Attendify started out being used by just my department, Enrollment Services, back in Fall 2020. Like many organizations, it came onto our radar when we were in the midst of pivoting all of our on-campus events to virtual experiences. This April, I will have used it for three (3) different events on six (6) separate occasions. I use it to deliver engaging content and provide an interactive experience for high school students and others considering a transfer to our institution. The Alumni and Parent Relations office at the university also decided to use it for their own virtual event when they had heard how successful it was for me. It helps us still reach prospective students (maybe even more now then before) to try to showcase the university from the comfort of their own home.
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
I already recommended Attendify to a colleague in another department and he ended up using it! I give a rating of a 9 because it's a stellar product, especially for the price. It's great that you can even start building your virtual experience before you even purchase it. This helps visual learners like myself to see what it could potentially be like, work out for the desired use, etc. Overall, the platform is great for combining pre-recorded videos with live sessions. It helps provide a robust experience for attendees.
I use Attendify with the various clients that we serve in the education field. We used Attendify as a conference app for many years but just started using it for virtual events. Attendify solved so much for us in regards to a cost affordable way to run virtual events. Our next evolution of use will be to use the registration options.
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
There are better platforms than Attendify but they come at an outrageous price tag. Attendify has just the right amount of tools and more for the right price. It is excellent for virtual events and for use as a conference app.
Attendify is used by the Event Technology department for client and internal meetings. Instead of having to hand out paper agendas and send lots of email with meeting information basic and personalized for attendees and staff at the meeting we load this information into the app and notify attendees of the app approximately a few days to a week before the meeting so they can access content and receive notifications all in one place.
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
For private distribution and specific branding/naming of an app, Attendify is the best option. If you are having to personalize agendas or having different agendas for different groups, Attendify makes the solution easy to build and manage.
If you use Cvent and have sessions built in there already and the client is happy to buy and build their own container app and distribute all apps through it, then you should look at other options.
