Verified User Anonymous Chose Splash I prefer Splash to Eventbrite because the UI is so much more beautiful.

Bridget Falk Field Market Manager Chose Splash I like Splash better than Marketo for registration pages because Marketo doesn't have all the same functionality.

Caitlin Teed Experiential Marketing Manager Chose Splash We appreciated Splash's robust platform and ability to customize to our unique needs.

User Testimonials
	Splash Event Marketing Platform	Vanco Events
Likelihood to Recommend	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	Their support team is very friendly and helpful. They get back to me within a couple of hours and have lots of resources to help remotely. I like being able to check people in on mobile. Their templates make it easy to design something cool. I'm not a trained designer, but using Splash templates lets me create cool invitations that look very well designed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	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.

Likelihood to Renew	Because easy to interface and easy to manage Splash platform and individual event platform and easy to integrate with third party software such as Adobe Marketo and others softwares. Easy to maintain status and easy to relate with Salesforce campaign through Marketo . Useful in lead capturing and generation and so on we can enable business through splash.

Usability	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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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	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 design, it did the job without any issues. We didn't necessarily select to use Splash, but our event coordinators at Hubspot chose the platform for us! If we could go back, we would.

Return on Investment	Positive: We've now been able to track whether people who attend our events eventually become donors to our organization, which is HUGE for measuring event ROI and the time horizons for a donation. Negative: Can't think of any negative impacts on our business objectives. It solves the problem it is designed for, and continues to improve.
