CrowdCompass is a versatile app that is widely used by event attendees to access schedules, event information, and communicate with organizers. Users have reported that the app offers a unique and interactive experience, making networking more enjoyable at events. The advanced functionalities and mission-critical security components of CrowdCompass have made it a preferred choice for Siemens AG and its subdivisions. One of the key benefits of the app is its ability to easily download and load event information across various platforms, making it convenient for users.

The use cases of CrowdCompass are extensive, ranging from regional to global events. It provides valuable information on schedules, sessions, handouts, event communications, and even social media engagement. The app supports gamification features, custom content creation, and personalized schedules for specific groups. This has proven to be particularly useful for small events management departments, as it enhances their efficiency and enables effective communication with attendees.

CrowdCompass has addressed several common problems faced by event organizers. Its ability to eliminate the need for printing handouts not only helps reduce costs but also promotes environmental consciousness. Additionally, the app generates additional revenue through banner ad sales while providing trackable attendee engagement data. For large conferences and events in the travel incentive industry, CrowdCompass has successfully tackled on-site communication challenges by offering personalized schedules and push notifications.

Integration with Cvent SMM has been a significant advantage for many users, as it saves time and provides real-time updates and changes during events. The software seamlessly integrates with other registration sites as well, making it simpler for organizers to provide a better experience for attendees. Furthermore, CrowdCompass serves as the main source of event information for annual user meetings and conferences, eliminating the need for printed materials.

Overall, users appreciate the value that CrowdCompass brings to their events by providing a clean and usable mobile app experience for any size event. Its features such as delegate lists, agendas, notifications, and maps have proven to be highly valuable for managing events and providing information to attendees. Push notifications are particularly appreciated as they enable timely updates and important announcements during events. While there may be room for improvement in terms of the app's interface, users express overall satisfaction with CrowdCompass and its contribution to enhancing the event experience.

Based on user reviews, the most common recommendations for CrowdCompass are to customize the app to meet specific needs, consider integration with Cvent for seamless registration and unique content, and explore alternative vendors for additional features.

Users highly advise becoming familiar with CrowdCompass settings and taking the time to learn all of its features. They recommend customizing the app to meet specific event requirements and being patient during the initial setup.

For events that integrate with Cvent registration and require tailored content, users highly recommend using CrowdCompass. They also suggest using CrowdCompass for events that don't need frequent changes in Cvent. Easy integration with Cvent and GDPR compliance are prioritized.

While users appreciate CrowdCompass for its event engagement, connectivity, and cost-saving benefits, some suggest exploring alternatives that offer more gamification and connection options. They encourage comparing CrowdCompass with other event smartphone/tablet apps and considering data export requirements.

In summary, users recommend trying CrowdCompass for instant communication, meeting evaluation/surveys, event engagement, connectivity, cost-saving benefits, and organizing large corporate events. They highlight the importance of customization, integration with Cvent, and considering alternative vendors if specific features are needed.

It has been a while since I have used a tool other than CrowdCompass for app builds. However, when I did previously use a variety of tools, I often felt that CrowdCompass had better functionality and integration opportunities than the other tools. Attendee management and sending out push notifications always seemed so simple with CrowdCompass but not always so with some of the other options.

I have only used CrowdCompass for apps so I don't have much to say on other companies. We did look at DoubleDutch last year but decided to stay with CrowdCompass. And then they bought DoubleDutch so ultimately it was a good decision. There were some good features in DD that CC did not have so I am hopeful that they will be incorporated into CC soon.

CrowdCompass offers a lot more in terms of networking, sponsorship, and gamification. We also would not have been able to go without printed materials is we had used Sched. The return on investment for using CrowdCompass, even though it was more expensive, made switching to the application much more effective. Our board and participants gave it much better reviews.

DoubleDutch definitely had a more robust social platform. Allowing us to see who liked posts on the activity feed and easier sharing externally. However, CrowdCompass excels in overall look/feel and ability to customize details. The appointment feature has also been critical for our success.

Core-apps is a little buggy and doesn't work super well. We only use it for our Annual Convention because they are the only app vendor that can handle our thousands of sessions and hours of programming that we need to display on the app. Otherwise, CrowdCompass is superior in every way for our other events.

There were 2 apps that got an "A" grade, CrowdCompass and Follow Me. CrowdCompass's finance model was more tolerable as a vendor fee than the revenue-share model for Follow Me. All of the others had significant deficiencies by comparison.
At the time, CrowdCompass was one of the few to offer an API, which we took advantage of.

We selected CrowdCompass because of the cost, and an effort to ease the legwork on the planning side. We had a registration system prior to CrowdCompass, but it did not offer an onsite app. We used CrowdCompass at an industry event and felt it was perfect for our event.

We currently use Cvent Event Management and it works well to use them together or integrate them. I prefer not to use social tables, another Cvent program, because it is often times much more simplified if creating on your own. I think CrowdCompass is a great mix of functionality and customization that integrates well with other Cvent programs.

CrowdCompass gamification is too static. MeetingPlay allows us to have multiple concurrent tracks with different questions assigned with defined time slots to defined attendees. MeetingPlay allows us to checkbox an agenda item as that item is created to also appear in personal agendas automatically.

Compared to Whova, CrowdCompass offered me way more functionalities even if not all of them were useful for me at the beginning. It was offering me more flexibility and evolution possibilities which ended up being needed quickly.
Compared to EventMobi, two factors helped me make my decision:
  • The price as CrowdCompass better fit my budget.
  • And the entire ecosystem on top of the event app with tools like registration websites, a lead capture module, appointments.

CrowdCompass is easy to use as it integrates seamlessly with Cvent, which provides a one-stop-shop from site selection to registration, and now to also have the app component onsite. I have found that it is much easier to use than other similar products, and is great that it integrates with other platforms.

I would like to keep other product names out of my review, but I know other apps are more difficult to build out and aren't intuitive to the average user. It is super easy to train new employees on the platform and copy past event elements and bring them to new apps!

The ability to integrate with CventFlex registration was amazing compared to the lack of that functionality with EventMobi. The product was intuitive for our attendees and looked sleek and professional. It was great to have the polling functionality within the app and have users leave feedback about the sessions. This functionality was completing lacking with EventMobi.

Also, you can't beat the price. For what we got, it was priced amazingly, especially compared to other products out there.

Crowdcompass is a pretty solid tool. The integration with Cvent does not require any technical resources, it is literally clicking a few buttons which is a must for us. It has really helped to cut down on the build time by not having to re-create all of the content—really agenda and speakers—over and over again.
