Eventzilla vs. Webex Webinars

If you are an organization who is hosting a ticketed event such as a concert, a block party, a 5k fun run, or anything that may require a pre event registration / ticket purchase, this product could potentially be very useful for you! My Fraternity used Eventzilla's product for our last four events including a concert, a 5k run, and 2 golfing tournaments! Using this tool, we were able to raise significantly more money than we had from previous events. Additionally, this product was exceptionally useful for the 5k because of the amount of information we needed to collect through the registration form prior to the event. Using the Eventzilla forms, we were able to discover participants' age, gender, t -shirt size, # of registrations, phone #, email, name, etc. and provide them each with an excellent, personalized experience.

It is important to create professional events to improve business, especially with participants from other countries regardless of language; thanks to the fact that this platform translates meetings in real-time with great accuracy, we always try to create awareness of remote meetings inside and outside the company, but I think which is more suitable for remote events that must have robust interaction features as is the case with this software.

• Managing registration and attendees.
• Creating landing pages, registration pages and promoting them.
• Automates waitlisting and approvals.
• Live streaming and polling.
• Internal in-built payment processor.

• Cisco Webex Events is very straightforward and easy to use. Setting up an event within the platform is quite simple - anyone can do it.
• Webex Events is a great add-on feature to the Webex conferencing platform to allow a one-way broadcast of information, rather than worrying about attendees being able to interrupt the presentation.
• Recording a session is fairly simple and accessing the recordings post-event is quite reliable. I believe you can also upload .mp4 files into the Webex Events platform to serve as a host.

• Customization features for emails could be improved since most are automated reminders.
• Sometimes too difficult to create a simple event with loads of choices available. Many times we simply want to create a normal event without much hassle.

• There always seems to be room for video quality improvement (not a necessity, but would be nice)
• Mobile screensharing from iOS/Android (and other mobile) devices would be a great feature
• The mobile app should be able to track meetings a user has been invited to, but does not do so (yet)

Now it is a very reliable tool that we need, and we have to buy it as most of the organization uses it nowadays.

As, stated before, the only thing that I found to be difficult when using this software was pointing an existing domain to the Eventzilla Registration landing page. I followed all of the steps as illustrated and I continued to experience errors when trying to navigate via the domain. I could not get in contact with support and so we chose to use the extremely long Eventzilla domain. This was not a big deal, but it would have been nice to use our own domain that we purchased

I love the control that this product gives to those running the meetings. It allows you to assign presenter roles to people and everyone else that is an attendee can be totally controlled, like whether they can unmute, or use video, or just sit there and watch. It really gives control of the meeting to those who are running it. And we love that ability for those meetings that we are trying to make sure people are listening in on instead of trying to participate.

WebEx is available 24/7, as long as the user has a reliable internet connection and the WebEx servers are up (they are typically up when we need it).

Support is adequate, but sometimes has difficulty grasping all of the pieces of a question. Once, I asked for help with a relatively technical integration that we were using to track event effectiveness, and their answer left me wondering if they even understood that the feature I was asking about even existed in their system.

The support of vendors in the realization and achievements of our objectives has played a big role. The customer support team has helped us to set up and test the operation across our organization. It is flexible and our team members are free to join or leave a meeting at their own pleasure. The product displays superior videos with a high-resolution definition that helps each member to have a clear view of meeting proceedings.

The implementation process was fairly simple and straightforward

Eventzilla is a budget-friendly tool and has a very dynamic pricing model. You only pay for the features you use.

Compared to other big-name video conferencing software, Webex Webinars stands out as it serves to cater to large events whereas the competition does not. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Skype to name a few, have all garnered much attention due to the need for virtual meetings but none accomplish the task of facilitating large events as seamlessly as Webex Webinars. Unlike the competition which most likely could not handle events of such a large scale, Webex Webinars maintains reliable connection and meeting integrity, allowing users to focus on the experience at hand.

The scalability is really easy

• We use it for internal events, so mostly our ownemployees join the events. These are usually fun events, so ROI is not expected.
• Most of the times, we are simply organizing recreational events for our employees, so it boosts the morale of the participants to have a proper organized setup for the events they attend.

Incentivized

• Allowed us to keep our product development moving forward during the pandemic.
• Reduced our travel costs by hosting virtual events.
• Allows us to host more events because of reduced cost over in-person events.
• Helps us with faster time to market on features as we can quickly set up and host a focus group.
