Bizzabo Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bizzabo for our corporate events. It's a fantastic tool for tracking registrations, client needs, reviews, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

The best thing about this platform is that it's user friendly. Their support team is also the best in class.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bizzabo for one of our clients [...]. The product addresses everything we need! In particular, we like the flexibility you have in creating custom questions, custom logic and the reporting system is very thorough. My scope of use is minimal, i'm mostly pulling reports and assisting my client on the back end as needed.

Likelihood to Recommend

We were going to use Bizzabo for a big airport event, but chose not to because of the lack of customer support. We needed to be able to call them at any moment if there was an issue since we were working with a government entity.

That being said, we do recommend Bizzabo to clients that can't afford CVENT and all of the bells and whistles. Because it does have almost the same functionality, just less support.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Within our organization, we use Bizzabo for our New Customer Trial Programs as well as our annual conferences, which have adopted a hybrid format ever since the Pandemic. With Bizzabo, we are able to run in-person and virtual events, delivering a memorable experience where every attendee can engage and take away key learnings.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bizzabo is really well suited for large-scale hybrid events. In this day and age, it's imperative to have a software that can successfully accommodate virtual and in-person attendees. Bizzabo blends these experiences extremely well. It is also great when event agendas are complex and need customizations - Bizzabo offers flexibility and has options for tracking session attendance. Bizzabo does not work well for smaller events with in-person only registrations. The risk of the equipment not working is high and, for smaller events, not worth the stress!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's basically a CRM for events. It serves many functions for us. We use it for ticket sales, to add all our agenda session details and speaker info, promo codes, registration for each session, sponsor details, and more. It's a great all-in-one stop shop for event management.

Likelihood to Recommend

All platforms have their setbacks, but one of the better options for event management in terms of the capabilities it offers. It processes things (mostly referring to searching for registration, speaker, session, etc.) super fast, which is a great feature and super helpful because our events are so large.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We here at [...] University use Bizzabo for all of our major events, including our annual commencement ceremonies. We love that we are able to live stream, sell tickets, present a website and collect information all in one location.

Likelihood to Recommend

We have used several systems here at the University and out of all of them this one is the best by far! We have everything in one location. My only complaint really is that it would be nice to not have to have a full webpage for a very simple event. Something basic with just a header photo and the event details would be nice. I know that this can be made on the site, it just seems a little too intricate for a basic event.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization uses Bizzabo (and Klik) as our main event content management platform and registration system for our large 10,000 attendee event.

We use most of the features, including speaker profiles, sponsor profiles, session management, registration, promo codes, etc. It has been really helpful for almost all of our event related data to live in one place.

This will be our second year using Bizzabo, as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

I have only used Bizzabo for large events. The price point is reasonable but for smaller events it may not make sense. I would recommend it for events that have complex registration needs, or a complex schedule.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bizzabo as an event registration platform, which helps us efficiently gather information from our partners. It also allows us to create and host an event website that we then use to promote via our social channels and email communications. This helps us track registrations and allows for more registrants.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bizzabo is a great platform for event registration. The backend is easy to use, and you can track all information well. You can also integrate many platforms like Hubspot, which allows you to keep your company's preferred format and all communications unison.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bizzabo for all of our external events. When creating an event website, we leverage their embed scripts on our own Website. The items we most often use are the partners, speakers, agenda, and sign-up form. Our organization has used Bizzabo for over seven years now. During that time, we have considered switching to other providers. Switching usually costs us more for similar functionality, so we are still on Bizzabo.

Likelihood to Recommend

Smaller in-person events are well suited for Bizzabo. I don't have events with over 5k people, so I wouldn't know how it does beyond that point. Everything goes fine as long as you have people familiar with the processes and can manage the event setup. They also offer to send a Bizzabo expert to your event for a fee. It may be worth it for significant events.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Bizzabo for hosting event registrations as well as webinar registrations - mostly for single session webinars and things like happy hours or dinners - as well as all of the email engagement features minus sending event/webinar invites. We run 40-50 webinars a year and about the same amount of events. We need a tool that can build out events and webinars efficiently, share data amongst a large team, and provide data that helps us to make better decisions in the future.

Likelihood to Recommend

My biggest frustration with Bizzabo is how time-intensive it is to set up events and add all necessary details. There is not an easy way to my knowledge to use dynamic data to fill in landing pages, registration, emails, etc. and as a result creating events is time-consuming and very monotonous in my experience.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bizzabo for our event registrations, but this website isn't customizable to our business needs. The detailed information we do need isn't available and there's a bunch of steps added into the platform that we don't need. For example, for a simple check-in, I'm forced to create badges even though I have selected no badge printing. There's no room to work around settings and it's gotten worse with the new update.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my opinion, the set-up is so overcomplicated and many options are hidden unless you're going down and clicking one-by-one on the tool menu. For our organization, we need a tighter process that requires similar formatting and tools. There's multiple areas where I can enter notes for the registering participant but it's unclear where those notes are going to be displayed.
