The top reason I prefer Cvent Event Management over NetForum is the customer support. Our Account Manager and Customer Support Staff are in constant communication with us. They anticipate our needs and help us find the solutions. If we don't feel confident in a product, they loop in a specialist to provide training.

Cvent Event Management is more customisable and has a lot more features than other suppliers. I am able to fully customise the delegates experience, such as emails, website and registration form. The surveys also allow for sub questions which can be very handy if you want delegates to answer specific questions depending on their answer.

No contest and not apples to apples. However, Cvent is much more expensive. I am aware of other solutions that seem to be making a splash, but I have yet to research them and compare them to Cvent. Cvent truly is the "Cadillac" of event management software. If budget is not an issue, or if your organization understands that an investment in truly robust event management software has value (consider it half of an FTE), Cvent is a great solution.

It's a night and day difference. Blackthorn was disaster and had SO many bugs. We have yet to run into a major issue with Cvent Event Management. Cvent Event Management did cost more money, but we're getting so much more. Blackthorn didn't have user friendly event emails, Cvent Event Management does and we love them. Blackthorn did have a real time data sync with Salesforce, Cvent Event Management doesn't. But with all the bugs Blackthorn had, Cvent Event Management is by far the better solution.

Since I started in the industry we went from Starcite to Cvent and have not looked back. The benefits and features are unmatched and our company has built a great partner in Cvent. They are the innovators in the industry and we look to them as our partners for our events I do not see this ever-changing.

Eventbrite is not able to handle the complex registration forms that Cvent can. It does not collect as much information, cannot produce the save level of reports, and does not allow for multi-leveled and/or multiple registration types within one form. Being able to offer, and compare, those is vital to determining our ROI and event planning efforts. Additionally, Eventbrite does not provide as many customizable options or branding opportunities.

Cvent has far more capability than Eventbrite. Although Eventbrite is great for more simplified/smaller programs, there is no way that they could handle the complexity of the events that our organization put on. Cvent just has so many more features to offer than their competition. They do events well.

  • RegOnline by Cvent (Discontinued)
We used to use RegOnline. I do not have a lot of experience but we utilized the survey option in that for free registrations. It would be nice if there is a package we could pay for "free" events vs $3.99/registrant.

The Cvent Event Management platform outperforms Hubilo due to its event-wide integration. The platform provides all items in one central hub, allowing data to be shared seamlessly across the different areas. This removes the need for different products and software as the Cvent Event Management platform can do it all. We transitioned fully to Cvent Event Management when the ease in managing data and attendee inflation was realized.

It has been several years since our organization used DoubleDutch. However, the main reason we switched was because Cvent's package was more desirable in that it offered an online registration system, attendee engagement, feedback survey, and event marketing. Since working with Cvent, the platform offerings have expanded to include the speaker resource center and the ability to offer virtual events which is very attractive to us.

I feel Cvent Event Management provides a more robust platform for keeping all of your event planning tools and content within one centralized platform. My experience of having to bounce from platform to platform only creates more room for error and usually leads to items falling between the cracks. I feel this happens a lot with Microsoft Teams

Scaling at enterprise level. Event management is streamlined with centralized repository or events. Contacts, sponsors and registration. Integrations to upwards systems as well as downstream systems. Custom website, form, email management as well as workflow management. GDPR and sunshine compliant. SSO enabled and custom access portal. quick API provision and OOB integration.

Eventbrite is more for basic or free events. They're a great place for startups for social events, but Cvent is made for conference management. Cvent Event Manager offers way more features and is tailored to those types of events. Eventbrite is mainly for event registration, but you would have to have multiple software to try and match all of the services Cvent Event Manager offers
