Good system but some missing **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The ease of setting the system up is great - very simple. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** DTCM integration is not good, and was one of the reasons we purchased the software. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Customer relation - it has made our customer journey a lot smoother ### 2. Great Customer Service! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The customer service and support has always been very timely, pleasant, and (most of all) useful. I perform an admin function in the tool, which brings a lot of questions my way from other users in the company. eTouches support is always very helpful in tackling those questions and issues as they arise. The support team has also been quick to send issues my way if approached with authorization requests from with the company. Very much appreciated! **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The browser admin interface does not always seem as intuitive as it could. There is definitely a fairly large learning curve if you intend to utilize the full feature set eTouches allows. The draw back is that the tool can seem a bit unwieldy (and perhaps expensive) if you're not planning to use every aspect, so it pays to take the time to learn, but that learning can be frustrating at times. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** Definitely take the time to learn all of the capabilities of the tool. Will pay off in the end! **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** eTouches has provided a great environment in which our company can organize and execute events, ensuring a colaborative, one-stop-shop for the whole team. It has been great to have a single tool for use across the company, allowing for much needed oversight and coordination within the events team. There is always room for improvement, but overall satisfaction within the team is high. ### 3. eTouches Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Molly O. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I like the ability to easily navigate between events and surveys. I also appreciate how simple it is to find and review previous events through the archive. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I wish that the system regulated formatting for phone numbers, etc. so that all of the information exported the same way. For example, that all phone numbers would be dashed or included parentheses. This would make the user experience easier. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** Etouches is a simple and effective platform for events and surveys, helping the user easily gain relevant information. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Etouches enables our business to open up opportunities to a wide number of partners and then select those that work best using the survey information they complete. ### 4. I have greatly enjoyed using eTouches. Very user friendly. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** There are many things I enjoy about eTouches. The amount of control I am given over the event is great. All of the different options that are available have been very useful. As well they are constantly adding new features that allow us to grow our events. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The biggest issue I have come across is the complexity of some options. I have to go to this page, then that tab, then click this option. That will turn on an option on this other page so you can make that change. As well the site is not designed for a Multi Level Marketing business. This makes some tasks more difficult. However, they have been making changes to improve this. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has improved time management greatly. The registration system we used to use was built internally. To make some changes we would have to submit IT tickets and wait for fixes to be made. it would take hours or even days for fixes to be made. Now with etouches, I have control over almost everything. People are always amazed at how quickly I am able to make corrections. ### 5. I do not recommend it / We are now looking for a new solution **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** eReg, the registration module is very complete and flexible. You can manage any kind of event. but when you deeply use Etouches, you can find out lots of inconsistency, for exemple you can display somme informations but not all of them with no reasons or some fields are available in the API or in Custom Report but not all of them.. These are just exemple, there is many of small things that have not been thinking globally (probably due to a lack of test before pushing new developpement live) At each new developpement implemented in the live area, it's very commun to have backsliding : so annoying, especially when you are at the firt day of your event **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The support is very efficient for basic question but is completely unuseful in case of major bugs : no news from the team when you really need answer, at least to be able to anticipate, no information on the reason of the bugs, no excuse of course and no help to offset conséquences of the bug No transparency, No open conversation with any staff of Etouches. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** Don't use it ! **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Registration management for events (via eReg) Abstracts management for events (via eSelect) Problems appears at the very beginning, but the team was much more helpful. Now we do not feel as a Customer for them, they are not willing to improve the software, and themselves. They are just looking for new Customer, with no improvment strategy We are now looking for a new solution as we are very disappointed. ### 6. Hands down the best event management solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** etouches is extremely easy to use. A million customizations and they keep updating the solution about every week. Amazing! We recently tried the loopd trackers to see where our attendees were wandering too most during an art show to show our artists what kind of real engagement they received from the event. Attendees were also able to easily network with one another and even exchance contact information back and forth. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Not much to dislike here. I suppose the name could be better! **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** Definitely take time to do the training. Our team was lost before we had attended a complimentary training that etouches provides. The solution is very involved and requires a bit of 'getting to know.' **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using etouches to manage dozens of events per year and increase engagement from our clients and customers. This system gives us the ability to get full information on all of our evvents and attendees. ### 7. eTouches Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The best part is working with the event management company, Executivevents. They are very familiar with the software and incredibly helpful. There is also a relatively high level of customization available in the site that is great. They recently underwent a user interface update and the new update is great. Also really like the reporting features - several customizable reporting options. