Onlive vs Run The World Comparison

The software is so easy so set up. Within days we were able to start taking transactions and selling tickets to our customers. The support team are fantastic and are always able to help when we need it.

More control over the look and feel of the programme and ticketing l would be appreciated but overall the solution they have provided has a very easy customer journey.

Our team were looking for a subscription-based event booking system that we could spin up with a tight deadline for a client. Out of the solutions we researched, Onlive was by the far had the best/useful features/functionality and was a much cheaper alternative than other platforms. We were impressed at how simplistic and streamline the CMS was to use, while providing a sleek site layout using modern page template layouts and components. It was great that the platform offered two payment gateways for users, provided flexibility in how simple or specific you could build out the form using the form builder as well as including a web app customised for the users/customers.

The only con was not having access to the front end code to have the ability to fully customise the site, however, this seems to be a standard practice across every other event booking systems to cover their support (they allowed a CSS file to be imported). This was the only minor thing which was not a concern/game changer for us.

The product was reasonably priced and offered most of the features we required. Staff were prompt with answers to questions and gave comprehensive information. There were several methods by which support could be sought. We have yet to "go live", so cannot comment on that aspect.

It did not allow us to "package" events in the way we initially wanted, but we have been flexible about this.

Easy to implement and setup. Customisable Solution. Managing the lists was easy. Communication to invitees was easy as well. One stop solution that integrate everything for an event in one place. Great team to work with. The people are helpful, friendly and is able to help to solve any issues.

More control over the look and feel of the application, but overall the solution was great

What grab my attention was the east of creating a video splash screen. After entering the back office, I was blown away with all the customization you have and the modern UI.

Once in a lifestream you cannot go back because you will be kicked from the session I have to re-login etc. to get back to the live stream. They did not offer a full white label because privacy settings are always going back to there website and there’s no way to redirect or turn this feature off.

Studio feature is included so this is great.

I like the easiest of UI, anyone that can make the product have all the features but yet do it in such a way that is easy for the user this is great. Onlive is good, but its a bit fiddly.

Website creation, analytic & invitation system

It would be good if the software can suggest local production houses to execute the event

Our team was looking for an online event video platform with sign up and communication functions that we have a very tight deadline. Among all the possible solutions we researched, Onlive had the most useful features esp. the robust email communication tools, comprehensive functionality and most customizable and ease to use frontend interface and backend system. And the pricing model is economical and reasonable. I am impressed by how simple and user-friendly of the CMS the platform that they have offered. The Onlive account servicing team is very agile, professional and detail-minded. We are happy and lucky to have them supporting our event and campaign. Onlive's solution contributes to the success of our project.

I think Onlive team can improve the reports display further.

It’s user friendly! There are many customizable options, but it’s guided enough to ensure I don’t accidents create something hideous (like creating a personal blog page). I can add other administrators to help me with content population too :)

Nothing! Maybe having a mobile optimized version of the reporting pages? But then again, I’m usually on my laptop in the office...

- Hybrid capabilities of virtual and in-person conferences - Collects fees with a low cost for doing so - It handles the registration website for you - Great analytics for attendees, sign-ups, etc - I like the studio they have for setting up speakers for success

Still growing company, so there are some workflows that could be simplified, or maybe not simplified as much as shortened? But alternatively, it's SUPER customizable and awesome.

Very smooth and clean interface, the check-in system that works flawlessly, the easy to set up app and website. The many insights we have found about our guests after starting to use onlive. It also integrates with our current analytics tools.

We don't have any complaints yet after using the system for several events.

Onlive does a great job at what it is meant to do! I live the ticketing system! For what I need it to do, it does it very well! The check-in system works fantastic and honestly the UI is easy to use!

Nothing! I have used it several times, but haven't found any issues!

the friendly user dashboard, ease of access

support, as for me i like realtime chat support

Very intuitive and easy to use. Takes 5 minutes to get familiar with the platform and start creating websites, registration forms and apps. Really like the curated experience that kick off the progress and its impossible to fail to build a beautiful site and yet it feels really robust.

I wish that you could get more features in the free version.

It’s ease, functionality and design blend well to make the overall experience seamless and super user friendly!

Some of the colors can make it hard to decipher

As an online business manager, I regularly hold live calls, webinars and virtual meetings as part of my work. With Onlive I can also do the payment processing for the registration. It's comfortable and easy to use, and you can easily switch between different devices.

The pricing plans are a bit confusing and difficult to understand.

The platform is very intuitively designed. I was able to find what I needed without much guidance. I love how quickly and easily I can set up registration websites I've also received great support from the team - helping to troubleshoot, customise solutions and answer all types of questions. The team is very responsive and accommodating.

There are a few small improvements can be made here and there. Hope to see them implemented soon in future product updates.

It's easy to setup and use. Powerful event management tools make it easy.

Haven't found any cons yet. So far I like everything about the system

One platform for all your digital needs, pretty balanced.

Need to improve on user experience both on the organiser and attendee side.

It is very easy to go live (streaming) with onlive - just a few clicks and I have been able to create a professional live streaming event... With a great landing page design With convenient registration website With a handy studio

I just think the Studio can have more features, such as captions, branding etc.

i like how we can customized the registration website, engagement app to our colour and background theme.

The streaming studio features are limited, interaction with speakers is not exactly friendly, only 1 way interaction.

Onlive is really easy to use and offer all the tools you need to make a conference or a virtual event at a reasonable price.

There is only few options for sponsoring in the events made with Onlive and I hope they will soon add much more.
