This platform did not evolve as fast with the needs of it's client in fast newer, cleaner websites that also support the vast needs of our growing clients who were now looking to Wix for newer styles. We were already using Cvent for our sourcing so we wanted to try out the event portion to see if it would be a good fit and it proved it was, way beyond our expectations.

We had used Constant Contact for our event management for an event prior to us researching Cvent and it was a disaster, cumbersome, clunky, and just a pain in the rump. From our bad experience with using Constant Contact to manage events (great for emails!), we started doing some leg work to find a better solution and that's how we came across Cvent. We did quite a few demo calls with them and then we chose them and have stayed with them since.

They do not stack up, unless you want a simple invite and registration with basic personal questions. Cvent offers details and customization not only for the planner (i.e reporting, check-in, payment, questions) but for the attendee as well (all information in one place, quick time updates, etc.). The reason was simple you get more for your money and it is incredibly time saving and efficient with budgeting tools, reporting, archiving and having all information stored in one place. Did I mention you can access it from anywhere, I sometimes have to work at home or in other cities this allows me to jump on any computer and begin the work!!

Cvent is by far the most agile and offers the widest range of services and uses! Their recent acquisitions continue to make them a leader in events beyond just the registration aspect, so I like that our organization can continue to grow in the services they provide. I never feel like Cvent will be out of date, but rather they are leading the way in the industry.

Cvent is the gold standard in the industry. The other software that we evaluated was good, but no one can come close to the support, training, and functionality of Cvent. Their new platform is incredibly user-friendly. And they integrate with numerous third-party software providers to expand their functionality exponentially.

We have always used Cvent Event Management and it has always been a great experience for us so we have not explored other options. Cvent has a great support team and our account managers are very helpful. Cvent offers so many resources to learn more about enhancements and how you can optimize your use of the solution.

I have not used another event planning software and am not able to compare them accurately. I have done most of my event planning manually or as a team. Cvent Event Management helps streamline a lot of the process if you are working on a team because everyone who has access to the account can see what information has already been done and it will not be accidentally duplicated.

We are not sure how other systems stack up, but we chose Cvent because I used at my previous job and bought the subscription as soon as I started my new job. We are always increasing our efforts and Cvent has helped facilitate this. We really appreciate it! Thank you.

We selected Cvent Event Management because it gave more control to the planner. The planner can do a lot more in the designing, creating, and managing of the events.

We needed a robust event management tool. It was important to adopt a platform that offered support in all facets of event planning, from A to Z. Beginning with the RFP process, it allowed key stakeholders to ensure that we were sourcing approved properties. The registration sites looked professional and the invitation process was straight forward, as was all of the other optional auto-generated communications. We wanted the ability to add SFDC integration at some point, and knew we needed an integrated mobile app. Cvent hit all of those points.

Cvent has the most industry recognition. Our clients like to hear that they are using Cvent, as they are comfortable and familiar. Cvent also has the most integration/cooperation with other software, no competitor comes close to their reach across all aspects of the event planning industry. Once using Cvent for one tool, it makes sense to go 'all in' and incorporate more Cvent products into your processes.
