The support from the Blackthorn team is unlike any I have experienced. This product is worth it alone just because of the amazing people behind this platform and how willing they are to help (shoutout Jared and Noah!) With 10 years of being in the workforce and utilizing many platforms, I have never come across a more helpful, people focused, "what can we do to make this product work for you" attitude. The Blackthorn team truly wants to help and are committed to making sure that you, the customer, are using the product in its full capacity. Particularly, their open office hours have been a game changer. AT ANY TIME, I can schedule a 15-30 minute 1-1 with a specialist (within their scheduled business hours) to help with any problem I am having. This has saved me countless hours back and relieved so much frustration on the user-facing end. They are responsive, helpful, and just an absolute joy to work with!

The main problems I find with this product is the complexity of some of the items. Often it can take a lot of clicks to accomplish what you're hoping to get done. The email template feature and form feature can be quite annoying. You have to make a form for pretty much every event, so just to set up a robust registration, you might need to make 2-4 forms ahead of time, then complete the registration. It's also not always clear what the forms do or where they end up once you insert them. It can take some digging to sort this out.
I think it's also not always attractive to the user, which can be discouraging for more youthful generations to be excited about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hi LindsayCate! Thank you for your kind words - I'll make sure they get back to our onboarding team. I also appreciate your helpful and specific feedback on the Events app itself. We have some UI improvements coming for the form builder soon, but I agree that we could make it more intuitive to place the forms within the relevant registration step.
I'd love to hear more detail on the email template feature and the attractiveness. Are you referring to the Salesforce app (the event organizer-facing tool) or the webapp (the attendee-facing interface)? Please reach out - I'd love to hear from you at katie.campbell@blackthorn.io.
