    We really only use Bizzabo for one client. And we use them because it's their preferred CRM.

    Chose Bizzabo
    In comparison with each of these services, Bizzabo is the only one that is customizable enough to accommodate our specific needs. Bizzabo is more of the one-stop-shop and allows us to manage our events and collateral from one universal spot. It keeps us more organized and has a …

    There is less room for design, little to no backend help, event managers not in the loop, etc.

    CVent had a lot of functionality, but it was incredibly hard to use. Had to make numerous calls to support and take a long time to get responses.

    To be honest, it's been several years since we used Cvent, so I can't remember specific points of comparison.

    Chose Bizzabo
    Bizzabo is definitely a great choice for your event tool. I don't find it as robust as Cvent, but I do find it more useful than an Eventbrite. We selected Bizzabo because of our initial support team, but they eventually moved on, which started our problems with Bizzabo. It …

    Chose Bizzabo
    We chose Bizzabo because it had the best selection of tools across logistics, planning & marketing functions.
    Incentivized
    Chose Bizzabo
    Overall, Bizzabo performed better than Cvent and Eventbrite offering the most functionality.
    Ease of use is better than Marketo and Salesforce's Pardot, however on the integration side for automation the data is very one-directional.
    Bizzabo should be used only for event …

    Chose Bizzabo
    We used all of those before switching to Bizzabo. Bizzabo is simply a better app.

    Chose Bizzabo
    The partnership we had with Bizzabo, the historical data, and the customizable features are all the reasons we stayed with Bizzabo. Bizzabo also worked with us on cost since we are a small non-profit. Certain and CVENT have been used by our association in the past and while …

    We currently use Aventri for some event registrations but like the interface of Bizzabo more. We chose Bizzabo over Cvent, Whova, and others for ease of use, customization, and pricing.
    Incentivized
    Chose Bizzabo
    At the time we selected Bizzabo, Cvent's virtual offering was not as strong. Aventri was not considered because of the complexity of implementation and we were in a time crunch.

    Chose Bizzabo
    We chose Bizzabo as we believed that it would be more successful for us than these platforms. However, we've felt this has not been the case.

    Bizzabo is a clear leader and more sophisticated than other event management platforms out in the marketplace right now. Unlike others, they continue to invest in the tool and have pretty good support. They have a decent amount of turnover within their sales and CSM …

    Cvent
    Chose Cvent Event Management
    Honestly, Cvent Event Management's registration platform is superior. The logic, setup options are far better than what the companies above have to offer. The only downfall is that it is far more expensive, and sometimes isn't needed for the most basic of registration sites.
    Incentivized
    Chose Cvent Event Management
    Some of the platforms we have used don't show up in the options available to select, but Cvent Event Management is definitely one of the most customizable and intuitive platforms we have used. They are also very consistent with their brand in the quality of the product they …

    Cvent was the only events software that could meet our needs at a price that was palatable. We have been with Cvent for over a decade and I shop around every time we come up for contract renewal just to see what's out there. Cvent hands-down is able to handle so much more …
