Cvent Surveys is a versatile tool that serves multiple use cases across various departments. Users within the company, such as the IT department, utilize Cvent to create and distribute surveys, while also providing training and consultation to other teams. The reporting feature of Cvent allows the reporting team to generate insightful metrics for evaluation purposes. Integrations with CRM systems through APIs enable seamless data acquisition and survey distribution. This functionality proves helpful for the Quality Assurance team in evaluating Voice of the Customer responses for business improvements and enhancing customer satisfaction.

In addition, Cvent plays a crucial role in event management and customer feedback collection. Event coordinators and the product development team utilize Inquisium, a component of Cvent, to capture data about customer experiences during events and training sessions. The reports tool in Inquisium further aids in improving future events and training sessions based on the collected data. Moreover, Cvent's event website creation, email campaigns, pre-generated templates, sign-ups, follow-ups, alerts, and quick landing page creation features streamline event management processes.

Cvent also serves as a Case Management System, enabling tracking and reporting of metrics on a weekly basis. The application of Cvent extends beyond internal use as it is used as a client-facing survey tool by departments like HR and marketing. HR uses it to gauge interest in events and host company forms, while the marketing department relies on Cvent to determine customer satisfaction and capture the voice of customers through various surveys.

For organizations like Transplace, Cvent integrates with Salesforce for customized data collection during major surveys. Furthermore, Inquisium is instrumental in gathering post-event feedback surveys and facilitating pre-registration approval tracking.

Users consistently mention that they receive timely assistance and resolution to their questions or issues when reaching out to Cvent support via phone or email.

Cvent surveys are most often used after an event or meeting to collect post event feedback. Sometimes it is used in advance of a meeting or event to collect data that we need to assist with planning, such as best dates or locations. Surveys are also used in the middle of planning at times, to help with quick information that we need to collect.
  • Easy to use
  • Easy to customize
  • Many options
  • Easy for the users
  • Easy to run reports
  • Reporting can be a little frustrating at times
  • It's another separate product to add on to Cvent - so an additional fee
  • Data doesn't connect directly to a person or event, which would be a helpful feature
Cvent surveys are great for collecting any kind of information from a group of attendees. It is most often used for general surveys in our organization, but you can really use it for a large variety of things. You can ask open ended questions or multiple choice, so the ability to customize leaves it open for more uses.

  • Product is another add on, which can be a difficult expense to sell
  • Many other products are available
  • Clients want to use their own service or emails instead due to cost
I think Cvent surveys feel more secure. It is also a program that we are likely using for the event or meeting already, so it's nice to just use the same program for both things. Cvent surveys are an additional expense which isn't always ideal and can be a hard sell in comparison to other programs or just utilizing email.

We utilize Cvent Surveys by taking polls, forms, complex registrations for VIP registrations and quick surveys post registration to building events. All surveys we send out help us to build a better and more user-friendly registration, it also gives the build of the event some insight into the wants and needs of the audience.
  • Surveys
  • Registrations
  • Post event build data
  • More levels of sub questions
Cvent Surveys is well suited for gathering post-event data from the audience. It has easy reporting and gives information from the audience that we would not normally have without speaking to each potential attendee separately. The program also allows us to collect data on flight information using sub questions for attendees.

  • Made it easy to collect data from potential attendees to build better registrations
  • Quick and easy way to collect data for information
Cvent survey does exactly what we need it to. There is no reason to look at other products. That effort can be used elsewhere. Information that is kept within the same program makes it easier to compare data across the board and certain functions will not have to be repeated from the foundation since most of the information will flow into other programs within Cvent and we won't have to type all the information over again. It saves time, which is not what a lot of people have.
This program is so versatile to be able to do whatever is needed. There isn't a time that I have built a survey that hasn't done exactly what is needed. No matter how complicated the questions are, the data that is put out is easy for leadership to read and understand. That is what is needed. They shouldn't have to go through complex data and spend a lot of time trying to analyze it.
Cvent is quick to reply and answer any questions I might have, as well as suggest information I was not aware of or help with elements of the survey that I did not understand. They are always helpful and polite, no matter how long it takes to get something done.

