Cvent Abstract Management vs. ScholarOne

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.

• Email notifications to reviewers and submitters
• Easy to use for submitters
• Provides a way to loop accepted presentations into the events

• Some of the custom widgets have caused the wrong information to copy over.
• Some of the speaker information was linking across submissions.
• If the same submitter made more than 1 submission, the information got switched.

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

This was already in place when I started at my organization. Because I can import or transfer the speaker info into the event management side, it’s a great option. The other two software work too but I’d have to import their info into the system instead of it being there already

• 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.
