An Effective Event Networking App That Drives Real Connections **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nelson C. | Event Management Professional, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2026 **What do you like best about Brella?** Brella makes event networking genuinely useful by matching attendees based on their interests and goals. The app is easy to use, helps us schedule meetings efficiently, and encourages meaningful connections rather than random networking. Overall, it has significantly improved attendee engagement and increased the value of our events. We use it sporadically for some of our events, depending on the format and needs. Customer support has been great, and the platform integrates easily into our setup. **What do you dislike about Brella?** Some features feel limited and the interface can occasionally feel cluttered during large events. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brella solves the challenge of ineffective event networking by helping attendees connect with the right people before and during our events. ### 2. Great App for Shows and Great response from Customer Service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brendan S. | Sales Rep, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2024 **What do you like best about Brella?** I use it for tradeshow events that I am attending to pre-book appointments for either before-the-show meetings or on-site. It's great to see the attendance ahead of time. I had a login issue, and Support emailed me back in 3 minutes. After a couple of exchanges, they figured out the fix in under 10 minutes—very fast. **What do you dislike about Brella?** The App seems to self-pick people it thinks I should meet. Not that effective and not the right people. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allowing me to see who is attending to set up meetings ### 3. Magnificent events platform to organize large exhibitions. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amelia g. | Senior Software Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** This platform is exceptional, they allow the beneficiaries to complete the systematization of events with our website and individualize the image of our agenda. At the same time, it has a receptive web browser interface, allowing users to adhere to the content of the event and intervene in meetings from wherever they are. Furthermore, it allows us to integrate Brella with Salesforce, Pipedrive and HubSpot CRM to combine attendee information. The support of the benefit is developed by smartphones, iOS and Android in addition to live chat. **What do you dislike about Brella?** It is an exceptional platform, but it lacks intuition and sometimes its use tends to be frustrating, adding that it does not contain a free system to get to know it a little and be sure that you want to buy it. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** live streaming to preserve both physical and virtual shows. It is a tool that is used in large exhibitions and conferences. This virtual event system allows consumers to manage agendas of various tracks, keep auditors informed about delays or changes in notifications, assign content to presenters for audiences to access and provide agendas in the specific time zones of attendees. ### 4. Perfect tool for hybrid events! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Valentin M. | European Project Manager / VC Analyst - InvestHorizon & EIC Scaling Up, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Brella?** - excellent customer service - Great features - user friendly - Great team - Consideration of customer needs **What do you dislike about Brella?** Nothing - it answers to all of our needs. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Online solution to organize great online/onsite events. ### 5. Does meetings better than anyone else **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kristoffer L. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** 1) A very intuitive platform that is easy to use and is focused on getting users to engage with others and book in meetings. 2) It is easy to set up and only takes a couple of days. **What do you dislike about Brella?** A bit restrictive in functionality at times. I hope they start giving the organiser more freedom to change things in the app without compromising on the great design. Still, there are slight lags and problems when signing on, we have had some attendees struggle to log in at times. I don't see much of any other blocking problem on the platform rather than that point **Recommendations to others considering Brella:** This is the best app I've tried for meetings at events. Can highly recommend to other organisers. Their meetings feature is the best I've seen. The degree of customization you can use on the backend makes sure that participants can find those they are looking for and get the most out of their time at the conference. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1) We book all of our meetings through brella 2) We can send notifications to all of our attendees 3) We can share a full overview of our agenda and speakers on the app The key problem with most conferences is helping attendees find the 5-10 most important people that they should meet with. Attendees are competing for attention along with hundreds of others and Brella makes it easier to connect with the right people and facilitates communication, making it an ideal tool. ### 6. Great staff, easy to use, clean design **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Heather T. | Project Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** The intuitive layout. It's easy to navigate right from the beginning. **What do you dislike about Brella?** I wish there were more customizable features, especially on the home screen. It would also be great to be able to send out custom emails within the platform. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** We'd never used a virtual platform before Brella, so we solved the problem of cost-effectively running our annual conference and a new training event in a virtual format. We had the benefit of having the highest registration for this virtual conference compared to any of our in-person conferences. ### 7. Excellent Product, Excellent Company **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** Their match-making feature is the best I've seen. The degree of customization you can utilize on the backend makes sure that your meeting participants can find the people they are looking for and get the most out of their attendance. **What do you dislike about Brella?** Sometimes the customer support for attendees is a bit slower to respond than I would like. However, they went above and beyond to address this concern on the days of my event to make sure I had what I needed. Additionally, they've been expanding their North American operations, so this isn't as much of an issue now. