I'd give this one to Cvent Attendee Hub (4.3★, 219 reviews) for larger, more analytics-driven events, and BigMarker (4.7★, 444 reviews) for teams that want something simpler to run once it's configured.
Cvent Attendee Hub: a reviewer noted it "pulls the information from the cvent registration site, saving time on imports," and another credited its analytics with shaping attendee experience improvements year over year. The dislike side is consistent across reviews: a real learning curve for new admins that requires actual training time upfront.
BigMarker: one reviewer said it "automates a lot of stuff... emails, handouts, etc." and that once configured, it's simple day to day. Another praised its interactive tools (chat, polls, Q&A) for keeping attendees engaged. The dislike here is the setup itself, one reviewer described having to build each webinar's settings individually rather than templating them.
So the honest framing: Cvent trades a steeper ramp-up for deeper analytics and market presence (it holds the highest G2 Score in the category), while BigMarker trades some initial setup friction for a lighter ongoing lift.
If you've run events on both, which one actually saved your team more hours once the dust settled?

Cvent is the big end-to-end event-management machine, so it saves time by having everything in one system, but that breadth is also why it's heavier to learn and run. BigMarker grew up more on the webinar and virtual/hybrid side, so it tends to feel lighter and quicker to stand up for that kind of event. So the honest question is what shape your event is: a large complex in-person or multi-track program leans one way, a webinar-style or virtual-heavy program leans the other. Which describes yours? That splits the decision faster than any feature grid. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 3 days ago ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 4
