Events from start to finish
We use Cvent Event Management while running all of our events, which generally range in scale from less than 50 people to several hundred. We use the Cvent platform from start to finish, from venue sourcing, through attendee registration, and all the way to printing badges onsite, and collecting attendance data. I use Cvent everyday, and trust in its products. Occasionally there are hiccoughs, but Cvent's support team are very responsive and competent.
- Collecting data all in one place, and making it easily accessible.
- Fast to pick up and easy to use.
- Easy to teach to new colleagues
- Occasionally new features are rolled out with little to no warning, which can have an impact on my day-to-day
- There is a lot of button clicking on the platform!

Review 2023
In our business we use Cvent Event Management to manage delegate registrations. We do this by creating a website with all information regarding the event, and we send out comms using Cvent Event Management emails to keep delegates in the loop. It is a great tool to have while planning events, specifically to do with delegate management.

Cvent Event Management a Clear Winner in the Space - For a Price
Cvent is used by our marketing department, as well as key staff on our sales team. This event management system allows us to manage the full lifecycle of our events and integrate the data with our Salesforce CRM. Cvent's nimble platform allowed us to quickly pivot from in-person to virtual events in early 2020, and execute triple the amount of events as usual, and also integrate Zoom into the platform. In fact, we were Cvent's first native Zoom integration client.
- Event landing pages are fully customizeable with your company branding, and the latest version of the landing page creation tool, "Flex", is a true WYSIWYG tool, requiring no HTML coding knowledge.
- There is a robust survey tool add-on, Inquisium, which allows you to survey your attendees, and even sync their responses to your CRM.
- Contacts/invitees functionality is very robust. You can easily track who you've sent event invitations to, whether they've opened the invite, registered, declined, etc. And you can sync this data to Salesforce Contacts and Salesforce Campaigns to make it easy for your sales team to see who has registered (without having to constantly ask you!).
- There's a robust venue sourcing and RFP tool integrated in the system!
- Cvent can be integrated with Zoom for a seamless experience for webinar attendees.
- So many modules or functions are "add-ons".
- Subscription prices have creeped up over time.
- Per person registration can be very expensive over time.
- They need to do a better job of allowing clients to report on ANY data points.

Cvent - Your One Stop Shop for Excellent Event Management!
I use Cvent for all internal and external events, including the supplier network. I'm the sole user of this software in my company. Cvent eliminates the needs for spreadsheets and manual data entry. Cvent also provides one central location for me to handle all registration, hotel requests and appointment scheduling. I don't know how we survived our events before Cvent!
- Cvent provides one central location for all attendee requests/needs
- Cvent's supplier network is unbridled in the industry. It's a complex tool that allows you to drill down to what you're really looking for.
- Cvent's integrations are comprehensive, including: Passkey, CrowdCompass, Inquisium and Salesforce.
- Cvent is continually improving and adding to it's product suite to provide solutions for the end user.
- Cvent's FLEX registration system is new as of 10/31/18 and there are still some kinks to work out. Cvent would like it to be it's primary registration tool as it's clean and provides lots of flexibility, but there are many features not available yet.
- There are some inconsistencies in some of the layouts in Cvent-- not every screen looks the same.
- Importing information within Cvent can be difficult, as they require very specific information/formats. If you don't get it right the first time, it can be cumbersome to figure out what is needed.
- Cvent tends to sunset features that negatively impact it's end user.

I managed attendee registration for a number of programs at a time. Cvent Event Management has made it possible to organize all of these requests. It makes it much easier for the attendee, the manager (myself), and the clients we work with. I've had to manually collect this information before - Cvent Event Management definitely saves time and frustration.
- Reporting features
- Organized data
- User friendly
- Updating attendee info - without access to my clients full account, I get stuck and can't update an email or incorrect spelling
- People are constantly skipping hotel and/or airline requests
- Make a report that pulls absolutely every single thing collected in a website

Cvent - Innovative and Dependable
We use Cvent Event Management as a tool from pre-event to post event. It truly makes the event experience from save the dates, invitation, registration website (which houses all of the information from our attendees and also gives them all of the information they need to attend the event). We also use it for communications pre-event and surveys and post event communications. It is a vital tool in connecting the attendees with the event.
- Connects attendees with information for their event.
- Allows us to safely collect data and information from our attendees needed to provide to our vendors.
- Allows us to organize data and build out custom reporting needs.
- Sometimes glitches - but these things can happen on any tool.
- Maybe feature more classic features into FLEX.

