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 was the only events software that could meet our needs at a price that was palatable. We have been with Cvent for over a decade and I shop around every time we come up for contract renewal just to see what's out there. Cvent hands-down is able to handle so much more complex needs than anything else out there. The value for what you get is exceptional.

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.

Cvent Management is an easier platform to use to communicate with the clients. It also does not require the client to pay any fees to promote or set up their events. I feel like Cvent Management is more interactive when it comes to scheduling, planning and getting the word out about the event.

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.

Great management tool!

These products emulate the Cvent Event Management product and offered reduced analytics and costs. However, they are lacking in integrations and expanded data analytics beyond basic information.

Both have pros and cons. E-touches is easier to sort registered attendees to accommodate preprinted badging options. Cvent Event Management - design capabilities are WAY better.

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.

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.

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.

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.