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** The number one reason participants come to our conference is to network, and Brella makes that process as seamless as possible. Our attendees are able to quickly and easily set up a large number of meetings during our program, increasing their value in attendance. This makes sure that they come back, year after year, and improves our event immensely. ### 8. Brilliant professional meetup **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mohamed H. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** All needed tools are in one platform. The best part is that I have my calendar synch with my PC, as well I can access all my meetings and the events of the summit in one place; there were minor bugs in the earlier versions, but I have seen that all those bugs were solved in the latest version. I don't see a tool in the market for events that cover all the event requirements and meetups like Brella for the moment **What do you dislike about Brella?** Still there are slight lags and problems for signing on safari, I hope to solve them as they did on chrome, I don't see much of any other blocking problem on the platform rather than that point **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used Brella 4 times in 4 different events, and it keeps all my history and tracks all event needs, it combines events agenda and networking in the same place which is great ### 9. Great platform for virtual networking within events! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nivas R. | Angel Investor, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** Brella is a one-of-a-kind tool to enable networking in your events among the attendees. It automates the networking experience and drives great results too. The product has evolved tremendously over the years and stepped up from the features standpoint. **What do you dislike about Brella?** The billing and subscription are a little sales-driven and not product-led. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** We hosted a VC Connect where we connected mutliple VCs with founders on the Brella platform. It just works! We've been able to drive 1000+ meetings through the plartform effortlessly if done otherwise would have taken a lot of man-hours. ### 10. Brella for B2B Conferences **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeroen P. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** The platform is user-friendly, has well-developed matchmaking, and offers the most important features to organize successful B2B conferences. Over the past 18 months, the platform has undergone a lot of development and positive change, with more in the pipeline for 2022. Moreover, the Brella team offers great customer service and is open to and acts on client feedback. **What do you dislike about Brella?** There are limitations in customizing direct emails and messages that can be sent from the platform to facilitate onboarding and attendee engagement, but these are scheduled to be addressed shortly. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have transformed all of our physical B2B conferences into virtual events. The organization of some 20 events on Brella has resulted in the development of a hybrid events strategy that we would have never imagined two years ago. ### 11. Its great for basic events, and simple to get to grips with! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** We like how simple it is to set up and the specifics for networking which we can import; this is great for our users. We also like how easy it is to import other information such as attendees, sponsors and speakers. **What do you dislike about Brella?** That the content closes off to anyone after 2 weeks, and anyone who didn't attend can then not access this. There is a lot of imports to negate for each section; it would be amazing to be able to import a master spreadsheet. **Recommendations to others considering Brella:** This is a great basic events platform; it has everything you need to manage participants and stream via zoom. There is a lot of admin to it, though, to get it up and to run. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a platform to host our content and streaming links, it also provides added benefits to our sponsors ### 12. Heart warming service & absolutely brilliant and helpful product. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Elias H. | Coach, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** Using Brella brings extra value on events / seminars. It is the connections that are the real value of events, not the speaker. **What do you dislike about Brella?** Hard to think. There is always those little "this and that would be nice" but rn I can't come up with any **Recommendations to others considering Brella:** Just try it! **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making event valuable. Before using it I my networking efficiency was significantly lower. ### 13. Best and easiest tool for meetings, I wish all conferences used Brella! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jamey B. | Director of Product Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** I loved how easy it was to request meetings, accept or decline appointments, and took a lot of the natural awkwardness of a networking conference out of the way. Brella made this conference one of the most successful I've ever attended in close to 20 years of attending conferences. I wish all conferences used Brella. **What do you dislike about Brella?** I'm not sure there were too many downsides. If anything, I would say there were a number of people who seemed unaware of Brella, or at least unaware of the functionality and convenience of the app. The more it spreads, the less this will be a problem. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** The perennial problem with every conference is that there are so many people and only so much time. As a vendor in the insurance industry, I am competing for attention along with hundreds of others. Brella makes requests and declines painless, and facilitates communication within the app, making it the ideal tool for the conference setting. ### 14. Best overall networking app I have used in the Hard Money conference space **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark H. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** Easy to use. Good GUI. And best of all are the automated table assignments. Pair that with a great messaging tool and this is a really great app to us. **What do you dislike about Brella?** I wish that you could hide attendees that you don't want to see. At some of the events we attend there are hundreds of attendees and many of them we already know and do business with. It would be nice to be able to hide them from the list so we can more easily focus on the remaining attendees. Especially since many attendees do not build a profile until days before. This means you have to come back to the app over and over to see who has a newly created profile in the days leading up to the event. The ability to hide those we don't want to talk to for any reason would greatly improve the ability to use the app efficiently. