Overall, we LOVE using RedPodium for our ride registration.
Our small non-profit organization hosts a number of bike rides throughout the year, and RedPodium is an easy way for us to run our ride registration. The software is intuitive on the back end. It's easy to set up the registration pages to collect any kind of information we may want to collect from our riders, from shirt size to experience level to demographic information to offering them additional...
We enter a LOT of coupon codes for each ride because members to our organization get a discount on the rides. The Global Coupon Code function would allow us to only enter the codes once, but some rides have a higher level of discount, and once you enter the code (their member number) as a Global Code, it can't be added as a code to an individual ride. We end up having to enter the codes (about 2,000 of them) into each ride (about 30 a year), which is time consuming. The coupon code function is great, but I don't think it was intended to be used at the scale we use it.

This was our 5th or 6th (I'm glad to forget) registration platform we've on-boarded for our sports series. With all others, one had to on-board the software to realize the short-comings. On-boarding with the others was cumbersome and took weeks. All others were fraught with hidden problems on on-going issues. Support was an issue with most. Our team on-boarded Red Podium in a few hours.... including building out all our membership and event registrations. The support team has been phenomenal!
It is simple and easy to set up, but the most impressive part of the experience has been the timely support.
Can't think of anything. This solution handles registrations and their associated financial very well.

We use Red Podium to handle our registration for events large and small, including tracking our volunteers. Reporting tools are excellent and easy to use. Web site is easy and fast.
I was a long-time Active.com user, and Red Podium is MUCH better. Here's why: Lower cost to me. (No mandatory fee, and lower per-transaction fees). Great customer support. Quick payment. I get paid every day. For a small business like ours, that's important! Much better than the twice-a-month payment most other companies offer. Easy to use. (Yeah, all this stuff is a pain the first time you try it, but once you get the hang...) AND... Red Podium doesn't poke around in my business! Active.com was always trying to sell stuff to my customers, sending them emails that they didn't ask for, even promoting competing events on my registration page. I would definitely recommend Red Podium to other.
My only complaint is that there used to be phone support available immediately during business hours. They have switched this to chat support, and there is often a delay before they get back. Having said that, the response time is SUPER good. None of this "back at you in three days" stuff. It's usually within minutes. If you have a complicated question you can always schedule a phone call session. The support staff is superb -- friendly and smart.

Its user-friendly interface and analytics tools make it easy to track registration data and optimize the registration process. While its pricing may not be feasible for everyone, overall, RedPodium seems to be a valuable tool for improving the event registration experience and enhancing the overall success of events.
RedPodium allows event organizers to create personalized registration forms with ease, tailored to their specific needs. It also offers a user-friendly interface and powerful analytics tools to monitor registration data in real-time. Overall, RedPodium seems to be a valuable tool for improving the registration experience for both organizers and attendees.
RedPodium offers a range of features and customization options, its pricing may not be feasible for smaller organizations or individuals. Additionally, some users have reported that the interface can be clunky or difficult to navigate. However, these potential drawbacks are minor compared to the benefits of RedPodium's registration capabilities.

We use RedPodium for our event registration, which requires large group registration. The admin side is great for helping our constituents when they have issues or questions. The reporting is fantastic and very helpful.
The software is intuitive and quite user-friendly. Lots of functionality and can be customized for event-specific needs.
Occasional "glitches" in our very complex site, but the RedPodium team is always right there to help!

In just a few years, our registration sell out pace has went from months with our previous registration provider to just a few weeks the first year we moved to Red Podium, to a few days in our second year, and for 2020 we just sold out our entire 5-race series in a matter of hours! Now that's performance!
Red Podium is MADE for event promoters! The platform is solid with robust features and a DREAM TEAM for support! It's so easy to setup and super intuitive to use, with super helpful and friendly folks to connect with if you do need help. The pricing is better than any competitor, though when you consider the level of service, support and event pages that SHINE, you won't find a better competitor out there!
This is more advice than criticism - there are a LOT of great features on the Red Podium platform. Your investment of time to learn what's available will pay off when you apply the tools that best serve your audience. This isn't a boxed registration system, it's a fully customized registration portal, it looks oh-so pretty, but it's a WORKHORSE in disguise!

