Considered Both Products	Arlo Verified User Anonymous Chose Arlo Arlo is great for home office video monitoring. Meraki is more geared toward enterprise. Both work equally well for what they are designed for but Meraki has more advanced features that businesses might need. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Arlo Im still comparing and so far Synology is a better choice for its clarity and ease of use. Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Duersch Chief Operating Officer/Owner Chose Arlo It came down to several business associates who provided a strong referral. I truly believe in networking and using the experiences of others to help avoid costly mistakes. Once the product arrived it was packaged well and contained very easy instructions. The products are … Incentivized Helpful?	CrowdCompass Marissa Wagoner Senior, Registration Solutions Analyst Chose CrowdCompass It has been a while since I have used a tool other than CrowdCompass for app builds. However, when I did previously use a variety of tools, I often felt that CrowdCompass had better functionality and integration opportunities than the other tools. Attendee management and … Incentivized Helpful? Bradi Stocks Specialist, Field Management Chose CrowdCompass CrowdCompass is for just the app features whereas Cvent Event Management has all the features in one. Incentivized Helpful? Michelle Curtis Travel and Events Specialist Chose CrowdCompass We did not look to other mobile applications when purchasing CrowdCompass as we were also purchasing Cvent registration. We liked that the two products integrated which meant we only needed to upload data once. Incentivized Helpful? Amber Swanson Attendee Engagment Specialist Chose CrowdCompass We currently use both. Both products are similar in the way we need to use them. The reason for using both is for the two different registration platforms they each are connected with. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass I have only used CrowdCompass for apps so I don't have much to say on other companies. We did look at DoubleDutch last year but decided to stay with CrowdCompass. And then they bought DoubleDutch so ultimately it was a good decision. There were some good features in DD that … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass We haven't used any other product like CrowdCompass. Incentivized Helpful? AD Anna Damewood Director of Membership and Conference Programming Chose CrowdCompass CrowdCompass offers a lot more in terms of networking, sponsorship, and gamification. We also would not have been able to go without printed materials is we had used Sched. The return on investment for using CrowdCompass, even though it was more expensive, made switching to the … Incentivized Helpful? Megan Yulee, CMP Meeting Planner Chose CrowdCompass DoubleDutch definitely had a more robust social platform. Allowing us to see who liked posts on the activity feed and easier sharing externally. However, CrowdCompass excels in overall look/feel and ability to customize details. The appointment feature has also been critical … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass Core-apps is a little buggy and doesn't work super well. We only use it for our Annual Convention because they are the only app vendor that can handle our thousands of sessions and hours of programming that we need to display on the app. Otherwise, CrowdCompass is superior in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass I don't recall the platform we used before Crowd Compass—some small startup I believe. I've not reviewed any other platform. Incentivized Helpful? BV Beth Vriesen Director, Support Services Chose CrowdCompass We primarily utilize Crowd Compass due to Cvent integration. We are a robust user of Cvent, which makes Crowd Compass very easy to build out and have all the registration information for attendees. Incentivized Helpful? Jim Sherman Technical Conference Developer Chose CrowdCompass There were 2 apps that got an "A" grade, CrowdCompass and Follow Me. CrowdCompass's finance model was more tolerable as a vendor fee than the revenue-share model for Follow Me. All of the others had significant deficiencies by comparison. At the time, CrowdCompass was one of … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass NA Incentivized Helpful? JB Janelle Buckley Conference Coordinator Chose CrowdCompass We have not used anything else, and don't want to! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass We selected CrowdCompass because of the cost, and an effort to ease the legwork on the planning side. We had a registration system prior to CrowdCompass, but it did not offer an onsite app. We used CrowdCompass at an industry event and felt it was perfect for our event. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass We currently use Cvent Event Management and it works well to use them together or integrate them. I prefer not to use social tables, another Cvent program, because it is often times much more simplified if creating on your own. I think CrowdCompass is a great mix of … Incentivized Helpful?

Jessica LOPES Event Manager Chose CrowdCompass Compared to Whova, CrowdCompass offered me way more functionalities even if not all of them were useful for me at the beginning.

