A lot more customizable and view looks significantly better with Splash Event Marketing Platform.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
Cvent offers stronger support, including access to live representatives when issues arise. Even as far back as 2005 when I first used the platform, their team consistently provided hands-on assistance and worked diligently to resolve problems.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
The UI is easy to use and user-friendly, making it easy for everyone to understand. Building pages is also straightforward with a pre-built template.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
In my opinion, it lacks the actual event management, but is better for scheduling component and still has decent workflow. But no way for the candidate to have resume and the information be all contained. So it is step back in the actual event management from Splash Event …

Event Farm is the best solution for complex events with different attendee types, etc. they have amazing flexibility for building out your dream event registration solution. RSVPify is great for the registrant experience. It’s not as well branded out of the box but is a good …
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
I prefer Splash to Eventbrite because the UI is so much more beautiful. With Splash it's as if you hired a website designer to create a custom landing page for every event. It also has the ability to run virtual events with its integration with Zoom. Event brite's UI is just a …

My current company leverages Marketo, but I do not use it personally.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
I like Splash better than Marketo for registration pages because Marketo doesn't have all the same functionality. They do link to each other which helps but in Marketo we couldn't cap registrations and that for us is a must.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
We appreciated Splash's robust platform and ability to customize to our unique needs. The platform has helped us scale our efforts both internally and within our global networks.

We chose to go with the Splash Event hub rather than the Eventbrite Community because of cost for …
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
We used to use Eventbrite to manage our events before we were switched into using Splash. It was much easier to use, had a consistent usability structure for creating events and getting users to sign up. While it wasn't as customizable in terms of the landing page or email …
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
SplashThat is something that Lyft uses exclusively across all markets. We do not have another comparable product. The reason behind this is to create and maintain brand consistency for all of our markets and Driver Communities.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
Splash allows for branding and better communication with attendees.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
We are using Splash Event Marketing because of the design, user flow and insights we can gain that were not as intuitive on other platforms.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
The web hosting feature in Splash is by far the best I've encountered.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
The only other option we have internally is an internal CMS page creation that doesn't allow for any kind of creative freedom. SplashThat lets us use our imagination to create landing pages that fit our branding and event themes.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
Splash was selected due to its user-friendly ease.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
We initially tried out and Cevent and Eventbrite, but these did not come close to the solution we were looking for and found in Splash.

We actually use it as a standard for the company and it has proved to be really useful for all of us, as well as efficient.

Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
The only other event platform that I used was Eventbrite.The huge advantage of Splash was its design capabilities. Eventbrite gives a very generic invitation, whereas Splash is much more versatile design-wise.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
Better than the others - didn't like eventbrite, my punchbowl, etc. Would rather stay with them and with something we know. Started with Splash because I knew them, they were affordable, they were responsive, and they seemed to have a strong passion for events and event …
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
Better looking invites than Marketo. We still prefer Eventbrite for our larger summits and conferences. Less heavy uplift and administrative tasks on Eventbrite. The UI is easier to use and the analytics and reports are better.
Chose Splash Event Marketing Platform
We selected them because there are very little issues with the system and the templates are amazing.

When we first started using Splash Event Marketing Platform, the platform showed great promise and worked well for our team’s needs. However, over the past year, we’ve encountered issue after issue—many of which are described by support as problems “no one else has ever experienced.” Unfortunately, this has happened frequently, making it difficult to trust the platform for consistent execution.

Pros
Cvent
  • Templates - Splash allowed Hubspot to create page templates for all of our Hubspot User Group Meet Up registration pages. So while we're just one city that hosts meet-ups, utilizing these templates helps ensure that every city's pages look the same and are able to be navigated in the same way.
  • Check In - Their app is really nice for check-in on the day of the event. I can have any co-worker log into the app on their phone and they're ready to help me manage the event. The app definitely makes our check-in process more simplified.
  • Managing RSVPs - The ability to cut off registration and start a wait list is critical for our events. We get a handful of cancellations in the week before the event (as I'm sure every other event marketer does) and we can start moving our way down the waitlist to fill our events up!

Cons
Cvent
  • When designing a landing page for an event, the functionality of the layout page is quite finicky. I would love to see the ability to add features to certain text boxes become more fluid.
  • The formatting across the layout page is not always consistent, specifically text sizing.
  • I had an issue with an account, and the support team took an extremely long time (2+ months) to produce a remedy for the issue I was experiencing.

The platform works, and it is a good system. I think there is always room for improvement. and I would like to see them up their client resolutions when it comes to problems with using the system. and see them take a more aggressive approach to addressing the clients changing needs

We love working with our account manager and priority support to answer questions efficiently and speedily. Our account manager works with us on larger and bigger picture initiatives for our instance, where the priority support is always there when you're stuck with a feature or setup, it's been great to share this resource with our global network of hosts internal and external to the company.

Alternatives Considered

Despite not being a very old company, Splash does not feel like a buggy-startup in Beta. I've used other platforms like Eventbrite that don't have the functionality Splash does, and other comparable companies to Splash that are painful to use on the backend. I would also say that the Splash team and culture is a plus. They offer a lot of training tutorials and every call is always a fun one with their team.

Return on Investment
Cvent
  • It helps me manage a number of events that I would not otherwise be able to make invitations for, manage rsvps, and do check ins. We used a more expensive product previously but it had fewer features so this is definitely an upgrade.
  • Using Splash saves me time from needing to follow up with guests. I also love the "send later" feature for email.
  • The support staff make this product super valuable as I am able to accomplish more with their help.
