Zoho Backstage Reviews

Summary: The general experience we have had with this platform for organizing events has been positive mainly because in this company day after day we need to manage events, it is very important for us to keep a specific count of the number of participants for each event, and previously it was quite complicated to manage all the events manually, We discovered the existence of this great platform and we really do not regret having purchased it with one of its paid plans, because we have obtained an excellent return on investment for our company and it has helped us to make sales in a concrete way within our sector. As manager of the sales sector, I have been able to plan events with clients, to convince them to negotiate with us, which means that this platform has been key to developing more sales in our company in general. I do not regret using it, weekly we make a count of the number of events planned in the various areas, from the main panel I can see the number of events organized.

Positive: Zoho Backstage is currently one of the best ways to have a correct organization in the events that you are going to schedule in the future, thus offering a fairly reliable platform for organizers and for participants of each event, both platforms work normally and help to develop a quite complete event. The things I liked the most about this platform are:

- One of the main positive features is that it has a large limit for the number of organizers or collaborators for each event, it has different plans in which there is an exact limit of collaborators and administrators for each event. I love this feature because I can enter up to more than 10 organizers for each of the events that I am developing, in this way each of them will help me manage it correctly and distribute all the information among the participants within the event.

- Another thing that I like is that this platform offers me the ability to create unlimited events, it does not matter if I have to organize more than 50 events during a month, this platform will not place any type of limit on me, because Its main feature is that it has unlimited events.

- You can enter up to more than 5000 participants for each event, it is an important feature because on other platforms that I have used you can only enter up to approximately 1000 participants, on this platform we have a fairly high limit which helps all our clients can attend all our events without any problem.

- Sending the corresponding invitations to each participant is another positive thing, because this platform helps us create a site where we can insert a payment processor so that customers can buy their ticket to attend the event, after make this payment, the ticket to enter the event is sent automatically to the email provided. This function is very important because we do not have to send the invitations manually, this entire process is carried out by the same platform.

- There is no type of commission regarding the purchase of tickets within the website that you have previously studied, after creating the website and you have inserted the payment processor, all customers will be able to make the purchase through this means, without any additional fees on your cards.

Negative: At no time have I had any problems with this platform, I currently use several Zoho services Within the company, so this platform is correctly synchronized and linked with the other services of this platform, helping the information to be transmitted and managed more easily. This platform has never given me any kind of errors, all the functions it has are developed correctly and help make the administration and programming of all kinds of events much easier. I am satisfied with the results obtained, and I hope that the prices continue to be maintained to continue using this great platform that has not given me any problems.

Summary: Zoho Backstage is a platform that is very worthwhile to start managing and creating an event from scratch, with the help of this way we have also been able to plan all kinds of meetings with our work team from across the company, this platform allows us to send a notification to employees so that they can attend that meeting, in addition, days before the meeting, that platform will send automated reminders to the main email address of your employees. I consider that the general platform is a bit difficult to learn to use, however, after learning to use it correctly, the results and benefits it generates in any company are innovative, this platform helps you plan an event from scratch, you can register everything type of sponsors in the events, you can register new collaborators to help you manage the participants and the event in general, in addition, you can create a payment page from scratch, as my innovator says using one of the templates that this platform offers you In addition, the payments for the sale of each of the tickets are received automatically on the platform, without delays, despite the fact that the commissions for each transaction are high. I consider that this platform is very beneficial and I recommend it for any type of company. Without a doubt, this platform improves the process of creating and planning events for any type of company.

Positive: Zoho Backstage is an important platform mainly because it helps us create and develop all kinds of events, with the help of this platform we can not only schedule events for specific dates, but we can also schedule meetings with our work team for dates of any month, The main feature that I like about this platform is that it fully integrates with all the contacts that we have registered within the Zoho system. This is quite satisfactory since it helps all our employees to view all the schedules within this platform without having to to configure or add new contacts or employees within it, thanks to this connectivity that it has with the main Zoho system, all employees will be able to receive updates of all the planning that we carry out. Photo of the thing I like about this platform is that it allows me to send notifications and reminders to all employees when planning a new event or a business meeting, in addition, it also allows me to send reminders and notifications to customers who have registered in our events, in this way we make sure that the participation of each of the employees or clients is not affected within the events or meetings, I really love that system of notifications and Reminders. I also love that this platform allows me to manage the total number of participants for each event or meeting, it allows me to set a limit for the number of participants for each event, that helps a lot when it comes to having a ticket sales limit for each event, I also liked that platform that allows you to create a payment page for the purchase of event tickets, this payment page is very satisfactory since it allows us to process the payment of each of the clients much faster In addition, there is no type of money withholding when receiving these payments.