Comprehensive and Customizable Event Management!
The biggest problem that Cvent Event Management solves for my organization is the process and management of online registrations. The ease of building these forms and accompanying website, as well as the collection of important data and payment, makes this platform rise above other event management solutions. We host several smaller events each year, averaging ~25-500 attendees each (for a total of ~1000 registrations each year). This system allows us to collect and compare data across events to determine ROI, event comparing the same events year over year. Additionally, the customizable features for building websites allows us to fully brand the experience for our attendees; it doesn't "look like" we're using a third-party site.

- Custom Websites
- Payment Processing
- Expensive
- Customer Service
- Frequent changes to the platform to learn

Cvent Event Management makes meeting management that much easier
I am a daily user of Cvent Event Management, we support multiple client meetings and events and use it to gather all relevant data needed for a successful event. We have many clients that previously captured necessary data via surveys or emails, where they would have to piece together an attendees information like if they were attending or not, name badge details, dietary needs, swag sizes, activity preferences, etc. Then they would have to give attendees direction on how to book flights or ground if necessary. By setting their events up in Cvent Event Management we work with clients to obtain all data with one easy registration process, making their lives easier. We also use the event pages to relay all the important details of their event, such as agenda, speakers, session details, activity information, flight/hotel/ground details and more.
- Reporting
- Built in widgets to collect information
- Planner alerts
- In my experinece, I sometimes we find pop up boxes when for ex we are changing an attendees session to not show all information and you don't realize until you scroll down it is asking additional questions.
- I can't always find things I need in the online help searches. In my experience, often unless you get lucky with a specific wording, it's hard to find articles to help with issues.

Cvent Event Management makes event planning and execution seamless!
We plan several events per year using Cvent Event Management. We use the Flex event option to build out the registration website, send emails to our registrants, register attendees and have them complete post event surveys. Being able to have everything in one place and use the same software from start to finish has been so helpful. We have been using Cvent for 15 years and the advancements and improvements over the years continue to make my job easier.
- Registration pages and options
- Easy site building
- Reporting
- Tech help and customer service
- Speaker Resource Center
- Data tags in Session descriptions
- 15 minute idle before getting logged out

Cvent for Universities with TouchNet
We have a few departments at George Mason University who use Cvent. My office, University Events, contracted it for registration for events. We are a TouchNet Ready University and Cvent was a platform that worked with this service. Cvent provides us with a clean, practical, professional event registration system for our events. In particular it allows us to provide a website and full registration system for conferences.
- Coordination - they are great at coordinating you with members of their team to best solve your issues.
- All-Inclusive - Cvent is a full package software offering supplemental items for conferences.
- Communication - My team has been impressed with the follow up and ongoing communication of the Cvent team.
- Transparency - We had issues when we started with transparency of what the software could accomplish due to TouchNet.
- Cost - We have found the costs to be a bit high at times. This is in particular for Social Tables and when we have had to renegotiate contracts.
- Classic Vs. Flex - Classic is being discontinued but we found that it offered more than Flex a few years ago.

We are a system of community colleges in Louisiana that use Cvent Event Management to register faculty, staff, students, and sponsors/vendors for events throughout the year. We offer in-person and virtual events via Cvent. The system greatly helps our small staff manage registrations, provide event information (such as agenda, speakers, award info, etc.) to attendees, and identify sponsorship opportunities.
- Professional online event registration.
- Outstanding customer service team.
- Run reports with ease.
- Some features are time consuming, i.e. too many clicks.
- Takes a lot of time to learn the layout.
- Things are changing often (usually for the better) but you really need to take time to relearn where things are located.

Hello! I use Cvent on a daily basis for all of our programs. Aside from a few changes, Cvent has been great. With the changes, of course, have come many questions and when I get stuck, I call customer support and they are always more than willing to help solve my problem! I think that Cvent is very user-friendly. It definitely takes some time to learn all the ins and outs because there is so much to learn and many cool features!
- Custom Reporting.
- Emails that we can send to clients are amazing!
- The websites we are able to build are great especially with the custom features.
- The publishing of reports, parking reports was so much easier.
- The speed I feel has slowed down with all the changes.
- The hotel module more flexibility.

Cvent Event Management is a one stop shop for all our event needs. We have used it to get contracts for venues, build registration sites complex events, and build apps for off-site events. It makes it very convenient to have the event information in one place that we can pull into the different these different areas.
- Create RFPs
- Attendee Hub for one stop shop
- As a travel coordinator I wish there was a function were we could move all travel needs for events and be able to create a personalized itinerary for each participant.

Internal and external events organized by the company. We have more than 7 integrations at present and 5 more in pipeline. The challenge is w/ the API. It is all or none. Hence exposing secret data to downstream systems even though they don’t need it. It adds unnecessary additional effort on our end to validate downstream systems.
- Globalization
- Integrations
- Flexibility
- API data access to selected fields
