Overall usability of cvent is a positive experience. We continue to return to this product not only for our annual sales meeting but for smaller events throughout the year as well. The reporting structure is useful to pull information about arrival times, dietary restrictions, and much more. Having these details helps our planning committee throughout theirprocess.

I am a user for over 15 years and while they say anyone can use Cvent, you need to have a basic understanding of website management or technology in general to easily understand the system.

Once it is set up and you have templates, it is super easy to set up and copy old events. It gets a little tricky with registration types for our organization because we have so many different "types" to manage.

Cvent has a LOT of features and functionality. The "drag-and-drop" builder platform makes it easy to create web pages and the basic registration site, but as you add more features, such as additional registration paths, travel options, multi-attendee discounts, etc., the different settings required, sometimes in multiple areas, add to the complexity. Fortunately, there is plenty of online documentation available to help navigate that.

Overall, Cvent Event Management is a highly usable platform, with a user-friendly interface and a wide range of features and tools to help plan, promote, and manage events. The platform is designed to be intuitive, allowing users to easily navigate and access the various features and functionalities.
One of the key benefits of Cvent Event Management's usability is its high level of customization. The platform offers a range of customization options, allowing users to tailor the platform to their specific needs and branding. This can include custom registration forms, event websites, email communications, and more.
Additionally, Cvent Event Management provides robust data analytics and reporting, enabling users to gain insights into attendee behavior, event performance, and ROI. The platform also offers real-time reporting, which can be particularly useful during an event, allowing organizers to monitor attendance and event progress.
While there may be a learning curve for some of the more advanced features, overall, the platform is highly usable and intuitive and we have had positive experiences with the platform's usability, citing its ease of use, customization options, and comprehensive feature set as key benefits.

It does take some time to learn the system and the help articles are not always up to date, but it is also fairly intuitive and once you learn the basics, you can do very complex things without having to learn complex procedures.

There are a lot of different ways to do one task within Cvent which can be confusing. Additionally, there are a few things that you can only do at set up of an event and if you forget to do them your event registration will not run as well.

Cvent is incredibly robust and can do so much, but learning to use the program can take a bit. It becomes intuitive as you learn the system, but getting started can come with a decent learning curve. Cvent offsets this by offering free trainings on their platform, but it would be nice to be able to hit the ground running instead of needing to learn the ins and outs of the system.

I think the platform is really user friendly, but some people might find it a bit loaded. There are a lot of options, a lot of tabs, a lot of features, but everything was built logically with the customers' and the planners' needs in mind.

No technical knowledge needed in order to use it or feel comfortable. Their new 'flex' interface allows people to pick up the tool relatively quickly and doesn't require someone to use the tool constantly to know what they are doing—if they don't use it for a few months, it's not an issue. The integrations offered with the CrowdCompass app have been a huge benefit to us.

I started using Cvent about 6 months again and it has been a wonderful experience. The onboarding was seamless. Our needs are different than their typical client, but our onboarding specialist really helped us to navigate how to best use the system for our specific requirements. Flex events are super intuitive and easy to create - it's a simple drag and drop. I saved hours and hours of work compared to how we used to use events. In addition, the email features allow us to simply send to different groups of people with a click of the button, something that was less simple in our previous platform. I could go on and on about how much this platform has helped us!