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Customer Service is not the greatest - sometimes it'll take days to receive a response. In some other cases, I never received responses to issues experienced with the system. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** If not using a registration management company, be sure to negotiate or confirm extensive user training. While I was offered a training when I began with my company, it was simply a webinar tutorial and did not dive deep into the capabilities of the site. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use eTouches for registration for all of our events ranging from 20 - 4,500 attendees. ### 8. etouches has a bright future **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** What is great about etouches is that they are constantly upgrading the platform with new enhancements and features. They really listen to their customers and the feedback they give. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** A difficulty we have experienced with etouches is that at times the platform cannot handle large amounts of traffic. This can be problem-some as some of our events attract thousands and we need to be confident that they are going to have an exceptional user experience while registering. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** etouches is a very strong platform that is working hard to develop a best in class product. If you are prepared to actively work with their team, this product will work to your benefit. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** etouches helps our automatic so much of what we do. With this automation we are more efficient with our time and our margin of error has been reduced. ### 9. Etouches as an Event Portal **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Philanthropy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I like that it comes with 16 modules for planning and managing your event. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Their professional support folks are not very flexible and accommodating. It is hard to have a good partnership with them. The company staff seems to all work remotely from home. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** The product is great if you have a typical standard event to manage. If you have a highly customized event it is hard because you will need etouches professional and technical support and I don't think that has been as good as other software. I also do not like the fact that you need to pay an additional fee to remove their logo from your event. Read your contract carefully. It is written in there that they have a right to put their logo on every page on your event website. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We host many events around the world and uses Etouches to manage the save the date email communication to e-registration to event website to analytical reporting post event. Awesome to have a software that can provide a full solution. ### 10. The experience has been stable. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jessica Y. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I like the added features such as the incomplete notification and the fact that you can customer a variety of emails. I like that you can customize the buttons and set the look and feel of registration to match your brand **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** There was some miscommunication about the app platform and the failed sync report. Other than that, everything else has been pretty intuitive. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** No business problems at the moment. I think the fact that there is a centralize place that does work for our users has been beneficial. ### 11. eTouches Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katie Z. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** THE SUPPORT TEAM!! They are incredible, and I always receive a quick and thorough response. The support team goes above and beyond every time, and ensure my question(s) is/are answered before closing out the support ticket. My account manager is also wonderful, I just utilize the support team more than my AM. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** At this time, I have no dislikes with eTouches. I don't utilize all the features they offer, but I'm looking forward to learning and implementing more features. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Registration and event management ### 12.

There are many APIs that make is very easy to integrate with other systems. I also love that so many language options are available. Also, the ability to frame a web page in the app that knows the id of the user makes it simple to create custom experiences, almost anything you can think of. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I would like the survey module to be responsive. That is coming soon. Will be great to move away from surveymonkey. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Event attendees ### 13. Really Great Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bailey H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I really like the ability to input our own coding into it and their willingness to always work with our company and help us along the way. The new user interface makes everything even better now! **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I honestly don't really dislike anything about it! **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We haven't run into any problems with using it, but we've been able to benefit by sending out surveys and emails through the same platform we build the websites and that's a really nice convenience to have. ### 14. etouches is our marketing tool #1 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eike-Christian W. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** - the management of all events from registration to attendee management to lead follow up - the possibility to manage mail conversations, mailing lists etc. in an efficient way - survey - immediate and good support **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** - sometimes it is hard to find things due to the menu structure - the HTML editor could be improved **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** - event management - internal employee surveys - E-mail-marketing ### 15. etouches is the best! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kim J. | Communications Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I love how many options there are.