Our company uses Cvent Surveys to gather information from our attendees for breakout sessions in order to give feedback to the speakers and make sure the information we are teaching is relevant. Before Cvent Surveys, we had to manually gather what people wrote and input it in an excel document. Now, all I have to do is select which survey I want and it organizes it in a document perfectly. It’s very convenient and saves me and my team a lot of time on prepping surveys for our marketing team.
  • Organizes feedback into 1 document.
  • Allows different surveys to be pulled, such as main session surveys and breakout session surveys.
  • Gives additional data, such as graphs on attendance per session.
  • It was a little tough to find the correct survey report to print. Maybe make them a sub category at the top that has the breakdown for each type of survey.
  • Having the option to automatically pop up surveys after a session, but also allow people to click into too.
  • Giving incentives to filling out surveys. Feedback is key to have.
Our company needs surveys to give feedback to our speakers. Cvent Surveys allows attendees to give honest and accurate feedback on the spot after a session ends. It is easier to collect the data, send it to our marketing team, and have them send the feedback to each speaker so they know their strengths but also what needs to be worked on.

  • Significant increase in attendee survey completion.
  • Increase in general survey completion.
  • Decrease time to pull surveys and send out so I can have more time in my day.
The product is easy to setup and use! It allows attendees to fill out their surveys as soon as the session is completed, which gives us instant feedback. The reports are east to pull and I can send our reports out within minutes versus hours of manual input. I would definitely recommend this product if you’re looking for feedback after an event.
I have not needed to contact support before for this feature in Cvent. The support team for other features have been great though, so I will provide an answer for that. Cvent is on point with their customer care. They’re prompt and make sure the issue is fixed. They will also follow up with you to make sure everything is still working smoothly or if any additional help is needed.

We use Inquisium for several purposes including: post event feedback surveys, data collection for items that we forgot to collect during registration, and as a sort of pre-registration/approval tracking form used in conjunction with the event websites housed on the event management tool.
  • Variety of question types
  • Ability to have anonymous or known surveys
  • Work in conjunction with other Cvent platforms
  • The design portion for the look and feel of the site is not as navigable or customizable as would be ideal.
  • Needs more levels of subquestions. Currently can only do 1, or if you're crafty with logic 2.
Especially great when you need survey capability in conjunction with their event platform. Though the design portion isn't totally customizable, it has a lot more customizability than for example using SurveyMonkey for free.

  • Ability to survey attendees on what went well and what didn't in order to improve events
  • Ability to use reporting to analyze data
  • Ability to use it as a pre-registration tool to help us control attendee bases for our events.
I've only ever used SurveyMonkey other than Inquisium, and it was just a free version. This has much more versatility than that.

Inquisium is used by our event coordinators and product development team. We administer the surveys after our training events to capture data about the experience customers have during our events. We also use the reports tool in Inquisum to improve our events and training. Our product development team uses it to make changes to our training.
  • Survey Emails
  • Surveys are easy to build
  • Surveys look good even from the templates
  • Surveys are easy to report on
  • Surveys are easy to preview
  • The diversity of questions is great
  • Page break feature is intuitive
  • Not easy to send test emails
  • Sometimes the auto send feature does not send
  • The categories for attendee status is a little confusing as it is not clear whether the status pulls from the event status or the survey status.
Inquisium is great when you have a large list of attendees that you need to send survey invitations to. And then sending reminders to those that have not responded. It is also great for making survey templates for multiple events of the same type. We can grab the information easily for each event and compare between multiple events.

  • We know what to change in our events
  • We are able to ask better questions and use the answers to make changes
  • We can track the performance of our Trainers to see what needs to be improved
Inquisium suits our business needs. Live Cvent is easy to use and the customer support is top notch. I've used the other products but Cvent was easy to train our entire team to use because we already used Cvent. While it may not be the most robust tool in terms of style it does function well.
