Overall Satisfaction with Social Tables
We utilize Social Tables on-site at your building, which is used frequently to host meetings with different, unique room designs and set-ups. In addition, we host many off-site meetings in convention centers, hotels, special event venues, etc. and Social Tables allows us to provide our requirements visually and share the details with stakeholders. So far, I enjoy using the software because it has many time-saving features, such as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste the same icons/objects. I enjoy the PDF booklet feature, that allows me to share all of my floor plans in one file. I would not consider myself a "super user", but will continue to learn the capabilities of the software.
- Seating charts
- Floor plans
- Time savings and no paper use
- Entering text on floor plans for specific notes is limited to one type of text. It would be nice to have additional fonts to highlight/differentiate.
- Need for additional objects, like double-sided poster boards.
- More venues and hotels need to upload their floor plans.
- Saves staff time.
- Better communication between planners and suppliers.
- Allows for creativity with room designs.
In all honesty, I think of Social Tables when creating floor plans and room designs. In my opinion, it is the industry leader. If you work with general contractors/decorators, they can provide you with CAD drawings, but you are relying on someone else and at the mercy of their schedule. It will be interesting to see what new advances emerge once Social Tables is integrated into Cvent's software suite.
