Cvent Social Tables has been widely used by event planners and designers looking to accurately design and visualize the space needed for their events. With its user-friendly interface and accurate dimensions, users have utilized the software to check layouts, arrange buffet tables, sponsor booths, and more before their events. It has proven especially valuable in situations where social distancing is required, as it allows event planners to create visual seating plans and layouts that adhere to health and safety guidelines. The program facilitates seamless organization of event floor plans across departments, making diagramming and layout tasks much easier. Not only does it save time by eliminating manual seating chart processes for large events, but it also improves communication with attendees through features such as exporting reports and importing data to CRM systems. By providing professional diagrams and allowing control over room layouts, Cvent Social Tables eliminates the need for outsourcing and offers a more convenient alternative to other programs. It has become a preferred choice for event planners, hotel contacts, third-party planning companies, and vendors alike due to its ability to streamline event planning processes and improve the overall attendee experience.

Rich Features: Numerous users appreciated the well-developed features of the software. They stated that the developers clearly understand event planning and conference centers. Many reviewers liked the rich inventory of equipment and features that can be added to floor plans, as well as the tools provided to communicate and track space needs. Some users felt that this extensive range of features set this software apart from others in the market.

Seamless Collaboration: The collaboration feature is one of the favorite aspects of this software for many users. They find it easy to work with meeting planners and show them changes in real-time. This collaborative aspect enhances communication efficiency between teams, making event planning a smoother process overall.

Cons:

  1. Limited customization options: Some users have expressed frustration with the inability to customize standard equipment features, such as setting a standard podium size. Additionally, they have mentioned the lack of a note feature for updated layouts being emailed back and forth.
  2. Integration and compatibility issues: Several reviewers have mentioned difficulties in integrating with other events platforms like EMS and suggested automatic linking of maps to Reservations in booking software. Furthermore, some users have found the software's integration with CVENT's platform to be convoluted.
  3. User interface and performance concerns: Users have reported that the support provided by Social Tables is subpar. They also noted occasional lagging of the software, which could be attributed either to their internet connection or the program itself. In addition, there were mentions of freezing or errors occurring while using the software, along with slower response times on mobile devices.

Users commonly recommend the following actions when using Social Tables:

  1. Try out the software for free and upgrade for more features. Users suggest taking advantage of the free trial period to get a feel for the software's capabilities before deciding to upgrade for additional features.

  2. Utilize demo and try with own space and furniture. It is highly recommended to request a demonstration of the software and try it with your own venue space and furniture to assess its suitability and ease of use.

  3. Combine with other event management tools. Users advise combining Social Tables with another event management tool for a more comprehensive event planning experience. They specifically mention using it in conjunction with Social Tables for improved diagrams and layouts.

These recommendations indicate that users find value in trying out the software, utilizing demos, and integrating it with other tools to enhance their event planning capabilities.

When it came to supporting and guidance, Cvent Social Table's support team was on top of providing excellent customer service. They wanted to make sure you used the program to the best of its ability. We had several virtual meetings to show us new tools and answer questions. They were always an email away.

The support was exceptional, and they remained an arm's reach away for when we ran into any questions after we began using the tool. Overall, we experienced phenomenal customer service. We also had more than one web-based call where their team would walk us through examples and answer any questions we had.

I would honestly give it a solid ten if I could make a few small tweaks to the software itself and if I had a mobile/tablet app for my Event Services team to be able to create and edit diagrams when on the go with clients. Otherwise, it is an excellent choice for creating event set-up diagrams.

Their support is terrible. It used to be great to where you would get on, and it was like you were speaking to an actual person. Now, it seems you are getting auto-responses that sometimes have absolutely nothing to do with the question you asked. It could use a lot of improvement.

Our rep is very helpful when we have questions and needs. However, in the instance that we've come across issues in the past in development, we have, on occasion, had a hard time connecting with support. However, since Cvent acquired Social Tables, we've seen a surge in customer service and had no issues since the acquisition.

Since Cvent Social Tables is very user friendly, I have only needed support a few times. When I have needed help, I have always gotten responses very quickly. Having been a user for a few years, I see that Social Tables is constantly trying to update the platform based on user feedback.