We love the summary reports and the ability to quickly see the data. ### 16. eTouches platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jennifer C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I love the ease of using and the available modules. It's great that when working in eReg and eHome, you're able to use the word editor versus having to know html. We do quite a bit of customization and using eTouches for registration makes it easy not to mention the custom reports we can create. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Our company has some specific functionalities that are unique to our business and these may not be available with eTouches. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** I highly recommend this product for numerous reasons. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Consistency with reg. sites both cosmetic and functionally.

Great Solution for many needs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** eTouches is easily consolidating over 25 different systems that we use here. I was not able to go to training but I can easily figure out how to set up everything and it's making my life much easier. Everything is pretty self-explanatory. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Most likely user error but I have to figure out the hotel function, it didn't link to the site as I wanted it to but I could've set it up wrong. Other than that, I have no complaints. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Registration, project management for events, better agendas that integrate with a mobile app, and so much more. ### 18. eTouches Feedback **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I think there is a lot of room for improvement. I use the tool primarily for survey administration and feedback collection. eSurvey leaves a lot to be desired in terms of the interface and reporting. Survey Monkey just does a better job for us, and seamlessly collects the meta data we need. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I do not care for the new interface at all. The reporting function is horrible out of eSurvey (charts look like preschoolers drew them). Reporting is clunky, not intuitive to use at all. The tool barely works when using IE; can only use Chrome (which is not a standard tool for our firm) **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using the tool for survey administration for large learning events. There has been a cost benefit and efficiency gain by using all the tools from the same suite. ### 19.

For this level of platform, one expects all the buttons and functionalities to be completely responsive on 'view' . eSelect: 1) Sometimes Select is setup before eReg settings and look and feel are completed (abstract submission opens before registration in most cases). System should allow to have look and feel settings on eSelect to be synchronized eReg settings at any time; 2) reporting - excel: sometimes formatting of spreadsheets is off, which makes it unreadable. I believe this might be a glitch in the reporting system. Reporting in word - Great feature, but should allow formatting - some fields show out of order (field 3 and 4, showing before fields 2 and 1 etc...) Abstract submission - front end / user: users should be prompted to save their submissions when system is close to logging them off Project timeline - email with tasks becoming due/ overdue could be linked so people could update their tasks quicker, instead of having to browse through their entire task list. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** eSelect - Abstract submission management > submission and review process is streamlined and easy to setup and manage both on the back and front ends, which is a huge time saver for both administrators and users Systems are very user friendly on the front end, which helps increase submissions/ applications. ### 35.

Southwest Culture **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Airlines/Aviation | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I love how streamlines the process is and how easy everything is to use. Once you have learned how to use it. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** There is a slight learning curve, but that is usual with any tool. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Meeting attendance and scheduling ### 38. A Great Platform at a Great Price **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matthew D. | Sales Engineer, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The Administrative flow for configuration is extremely intuitive and easy for a general practitioner as well as an experience manager. The system allows for support of very simple registration as well as complex user conference and expo programs. Etouches beats competitors in areas of flexibility for look & feel (creating a much more attractive and engaging experience) as well as open standard API integrations. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Etouches needs to continue to develop and extend capabilities for Session & Speaker Management to accommodate increasingly complex User Conferences, offering filtering capabilities within a formal agenda builder. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our company developed and currently manages a proprietary registration platform that supports Incentives and Meetings. We have partnered with etouches and will continue to support their growth efforts as we look for a long term, financially viable solution to meet the needs of our clients across all event types. ### 39. Fantastic event registration platform **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The ease of use, both from a management side as well as the customer journey **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Some small limitations, but the support team are super helpful with solutions and work arounds **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Delegate registration and event communications, accommodation and flight management. ### 40. Responsive **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The online responsiveness when issues arise. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Can be a bit fiddly... lot's of checking required, but this is a learning curve for me. