Eventzilla vs. Picatic

If you are an organization who is hosting a ticketed event such as a concert, a block party, a 5k fun run, or anything that may require a pre event registration / ticket purchase, this product could potentially be very useful for you! My Fraternity used Eventzilla's product for our last four events including a concert, a 5k run, and 2 golfing tournaments! Using this tool, we were able to raise significantly more money than we had from previous events. Additionally, this product was exceptionally useful for the 5k because of the amount of information we needed to collect through the registration form prior to the event. Using the Eventzilla forms, we were able to discover participants' age, gender, t -shirt size, # of registrations, phone #, email, name, etc. and provide them each with an excellent, personalized experience.

I have recommended the software to several clients that are interested in running events. Overall if you are needing to run an event, be it paid or otherwise, this tool does enable you to keep track of all that is happening and to send event reminders. The fees charged are also very reasonable and those can be passed on to the attendees if needed

• Managing registration and attendees.
• Creating landing pages, registration pages and promoting them.
• Automates waitlisting and approvals.
• Live streaming and polling.
• Internal in-built payment processor.

• Intuitive layout of the site. They have done a nice job of making the platform easy to navigate for any user using their services.
• Very responsive online service support. Whenever we have had questions in the past, some from the Picatic team was responded immediately, and were personable and professional.
• The site is versatile in that you can embed not only images but video as well which can really make a dynamic presentation for the viewer or intended audience.

Incentivized

• Customization features for emails could be improved since most are automated reminders.
• Sometimes too difficult to create a simple event with loads of choices available. Many times we simply want to create a normal event without much hassle.

As, stated before, the only thing that I found to be difficult when using this software was pointing an existing domain to the Eventzilla Registration landing page. I followed all of the steps as illustrated and I continued to experience errors when trying to navigate via the domain. I could not get in contact with support and so we chose to use the extremely long Eventzilla domain. This was not a big deal, but it would have been nice to use our own domain that we purchased

Support is adequate, but sometimes has difficulty grasping all of the pieces of a question. Once, I asked for help with a relatively technical integration that we were using to track event effectiveness, and their answer left me wondering if they even understood that the feature I was asking about even existed in their system.

Eventzilla is a budget-friendly tool and has a very dynamic pricing model. You only pay for the features you use.

Picatics site is clean, modern, and easy to navigate. There are many features and many ways to customize your event to make sure that it is exactly what we want. If your having any issues the technical teams is always ready and available to help with any questions. Picatic has been perfect for us

• We use it for internal events, so mostly our ownemployees join the events. These are usually fun events, so ROI is not expected.
• Most of the times, we are simply organizing recreational events for our employees, so it boosts the morale of the participants to have a proper organized setup for the events they attend.

Incentivized

• It had a positive impact when charging for events because the money showed up before the event which helped with cash flow for food and beverages and rental space.
• Time to set up and launch a landing page for creating events reduced from 8 hours to 3 hours once I made the switch. It was also a time saver to have the reminder emails function directly on the page as well.