Jennifer Wenger Business Technology Specialist Chose CrowdCompass None at this time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass Crowdcompass is a pretty solid tool. The integration with Cvent does not require any technical resources, it is literally clicking a few buttons which is a must for us. It has really helped to cut down on the build time by not having to re-create all of the content—really … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass Very similar, now that Cvent owns QM as well, im sure they will soon be integrated. Incentivized Helpful? RJ Rachel Jones Field Marketing Manager Chose CrowdCompass The ability to integrate with CventFlex registration was amazing compared to the lack of that functionality with Eventmobi. The product was intuitive for our attendees and looked sleek and professional. It was great to have the polling functionality within the app and have … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose CrowdCompass Crowdcompass integrates with Cvent, our event management platform. It is fairly easy and automatic.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Excellent for home security and monitoring in areas with strong WiFi signals. Excellent for mounting cameras with a lot of mounting options. Wireless is good with a long battery length before charging is needed. If there is a weak WiFi signal like at a cabin or in remote areas it is less appropriate. Incentivized Kevin Duersch Chief Operating Officer/Owner Read full review	CrowdCompass was the best part of Cvent each time I used it, from the ease of use to the customer service and handholding. I would recommend it for anyone using Cvent Event Management for an in-person event. I know Cvent just rolled out their virtual event hub though, so for virtual and hybrid events that are employing the Cvent family of tools, I would probably say CrowdCompass is unnecessary.

Pros	It records everything Sends notifications App is easy to use Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Ease of use for the planner. CrowdCompass is an app that allows our onsite event managers to quickly and easily make changes to the agenda times and locations or send push notifications/alerts to attendees. Ease of use for the attendee. User error is minimal with CrowdCompass. Download instructions are simple and clear. The use of icons within the app makes for a simple user experience. Customer support. Our CrowdCompass support team has been phenomenal! They're always able to assist with any questions or with helping us find new ways to make our experience even more positive. Incentivized Jaime Halteman Associate Partnership Development & Events Manager Read full review
Cons	The camera battery life could be improved although it is pretty good. Products are expensive. Incentivized Kevin Duersch Chief Operating Officer/Owner Read full review	Event apps are becoming consolidated into one platform app that contains events from all the clients who use it. No branding of your own app with your own name and your attendees having to download a third-party app with events other than just yours available in it.

Usability	No answers on this topic	From the build perspective, its very simple and intuitive. You can either go basic or dig in and provide some interesting features and functions to provide a well-rounded event app experience. From the user perspective, its easy to use and navigate the app, plus the ability to interact and engage is a huge bonus Incentivized Bouran Qaddumi National Field Trainer Read full review

Support Rating	I have only had to contact them one time, and they were responsive and professional. It is difficult to give a rating on this unless you actually have an issue. This is the reason for a 9 out of 10. I can not give a perfect rating if I never had an opportunity to truly experience something. Incentivized Kevin Duersch Chief Operating Officer/Owner Read full review	Once we paid for our apps, I felt like I was left to learn on my own. There are plenty of Help articles available, but no training sessions. I'm a visual learner and having to poke around and use trial and error to build the apps took way too much valuable time away from other parts of my job. It was frustrating and I brought it up with my CrowdCompass contact, but was told that they don't provide any training sessions and if I had questions I should refer to the Help articles or call support.

Alternatives Considered	Im still comparing and so far Synology is a better choice for its clarity and ease of use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	CrowdCompass is the only mobile app that we have used or looked at. They are on the pricey side, but their integration with Cvent makes the cost worth it. With any other mobile app, we would have to either re-enter the event details or pay to have a custom API created Incentivized Pamela O'Connor, CMP Director of Education & Events Read full review
Scalability	No answers on this topic	works great no matter what type of program or how many people attending Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	It's been positive overall using Arlo. They seem to respect privacy more than their competition. Haven't had any issues with the models we use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It's had a positive impact financially because it integrates with Cvent. It's a much quicker process to build and design, saving staff hours of work. Unlike our old app system, we have more control over the content of this app. We can make our own edits and additions without depending on external people to make those for us.
