Pros

“The platform is an essential tool that keeps our event info and data centralized, helping improve organization, efficiency, and collaboration. While some workflows could be more streamlined, the overall functionality and reliability make it very valuable event management solution.”
KS

Kayla S.

Event Manager

“Cvent helps streamline processes, improve efficiency, and create a better experience for both organizers and attendees including all the event registration process.”
AB

Adriana B.

Strategic Relationship Officer

“I love how everything is all connected all the way from the speaker experience to the attendee registration so that way when you get to building the website and mobile app everything is done for you!”

Pros

“Activity Messenger has seamlessly integrated with our existing registration software and has plugged the existing holes we had with personalized communication as well as form and waiver management.”
CP

Cj P.

Gym Director

“It's a weird (in my opinion) two-step process but, it does work. And if you're running the same or similar types of classes anyway, it is very easy to duplicate classes and forms and then just edit them to update the data that you need to (dates, location, instructor, etc.).”
CD

Catherine D.

Member Services Manager & Finance

“We replaced both Mailchimp and Survey Monkey with Activity Messenger as well as continue to find new ways to utilize AM in our daily work.”

Cons

“At times, editing information can be time consuming because it requires navigating through multiple pages and clicks to make simple updates.”
KS

Kayla S.

Event Manager

“Additionally, I'd like to see some upgraded features when it comes to the email confirmation side - I can never truly see what my attendees are seeing unless I actually submit test registrations myself.”
AB

Allison B.

Corporate Events Specialist

“Sometimes it can be tricky to navigate the website manager in terms of different languages for the same site.”
SE

Sam E.

Event Coordinator

Cons

“One small criticism is the cost. Although I understand that quality services come at a price, sometimes I feel that the price may be a bit high for small businesses like mine.”

Raul A.

Graduate

“When we would like to permanently edit a workers information (phone number or email), we end up with the same employee twice.”
SB

Selina B.

Coordinator

“Some labels/feature names are confusing to understand at first glance.”
