    Ellen Valdez, CMP
    Event Manager at Platinum XP (Events Services, 11-50 employees)
    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.

    Vice President of Operations at Well-Assembled Meetings & Associations (Education Management, 1-10 employees)
    Chose Whova
    Whova apps are okay (not great and not a dismal failure) and have functionality similar to CrowdCompass. Whova is a little more advanced in some ways than CrowdCompass because of its "one agenda delivered to the website/mobile app" philosophy. CrowdCompass was actually …
