Aventri vs. Momentus Event Management Platform

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.

I believe the strength of the system is the integration of contracts and the AR process. Companies not using a lot of contracts might not need a system this powerful.

• 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.

• Ease of use. Once configured and work flow processes are determined, users are up and running in one (1) orientation & training session. Online Knowledge Base and Video tutorials are helpful resources.
• Customization. The flexibility to customize screens, layouts, fields, etc. is a HUGE benefit. Add or hide fields based on your company needs are available at functional user level.
• Trace & Notification features. Built-in reminders or "to do" lists keep staff on track. Never miss a deadline! Email w/ full HTML, import and export features are fantastic.

• 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.

• Contracts tie to AR but not to AP in direct fashion. Some duplicate entry for payables related to contracts is required.
• Still in midst of fully upgrading to web based version 20 program. Certain areas still need to use version 19.

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.

Software upgrade to latest version and to hosted environment took longer than expected

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.

This past spring, I had the opportunity to view 25Live (web version of R25). Within 10 minutes, it was determined, 25Live was not suitable for the Event Management Operation. Most suited for the Office of the Registrar's need to book academic classrooms space for class course sections. College Net (25Live) sneak preview. - 25Live offers an Event Management Module, however, with very basic functionality. Does not compete with Ungerboeck Software functionality. - A single event in 25Live with multiple space books, are made up of multiple sub events; unable to view all space bookings on single screen. - Report options are not comparable. - Limited customization; unable to edit screen layouts or fields. - to name a few...
