    Complete registration and reporting product

    Date: Mar 20 2024

    Summary: Cvent does what it says on the tin.
    I would recommend it for complex registration needs and reporting.

    Positive: - The reporting is second to none. It has many templates that can be used to initially build out your initial report.
    - Reports are customisable and almost anything can be reported on from the platform
    - Cvent support can assist with creating a report for something specific if you can't find it in a template or editing phase
    - Reports can be downloaded in 3 different formats including Excel
    - Registration is robust and great for complex events with many types of sessions, registration types, hotel and travel, special requirements and free text fields

    Negative: - it isn't always the most intuitive and it can be hard to find the answer to a question
    - FAQ's, support and search function does not answer specifics
    - Our own team of users seem to know more than the Cvent support team a lot of the time
    - The system lacks flags for items that are necessary for event builds

    Innovative and User Friendly

    Edited: Nov 28 2023

    Summary: Overall, Cvent is innovative and top of its class in event management software. There are obviously always improvements, but we can always rest assured that Cvent will be reliable and that any bugs that they experience are escalated quickly.

    Positive: Cvent Event Management is user friendly both for the user and for the attendee. They are constantly making improvements and taking suggestions on improvements.

    Negative: I would say that FLEX has some limitations in the build process that I would love fixed. Example: There used to be a way in Cvent registration to be able to have the guest of the primary attendee copy their flight details on the travel page and that is no longer an option.
