Cvent Abstract Management vs. Fluxx Grantmaker

Preparing for conferences and gatherings is a demonstrated good use for this product. Similarly, other efforts that involve many moving pieces would be well-suited- projects with a number of different participants/authors, team retreats, and situations where there is a benefit to storing and organizing information in a decentralized way where no one person needs to bear that responsibility.

Grantmaker is well suited for managing grant-making processes and records. It's not a very good tool for CRM. We are currently working with an outside vendor to design a module that will integrate with Grantmaker to help with CRM.

• Would love to add a feature that allows for more customization of invites.
• Would like a more seamless process to approve or reject speaker submissions.

• I would love to see either email or text notifications added to the platforms to remind of upcoming deadlines and tasks.
• Sometimes the data that is pulled into the visuals is not accurate and is a bit glitchy.
• Adding a real time commenting capability, like Slack, would help the team to stay in contact. This is especially important for remote grantwriters, like me.

We need it every year

Support has been great! The chat feature is phenomenal and every agent I have talked to has gotten back to me instantly with a solution, or done a fantastic follow up on where a status of an issue is. I have been very impressed with the professional demeanor and help I have gotten from Cvent support. They are even available at odd hours of the night

I have an assigned rep who is very responsive and is able to answer any questions. Other than that, the technical support has been terrible. I often don't waste time documenting bugs because I know they likely won't get fixed or even followed-up on. Instead, I search for workarounds.

I have only used Cvent's event management tools. The wide range of tools they offer has been very beneficial for our company and event planning.

Fluxx is not only more intuitive than CyberGrants, its interface is also smoother and easier. Fluxx allows proposers to enter and attach proposal information in a more appealing platform than in CyberGrants. Fluxx also retains more historic data than CyberGrants

• Our client has used Cvent Abstract Management for two years now. They saw almost a 50% increase in abstract submissions year over year.
• While the product has saved the client time in sending acceptance/rejection notices and scheduling abstracts to their event, the output of the reporting has still been an issue; a lot of manual adjusting has to take place with the data for them to utilize it properly.

• Better funding for our youth programs
• Successful garnering of unrestricted funds
• Business expansion via better staff funding
