What is Attendify?

Attendify is an event management software system offered by Attendify.

Categories & Use Cases

Phenomenal event management platform for virtual, hybrid or in-person experiences!

Pros

  • The Attendify platform provides a seamless user experience by utilizing a web-based and mobile app platform simultaneously. This creates a dual-screen experience, which is helpful since we already know people are on their smartphones anyways.
  • The ability to embed Zoom, YouTube or Vimeo videos is a huge win! It's clean and admin friendly.
  • The scheduled push notifications are very helpful to notify attendees on both mobile and the web-based portal of important info at strategic times.

Cons

  • It would be helpful for Attendify to provide more filter options in the attendees view of the admin portal. This would allow ease of filtering the various columns and also being able to export the list into a .xls or .csv would be great.
  • It would be neat if Attendify could create a feature for attendees that allowed them to be automatically redirected to the next scheduled session on the Event Schedule. This would be an opt in/out feature, but the benefits would be attendees feeling like it's more of a Netflix watch party.
  • I'd like to see the Push Notifications feature expanded to allow hyperlinks to either internal or external web pages.

Return on Investment

  • If we didn't use Attendify, we'd have lame events only utilizing Zoom or Webex. Instead, we've been able to engage with thousands of prospective students and their families in less than six (6) months!
  • It's allowed us to continue to portray our brand as strong, industrious and professional.

Attendify is a Great Value & Platform

Pros

  • Attendify's best quality is the ease of use. It sets up very quickly and with little knowledge of coding. You can be up and running for your event in half an hour.
  • Attendify has the best app for the best price. The app is designed to allow for ease of use with great social media applications. You can broadcast messages and even assign points for usage.
  • Attendify did an amazing job with developing a virtual event platform. You can use Attendify for everything or blend Zoom and other platforms in with Attendify. The end users just goes to the Attendify website or app and everything else is embedded in the platform. We have used it for multiple events and it has performed amazingly.

Cons

  • Attendify has just one con that I can share and that is gamification. While the platform assigns points for usage, it lacks a formal gamification feature. This is something I think Attendify is aware of and may be working on.

Return on Investment

  • Attendify has kept me in budget. As I have worked on multiple virtual events and with multiple apps, I find that much of my discretionary budget can be spent on apps or websites but Attendify has allowed me to save much of that budget and use it to enhance my offerings to my clients.

Best meeting app platform: Attendify!

Pros

  • Personalized schedules - I absolutely love the excel grid that attendify uses to personalize schedules, makes it much easier when you can see names and emails vs trying to use some ID code.
  • Private Distribution - Allowing clients to have apps with personalized icons and names instead of having to use a hub app is perfect for many larger clients with strict branding policies.
  • Layout of the app - The overall layout of the app is much more appealing and smoother. You only see sections that we use and want, in other apps there are sections that we may not use that we cannot hide because they are hard coded into the layout.
  • Social Content - Exporting all content from the app is very smooth and easy, allowing clients to receive a file of all information rather than having to go in and download it themselves and try to share with others. Also managing/editing/hiding content that is posted by attendees is able to be done and easy to do, other apps I have had to get support on the phone and have a developer hide a posting that had improper spelling.
  • Attendee Import - The amount of data that Attendify allows you to import is great including profile photos which most other apps don't allow.

Cons

  • Personalized Agendas - I do wish that when exporting a personalized agenda document that it would also include the group.
  • Social Wall - I would like if the social wall could include external social media inputs using a specific hashtag.
  • Attendees Groupings - It would be nice if attendee groupings could be updated through document import even after an attendee has logged into their profile.

Return on Investment

  • Cost of a single app is reasonable which is has attracted clients to use it more often, increasing services we can bill for.
