Cvent Event Management Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

I love the quick support that Cvent supplies. Their support staff is quick to respond and extremely helpful. I also love the updated format of the event sites, they look much more modern and that helps with our sale to clients to use this software.

The least appealing part of Cvent is how many different places you have to update some information on the backend for it to show up correctly on the user side. This can be quite the hassle and time waste if you are trying to update one small detail and then have to update it in multiple locations on the backend.

Crowd Compass is a sister company to Cvent which many of our clients use, so it's a no brainer that this a go-to event app if you're already using Cvent for registration (other)

There is a lot of options and customizations possibilities within this app, which is a good thing. However, navigating between the "container" and the "event" can become confusing and takes some time to learn how to navigate.

I like that their annual conference is a lot of fun!

Everything we want is always an additional cost - only the bare bones are included. Pricing is the highest in the industry. Customer service reps don't speak English as their primary language. Options are so complex, it's extremely clunky and hard to make function like you intend. There are only a few ugly website templates to choose from. They even charge for additional users. The contacts are difficult to manage. There are no real options for vendor hall maps within the system. You can't view sessions in a grid view (or any alternative views, for that matter), so for a conference with over 100 breakouts, it's horrendous looking. If you want your conference in an app, you'll pay up the wazoo PER EVENT. I could continue all day long with dislikes.

I love Cvent and can't say enough good things about it. We present live, virtual, and hybrid events using the Attendee Hub. We use it to market and promote events, collect attendee registration, speaker and vendor documentation, video streaming, and on-demand catalogue. In addition, we are able to generate easy and professional reports to share with staff and stakeholders. Attendees have reported very positive experiences and our events look very professional. It has also helped with planner efficiency.

There is not much that I don't like, but there is a bit of a training curve that has at times been a barrier for new users. Cvent provides robust training resources to assist with training.

I felt more confident after 3 months of using Cvent than in 3 years of using our previous platform. The onboarding was extremely thorough and it was a great experience for our team. Flex is a great addition to the product - super easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.

I wish CrowdCompass was a bit more customizable, but overall its still a fantastic product.