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** I sent one large email to over 40k clients and it worked seamlessly. ### 41. etouches for association management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Martin B. | Senior Director, Meetings Operations & Procurement, Non-Profit Organization Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Kellen has partnered etouches since 2012. We have seen the company grow & prosper, and we are very pleased with the results. Top successes include continued ease of use, great customer support, good online learning, useful API, great integration between modules, great onsite experience. We also appreciate and utilize the system's ability to work with multiple currencies, multiple global payment gateways, and multiple languages, including Chinese. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Some of the challenges include lack of development of the online booth sales & management module (ebooth), slow development of integration with association management systems (AMSs, such as NetForum, YourMembership, i4a...), limited scope of the appointment-scheduling module (esocial). **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** There are a couple of competitors (for full event management solutions) soon the horizon, including Bizzabo; we checked them out and they are not quite there. I feel etouches has lost some of their entrepreneurial spirit, and are more focused on marketing and mass appeal. Less innovation and more process. Regardless, our focus with them is to move forward with integration with association management software solutions (AMSs) such as NetForum, YourMembership, i4a, etc... **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** being able to apply a successful registration template across multiple clients. Having a test area vs production area. accepting registrations in multiple currencies and depositing direct into client online merchant account through international payment gateways. having a one-click option to view the website in multiple languages, including Chinese. ### 42. I have been very pleased with eTouches.I used a lot of other products before but eTouches surpasses. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian K. | Executive Director, Education Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Functionality. Ability to specialize your registration. The customer service if fantastic! I can always get in touch with someone either via chat or by phone. Any time during the day or night. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Cost is pretty high. I believe I can get other products for a much cheaper price. That is my only concern. I am wondering if I should go to another product. The annual price is high plus the per registration cost is also very high. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** The ease of use if great! This applies for the person setting up the registration as well as for the individuals registering. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Registration for conference. The ease of use is great and people seem to understand how to register easily. This was not the case with my previous product. ### 43. Greats events software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I like how you can customize your event in all possible ways and a lot of built in features are amazing and so time saving. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I like everything regarding the system, its great and their support is great also. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it for events. ### 44. etouches has solved some of our biggest problems **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Neecia S. | Senior Event Producer, Global Events, International Affairs, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Before we got etouches our team gathered rsvps through email and it was a long and tedious process. Automating the process has saved us so much time and effort. It also removes a lot of the ambiguity for our invitees. They know right away that we've recorded their rsvp and don't need to wait around for someone to get back to them personally. We have also been able to take advantage for the emarketing and send out invites easily. We no longer have to use mail merge that constantly caused our computers to crash. All around it has benefited our event planning processes. I love the new registration page templates. The look is a major improvement over the old default template. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** etouches can be a bit glitchy for me. It isn't easy to copy paste text from a word doc into an etouches email window. The formatting options are not very extensive and tend to cause issues for me. I don't know how many times I've created an email and looked it over just to find the formatting totally messed up once the test email hits my inbox. It's very frustrating when this happens and it takes multiple tests and rewrites to get it to work properly. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** etouches saves us time when setting up registrations for our numerous events. It streamlines the process for our invitees and allows us to force them to give us the information we need. Before etouches we had to rely on people actually reading our invites and requests and deciding to respond with all the information we asked them for. This was never an easy process. Etouches also makes sending out invites much smoother. Before we never had the option to set emails to go out at a later time. It is also much quicker to send out invites to thousands of guests. No longer do we have to use mail merge. ### 45. Registration system is better than most but has notable flaws **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Finding a registration system that offers true group registration with either group or individual invoice options has been difficult. eReg comes the closest I've seen and the automatically generating, forwardable invoicing has made life in a small office holding events for 2,500+ much easier. For the most part, the system is fairly intuitive and includes time saving features. Costs are reasonable and technical support is generally very good. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Despite the fact that some features are head and shoulders above similar systems, eReg does have some notable and frustrating flaws. The search ability for the check in process has what I'd consider a fatal flaw - it searches only for an exact match. If extra spaces or hyphenated names have been entered into a registration record, they will not come up in the search unless typed in exactly as they were input. The search feature within event registrant lists functions much better and will pull up any result containing a portion of the search criteria entered. The mobile check in search feature works the same as the registrant list. Another place where etouches falls down is with the event mobile app TapCrowd. For my last event, we found a number of errors in the program which caused information displayed on iPhones not to correctly sort or display as intended. Every time an update was made, our extensive custom formatting had to be redone and my final costs were almost 4 times more than budgeted due to the amount of time my contractor spend redoing the same work multiple times and calling/following up with tech support on the plethora of issues we experienced. Finally, while individual costs are included for group registrations, payments must be manually broken down if you need to see individual portions of fees paid. Some of our groups are 40+ and manually applying the fees is clunky and cumbersome. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** Get a trial and build an event based on your most complex or time consuming event needs and fully test the search abilities. For our organization the pros definitely outweigh the cons but if your needs are fairly simple, this might not be the program for you. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** eReg has, for the most part, solved our need to have a quick and easy method for invoicing and sending balance due statements. The time savings has been extensive. ### 46. etouches has changed our event registration experience! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Debi H. | Contracts & Finance Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I love that the interface is easy to use. Our staff is able to quickly find registrants; our attendees are able to easily register and as an admin I can pull reports, cross reference attendees and print badges with ease. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I wish there were a few more options like a registration open date/time. Sometimes we set up for an event that has an accounted "registration open" date/time and we have to manually come in right at that time to open the event, which can be a hassle. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have been able to register people quicker and easier than with past software and we have especially liked the mobile check in/onsite check in options. ### 47. Great Product / Sporadic Customer Service **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I like that there are some great customization opportunities, but without having a great background on the product we aren't always sure if we are using them correctly. I like that there are training opportunities and have found that quite helpful, but they tend to repeat themselves and difficult questions aren't answered in real time. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** I dislike that the e-touches university platform was launched and then tapered off. I'd like to really learn how to utilize the product in more real-life applications and not just how my company has been able to make it work. Customer service is sporadic. Sometimes they are kind and helpful and sometimes they are flustered with your questions. **Recommendations to others considering Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri):** If you want something really pretty with drag and drop features, etouches ins't that. if you want a robust system with customization capabilities then etouches is your platform. If eventbrite and other simple systems aren't cutting it you need to make the move to something that can meet the needs of processional clients. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main business problem we are solving is being able to offer our clients an inclusive registration portal with great capabilities. ### 48. E touch **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Ease of use it ahs been adapted by our broker dealer **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Inability to link to other outside sources **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Compliance and regulations require at least an annual contact with clients - this helps us track the contacts and notifies us if we are missing anyone. ### 49. So far, so good!!! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bill R. | ATC Spotter, Sports, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** With this being my first year using eTouches for my organization, there is an expected steep learning curve. Not so with eTouches. It's design is very intuitive and lends to getting started and feeling like you are accomplishing something very quickly. Additionally, when you do run into an issue, the support team is very quick and thorough in getting back to you. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Being a newer company, there are some features that one might expect that are not fully functional yet. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** With the shut down of my previous event organization software, eTouches has stepped right in and provided more than what we had in the past. ### 50. The best we've tried **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David A. | Owner/Partner, Events Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2017 **What do you like best about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** Registration forms are very easy to setup with eReg. Event websites are easy too with their eHome product. Their customer service team is outstanding and there is rarely ever a hold to get live support. They also offer live-reports that your clients/customers can see anytime. That feature alone has save countless hours. **What do you dislike about Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri)?** The eBooth system is a bit more complicated, but it that just might be my proficiency with their system because in the end it did the job. **What problems is Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am managing many events from one central system. I have save a lot of time from other registration systems we have worked with. ## Stova (Formerly Meetingplay & Aventri) Discussions - [Is it secure to have my event data hosted in the cloud?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-it-secure-to-have-my-event-data-hosted-in-the-cloud) -
