Once you know how to use the platform, it is great to be able to take control of your own registration without having to depend on outsourced companies to make simple edits. Reporting and data continue to exist year after year so you can always go back and pull information with ease. The website pages you can create are so customizable. The options are endless and look fantastic!

Cvent works really well for our larger events/trips with multiple meeting tracks and additional details/price points needed. We do not use it for our smaller/simpler events, as those are typically just tracked through Salesforce. I do wish there was better compatibility with Salesforce and other CRMs. (We do use Cvent's Social Tables platform for almost everything!)

Cvent is great for collecting registration information and providing detailed information to your attendees for an event. It is easy to use for your attendees to register as well. The new website builder allows you to build up to date websites that look crisp and clean and are responsive so they look great on any type of device.

Cvent - Good for Large Event Management but Expensive as Registration Platform of Record

Cvent Event Management is good for larger events or group trips but gets very expensive when you are using it to track smaller gatherings such as board meetings. We'd like to have a registration platform of record and have everything flow into Salesforce but that is not something we will consider due to the cost per registrant. It is more worth our while to do certain things through Jotform and upload manually to avoid unnecessary cost.

The Cvent Event Management system is a great resource to use for event planning jobs. They have a great platform for housing all information needed to plan a successful event from start to finish. If I needed to recommend this to a colleague I definitely would. Cvent knows what they are doing in the event management industry.

Internal team meeting with a calendar invite does not need to go through Cvent Event Management, but if there are external attendees such as vendors or attendees outside of the organization, then Cvent should be used. It will allow the team managing the event to have all registrations in one place and be able to monitor all registrations and declines in one place.

Cvent is useful for meetings and events taking place in one location, one set of dates. Several of our internal clients have asked for a registration site that allows invitees to choose between different locations and dates (a series of educational trainings) but this has not been possible. We have found Cvent helpful in managing session registration for some of our larger programs, though the session selection page and reporting options are limited. The system's ability to set session capacity limits, limit session registration to certain registration types, and prevent attendees from selecting the same session in different time slots or overlapping sessions, has been very helpful.

It is best suited for event management, registration process for events, and email marketing. Our organization will never go back to the way we were handling our events before using Cvent platforms. If you want to save on staff time, have an easier event set up, and onsite registration, this is the answer to all your problems.

Cvent Event Management is great for registration for events. There are lots of different features that you can incorporate into your registration. With incentive trips, we don't use as many features as you would for a conference, etc. but it is great to use. It is easily customizable to fit the needs of your event.

Cvent Event Management is well suited if you are looking to organize events with a group of people, large or small. It is easy to use and understand, and it allows individuals to share their personal schedules and come up with a time that works for everyone, rather than having to email to call back and forth.

The reporting feature and integrations with invitation lists and emails take a lot of the hassle out of event management. You can pull a report on any information you might need. This helps in so many ways, from being able to quickly see who still owes their registration fees, to who abandoned their registration at what point, and who needs a special meal.

It is well suited in the hotel industry, as it has an abundance of hotel info, as well as surrounding venue info. Its interactive map and radius-searching capabilities allow us a very quick way to find the closest hotels to certain areas. Using Cvent is less appropriate for a small event when we only have 1 hotel in mind, but is certainly a preferred tool for events with multiple hotels.

Cvent Event Management is well suited to handling large events with complex registration processes (multiple types of registrants, parallel tracks, extra fees for specific sessions, etc). Its websites and email templates are decent, if not fantastic. The new Flex websites are finally more mobile friendly.
The learning curve is pretty steep, and some features obscure enough to require frequent calls/chats with customer service, but their customer service is quite good. Planners in charge of small or simple events might prefer Eventbrite or other more straightforward ticketing systems.

Appropriate for companies needing a registration management system capable of handling basic and complex events and conferences, as well as appropriate for companies looking to utilize a system for RFPs, appointments, survey functionality, and great integrations with CRMs, among other programs. Not appropriate for anyone not willing to learn the product.

If your company is doing registration or events, I recommend the platform for ease of organization. When there is a hub for your data and information to be stored consistently, it will take you from an "excel era" to an era that the business can excel in.

  • Cvent Event Management is well suited for any event that requires a site to be built. You can customize each registration to a path and add specifics for each person to build a professional interface. It's easy for registration and attendee management. Any large conferences or conventions it is well suited for. It's data reporting, and cost tracking is wonderful and makes the process a breeze. It's proactive with a lot of technology and user-friendly. Cvent also features an easily accessible support team.
  • It's not appropriate for events where it's a small number of guests with an event that isn't highly involved. Cvent works better with bigger events.

It is well suited for large scale as well as small scale events. If you are dealing with hotel accommodations, transfer and flights, you still have to pull reports and manually book them with vendors.