Negative: The first negative feature of this platform is that currently it is a bit difficult to start using, the process of creating events from scratch and the process of creating the payment page is a complicated process, since you have to register all the methods corresponding payment on that payment page, so that your client can buy the tickets, in addition, the configuration process in Reminders and notifications is also difficult to configure, for which I recommend that the platform be used within a company that has with the ability to handle it correctly. Another of the negative characteristics of this platform is that it charges high commissions when processing each ticket sale for your events, this commission is reflected as a service charge, in this way each client must pay this additional charge within each transaction When buying a ticket for your events, I consider that this is something negative since the commission is quite high, I consider that the commission should be approximately 1% or 2% of the total amount. The last negative feature of this platform is that it does not have integration with social networks, so if you want to share information about the planning you have done for an event recently, you will not be able to, you will have to share that information in your networks. social networks manually, there is no way to send that planned event to your social networks so that your clients or followers can view this information.

Summary: Zoho Backstage has become an extremely important platform for our entire company, in this real estate company it is very important that we can manage the large number of meetings that we hold weekly, we hold these meetings with all our company staff, in order Being able to communicate and expand all our ideas easily, this platform has been key to unwrap those meetings, set the time limit of each meeting, manage the capacity of participants for each meeting, and also allowed you to set the reminders for the meeting. I am very satisfied with the services offered so far, I consider that this platform has a lot of potential to optimize the productivity and organization of a company, since it allows you to manage all the events within the same panel, all separately, you will be able to manage each event and know how is attitude how many people have attended each one of them. It is very important to have this platform implemented in the company, it will greatly facilitate the work of managing events and meetings.

Positive: Zoho Backstage is one of the Zoho platforms that we currently use in this company, in order to expand our productivity with this Zoho system. I was really fascinated with the general functionary of this platform, since it allows me to extensively manage each of the events and meetings that the metro company will have to carry out, since this real estate company is very important that we hold events and meetings on a weekly basis, to expand our services and inform our customers about what we offer. Next, I will mention the positive things that this platform has.

1.- One of the main positive things that I loved about this platform is that it has immediate connectivity with all social networks. Currently, I have more than five social networks associated with this platform, because this way I can share each of the scheduled events and scheduled meetings through our social networks, sharing this directly with our social networks helps our clients to be attentive to the creation of new events in which they can participate immediately, this connectivity is impressive, since we can report on all our social networks simultaneously, without having to do it manually and individually.

2.- Another of the things that I like about this platform is that it allows me to organize the number of sponsors that there will be within each event, usually in event meters there are more than two sponsors, all those sponsor brands and the amount of sponsorship can be registered within this platform for each event individually, since this platform offers me a session where I can manage the number of existing sponsorships in a specific event. I love this functionality, since I can have an administration and a record of the number of sponsors of our company.

3.- Another of the things that I liked within this platform is that I can create a ticket reservation page in a simple way, I can associate this page to the main page of this company, so that each one of the visitors in this web page can buy a ticket in a simple way. It is impressive how I can create a reservation page thanks to this platform, that reservation page helps to facilitate the purchase process of each one of the tickets, each client will be able to buy the number of tickets stay online, to attend each one of our separate events. I really loved the general design that I was able to give to the reservation page, it is a very good design and that helps customers easily buy each ticket here.

4.- Another of the things that I liked within this platform is that I can create personalized banners for each of the events, creating banners within this platform helps to be able to attach each banner to the event and be able to share it on social networks so that it appears that banner in the presentation of the invitation. In addition, creating banners within this platform greatly facilitates the process of creating an image for each event, each event that takes place within this platform, I can design a banner within it in a period of five minutes, and by putting together the corresponding element easily.

