Cvent Event Marketing & Management Reviews & Product Details

It saves us a lot of time when creating events and emails, and it helps keep us organized. It also sends reminders, which is really useful. It is easy to use and great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t much I dislike about it. If anything, I’d just like the option to add more branding to our event setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy cvent and its many aspects to be able to support a single event using only 1 software. I feel like Cvent has evolved and expanded greatly to support the clients needs so we provide the best event services and experience to all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hope to see Cvent expand more into being user friendly for new users. The system can come across as intimidating to new users and staff supporting the events. A thorough training is needed and support for the initial onboarding for every user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Cvent Event Marketing & Management keeps all of our data in one place, so we don't have to jump from one platform to another. It's very efficient and helps with our communications. We really like that we can create our conference websites using the Cvent platform and collect payments through the platform. Cvent truly meets all of our needs in planning and organizing our conferences, so we don't have to rely on other products to achieve our goals. The registration process is very seamless, and we can collect the registration fees through Cvent. I also find Cvent's customer service to be outstanding, there's always a staff member ready to assist us. Moreover, I like the self-learning modules that they offer.

The one issue we have with Cvent Event Marketing & Management is that when we're creating our schedule and bundling several presentations into one session, it can't do that. We have to use a workaround to make it appear logically to our attendees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how almost all of your event needs are located in Cvent. Badge scanning, badge creation, agenda/session management, location sourcing attendee management and event app. Can all be created inside of the event. We do about 150 events annually and it is super easy to create events from templates or copy events year over year. It integrate easy into our reporting software and salesforce. Onboarding new employees is easy and when any questions arise customer support is quick to help resolve any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally dislike the cost and how you have to continue to add on services/features which are an additional cost. However, the service you get with the cost is PRICELESS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With all of the features available that continue to be enhanced and aligned with each other, the platform is becoming increasingly viable as a single ecosystem that more easily supports an SMMP. Our event planning team is in and out of Cvent on a daily basis, and it's hard to imagine how we would manage large conference registrations without it. Our stakeholders and attendees have particularly been impressed by the ease and positive experience of onsite check-in using OnArrival. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost is still a major barrier to entry for many budget-strapped organizations. At times, the promotions and pitches for additional modules can feel heavy-handed and like being "nickeled and dimed." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Cvent is having everything in one place — registration, event website, communications, on-site check-in, and reporting — so I’m not stitching together five different tools to run an event. The AI features and reporting have genuinely saved me time, though I’ll admit it took a while to get comfortable with everything the platform can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost is my biggest gripe — between add-ons, transaction fees, and overage charges, it adds up fast, especially for the volume of events we actually run. The platform is also just a lot: powerful, but sometimes overwhelming for new users or anyone building an event without dedicated time to learn it, and a few workflows (like collaborating on the same event build with teammates) feel clunkier than they should.

I'm particularly excited for some of the new features coming out that will make website building easier and prettier as well as registration faster for group registration. I like how much easier uploading speakers is, as I know how hard it could be in past software. The theme building for the website builder will save me hours of time and ensure a cohesive and consistent look for my clients' conferences. Group registration has always been a pain, but this will allow registrants to do the registration without multiple emails and our staff spending hours to input them. Although setup comes with a lot to learn, especially with the new AI, I have a great team of CVENTers with me, which is beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The website builder, while drag-and-drop, can feel clunky, and it's tough to achieve the polished look of the example templates. There's a limitation on video and embed sizes, making it impractical for larger video content, and I'm not sure if the builder ensures ADA/WCAG compliance, which is a concern. Additionally, there's a lot to learn with the new AI features, and while seemingly easy at first, there are many nuances in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cvent Event Marketing & Management for registration and website marketing for my events. It provides a one-stop shop for planners, allowing me to send event reminders, registration updates, and see RSVPs all in one place. I love that I can add my own logos and use my own fonts so it feels authentic. I also love the event diagramming option with Social Tables, which helps to plan the layout of my event and source venues. The initial setup was easy to understand.

I'm looking to make my websites a little more complex, so options such as photo transparency or a comparison tool would be great. I just want more customization options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the level of customization with Cvent Event Marketing & Management. Creating the websites can be fun, and it's great that we can fully customize everything. It helps us keep branding consistent. As a newer user, I can say learning it has been fairly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd love to see more advanced logic for registration questions, and our attendees would like it if the platform could save their card information for future registrations. When adding logic-based questions, I would like there to be more options for triggering those questions to show. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been great seeing Cvent expand and grow within AI tools. I also like that they are really listening to users and adding more features that help us with our event creation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Outside of Cvent Connect, I wish they held more workshop trainings throughout the year that allow you to dive deeper into certain features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
