Considered Both Products	Aventri Megan Baak Operations Manager Chose Aventri We loved CVENT and DoubleDutch, but it was much easier to have all the modules we needed in one platform, which happened to be Aventri. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Aventri I have only gone through demos of other products as we switched over from a custom product prior to Aventri. The biggest reason we selected Aventri is the malleability of the product, along with their amazing customer support. Their pricing is also extremely competitive, and … Incentivized Helpful? Patrick Reilly, CMP Meeting Planner Chose Aventri I have not used CVENT but I know about them. They are double the price of Aventri and offer the same type of product. They have more integrations (like lead sourcing), however. Incentivized Helpful? Fran Rickenbach President Chose Aventri eTouches was selected for the integrated package, lower cost per registrant, no limitations on web pages, availability of exhibit sales module. It can handle the complexity of our client programs very easily. eTouches tells us we are "power users ;-)". Incentivized Helpful? Bill Reger Webmaster Chose Aventri SignUp4 was our previous service and performed well. It wasn't until after it shuttered that we realized how much more could be provided. Cvent (which absorbed SignUp4) provided many of the old solutions but at a significantly higher price. In the end, it seemed more suited … Incentivized Helpful?	Planned Greg Bognar, CCPM Executive Creative Producer Chose Planned Planned is the only event planning software company we have worked with, and plan to work with.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	I believe Aventri has a big learning curve, so if you are short on time, I would recommend hiring someone who already has experience. We had a few months, but making changes took a while because only two staff members had time to figure out and learn the system. I don't think the website is very user-friendly, but I don't think it's so hard that the average worker cannot learn it. We happened to be short on time so learning the system was an added stress that would not normally be there. Incentivized Adriana (Adri) Luna Member Services Associate Read full review	Planned is great for vendors who have both in-person and virtual event services to offer. You can get exposure to other markets and industries, win new business, and grow your skills. Planned is best for vendors who already have a lot of experience in the event industry. Incentivized Madison Back Partner/COO Read full review
Pros	Manages class size limits very well. Provides information for hotel booking and transfers so that all this information is in one record. Unlimited number of pages for the website is invaluable - we looked at other programs with only 4 pages for the website and that just isn't enough for our clients. Incentivized Fran Rickenbach President Read full review	Hands-on oversight of execution of a virtual event and client success management Connecting event industry professionals with companies in need of their services Highlighting services that an event industry professional or company offers Incentivized Madison Back Partner/COO Read full review
Cons	Mobile app does not allow for video advertisements. The day the event is scheduled to be over in Aventri it clears from your list and it makes getting reporting and analytics difficult after the event is over. Incentivized Patrick Reilly, CMP Meeting Planner Read full review	The platform can use some tweaking (i.e.: when reserving hotels, adding guest rooms, including meeting rooms - instead of just spaces, which can be confusing when searching). Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	I had a few issues while onsite (over the weekend). The support information given to me was incorrect and I had a hard time tracking down how to get assistance while onsite (on a weekend). When you are onsite, issues are usually heightened and need an immediate response, and I didn't get that. Incentivized Patrick Reilly, CMP Meeting Planner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	SignUp4 was our previous service and performed well. It wasn't until after it shuttered that we realized how much more could be provided. Cvent (which absorbed SignUp4) provided many of the old solutions but at a significantly higher price. In the end, it seemed more suited for very large events more so than the size we normally run. Thus we chose eTouches to supplant SignUp4. Incentivized Bill Reger Webmaster Read full review	Planned is the only event planning software company we have worked with, and plan to work with.

Return on Investment	Much more thorough reporting than previous provider. The ability for long term goal creation based on the objectives evaluated post conference.
