Considered Both Products	Aventri Megan Baak Operations Manager Chose Aventri We loved CVENT and DoubleDutch, but it was much easier to have all the modules we needed in one platform, which happened to be Aventri. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Aventri I have only gone through demos of other products as we switched over from a custom product prior to Aventri. The biggest reason we selected Aventri is the malleability of the product, along with their amazing customer support. Their pricing is also extremely competitive, and … Incentivized Helpful? Patrick Reilly, CMP Meeting Planner Chose Aventri I have not used CVENT but I know about them. They are double the price of Aventri and offer the same type of product. They have more integrations (like lead sourcing), however. Incentivized Helpful? Fran Rickenbach President Chose Aventri eTouches was selected for the integrated package, lower cost per registrant, no limitations on web pages, availability of exhibit sales module. It can handle the complexity of our client programs very easily. eTouches tells us we are "power users ;-)". Incentivized Helpful? Bill Reger Webmaster Chose Aventri SignUp4 was our previous service and performed well. It wasn't until after it shuttered that we realized how much more could be provided. Cvent (which absorbed SignUp4) provided many of the old solutions but at a significantly higher price. In the end, it seemed more suited … Incentivized Helpful?	Cvent Event Diagramming Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming There are other CAD systems used by my employer. This brings more to the table with allowing us to seat attendees it is not only a CAD program, it seats attendees so we can see who has checked in and who has not. That is something the other CAD systems cant even touch. Incentivized Helpful? Lesley Irminger Events Manager, External and Sponsored Events Chose Cvent Event Diagramming It's accurate - everything else I used is merely a template. Without the accuracy it's all a guess, the accuracy has allowed me to maximize our spaces to fit a client's needs! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I have not used another software Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming It has similar tools that MeetingMatrix has, but the Collaboration, or allowing vendors access is the feature that I appreciate the most that Cvent Event Diagraming offers that MeetingMatrix did not have. It is also easier to save as a PDF to print and email a version to … Incentivized Helpful? MH Megan Hackney-Demirci Graduate Student Chose Cvent Event Diagramming None Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming It's the most comprehensive tool to stay organized, and on top of everything, when planning for large or small events. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I believe my organization has evaluated Eventbrite in the past. I'm not too familiar with Eventbrite and if it is similar to Cvent Event Diagramming. Overall, Cvent Event Diagramming seems rather advanced and a unique type of software. We have had such a great experience with … Incentivized Helpful? LG Laura G Marketing Manager Chose Cvent Event Diagramming N/A Have not used any others. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming It’s nice because we can use visuals with social tables and easily see our event in front of us. We selected this program because it is the easiest to use. Once you learn how to use it, you can really create a floor plan for any of your spaces and venues. Incentivized Helpful? MF Monique Frankfort Destination Sales Executive Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I have also used another event diagramming software in the past, Meeting Matrix. I believe that program just created simple diagrams that you could export and send to meeting planners. Cvent Social Tables has a much more robust functionality--more than just diagrams. The … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming Cvent Social Tables is easier to use and has second to none customer service. Overall, we found that social tables provides a more lifelike, realistic depiction of the space, which is key when organizing massive show floors. It is also easier to show why certain booths are … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming N/A Incentivized Helpful? Ruslana Milikhiker, CEM Conference & Event Manager Chose Cvent Event Diagramming A2Z Floor Plan Developer is similar to Cvent Social Tables, but I think Social Tables is a bit more interactive. There are more options than just building a floor plan, you can actually assign sponsors, build the AV portion of the event, and color code the floor which is very … Incentivized Helpful? Gabrielle Boggs Regional Association Sales Manager Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I have used other floorplan platforms before, but Cvent has more options and is much more user friendly. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming We haven't found any. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming A specific tool designed for industry requirements and isn’t a generic off the shelf tool. Designed by and for event professionals. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming This is the only program that I have used for room layouts. Otherwise, I would find a manual way within Word. Incentivized Helpful? Ashley Peacock, CVP Senior Event Services Manager Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I have used two other types of event diagramming software previously, including Optimum Settings ii and Meeting Matrix. Both were extremely dated, and the programs looked like they still lived in the late 1990s despite being used in the 2010s. OSGi was out of business and had … Incentivized Helpful? NH Nicole Hayford Executive Meeting Manager Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I have not used other products like Cvent Social Tables. We used to make floorplans using PowerPoint. We would use the general outline of the room with circles and squares. Worked almost just as well as social tables, and it was easy for the client to make changes without … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming Caterease is what our team uses, and while it's suitable for putting together menus, it lacks the broad logistics/calendars and timelines that I've seen with Cvent Social Tables.

