There are other CAD systems used by my employer. This brings more to the table with allowing us to seat attendees it is not only a CAD program, it seats attendees so we can see who has checked in and who has not. That is something the other CAD systems cant even touch.

It's accurate - everything else I used is merely a template. Without the accuracy it's all a guess, the accuracy has allowed me to maximize our spaces to fit a client's needs!

It has similar tools that MeetingMatrix has, but the Collaboration, or allowing vendors access is the feature that I appreciate the most that Cvent Event Diagraming offers that MeetingMatrix did not have. It is also easier to save as a PDF to print and email a version to …

It's the most comprehensive tool to stay organized, and on top of everything, when planning for large or small events.

I believe my organization has evaluated Eventbrite in the past. I'm not too familiar with Eventbrite and if it is similar to Cvent Event Diagramming. Overall, Cvent Event Diagramming seems rather advanced and a unique type of software. We have had such a great experience with Cv…

It’s nice because we can use visuals with social tables and easily see our event in front of us. We selected this program because it is the easiest to use. Once you learn how to use it, you can really create a floor plan for any of your spaces and venues.

Cvent Social Tables is easier to use and has second to none customer service. Overall, we found that social tables provides a more lifelike, realistic depiction of the space, which is key when organizing massive show floors. It is also easier to show why certain booths are …

Social Tables is the leading software of its kind, all of the others pale in comparison. I've used Meeting Matrix and custom Google Apps based software/applications, and Social Tables performs exponentially better than anything I've seen. Social Tables' Development Team and …

I have also used another event diagramming software in the past, Meeting Matrix. I believe that program just created simple diagrams that you could export and send to meeting planners. Cvent Social Tables has a much more robust functionality--more than just diagrams. The …

A2Z Floor Plan Developer is similar to Cvent Social Tables, but I think Social Tables is a bit more interactive. There are more options than just building a floor plan, you can actually assign sponsors, build the AV portion of the event, and color code the floor which is very …

I have used other floorplan platforms before, but Cvent has more options and is much more user friendly.
Chose Cvent Event Diagramming
I have not used other products like Cvent Social Tables. We used to make floorplans using PowerPoint. We would use the general outline of the room with circles and squares. Worked almost just as well as social tables, and it was easy for the client to make changes without …

This is the only program that I have used for room layouts. Otherwise, I would find a manual way within Word.

I have used two other types of event diagramming software previously, including Optimum Settings ii and Meeting Matrix. Both were extremely dated, and the programs looked like they still lived in the late 1990s despite being used in the 2010s. OSGi was out of business and had …

Caterease is what our team uses, and while it's suitable for putting together menus, it lacks the broad logistics/calendars and timelines that I've seen with Cvent Social Tables.
Chose Cvent Event Diagramming
I have never created a floor plan in Cvent Social Tables directly - is it even possible? I think a benefit for Cvent Social Tables would be to create badges via an attendee list, or is it possible, and I don't know about it?
Chose Cvent Event Diagramming
The level of training required in Cvent Social Tables is minute compared to a more sophisticated program like Vectorworks or AutoCAD 360.

We can get what we need completed in a fraction of the time. The ability to plan ahead and rely on Social Tables in doing so is a real …

It's the best software I've used. It allowed me to collaborate on a huge event with multiple stakeholders to ensure the main planner understood the venue and capacity issues. It's also allowed me to realize the scope of venue needs and abilities. Very helpful in visualizing a space

Pros
Cvent
  • User-friendly. It's easy for us to train other team members/staff/volunteers to use the front-end system for registration and event check-in.
  • Social Tables is great for creating custom room layouts and diagrams.
  • Social tables is customizable. We're able to capture specific information for attendees, and can "tag" them when additional info is needed.

Cons
Cvent
  • A development that would be useful would be the ability to reorder the diagrams to a custom order in one event so that when exported as one document, they are in an order that can be customized to flow well for the meeting planner.

The support was exceptional, and they remained an arm's reach away for when we ran into any questions after we began using the tool. Overall, we experienced phenomenal customer service. We also had more than one web-based call where their team would walk us through examples and answer any questions we had.
