Overall Satisfaction with Bizly Webapp
Managing the user groups globally came with several challenges, not the least of which was sourcing, contracting, and keeping track of venues and restaurants wherein these meetings were held. On average and at any given time, I was handling logistics for 5 - 10 user groups. After spending a nearly two years managing the program and keeping track of all the fine details on either an excel sheet or word doc, I started looking for alternatives in hopes of keeping my head above water.
I first looked to Cvent as I'd utilized their offerings before and was familiar with their platform. However, I soon found that I needed a more automated experience or at the very least something that offered some semblance of having a team under me. Bizly came across my desk and I must say I was impressed. Partnering with Bizly immediately relieved much of what was on my plate and allowed me to focus on more strategic aspects of the program. Their concierge service was very much like working with a full team - something we lacked. We quickly saw adoption across our field marketing and sales teams as they worked to source meeting space for their events, campaigns, lunches, etc.

- Sourcing unique location ideas for events
- Managing numerous bookings on one platform
- Slow response rate at times (concierge service)
- No international presence at the time of use
- Reduced sourcing time
- Saved research time in looking for locations
Bizly's concierge service was the differentiator here. The ability to simply send a message to the concierge team with a date, area, headcount, etc. and have them respond with several options was a godsend on numerous occasions.
