end solutions within the tech stack. GDPR and CCPA privacy.
LESS APPROPRIATE: Cvent Onsite Solutions (formerly AlliancaTech) priced higher than competitors and limits # of events we can leverage for consistency. We want to be device rental free and have the app on our phones and real-time upload to master files.

Well suited for customization of gamification. It gets beyond basic off-the-shelf gamification most app providers have. The admin dashboard is easy to use. We would like to be able to copy the framework of the site over at a reduced cost, and not pay as much for the 2nd and 3rd instance. Pricing for volume had to be negotiated and isn't standard operating procedure.

Support Rating

Cvent Onsite Solutions (formerly AllianceTech) 8.5

Based on 4 answers

The person onsite can be hit or miss. We have had a few really wonderful support technicians that came prepared, were helpful, and jumped in where needed. We have had others that sat back, didn't offer advice or best practices tips, and were not pleasant to work with. It's very hit or miss.

Meeting Play 10.0

Based on 1 answer

Great account management. Trust. In our 3rd year now, working with the same account manager helps us not re-invent the wheel each year. Other regional sales kick-offs were told of this gamification and they've since adopted Meeting Play.

Alternatives Considered

One not listed here is iCapture. We use iCapture right now for lead capture. It's easy to use and priced well, and we leverage all of our events. It's easy to use the tool.
Moved away from Aventri/E-Touches quickly after being stuck in a 3-year contract. We started with Cvent Onsite Solutions (formerly AllianceTech), and procurement moved us to Aventri. After a good battle, we were able to move back to Cvent Onsite Solutions (formerly AllianceTeach).

Meeting Play is well beyond SurveyMonkey if you use customizable programming mode.
