Overall Satisfaction with RegOnline
We are using RegOnline for our SafetyFestMT events. We hold these events 4 times a year and have between 200 and 800 attendees depending on the location. These are multi-track events that last 3 to 4 days. Our Bureau is the only Bureau that uses RegOnline, other Divisions within the Department use RegFox.
- RegOnline is really good at organizing multi-track events. The features help prevent participants from signing up for two tracks that run at the same time.
- The reports allow you to get a quick overview of your event. You can see which break out sessions are the most popular, and you can get a breakdown of participants in each class if you need to go into that detail.
- You can customize questions so that you can capture other data during the registration process. We use it to capture the type of industry, business size and whether or not participants have attended other events.
- One of the areas that RegOnline could improve on is the price. Because of the expense $3.55 per registration, the Department is unable to use the software for other events. We have mine training classes that we couldn't use RegOnline for because of the expense.
- RegOnline was not able to directly deposit registration fees collected from participants for other events and as a result we are unable to use it for those events.
- As far as making it easy for people to register, it the ROI has been huge. It is rare that we run into issues and when we do, it's easy for me to fix them on my end.
- The negative impact has been the cost. Our events are free to attend for participants, which means registration is the second biggest cost next to catering.
The Department also uses RegFox for training events as well as conferences. One of the main reasons they use RegFox is because of the price, it only charges $0.99 per registration whereas RegOnline charges $3.55 per registration. Because we are a state agency, that can make a big difference to our budget. That being said it is easier to build multi-track events in RegOnline.