NF Nicholas Faulkenberg Operations Manager Chose Cvent Event Diagramming Apptha Marketplace Incentivized Helpful? NF Nicole Federico Meeting Coordinator Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I have never created a floor plan in Cvent Social Tables directly - is it even possible? I think a benefit for Cvent Social Tables would be to create badges via an attendee list, or is it possible, and I don't know about it? Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming The level of training required in Cvent Social Tables is minute compared to a more sophisticated program like Vectorworks or AutoCad 360. We can get what we need completed in a fraction of the time. The ability to plan ahead and rely on Social Tables in doing so is a real … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming In my opinion, Cvent Social Tables is the most user-friendly platform for building floor plans. They also partner with so many venues--that makes it helpful to use. The other platforms listed are more helpful if you are building something like a set from scratch, but take much … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Aventri	Cvent Event Diagramming
Likelihood to Recommend	I believe Aventri has a big learning curve, so if you are short on time, I would recommend hiring someone who already has experience. We had a few months, but making changes took a while because only two staff members had time to figure out and learn the system. I don't think the website is very user-friendly, but I don't think it's so hard that the average worker cannot learn it. We happened to be short on time so learning the system was an added stress that would not normally be there. Incentivized Adriana (Adri) Luna Member Services Associate Read full review	It's the best software I've used. It allowed me to collaborate on a huge event with multiple stakeholders to ensure the main planner understood the venue and capacity issues. It's also allowed me to realize the scope of venue needs and abilities. Very helpful in visualizing a space Incentivized Lesley Irminger Events Manager, External and Sponsored Events Read full review
Pros	Manages class size limits very well. Provides information for hotel booking and transfers so that all this information is in one record. Unlimited number of pages for the website is invaluable - we looked at other programs with only 4 pages for the website and that just isn't enough for our clients. Incentivized Fran Rickenbach President Read full review	Scaling - I love that you can scale a layout in the program, and it tends to be pretty spot on. For example, we could have 20 different measurements for a street, once we type in a single measurement the rest auto fills (and is REALLY close to accurate). Uploading - I love that you can upload images and mark all over them. Particularly, you can upload google earth images for outside festivals, and scale them accordingly. Creating - In the program you can create a diagram based on the size of the room. For example, if you know you have a 40x80 tent, you can make a custom layout and build the whole thing. Setup Templates - These templates make it easy for you to auto fill an entire room with rounds, rectangles or other formations without having to fill them all in individually. Incentivized Ellen Valdez, CMP Event Manager Read full review
Cons	Mobile app does not allow for video advertisements. The day the event is scheduled to be over in Aventri it clears from your list and it makes getting reporting and analytics difficult after the event is over. Incentivized Patrick Reilly, CMP Meeting Planner Read full review	A development that would be useful would be the ability to reorder the diagrams to a custom order in one event so that when exported as one document, they are in an order that can be customized to flow well for the meeting planner. Incentivized MF Monique Frankfort Destination Sales Executive Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Cvent Diagramming really does cover the bases for us. It's an easy to use program that anyone can figure out. It's got collaboration features so we can share with clients and they can make their own edits. Venues can send us there floorplans and send directly to us for edits. Overall: their templates, table numbering feature, measuring, scaling and shape/object tools make building floorplans easy Incentivized Ellen Valdez, CMP Event Manager Read full review
Support Rating	I had a few issues while onsite (over the weekend). The support information given to me was incorrect and I had a hard time tracking down how to get assistance while onsite (on a weekend). When you are onsite, issues are usually heightened and need an immediate response, and I didn't get that. Incentivized Patrick Reilly, CMP Meeting Planner Read full review	The support was exceptional, and they remained an arm's reach away for when we ran into any questions after we began using the tool. Overall, we experienced phenomenal customer service. We also had more than one web-based call where their team would walk us through examples and answer any questions we had. Chelsea Benge Events Software Specialist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	SignUp4 was our previous service and performed well. It wasn't until after it shuttered that we realized how much more could be provided. Cvent (which absorbed SignUp4) provided many of the old solutions but at a significantly higher price. In the end, it seemed more suited for very large events more so than the size we normally run. Thus we chose eTouches to supplant SignUp4. Incentivized Bill Reger Webmaster Read full review	It has similar tools that MeetingMatrix has, but the Collaboration, or allowing vendors access is the feature that I appreciate the most that Cvent Event Diagraming offers that MeetingMatrix did not have. It is also easier to save as a PDF to print and email a version to vendors as well Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Much more thorough reporting than previous provider. The ability for long term goal creation based on the objectives evaluated post conference. Incentivized Bill Reger Webmaster Read full review	Has saved us 10+ staff hours per event. Has streamlined our registration and check-in process, saving us an hour+ on-site, plus ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for staff and attendees. Has saved us up to $1,000+ for signature events when managing F&B budget items. Incentivized Lisa Kelley, CMP Events & Marketing Manager Read full review
