There are only a handful or integrations, and customer service isn't helpful.

Membership Support Executive

Originally as Aventri and now joint with meetings play to make Stova, and since customer support hasn’t been fantastic and not sure of the direction it’s going in.

Does the job of getting someone signed and up info can be sent easy to let them know

Partner and sales associate

The reports helped us gain insights and improve our following events.

Aventri can really achieve whatever you need if you have an unlimited budget.

It is not a very user friendly site and is too complicated for simple events.

We did benefit from using this after hiring a more tech savvy employee who could use it somewhat well.

it was incredibly daunting getting this set up.

Marketing Operations Manager

Integration to Marketo was constantly breaking with no long term solutions from the support team despite the issue being consistent.

Difficulty with customer service, there were ghost bugs

Additionally, the ability to overwrite email addresses already in use (like if an assistant registered a speaker using their email address, and then registered themselves using the same email address) was difficult as it impacted Speaker Profiles and created churn on the backend. If it's not been implemented, I would strongly recommend a flag that does not allow two users to use the same email address on one event.

Event Manager

I know there was recently an update on that, but I have a hard time finding the information I need regarding mobile app statistics and who’s visiting what.

QA Analyst

Able to track down easily fundraising amounts after all the expenses paid for any events

Secretary

That I can't download all "tickets" into a report, as easily as we can export the data to a spreadsheet, which would be useful for billing/audit purposes.

It meets all our org requirements to streamline fundraising for any events.

Sometimes very tough to create any events and cannot create any events which will 6 months from present time

Senior Marketing Manager

I wish we could create tracking links within Bizzabo for outreach instead of us having to use UTMs that we create.

Technical Project Manager

The flexibility of designing the events is flawless and it supports responsive design which is an addition.

Marketing Programs Manager

Have had a lot of technical issues with live events - it seems that the success of an event is very heavily reliable on the quality of speaker's wifi/equipment.

When I used the platform, I was unable to create custom reports, which is important for my role.

Event Marketing Manager

The only Custom Element is still pretty restrictive and can be problematic when needing a more dynamic website for events.

Digital Designer

The tools for marketing and ticket sales may be where the real value lies, however, I don't have much experience using that part of the platform.
