They also help with managing speakers. ### 2. Good solution for event management **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mehdi A. | Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** - Frontera offers a lot of possibilties to manage events like creating events, speaker management. **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** _ You can't use URLs in the Fonteva forms **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helping us managing events well. ### 3. Fonteva Events provids easy Events Management with integration to our Fonteva Membership software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thomas A. | Director Of Information Technology, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2020 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** Fonteva Events has give us the ability to quickly and easily setup new events and integrate with our association members. This allows us to offer member only pricing and increasing the value of our memberships. It also allows our team to track our attendees and guest attendees become new leads for memberships. It's been a great tool to be able to setup a website and providing venue information, agenda and session registration and more! **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** Would like to have the ability to customize a little more then what currently is there. **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to integrate with our Membership Management and offer more value to our members by providing benefits with membership only pricing! We can easily setup event websites also! ### 4. Great integration with Salesforce, some back end difficulties **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2020 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** It's Salesforce native, info mapping is fairly seamless. The interface is fine both on the back end and front end. **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** Complex and not always intuitive, no phone support. The emailing system is super complex and can't be done by anyone who doesn't know code. There is no automated waitlist system. Conditional pricing is limited to one condition per price rule. Users can't cancel sessions -- only tickets. There's some issues with ticketing as well (what allows the push and pull of info back to the contact record is somehow tied to contact restriction -- ie one ticket per attendee only, meaning if you have more than one type of ticket for multiple workshops, a person can't buy more than one workshop registration AND have their info be pushed back to their record). Refunds and cancellations are not automatic. **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's great to track your customers/members and heir purchases/registrations in one spot. It also helps keep the info they submit, and it can help them when they fill out forms later on. ### 5. Easy to Manage, Branded Events **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeremy W. | Web Services Manager , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 09, 2020 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** Fonteva Events is very feature rich, which makes it good for a variety of different events.

At the same time we are able to promote our brand with more modern event marketing pages. ### 6. Disappointing events system which lacks some basic functions and standard protocol. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2018 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** This events app is built right on top of Salesforce. The amount of features, the look and feel, and the UX are fare superior to former solutions. Plus, this has its own eCommerce capability which can used with the rest of the Fonteva product. Regular new releases are slated. I also like the fact that the company is growing quickly. **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** There are some items which are slated to be released which are not currently available. Some of the SEO elements aren't yet in place. There are many constraints. Many of the functions touted with the system aren't present. Email and social integration are non-existent. The product shown to us that we liked was deprecated and replaced with a sub-par product. **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need to have a better UX for our association members to find and register for events. We need to be able to make changes on the fly in real time, and we need to be able to support different event types. ### 7. One of the most innovative Association App on Salesforce **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Akashdeep A. | Software Engineer SFDC, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2019 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** Being a Fonteva partner, our organization uses Fonteva for membership, events, and e-commerce. Really appreciate the efforts made by the developers of Fonteva for creating such an innovative Association App that reduces the efforts for creating and setting up the member portals & event management. The day is not far when Salesforce might acquire this solid product. Kudos to the team!!!! **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** Not as such as of now, will definitely contact the concerned team when needed. **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy to use and time saving while setting up the memberships and associations. ### 8.

Also searching is a breeze because it offers you nicknames (like Brad as well as Bradley) which makes finding the right account so much easier! **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** I struggle with the reporting as there are just far too many items that are similar in name. I find it easy to get confused about when to choose which item. **Recommendations to others considering Fonteva Events:** This is a great opportunity to explore new options for reaching people. **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to manage events and memberships easily all from the same platfrom. Rather than having 2-3 platforms that have to communicate (which hardly works). So that has eased frustrations greatly! ### 9.

Great Events System for Nonprofits **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kari V. | VP, Member & Field Relations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2019 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** The ability to have all Association functions under one AMS instead of using multiple systems to meet individual program needs. **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** So far, we have only used the Events system for small events and have not had any issues. We may have more issues with attempting to use this system for our complex +10k attendee conference. **Recommendations to others considering Fonteva Events:** Start small with implementing small events like lunches or training sessions. **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've used Fonteva events to eliminate having to use multiple unconnected systems (Membership Database, Events Registration, Website). Now we only use Fonteva Events with Fonteva Membership. This eliminates a lot of data validation steps and importing data. It is critical to have real time data and Fonteva meets that need for our operations. ### 13. excellent interface for events and very useful **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Luis G. | Intercambio de conocimientos, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2019 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** Fonteva software is very good at facilitating events.

No need to set up external EMS and try to get your data back in to SF. **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** There is no built-in indoor map, so you'd need to use an external tool for that if you have a very large event with multiple indoor locations.

You can also add branding, logo and various ticket types. It supports venues, classes, speakers, vendors, scheduling, registration, online payment for tickets etc. **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** Not flexible enough to support deviations from core product capabilities, rigid I had used this product in the Salesforce classic interface and it felt very cumbersome at times. I haven't had a chance to evaluate this in the lightning experience yet and hence cannot comment on the latest version. **Recommendations to others considering Fonteva Events:** If you are looking to use Fonteva Events for a B2C use case, it is by far the best solution on the Salesforce platform.

Great for Current Salesforce Users **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abby H. | Marketing Coordinator, Think Tanks, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2018 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** Since it's built on Salesforce, Fonteva transfers our event data right into our Salesforce org, which is where we track everything else. That is fabulous. The event builder is also very intuitive, even for our less tech-inclined staff. **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** There are a few pieces of functionality that I wish Fonteva had, such as automatically writing registration form information back to the attendee record. But these aren't deal breakers. **Recommendations to others considering Fonteva Events:** Be sure you clearly map out your requirements before starting to install the events app. And give yourself plenty of time before you go live, especially if you don't have an experienced Salesforce administrator on staff. **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our previous event management system was separate from Salesforce. Data transfer was a pain, to say the least. Fonteva solved that issue by putting the data in the system right away. ### 18. We’re hoping to run more and more events this way! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arden W. | Coordinator, Membership Data and Industry Research, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** Great to run everything through one system rather than worrying about yet more integrations **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** Our large events are so large that we worry about placing confidence in this unfamiliar feature (18k attendees+), because we’re comfortable running these big events with third party vendors **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** Synchronizing our information in one system to avoid the worry about mismatch in integrations, reducing duplicates, allowing effective and quick email marketing through Marketo ### 19. Best Event Module to date! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Caroline Q. | Data Systems Analyst, Higher Education, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 15, 2018 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** The layout is easy enough to allow any user setup and schedule Events.

Events Made Easy All On Salesforce **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexander H. | Technical Consultant, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2017 **What do you like best about Fonteva Events?** Out of the box Event Management functionality for Salesforce. There is no worthy competition to this product. If I'm looking to add any type of Event functionality to a Salesforce org this is where I go immediately. Fonteva's software makes Events easy; I've set it up and customized it for a company in an hour or two and then they can make Events within a few minutes. It always wows my customers to have such functionality so quickly. **What do you dislike about Fonteva Events?** Custom and complicated development on their pages can be time consuming. Out of the box everything is fantastic, but custom Visualforce pages and CSS can take a lot of debugging. Wish it was easier to customize better. But this is a minor blemish on a fantastic product. **What problems is Fonteva Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** "I want to be easily able to organize Events and Conferences, and I want the best software for it" "I want to be easily able to integrate my Events software with the best Membership software" "I use Salesforce and want to drive customer engagement in person" ### 21.

Having control over our registration and the ability to receive results in real time without depending on a third party company for updated numbers. ### 22.