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great app that allows us to use our time wisely when attending networking conferences. My team is there to work, not party. This means we need to be efficient and set up as many meetings as possible. ### 15. It mostly works **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike B. | Driver, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** I am familiar with it, having used it for several years at multiple events. It is not that great, but it sucks slightly less than all of the others I have tried. **What do you dislike about Brella?** Oh, oh, so many missing things; it can often be slow or unreachable at events, there is no off-line mode, there is no easy way to get data out from it. It claims to have AI matching, but from the results I have seen, it is simple keyword matching. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps with finding people to meet at events, and seems to be able to get most people to complete their profile. This makes it easier to decide to meet people. ### 16. Brella was easy to use and super scalable. Brella was also well priced for what it offers. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** Interactive meets, lots of ways to get to know of people and AI-based recommendation systems. **What do you dislike about Brella?** Some bugs were present during our job fair. Also some of the features were not too easy to use. For example, there could have been more time to figure out how breakout rooms work beforehand. **Recommendations to others considering Brella:** One of the best sites for online or hybrid events. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mostly the problem of connecting people during a pandemic. We did not benefit from the product financially, since University works as nonprofit. However, there were at least triple the amount of attendees comparing to last time we used brella. ### 17. Brella - a brilliant tool for enabling virtual networking **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** George M. | Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** The AI-matchmaking feature is one of the best tools available on Brella. It really gives one the ability to automatically connect with like-minded people with similar interests. **What do you dislike about Brella?** The one thing Brella should improve on is the ability to link/merge info of back-end uploaded speakers with their respective speaker profiles. That would be a great addition to the platform. One other thing Brella could probably improve on to make the experience better is to introduce ticketing and front-facing event microsites on the platform. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have been able to help people find each other and connect virtually as they would IRL (in real life). With the pandemic and inability to get people in the same room, this is a really 'good-to-have' feature. ### 18. Great networking app for finding new connections in events **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Janina K. | Senior Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** Finding new connections is extremely easy with Brella. Brella's algorithm helped me to connect with people who I wouldn't have found otherwise. It was easy to take meetings virtually, no need to hassle with Zoom links as Brella provided the video software also. **What do you dislike about Brella?** Honestly, I can't think of much. Only thing that comes to my mind is the ability to add matchmaking categories yourself (they were pre-defined by the organizer). **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've gone to many conferences but finding the right people to discuss with is super difficult. Brella saved me tons of time. ### 19. User Experience **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** Easy to use and live sessions. The one on one feature is highly desirable. Easy to use software. Offers lots of flexibility in managing meetings. Software makes it seamless to network. The various (virtual chats) offers great options - improving user experience. **What do you dislike about Brella?** Sometimes the system doesn't always integrate with wide range of softwares. **Recommendations to others considering Brella:** Allow wider range of system integration. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Staying connected with my team. ### 20. I'd recommend Brella **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Renewables & Environment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** Their support - Interfaces and UX are great but when in dispair, like we were to set up our event online, they were fast, helpful and very kind in all support they gave us. **What do you dislike about Brella?** The price - but this is because I am a small very small SME. :/ We cannot use them for all our events yet. **Recommendations to others considering Brella:** IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY, GO FOR IT! **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Matchmaking - putting 2 audiences together. We realized greater adherance of participants with Brella and better branding/deliverables for our sponsors. ### 21. Best for Networking and Making Connections **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in International Trade and Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** I have been organizing events for nearly a decade. Networking is the most important thing for our constituents, and the ability to help them connect with relevant stakeholders is critical. Brella provides the structure for us to make this happen -- it is super easy for our attendees to identify and find like-minded individuals. We love it, and our attendees love it. **What do you dislike about Brella?** They have already worked out a lot of bugs that we addressed in the past. I hate the joining link process and had to create a workaround. Our events are paid and to get individual join links is painful, as there is no integration with our current registration platform. And Brella doesn't have a native registration platform. **Recommendations to others considering Brella:** I would strongly recommend it if networking is a critical component of your event! **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brella makes it easy for our attendees to find relevant matches incredibly quickly. Our events usually have well over 1,000 people, and we are sector agnostic, but impact-focused. This means that people have very divergent interests -- some may be interested in agriculture, and others in healthcare or financial inclusion. At our scale, it is difficult to rely on serendipity to meet relevant people. Brella lets our attendees comb through 1,000+ participants to find the individuals who are interested in very specific sectors, investment opportunities, and learning topics. ### 22. The key technology for successful events **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Iiro L. | Conversational AI Creative, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** Brella brings the missing element to different events and meetups. It really makes those visits and days more valuable when you can be sure to meet interesting people and businesses. In addition, it's easy to use. **What do you dislike about Brella?** There are not things I dislike but some additional company data could be added to app to get to know the person you're meeting with better. