Cvent event management is great for organizations that need a solution to manage their events from end to end. It is great for creating registration workflows, managing multiple sessions, making a crisp clean user experience that is easy to understand and navigate during sign up / registration, and then receiving confirmation e-mails, reminders, and so on. It works well for reports and surveys too.

I enjoy the platform being able to do everything in one place. This includes registration, emailing customers, getting essential feedback from the events, sending post event emails, creating the app for the attendees, etc. It has everything an event needs to be successful. I cannot think of a time where cvent would not be needed. Every event needs cvent.

Cvent Event Management is well suited for a large event where you are collecting fees. It would also be suited for an event with multiple sessions, for example a conference, convention, or trade show. It is less appropriate for a seminar type setting.

Cvent is good for managing traditional events meeting at a single place. However, it falls short when attempting to track flights beyond a round trip or two single way flights.

Cvent event management is for anyone looking for an extra helping hand in their event space. It’s a one stop shop for all your attendee needs. Payment, hotel logistics, specific event questions are all able to be asked within one platform. Emails and reporting make managing your attendees seem less.

I think it is suited for less complex and more complex programs. It all depends on what the client wants, but to this day we have not had major issues even with our most complex clients.

Cvent Event Management is very well suited to support all sized events, but particularly suited for medium to large scale events. For smaller events such as one hour webinars for example, it may be better to look at other registration methods as it may not be time efficient to set up a new event for a very simple event set up.

Cvent Event Management is well suited for in person and digital events, and they are increasingly improving the platform to be more useful for all situations I would not recommend for organizations with strict budgets, as Cvent Event Management does come with a big price tag

Cvent Event Management is perfect for medium-sized conference registration. They have thought of every details for event management to create a seamless planning experience. I am very excited to use it next year since all we have to do is copy the event and then all of our setup is already there! I don't think I would recommend this for internal meetings or meetings where registration is free.

Cvent is well suited from large events to smaller ones. From 50 to over 1000 attendees, the tool is robust enough to handle the traffic. Also the ability to add speakers (and bios), sessions, agenda, but also to create group or bundle sessions, it makes cvent event management a great tool to use.

For the cost bigger events are more suited for the platform. We use them for our large conferences where we have over 200 attendees and breakout sessions. We’re able to track attendance of who came but also who attended what sessions. If you have smaller events I don’t see the purpose for Cvent.

Cvent is used for our company's national sales meeting and provides tools to keep the meeting running smoothly especially registration. We have small training events at our home office which don't require the use of Cvent.

Cvent Event Management is suitable for all events, as it has positively complex customizations that you can do so much! It has helped us streamline many processes and resources and lower costs (both hard and soft). The customer service/client success team is also top notch and there hasn't been a problem they couldn't solve.

It is well suited for event registration, sourcing, abstract submissions, and meeting management. They are currently updating these areas for the upcoming FLEX release, however, it would be hard to recommend Cvent for membership management due to the lack of updates that have been done to the module or the clear lack of willingness to do so.

As I mentioned in my first comments, Cvent is most useful for large, scalable, complex events that are multiple days long and incorporate many different types of guests, experiences, and speakers. The onsite technology is second to none. I do wish that there were more features included in the enterprise solution, such as PassKey.

Cvent Event Management works well with all of our meetings. Our planners can copy events or start new ones from scratch. Setup is easy and the websites look professional. The app for the in-person attendees is professional and keeps growing in features.

Well suited for reporting purposes, ease in site building. Great tech help and customer service. The cost is high, but we are able to accomplish a lot in a much shorter period of time. We are in process of doing a Salesforce integration, and very much look forward to using it in that capacity.

When starting with Cvent we had a lot of redundant procedures in trying to update information across multiple platforms. We used different systems for Registration, Exhibitor Management, Event Apps, onsite services, and Speaker Management. With Cvent, we've been able to drastically cut down on the redundancy since their system features all of these programs allowing us to focus more time and efforts elsewhere.

Cvent is a pricey software, so it might not be appropriate for a small, one-off event. But if you are looking at tracking metrics for year-over-year events, or have an event with complex registration (multiple types of registrations or admissions, different registration elements for different people, etc.) Cvent is a fantastic choice to manage these types of scenarios and worth the investment.

For high volume or large events, Cvent Event Management is a huge game changer! The ability to gather and track information and attendees simplifies the entire event experience. For smaller events with limited features, Cvent may not be worth the price point for just a single event.

Cvent Event Management is well suited as a place to keep all of your event needs in one place. However, some of these functions are not as user-friendly as others. Most recently we've been having issues with attendees using the app onsite. While it is a great concept we often have to ask them to delete and redownload because of issues with not finding the event, or not pulling up the schedule.

It is well suited for in person events - tracking the registrations beforehand and then when the event is happening checking people in, printing their name badges (that attendees can double check for any changes) and using those name badges for processing leads with the Lead Capture app.