5.- The fifth thing that I loved about this platform is that it also allows me to create meetings, scheduling meetings is quite easy within this platform, it allows me to add the number of employees that attend that meeting, it allows me to configure automated reminders that will be sent via email to each of the participants, in addition, I can have an immediate alert for when each of the meetings starts. The meeting system within this platform has really impressed me, it has strengthened the meetings of my entire real estate company and has made the employees more responsible in attending the meeting.

Negative: Zoho Backstage left me in awe with the general functions that it has provided for our entire company, I really have no complaints about this platform, since it has provided me with all the necessary functions and tools to develop a correct event planning system and of meetings, this platform at no time has presented any type of problem, both in the version for computers and in the version for mobile devices, it has always behaved to the measure and has been carried by a main panel in which we can have an administration much more complete than on any other platform. At the moment, we do not have any type of complaint about the services offered by this platform, we are happy with all the functions offered and with the price that we have paid to use this platform in a complete way.

Summary: Zoho Backstage is the ideal platform if what you are looking for is to optimize the process of selling tickets and managing your events in the short or long term. It recommends the platform mainly for those companies that have a good capitalization to be able to afford the high commissions for selling tickets. each ticket of the events, this is a quite expensive envelope, however, it is worth a lot, the great features and functions will show that the price you are paying is adequate, although I still consider that this platform should lower the commissions charged for each sale. The general experience obtained with this platform has been simply complete, and integrated this platform with all Zoho services, for which the benefits have been much higher since we have been able to transfer all the details and information of the other events to anyone of the other Zoho services. I loved the experience I had mainly because this platform makes it very easy for me to sell our tickets, previously it was a bit complicated to sell tickets manually and keep track of it, it was quite complicated to record the details of each participant who had bought a ticket, as well as it was quite complicated to manage the dates for each of the events. This platform is a correct solution for the company as a whole.

Positive: Zoho Backstage is an excellent way or software to consider when you are looking for a platform that will help you optimize the administration of each of your events, this was the way that will allow you to manage your events on a large scale, Managing each one of the tickets that you need sell, as well as allowing you to manage the large number of participants that your event will have. The main feature that I like about this platform is that it has a function that allows you to create a ticket reservation page, this created page can be linked to your company website, you can create a ticket sales page with a built-in payment system, which will allow you to sell tickets automatically and receive the corresponding money. The second feature that I like about this platform is that it has a wide variety when it comes to using templates for the ticket sales page, you don't have to design a page from scratch, this platform provides you with a wide variety of dishes that you can use to create the ticket sales page, and make it very optimal with respect to its design. The third feature that I like is that this platform allows you to manage the participants in real time, in real time to see how many tickets you have sold, how many you have left to sell, and the data and details of each registered participant.

Negative: The main characteristic is that I need to make an improvement within this platform with respect to the high commissions that it charges when selling a ticket in an automated way, noting that the payment system that it uses is with a credit or debit card, so which, each client who needs to buy a ticket for one of our events will have to use this payment method, however, I consider that the percentage applied for each ticket payment is quite high, therefore, the sale of the ticket will turn out to be a little more expensive for our clients, I consider that the commissions and the percentage of commission that is charged for each transaction should be much lower. Another feature that needs to be improved within this platform is to add an option to view the changes of the event in real time, this function is very important since when adding several collaborators and administrators of an event, you will be able to know who has recently made a change within that event, you will have to manually ask each of your colleagues or collaborators to be aware of the changes made.

Summary: If we talk about the general experience that our entire company has had, I must admit that we have had a pretty good general experience, since in this company events of all kinds are held and the employees are in charge of holding events with respect to the area in which which is working. Within this real estate company there are several sectors, and each one of them has access to our Zoho Backstage subscription, so each one of them is able to schedule an event and manage each one of the participants for each event. We are happy with the overall experience as we are managing events without the need for high usage fees, we have paid an annual subscription to this software and are very happy with the money we have spent as we have made a good profit with the correct administration of participants for each event. Thanks to this software we can manage the planning of events through a schedule system, in which we can drag and drop each of the events on different dates, I can drag an event to another day or time with just one click. I am happy with this service and will continue to use it in my company to manage events in the long run.

