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.

Premier Mobile Event App

Our first choice was CrowdCompass, and we will likely stick with it. It is the best in class for event mobile apps, provides very user friendly build capabilities, and easy to drive adoption. The fact that it integrates well with our registration website and onsite registration is a huge plus as well, cuts down tremendously on time, effort and cost.

Just the simple fact that CrowdCompass would offer a much more seamless integration with the rest of our Cvent Event Management system is the main advantage and what sets it apart from other competitors in the industry and market.

CrowdCompass is better because with Attendify multiple admins supporting the event who wanted to be able to send notifications to specific people[was difficult]. With only one admin access account, I had to be the gatekeeper for all communication that went out.

It is better than Certain and quite comparable to QuickMobile. There are items that I like better in CrowdCompass and vice versa. I think that the map features are much better in CrowdCompass than the other mobile applications. I know there are great changes and updates coming from CrowdCompass as well that will put it ahead of the rest.

CrowdCompass' biggest deterrent is cost. If the client already has their own instance of Cvent, typically they will use CrowdCompass. If they do not then we typically look at other options, as many are much cheaper.

Personally, I do not know many competitors of CrowdCompass, since they seem to be the industry standard/leader. CrowdCompass was chosen since our organization utilizes Cvent's registration software. We also require a single sign on and require users to make a username and password on our site in order to receive access to papers and other information. Cvent and CrowdCompass allow just that.

We have used EventRebels and EventLite - both are great in their own ways, but they do not integrate with Cvent unfortunately. They are definitely more cost effective options, but you do get what you pay for when you don't have CrowdCompass.

We have also used Certain and QuikMobile. Certain was not as intuitive. However, it did have the option to message groups with certain sessions. CrowdCompass is a little more delayed on that aspect. I have experienced a program where I did not even message the entire group about their activities, as it was too time consuming to add them to groups.

We started using CrowdCompass before there were a lot of alternatives and/or competitors to select from, however I believe our choice would be the same to this day. Not only is Crowd Compass such a great tool in its own right, but it also works hand in hand with Cvent which makes everything that much easier and more reliable.

We could create session notifications based on registration type in QuickMobile vs Cvent
  • The overall pricing point for Cvent was better than QuickMobile
  • In app gaming feature is more enhanced in Cvent

We wanted a platform that would seamlessly integrate with out registration platform and a one stop shop with the same company. Hence once we moved our registration platform to Cvent we also switched to their mobile app platform.

Checked out DoubleDutch and EventMobi. For the basic logistics features I need as well as more advanced engagement tools, CrowdCompass came out on top for price and usability.

Also, CrowdCompass is integrated with our registration back-end, Cvent. So all my sessions, attendees, and speakers flow from Cvent into CrowdCompass, saving me tons of work. While CrowdCompass can stand alone, I love that it integrates with my regular website back end. Also, the Appointments tool is now completely integrated with CrowdCompass, so my attendees can book their own ad-hoc meetings, saving my event staff a ton of time and headaches.

  • Guidebook
There were several other apps we looked at, but it came down to Guidebook and CrowdCompass. Both had similar capabilities, but we were already using Cvent, which could be leveraged to connect the event registration to the app. It just made sense.
