What do you like best about Event Temple?
The ability to manage event bookings from space reservations to food menus and invoicing, proposals, etc in one system. The system also has task management, emailing integrated within. Decent customization options via custom fields. Overall it's a good system, but there are some really big shortfalls that I wish I'd known before signing up as it may have changed my mind. I still recommend Event Temple for some use cases, but for organizations with many users, research the limitations of user access levels. As we are fully invested in the system at this time, we will continue to hope for feature updates!

What do you dislike about Event Temple?
-Accounting & Invoice controls don't exist- any user can edit an invoice/apply a discount without notification to anyone, invoices can be deleted, and there's no way to get it back.
-No past-due payment reminders.
-No ability to limit what users can do - it's either full or view-only access, nothing in between.
-Documents, Bookings, etc. can be deleted with no way of restoring them. No history of document changes - let's say you create a proposal for a prospect. They ask for changes and you make those changes. Unless you make a new proposal, there is no way to reference the old one. Further, the system sends links to documents not attachments, so if you or a staff member accidentally edit a proposal instead of creating a new one, you cannot look back at what you previously did.
-Electronic signature function is not legally compliant in the US.
-Reporting is limited. No ability to create a custom report; you're at the mercy of the limited filters within the provided reports. A lot of data is non-reportable, including custom fields
-No reminders for a client to sign a document; we have to manually check and email the client to say, "Your contract (or any doc) is not yet signed."
-No expiration of documents - if you send a contract, for example, you can set a due date, but the system will allow the client to sign it past the due date.
-No ability to void a document, contract, proposal, etc.
-"CRM" leaves much to be desired. One example - No alerts for duplicate contacts unless they share the same email address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