Positive: In our company, it is quite essential to have a good schedule of events, since we constantly meet clients by meters and try to hold events to maximize the display of our services. One of the main things that I liked about Zoho Backstage Is that it allows me to maximize the reach of each of the events, when I make an event and schedule it for a specific day, within this platform you can make banners without having to have previous experience in design, within this platform I can design advertising and share it within my social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, it also allows me to share this event within my company website. Another thing that I liked about this platform is that it has an automation for the issuance of tickets for each participant, when a new participant registers for the event, the platform automatically generates a payment ticket to speed up the sale of the event, In addition, send this ticket to the participant's email so that they can attend the event with a code provided by the purchase of the ticket. This automation and registration of each of the participants has made it possible for me to obtain much more presence within the events. , previously we had to do this process manually, and it was quite difficult to register each of the participants, so I am very grateful that we opted for this great solution. Another thing that I also liked is that it offers me a separate section to be able to manage the attendees that will be for each event, by modifying these attendees, they will be reflected when buying the ticket, all participants will be able to see who it is they were the attendees and administrators of said event. Managing the attendees of this platform allows me to know exactly who the employees are that will support me during that event.

Negative: I really don't have any problem with this software, since I started using it in each of the business areas I have been really happy as it has performed quite well, all our events have been managed in a very pleasant way and we have not had any failures in none of them. Since I started using this platform, I must admit that I have not had any problems regarding its general functionalities, I have always had the opportunity to manage events in scale, since this software has a great capacity to manage several events in a simultaneous. The only negative factor that I see about this software is that from the mobile application it is not possible to monitor in real time all the events and the progress that each one has, it is important to highlight that this is possible from the version for computers. This negative factor is not critical for us at all, we have had a pretty good experience despite the fact that we cannot monitor an event from our mobile device.

Summary: We have really had a bit of a limited experience with the online events, since as I mentioned before, there were problems with the chat of the online events, however, it is important to highlight the excellent experience we have had for the live events, the Physical events have been able to be planned with total comfort with the help of Backstage, thanks to the calendar view I have been able to organize events for different dates without having to get confused or add several events to one date. Backstage is a very complete software, it has helped me plan events without the need to do many configurations, they just need to improve the chat for online events, to make it a perfect software. I have had a good experience, and I hope that they improve what I have previously mentioned.

Positive: In our company we carry out several events on a very constant basis, since we are a real estate company that needs to be in constant contact with future clients. Zoho Backstage has been there to help us manage the huge flow of events. What I like the most about Zoho Backstage is the view in calendar mode of all our schedules, from the calendar view I can see the dates that are already occupied by events and I can see the free dates, in addition, I can know if the collaborator quotas already they are full on a specific date. Another thing that I like about Backstage is that it sends constant alerts to those who have already subscribed to the event, our clients receive constant alerts when the date and time of the scheduled event is approaching. Finally, I really like how Backstage allows me to create online events, I can create live events and online events, both events can be easily planned from this platform.

Negative: The one feature I really don't like about Backstage is the chat it offers for online events. These online events are quite comfortable, I can add sponsors, speakers and collaborators, so that the event is more complete and has a greater participation of people in charge, however, when clients want to interact from the event chat, it is very inconvenient, this chat has a delay in displaying the message, we receive the message late even though the client has already sent it a couple of seconds ago. It would be great to be able to enjoy a real-time chat so that there is constant interaction.

Summary: Zoho Backstage has everything you need to run a successful event via a website or promotion. We use it for marketing and tracking customer events.

Positive: Easy to use and customer support is helpful.
CRM integration to pull data to import into landing pages or websites.

Negative: There is no offline version and no way to sync from the mobile version.

Summary: Zoho Backstage is a good app for non-organizers hosting an event. It offers plenty of assistant to make it worthwhile even at basic plan.

Positive: Zoho Backstage is a great even organizer 'assistant' by helping streamline event activities such as websites, setting up ticketing, managing speakers, planning sessions and more. It is good for any scale of event and offers a decent free plan enough for small office events.

Negative: Unlike most other Zoho apps, it lacks much integration with the Zoho suite which feels lacking especially when there are services it can leverage like Zoho sites.
