Sched Reviews & Product Details

We have been able to use Sched for both virtual and in-person events. Adding attendees, speakers, and sponsors is a breeze, and being able to see projected attendance for events helps us be proactive in our planning. Last-minute changes to programming, locations, and events, are easy to navigate on Sched, as well. I appreciate the messaging options to push out real-time notifications and reminders to attendees, speakers, sponsors, or everyone at once! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing of Sched was a shock to us this year. The Sched team met with us to navigate our budget as a nonprofit education organization, and we are so grateful they were able to accommodate our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Sched team keeps you on track very well throughout the process with a detailed, outline of what steps are needed by when. Logging into the system and completing all the required steps for the published app was easy. The end result is a very professional looking app, and all I had to do was upload images and information about our event.

End result, over 200+ people used our app for our annual event this year without any issues or complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Previous versions looked a little dated, but the latest UI/UX updates are great! Very clean and fresh.

Of course, with any software there will be limitations, but we were able to do everything we needed to for a live 3-day event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sched is extremely user-friendly, from all stages of planning an event. Spreadsheet import is extremely useful, and management of communication in the dashboard to participants, speakers, and more is great. The live support through chat has been helpful, along with a plethora of self-help guides on the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like an option for the spreadsheet imports to be a choice of Google and Excel spreadsheets but I understand the formatting and platform needing excel. There are no real downsides of using Sched. Beyond Sched's control are budget cuts in education which limit the ability to purchase subscriptions that we may find more useful with the communication features as other aspects. They do, however, provide great deals for working with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sched is extremely intuitive to set up and use, even the more advanced features. But if you need help, they also have fantastic support - very clear tutorials for admins and users alike (which they make easy to share with event participants), and dedicated account managers and tech support teams who are very responsive and actually take the time to get to know your event needs. And they take client feedback seriously - every year I see a new improvement or integration that is based on user feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I don't think there are any issues with Sched that aren't common among event platforms - and they are minor. We've received feedback from attendees in the past who wished the attendee interaction features were more robust, but Sched obviously also received the same feedback because I've noticed improvements with every update.

Sched makes event management so much easier with its intuitive user interface. The ability to bulk-upload sessions, users, and speakers—complete with helpful tagging options—was a huge time-saver. I also appreciated how the schedule could be integrated into our website, providing a professional look for our event. The email feature was another highlight, allowing us to send daily reminders, welcome emails, and customized newsletters to attendees. The event privacy features also gave us peace of mind when it came to restricting it to our participants only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While their customer service is quick and responsive, they don’t always have all the answers, which can leave you hanging in certain situations. Another area for improvement is the email customization options, particularly for subject lines and intros, which are sometimes pre-set and can’t be modified. Also, a Spanish-language user interface would be a fantastic addition. Lastly, the feedback feature could be more flexible to collect additional information.

This is our second year using Sched for a week-long Special Education professional development conference. It is a fantastic resource! Coordinating the event with it made scheduling 200+ attendees and 50 speakers simple. Thank you for this platform and extremely fast responses to all questions through excellent customer support!

I'm not sure there is anything I would say that I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual, themed, schedule. Works seamlessly cross-platform.

Our users were happy! Time zone management was brilliant across five and a half zones.

Daily schedule email reminders were well received.

Administrative possibilities are immensely valuable using the well-documented Rest interface.

Just in time (i.e. late) setting of Zoom links worked well - they are revealed shortly before event start times.

The company was very supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The emailed daily schedule does not localize event start times to the time zone of the reader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease with which the registration is undertaken. This platform constantly upgrades and improves everytime we use it. GREAT, responsive helpful support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. There is nothing missing from this product and everything works properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Sched many times to organize conferences. The people I work with have a wide range of technology comfort, and I don't think I've ever received a question about how it works from the user point of view, as far as registering for sessions. Even better, the back end is great too. Many options for uploading, many plans to really support your needs, and best of all the customer service is the best out there.

Sched doesn't really have any downsides. Maybe if you're an advanced web designer or coder it might feel too stiff? I really can't think of anything. It's truly ideal for organizing a conference, no matter how many sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use and embeddable into your website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We would still like to use it, but their pricing has skyrocketed! Some of features cannot be justified as selling points, like their website. The prices are literally three times as much as what we used to pay.

Also - Having Eventbrite as the only ticketing integration is shortsighted. Most do not use Eventbrite after they priced all SMEs out of their product. Having a ticketing solution integrated that is also integrated with Stripe is far more clever for folks like us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
