Cvent Passkey vs. WISH PMS by Prologic First

If a property is managing a block of 15 or more rooms, Cvent Passkey is extremely helpful as it helps streamline room types, attendee types, and premium up-sell options. If you are working on a smaller group that has specific requirements that restrict their room options, basic booking software will suffice.

• Streamline the rooming list process
• Gives clients 24 hour access to their rooming lists
• Gives time back to vendors from not having to send updated rooming lists

• The support center for administrators (GroupMax) and the dashboard could be better. Good for beginnings, but there is a lack of detail for more advanced users.
• The process of building a booking site could be easier/more streamlined. We sometimes have to hunt around to find where to edit information.

My best advice is to have one or two people own the Cvent Passkey maintenance.If a person is using the software frequently, you will find tips and usability becomes quite easy. A novice may find some difficulty understanding how inventory distribution works but all of the training courses offered are very useful to help hone in on the craft

I have not had any issues with Passkey where I needed help from the support team. The Cvent Community has been a great spot to ask questions regarding Passkey and get the answers that I needed. I think that Cvent Community has hundreds of people that have had years of experience using these different products and when I have questions, they have usually been asked in the past.

We haven't used any other options. We used to manage everything manually, which sucked up hundreds of hours of our employee's time and cause frustrations among some of our high profile clients who wanted to make their bookings or manage their trip on their own off-hours time instead of having to reach our employees during booking hours. They are then also able to edit their reservation and receive confirmation numbers without having to go through us. With all of the GDPR issues occurring, it's also solving a lot of trouble of collecting information and properly managing it.

• Positive ROI: Credit Card information is easily collected for the hotel.
• Negative ROI: It was harder for us planners to track the changes.
