Cvent Event Management is Useful, But Not the Most User-Friendly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Cvent Event Management for our annual in-person event and virtual master classes. It helps us with collecting registrations, and revenue, updating event information, email reminders, and surveys after the event take place. Our company requires a platform that hosts every aspect of the events we host from preplanning the agenda to invitations, to registration launches, to post-mortem feedback opportunities.
Pros
  • Clear display of agenda items
  • Easy-to-use attendee reporting
  • Quick weblink customization for marketing analytics
Cons
  • It's really difficult to know if an attendee actually showed up to the session
  • Subsequent surveys that are contingent upon attending the event are not possible. Only surveys to the general attendee list are possible (so you don't ever know if they attended)
  • Exporting reports or agenda items is not easy or sometimes possible.
  • The agenda builder / editor is very tedious and not as user friendly to an inexperienced user.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you have an event with lots of attendees and are not issuing rigorous CE credit certificates then this will pretty much do everything you need it to do. However, if you have a lot of sessions over a period of a few days, the prepping of the agenda items is a long-winded process. The system is not as robust as it could be for events that require tweaking and tailoring. For example, you cannot copy and paste course descriptions without experiencing heavy code embedded in the syntax box. You have to copy/paste it into a notepad to erase the coding and only obtain the text. So, if your event shifts courses around or things need adjusting, this process takes much longer than it should. If you have a dedicated Cvent person on your team, this process shouldn't be an issue. Our team does not, so we have to constantly test and test and test our events before we launch.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The web developers and registration managers on our operations team use Cvent to build and manage the majority of our clients' events. It's one of three registration tools we use and it allows our company to organize registration data effectively.
Pros
  • Clean reporting
  • Easy interface and navigation
  • The ability to import data into internal fields saves time.
Cons
  • I wish that after building an event, I could press one button that pulls all the fields included in that event build. Instead we have to handpick the fields which takes time.
Likelihood to Recommend
Cvent is a strong tool for small, medium and large events that require detailed reporting throughout the life-cycle of a program/event.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I really liked using Cvent Event Management! It was very helpful in planning my company's conferences and very user friendly. We had yearly conferences that required use for meeting attendees to sign up for the conference and choose different workshops.
Pros
  • Being able to read detailed descriptions of workshop descriptions.
  • Easy registration.
  • Accessibility to each registrant.
Cons
  • I do not think it's a Cvent problem, we need to make it available through registrant's firewall.
Likelihood to Recommend
Some of the questions I would ask:

  • Is it easy to create my registration site?
  • Can a registrant access and use it with ease?
  • Can easily pull a report of any information I need?

Cvent gets an A+ in my book!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Cvent has revolutionized our event management processes. We started small by only purchasing with one department for a one-year trial. After great success, we have expanded to all departments. We find the system to be user friendly, both on the staffing side and the registrant side. Customer service is top notch!
Pros
  • Cvent Event management is extremely customizable.
  • Cvent allows me to track everything in one place - budget, hotel nights, travel plans, registration, etc.
  • Cvent has a top notch customer service team that is always willing to help!
Cons
  • The cost is prohibitive for smaller organizations with a limited budget.
  • We have experienced some issues with our integration into CRM, but this is a new process and we're working out the kinks.
Likelihood to Recommend
It works for larger conferences, and/or if you have a more significant budget.
It is not likely to work for smaller organizations on a very limited budget.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I used Cvent to create our tradeshow housing forms and other national sales meetings. I have even used CrowdCompass. Cvent has lots of resources but the platform is not as user-friendly on the back end. It takes a while to train people and if you are not using it every day it takes lots of time to try to remember. The customer service is great but most of the time there is a language barrier.
Pros
  • Clean platform
  • Innovated
  • 24/7 Customer service
  • Growing
Cons
  • Customer Service language barriers
  • Simpler userface
Likelihood to Recommend
