EventMobi vs. Greater Giving

EventMobi is not ideal when you have 1,000+ clients joining because it is not a super popular platform that people are used to navigating, I've found.

Greater Giving is well suited for an organization that is looking to save money on their event software and need a full service solution. It is not as sophisticated as others on the market, but it will allow you to get everything you need done for a reasonable price. This is meant to be used by nonprofit event professionals.

• The format is super easy to use.
• There is on-line chat provided whenever you have any questions. They answer almost immediately.
• There really isn't a limit on how much information can be added.
• The alerts are easy to use and go out immediately. You can also pre-program them.

Incentivized

• Greater Giving is very user-friendly for both staff and volunteers
• Greater Giving sales and receipt generating features are well received by the guest at our event
• Greater Giving provides excellent customer support - in particular, their "night of" event support

• Connectivity is a major issue while attending.
• Registration process can be eased.
• No option of capturing some information & converting the imp topic into Note.

• Love to see more places to log expenses, so you can run a total report of net income.
• It's often a bit wide for my screen, which I can work around.

Greater Giving is very intuitive. It’s easy to set up in the backend and change as needed. Anytime we couldn’t figure something out on our own, our customer service representative was always available and super helpful!

Online support was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had (I would give them a 1). Phone support and implementation support were very nice and knowledgeable.

There are quite a few interesting option such as :- 1) easy to use on both ends (user and organizer. 2) Attendees are able to use one platform for everything onsite - viewing the agenda & presentations. 3) live polling, Q&A, and session evaluations etc. 4) Empower attendees & sponsors to connect, book appointments, chat and meet 1:1 or in groups, in-person or online with built-in video meetings.

We currently use Eventbrite for our pre-event ticket and sponsorship sales as they have a much more streamlined webpage that is customizable, they allow us to pass on the fees to our purchasers, AND they do not charge an annual fee on top of the processing fees. However, they do not have the ability to let you swipe a credit card in advance - you need a membership to Bidding for Good to do so. We tried using Eventbrite and Bidding for Good for only 1 event before we switched back to Greater Giving. Neither platform allowed you to send out tax receipts and the on-site event management was subpar compared to the ease of Greater Giving.

• We had an over 83% user adoption in the first year of use. Our exhibitors have reached a greater number of attendees and we've been able to engage students in ways that we haven't been able to in the past.
• The mobile app, paired with a greatly scaled down version of the paper program have cut our program budget in half and we are able to provide much more timely and accurate information to attendees.

Incentivized

• Having one system that can manage online donations, ticket purchases, online auction, donor tax letters, etc. has created efficiency for my org.
• Reports are flawed and lack of data integration with other systems causes me to do a lot of unnecessary manual work.
