"New user pleased with the platform"

4/5

What do you like best about Circa?

I like that my team can interact all in one place and that our task management is housed on the platform. I also love the calendar views and scheduling views. I love that I can customize my columns and fields on my personal home screen, as I'm the admin and need to be able to see a complete view that is different than the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circa?

I would like to be able to look at every event on my home screen. I would also like to be able to click the back button and go back to my previous screen without having to click back through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent Platform, HORRIBLE customer service"

0/5

What do you like best about Circa?

Ease of use with sharing leads with sales reps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circa?

I couldn't find the tool very useful, it seemed like I was doing double the work in some aspects. Additionally. I had a very bad experience with customer service. My account was set to auto-renew which I was unaware of. When I had logged in I was prompted to reach out to a sales rep. IF I wanted to renew, and since I did not want to renew, I didn't reach out to anyone. I was then charged for the year which is over $4k. I reached out immediately to cancel and spoke with several departments only to be told each time that I was set to auto-renew and that was it. The company must not be doing very well to have such horrible customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best software for managing trade shows and events. "

5/5

What do you like best about Circa?

EventGeek's checklist allows me to see what I have done and what I need to do, keeping me very organized! I also like that it allows my team members to see what we are committed to. We were keeping everything in a spreadsheet but it was just too hard to manage. I also love that my office manager can attach travel confirmations. You literally can view/manage all of the moving parts of an event in one software!

The customer support is amazing too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circa?

It''s definitely a ten for our marketing team. However, I wish it was more sales friendly though but it looks like they are working on updates that will help them, including a mobile app.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Circa:

Train your sales team how to use it. I think it can be overwhelming for them because they see things they don't need to see. Train them on which tabs to go to so they can keep track of the event details instead of having to send questions via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Circa solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was having a hard time keeping up with what tasks were needed for each event. Some events required purchasing of carpet, electricity, booth furniture while some were simply registering a person. I would reference an exhibitor prospectus multiple times for each event to verify what needed to be done and then double and triple check my emails to ensure I actually completed the task. With so many events, it's hard to keep track of what you did for each event.

The checklist capabilities saves me so much time from having to go through email folders to verify what needed to be done vs. what I had already done. I simply copy/paste tasks in the checklist and I also copy/paste the exhibitor schedule in the "Info" tab so I only have one place to look when I need to verity information. It' makes my life so much easier and saves a tremendous amount of time.

Managing events before EventGeek was like trying to manage your life without a calendar. Everyone who manages multiple events/trade shows should use EventGeek. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The answer event planners are looking for!"

5/5

What do you like best about Circa?

The system works! It speaks the event planning language, its effective. It makes me much more efficient in my role, my favorite part about this product is how much less searching I have to do. Before Eventgeek I saved information in three different places and the biggest excel document - it took forever to find what I was looking for, now it takes me less than a minute to find anything I've ever uploaded, made a note about, created a task for. It's been such a time saver and helped me sleep better at night!

Customer service is second to none. This team has a devoted drive to always evolve and dive deeper into the industry making this product stronger, more productive every day. I'm excited to see how they keep growing and keep solving event planners most consistent headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circa?

Because of how dynamic the platform is, and how detailed our business is, it will take some time to set up the templates to speak your language. But after you've taken the time to integrate - you will only have smooth sailing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Circa:

If you're looking for a backend tracking for all things events logistics, this is your one stop shop. I don't think words can explain the value, it's worth a demo, it's changed how I organize my life and made me a better planner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Circa solving and how is that benefiting you?

There's a consistent disappointment in the event planning business with software that truly speaks to the odd details we keep when it comes to back end logistics, sharing information across the team, budgeting, and communication with vendors, stakeholders and partners, just to name a few. Eventgeek really does check the box on a lot of these issues, and I think as they continue to grow, they will continue to be the answer that we're all looking for. The benefits of having this product are astronomical. What typically takes 130+ sheets in excel with hours of scrolling, is now organized in a compact, easy to search and decipher way. The ability to find organization in this world of event based chaos with the perfect balance of basic and detailed information, is a dynamic platform that is currently unparalleled in this industry.
