Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Cvent Event Management to manage all our registrations for our public education programs. It is being used by our teams in APAC and North America (HQ). It helps us seamlessly manage registrations, receive, invoice and track payments in conjunction with Stripe.
Pros
  • Payment management - seamlessly integrates with our Stripe accounts
  • Registrations - collect participant information, payments, detailed reports for finance
  • Event Management - I like using the very convenient Cvent Event Management function for Supplier venue RFPs
  • Website and Email templates - Makes the creation of great looking websites and emails easy
Cons
  • Payments - Cvent Event Management is incapable of having more than one currency account active for an event. This would be useful as we have multiple currency accounts and our participants are from all over the world.
  • More intuitive reports or reports that capture all possible details from an event. As it is, I have to create more than 1 report if I need it to display certain types of information from a participant registration.
  • Integration with Netsuite and Hubspot is difficult to set up.
Likelihood to Recommend
Cvent Event Management is perfect for all kinds of events. The recent upgrades and updates that make it easier to manage virtual and hybrid events have really helped us in recent times. The only caveat is that it is so powerful, packed with features and constantly upgrading that there is a high learning curve. I have been using it for almost 10 years and I'm still learning new things every day!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We currently use Cvent to design websites for events and conferences hosted by my organization, as well as for clients hosting in our event space. We mostly use this in-house for our department since we are new users, but intend to one day use it more for the latter mentioned reason.
Pros
  • They have an incredible customer service database.
  • The website build is fairly user-friendly.
  • There are quite a few reporting options that are very useful.
Cons
  • The process of using the conference builder takes a minute to learn.
  • It can be costly for smaller organizations.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is great for event and conference management as it helps organizers stay on track with their planning.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Cvent Event Management to manage orientation reservations. We use it to manage course registration sessions and we integrate it with our university student info system so that academic units have visibility on orientation reservations. I hope to see Cvent Event Management enhance more of its higher ed usage and features. For instance, it would be helpful to incorporate more flexibility in guest options and registration options.
Pros
  • Emails
  • Registration
  • Website
Cons
  • Email templates
  • Registration types
  • Admission items
Likelihood to Recommend
Any organization that hosts events and needs special details sent to their students and guests. Cvent Event Management is great to manage capacities and allows for in-person and virtual options. It is also helpful as it is integrated with a mobile app that allows our customers to easily access information and engage with our office and the larger university.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Cvent is being used as an event management platform. We utilize the system for processing registrations, setting up event websites, sending out marketing emails, and hosting our agendas. Cvent allows us to combine our website management, email marketing, and registration in one platform, as opposed to how we used to have to manage these items: Wordpress, Constant Contact, and Paypal, respectively.
Pros
  • Processing registrations--Makes it easy for our customers to pay online on a secure system and for us to check these registrations and issue refunds, discount codes, or credits.
  • Agenda viewing--Cvent settings allow for a nice and easy agenda entry system
  • Email marketing--allows for event email marketing on the same site as opposed to using a separate service such as Mail Chimp or Constant Contact.
Cons
  • Because there is so much involved in Cvent, learning the ropes can be a little challenging. They do offer videos and tutorials, however, I prefer to learn by doing. It took a little adjustment but I eventually got the hang of it.
  • There are times while working on Cvent that the system will go down, making some frustrations if I am in the middle of working on a project.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well-suited to conference companies or event planning organizations. It is less appropriate for companies doing one conference a year as price may not make sense for such infrequent usage.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Cvent is used by several people in our company for venue sourcing, registration management, communications, reporting, and feedback. It is a logistical tool that helps us create efficiency, and improve the attendee experience. We also offer the other complementing Cvent products to our clients, which creates a more robust event experience.
Pros
  • Their customer support services offer easy ways to multitask with a chat feature, a team that is consistently knowledgeable and helpful, and who provide solutions in the majority of situations.
  • They are constantly taking feedback and improving on their products. I enjoy the quarterly product webinars they host, so I can stay up to date on new offerings and features.
  • The reporting tools are very robust, and it is rare that I can not customize to show exactly what I need.
Cons
  • Cvent offers so much that it is slightly overwhelming to new hires.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited when in-depth reporting is needed, and when you need to share live reports with people on or outside your team.
