What do you like best about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

I love how all of the tools interact seamlessly. I use the event management tool for my event website and online registration. I also use OnArrival which provides a fast, elegant check-in experience for my attendees. I use the lead tracking program and SocialWall. It is a complete package and it all works so well together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

The web and registration content builders are a bit complex unless you use them often. That said, help is only a phone call or email away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cvent Event Marketing & Management:

This company has wonderful people to help. I think they are the innovators and leaders in the marketplace and will continue to hold that position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cvent Event Marketing & Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cvent solutions help me produce events that are professional and modern. All of the tools make my job easier and enhance the experience for my attendees. Having the Cvent staff onsite for the 360 On Arrival and the lead tracking system is better than having my own staff at the event! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

Cvent can be used for the smallest or largest of events. The best part is the ease to the attendee to register and manage their own information within the system. It also allows for consistent communication and updates through emails as well as a webpage. I am in Cvent several times a week and enjoy utilizing the system. Their customer support is super responsive and the help portal are key in keeping us moving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

There are times when the language used for features are not intuitive and I have to research what they mean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cvent Event Marketing & Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cvent provides a consistent way across our organization to present events and capture attendee information. It is a benefit that it integrates with Salesforce so we can connect reports to our user base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aparna Isa Dass of Cvent Event Marketing & Management

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you find Cvent helpful for managing events and capturing attendee information. We appreciate your input about the language used for features and will take that into consideration for future improvements.

What do you like best about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

I like the diversity of Cvent. It offers a lot of customization and features that you don't see in most registration tools. There is a wide variety of services and products and the way they can integrate easily with external systems is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

While the variety and customization of Cvent is great, the amount of customization can make the first couple of events tedious and time-consuming to set up because you have to ensure all of your settings are "just right". Once the first few events are created, the "copy event" feature makes the next round of events considerably easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cvent Event Marketing & Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cvent is helping us create a more customized registration process for our attendees while still allowing us to keep our branding and message at the front of everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

I did not find anything good about working with Cvent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

First of all, Cvent oversold their experience and expertise at initial meeting. The project manager assigned to our project didn't have any idea on what are requirement or expectations for the specific event. The agreement and work order were very misleading i believe purposely to hide the total cost. The WO contained two Total costs and nowhere explained that the grand total is the sum of two total costs. At any point during many discussions or in the WO it was explained that the 'subscription' to their software is renewed automatically unless you opt out in writing. The services that we didn’t need e.g. subscription to the software were added to the scope of work which was not clear unless you read pages of small print of terms and conditions. The Cvent software we used had less features than regular teams or zoom and the chat function didn’t even work during one of our meetings.

Overall, I found extremely frustrating to work with Cvent and did not appreciate their inflexibility Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cvent Event Marketing & Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

It created more problems than solved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aparna Isa Dass of Cvent Event Marketing & Management

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Cvent. We value all feedback, as it helps us improve our products and services. We apologize for any inconvenience and would like to address your concerns.

We regret to hear that you felt oversold on our experience and expertise. Our goal is to provide clear and accurate information during initial meetings, and we are sorry if this was not reflected in your experience. As for the confusion regarding the project manager's understanding of your requirements and expectations, we strive to assign experienced professionals to each project and take steps to ensure our project managers are fully briefed on client needs. We actively work on improvements here, so the more information we have, the more we can work towards a resolution. It's disappointing to hear that the software did not meet your expectations, particularly with fewer features than expected and issues with the chat function. We are constantly working on enhancing our software, and your input will be valuable in guiding these improvements.

We understand your frustration and appreciate your patience. If you are open to further discussion, we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns directly. Please feel free to contact your account team or share your contact information with us, and we can have someone in leadership call you.

What do you like best about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

I have been using Cvent products for years. I love that all of my associates can view RFP's in real time and that clients can continue using Cvent when they book business with us by utilizing Passkey. Our team is utilizing Cvent products every day and it has helped streamline our processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

Some of my team members are not as tech-savvy as others and can find the many features overwhelming. Once you're familiar with all of the options, it's easy to find what you need but it can take time to learn all of the caveats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cvent Event Marketing & Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the biggest issues we had was communication. With Cvent, we're able to reach out to people with pertinent info about their event, promotions for their visit, or general insight to the conference. We also appreciate that after the conclusion of the conference, we can ask for their feedback and use that to make our event better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aparna Isa Dass of Cvent Event Marketing & Management

Thank you for being a long-time user of Cvent products! We're glad to hear that the real-time RFP viewing and Passkey integration have been beneficial for your team and clients. We understand that the learning curve for some features can be challenging, and we offer resources to help with training and support. We appreciate your input!

What do you like best about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

Cvent registration is an all-in-one system. You want attendees to feel like they are having a great experience for an event before they even leave. It is helpful to be able to house all of the information in one area for our client. You can collect all of the information you need for an event without worrying about losing any data. Also, it works great to communicate to attendees - invitation, travel letter and information, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

Every now and then I will get a glitch or something that may not be functioning properly. However, Cvent has great customer service and they usually fix it rather quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cvent Event Marketing & Management:

Make your event not only user friendly, but event planner friendly! I do not know what we would do without Cvent registration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cvent Event Marketing & Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cvent registration solves all of the manual processes of collecting data from attendees. It helps the event start seamlessly and it connects all together with air and hotel requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

Cvent is an excellent event management tool that my company has been using for over 11 years - and is our main conference/event tool. The product consistently improves year after year. Cvent’s customer support is outstanding, offering multiple support channels: direct calls for urgent issues, case submissions, and assistance from their friendly Account Executives. We also use Cvent’s on-site badge pick-up service, which makes the process seamless. Additionally, Cvent’s reporting capabilities are impressive, including web portals for non-Cvent users (typically management) to access reports. Creating event registrations is also straightforward, and the results look fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cvent Event Marketing & Management?

The challenges we face with Cvent are minimal. Since we use Salesforce as our CRM, we rely on a third-party integration tool because Cvent’s native integration isn’t quite robust enough yet - but I admit that we have some advanced requirements. Additionally, while Cvent can be a bit pricey, the value it delivers makes it well worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cvent Event Marketing & Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cvent streamlines our event registration process, allowing us to focus entirely on executing the event itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cvent is addressing several key challenges in event management, such as streamlining event planning, managing follow-ups, and keeping up with current trends. For me, this means we stay organized throughout the entire process, allowing us to make informed decisions and reassess our approach as needed. While there can be delays in responses from attendees regarding reminders and pre-event logistics, Cvent’s tools ensure everything stays on track, making our planning much more efficient and effective.

Having one platform that the entire company uses for event management makes it easy for Meeting Services to assist people like me that are in charge but not a meeting planner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