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** More efficient use of time in events and meetups. New connections and briefs of people that are attending the events. ### 23. The perfect tool for any event **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Simeon M. | Chief Product Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** Matchmaking functionality Easy to schedule meetings Slick UX **What do you dislike about Brella?** Nothing comes to mind. It would be cool if Brella could automatically pull additional details about attendees from external sources such as Linkedin etc. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** My primary goal when attending events is to build my network, but this (as most of us know) does not just happen by showing up. Brella is a game-changer. Their powerful matchmaking functionality, smart scheduling feature, and beautifully designed interface make events so much more valuable. ### 24. Thanks for great tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Teemu T. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** Easy to use, and everything is very intuitive. **What do you dislike about Brella?** People not answering sometimes, when I want to book meetings. **Recommendations to others considering Brella:** It's the best event tool so far that I have used. You get so much more from the event if they use this tool. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Events are more useful, if they have an app like Brella in use. Some apps like this are just horrible. Brella is very easy and maybe thats why it works so well! ### 25. Best Virtual Conference Experience I have had **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James D. | Product Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** The networking tools were great and the whole experience with all the live and most importantly on demand options for the video broadcast was great. Did not have a single problem and was all very professional and engaging. Chat tools also a bonus **What do you dislike about Brella?** Would have liked some live demo options from the brand's so you could login and chat as they demo as if you were really f2f **Recommendations to others considering Brella:** Do it now! **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helped me keep in contact with the industry despite covid restrictions and busy diary's ### 26. Great experience using Brella for networking **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Martin Hebsgaard C. | Commercial Director - Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** The ability to connect with other attendees at events makes it a lot easier to find those with shared interests; the filtering feature is great for this. Brella is certainly the best event networking app I've used. **What do you dislike about Brella?** I've experienced a couple of app crashes during events - it seemed to it got fixed quickly, though. I have been most successful in connecting with relevant people going through attendees manually - the "recommended" list could use some improvement. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Going to events not knowing who to look for. Brella makes it possible to establish meaningful connections. Finding investors can be difficult, so a tool like Brella is a big help at events to make the search posible. ### 27. Integrated Platform for Networking and Scheduling Meetings **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Venture Capital & Private Equity | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** I like how the video and chat is integrated directly into the Brella platform. Without Brella, I have to schedule a meeting with a separate Zoom or Google Meet link. Therefore, I like how Brella has all of it on one platform. **What do you dislike about Brella?** People are used to using other platforms, so there is a learning curve when switching to Brella. Perhaps some of the functions could be more intuitive, since people I were calling were struggling to figure out how to screen share. Additionally, I wasn't sure if the video was incorporated into the platform, so maybe make that more clear. Another new feature could be having meetings with multiple users at once. It would be cool if that were possible. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** I work for a VC firm and wanted to network with startups. I like how each person has short bio including their position, company, industry, etc. so you know what they do and what they are looking for. This helped me identify good matches to chat with. ### 28. Concept good, execution weak **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** It allows networking during conferences, along with the speaking schedule. It automatically assigns a table to meet at and has ok calendar integration. **What do you dislike about Brella?** Very hard to navigate as a conference user. I find it really hard to see if there is a speaker I want to hear when someone requests to meet with me. The whole site is buggy. I set up networking 3 times before it actually worked, and the first two times it wasn't clear it didn't work, so it took me a few days to get networking working. It really needs to be an app - people will be on their phones while at the event. Right now it is a website, and the URL isn't the greatest, so it is hard to find. It is so difficult to use, that I'm even messing up meeting times and my schedule - something it is supposed to help me with. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows you to schedule speaking events you want to see and network with other conference-goers. Solves the problem of where to meet and to network at a conference but doesn't do it super well. I would not recommend any conference to use them, there must be better solutions out there. ### 29. Easy to use interface & setup **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jill H. | Technical Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Brella?** I like the CMS admin platform, easy to use upload and interface system. **What do you dislike about Brella?** The steams feature was a little difficult to figure out - what works best for live streaming versus pre-records. We used an outsourced company to help with the video and hybrid live versus pre-record event. It would have been easier to use one over the over. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Solving problems of people networking who usually would not network together. That is a huge benefit when trying to get diverse topics and research to teh forefront ### 30. Great tool for stepping up with your networking **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Samu H. | Entrepreneur, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Brella?** I’ve made some great contacts in several events through Brella. It's very intuitive to use and their matchmaking is the best I've tried so far. **What do you dislike about Brella?** So far the only downside I've experienced has been making event days a bit too busy with meetings. **What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brella made finding the right people during events a lot more easier and convenient. ### 31.
