We looked everywhere and met with multiple companies prior to signing with Cvent [Event Management]. We saw the potential and knew the decision to select Cvent [Event Management] would be the right one and since then we have been right.

I used Event Pro many years ago before we started using Cvent Event Management. Basically moved over to Cvent Event Management when EventPro crashed and we lost all our event websites. Netsuite was used by our HQ to manage payments for a virtual event and that crashed really badly as well. I would always recommend Cvent Event Management. 100% better.

The comprehensive solutions offered by Cvent Event Management were superior to the other solutions we evaluated. While some of them might have offered a few aspects of what we were looking for, Cvent offered enough to help us keep all aspects of the event with one vendor which was a huge time savings.

Our existing relationship with [Cvent Event Management] led us to stick with them when it came time to choose a virtual platform, and it certainly delivered and showed that it had the capability to be the polished, yet simple, platform that resonated best with our audience. The new virtual offering was still going through some growing pains when we used it, but it has the potential to be a major competitor in the virtual event space, and they're already well established in the in-person event management space.

We previously used Starcite, and Cvent has a much better interface and many more functionalities. Some that we haven't even gotten to use yet but plan to. Cvent allows everyone in the company to quickly gather the information that they need. The user interface is very simple and our external customers have little to no issues when registering for our events, etc. It's simple and easy to use.

My first year, we used Google Forms to collect attendee information, which was a painful process. Cvent Event Management took the entire process to the 21st century. The automation features and ease of end-user use played a large factor in our using their product. Plus, our attendees prefer this registration experience to any others we've used in the past.

My company previously owned and developed all of our registration/reporting platforms. Cvent has continued to get more granular and detailed within specific areas, so it is now very comparable to what we used to have. I love that it can all be done at an account management level vs. having to wait days for a programmer to code or make changes.

When searching for a product to use, Cvent Event Management had the best reviews. Therefore, I didn't use any other products and went straight to Cvent. I also found that other event managers within my company were using Cvent already and had great success.

Cvent has the best platform from a user experience on the client facing side to the back-end user interface. Cvent has great integrations with other platforms such as Cisco's Webex, Zoom, and most importantly merchant accounts. But, what helps Cvent stand out the most to all other platforms is their commitment to improving their product. Cvent has a great product road map and has been keeping to their deadlines.

I used RegOnline previously and found it extremely difficult to work with from the staffing side, as well as the registration side. It was NOT customizable and caused a lot of confusion with our delegates.

I have used other, smaller event management companies. They tend to be more hands-on, but have fewer "bells and whistles." Ultimately, we chose Cvent because we wanted a company that had already done what we were asking for as opposed to a company that had to figure out a way to do what we wanted.