We use Red Podium as registration platform for our benefit bike ride. This is our second year and we've found support to be excellent. Response is personal and always timely. The few times we've stumped staff with questions they've gotten back to us with answers quickly. We're happy campers. Thanks
Once you've used it it's pretty easy.
Until you've used it with some regularity it's not so intuitive on first pass. Help menu and videos I guess are built to address this but I'm a one and done type and not so inclined to refer to off site instructions.

Red Podium features the ability to customize the look and feel of the registration form and just about every aspect of the registration process.
I am waiting for more advance marketing features in future software updates.

Its been great, I highly recommend the product for people running events.
I like that the site is easy to use and easy to customize your registration page. I also like the the devolvement team is open to ideas and suggestion.
Company is very receptive to suggestions, it does have the ability to create credentials for participants, I'd love to see this built up more, as it is very basic right now for creating credentials for participants.

I am not tech savvy, and was very intimidated by needing to create a website for our fundraising 5k race. RedPodium made things a breeze, and when I got stuck, customer service was beyond excellent. I was surprised that even when things were confused on my end or it was a “silly question” they were not any less helpful than the difficult questions. They are in a vastly different time zone than I am, but were always on top of things, I never needed to wait long. They also had every functionality I could want for our website, and more! If the time comes for me to need to create another in the future, I will be coming to RedPodium first!
No complaints!

Red podium makes registration easy for athletic events. For fundraisers or school events, this will make the design, creation, and managing of responses simple. The instant chat support is also a great feature!
Unfortunately, webconnex has a similar product, regfox, and it is difficult to discern the differences or the incentives to using two different softwares.

The ability to check in volunteers to an event we had.
Basic page was easy to set up. It offers more extensive features that we were able to add as well which help customized our page for our needs.
Wish it had a check-out feature. We could check people in but it would have been handy to be able to check people out.

We are able to better anticipate registration numbers, accurately order food and supplies for race day, and get the right number of T-shirts. Since the ride proceeds are all donated to local charities, we have been able to significantly cut costs so more of the money raised goes straight back into the community. Red Podium's ease of use and customer service team's help is making a real difference in the lives of people in our small town.
The software is easy to use. I'm not a computer expert, but it was so simple to set up. We have used Red Podium for several years now because of the ease of use.
No complaints over here. We've been very pleased.

RedPodium has been an eye opener for me. Now when I go to personally register for other bike events/races I do, who are using Active or others, it really makes me wonder is my information safe...will my inbox be spam free. With this solution we've been able to brand our race Over the Hump Mountain Bike Race Series with our own logo, design elements, offers, and confirmations...while we own the information....

Ease of use and peace of mind
The intuitive nature:) Once I got the lay of the land, I could plug and play. The software allowed me to funnel participants where I wanted them to go.
I was unfamiliar with the software initially so there was a learning curve. As with in your system, one has to find their way around and click take everything in. I wouldn't say that, I would just say it is new to me .

From set-up to after-event reporting, RedPodium is effective, efficient and provides live customer support so that we could become more self reliant.
There are many things that I appreciate in RedPodium. If I had to pick one...the RedPodium customer support is amazing! There are a variety of ways that I have received quick and effective support - articles, videos, live chats and scheduled phone calls.
I would have liked the ability to change the graphic on the Social Proof. Since that was not possible, I chose not to use a feature that I was very excited about.

Red Podium is fully customizable to meet the needs of any event host. The drag and drop functionality makes for easy display customization and the live chat customer service is a huge bonus!
Webconnex has an extremely similar product called regfox. I have not quite figured out when is most appropriate to utilize the different softwares.

We had been trying to use our chamber software for race events and there are too many customized fields for it to be easy to use for the end user. This software makes it easy for us to set up and creates a better user experience.
The ease of customizing events; the templates are easy to change, add and delete fields based on event needs. It is also easy to make changes on the fly as things come up and republish.
photos and overlays are a little hard to work with for the first time user but the customer service makes up for it... Would say don't struggle trying to figure it out too much..use the help button!

We are taking on registration on our own instead of paying for a costly service. This saves us money and lets us raise more to help youth in Sacramento succeed.
We are able to help our registrations become fundraisers with the integration with GroupRev.
Setting-up Facebook pixel and tracking can be a little difficult.
