Considered Both Products
ThunderTix
Chose ThunderTix
Our former system morphed into some other company I have not kept up with. They were costly, inattentive and flat out tried to back-charge us thousands of dollars. I really haven't looked back and am ridiculously loyal to ThunderTix
Chose ThunderTix
AudienceView has some of the oldest and least efficient user interfaces I have ever seen. Theres 5 different websites for the same account to access different things that are all interlinked and need to be accessed together. Ticket Spice charges a higher per ticket cost for …
Chose ThunderTix
I have looked at Event Brite. I have looked at a number of others, who I do not wish to list. I actually thought that most have a lot to offer and are probably great, but none fit us the way that Thundertix does. It would take a hell of a sales pitch to take us away.
Chose ThunderTix
Thundertix may not have all of the features as something like eventbright or bands in town, but the amount we are saving daily makes up for some of the features that may not be present. We are a small intimate venue so Thindertix is the best fit for our organization.
Chose ThunderTix
We felt ThunderTix was easier to use not to mention lower in cost to us and to our patrons.
Zoom Events & Webinars
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
I prefer Zoom Workplace for the UI. Teams is buggy and there's a lot more lag moving around the platform and call options. It has a better messaging system for sure but calling aspect is less than desirable.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
Better analytics, better for large numbers of people and hosting events like webinars. The quality of the video, in my opinion, is better on platforms like Teams. Maybe this is because of the volume of people that are logged in at once.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
-Much better sound system and can drown out outside noises much better
-More user friendly and easier to understand
-Better picture options
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
Our IT department evaluates this.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
Best features are available for free of cost. it is well suited for our business and all, so we opt this as our primary source
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
No comparison. Hopin was very hard to use, did not offer much support, and cost 2 times the amount!
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
The combination of superior ease of use, relative affordability of a license, high participant volume, rich feature set, custom branding capabilities, excellent audio/video codecs, lean resource usage, and studio production features.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
We moved away from MS Teams due to several factors:
1)The ability to have a calendar reminder pop up for the upcoming webinar.
2)The ability to have Zoom automatically send a customized one hour reminder email to everyone who registered.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
Zoom Webinars provides a platform to address a larger audience with ease. It provides clear audio and video. Features are better for conferences and lectures when compared to Skype.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
I've had limited contact with Whova and Hopin, but I've got clients who have looked at them in detail for events. After hearing my guidance on proper licensing of Zoom Events and training on Zoom Events editing and configuration, they've all been very pleased with going the …

the ease of use of Zoom is better - everyone seems to be familiar with Zoom and not necessarily the other two.

Zoom is much better than its peers. It has superior functionality, is much more intuitive to use on a daily basis, and is much more reliable than the previous products that we have used. Zoom has also been advocated for extensively by our students and faculty due to its …

Google Meet does not provide breakup rooms and does not have a user-friendly interface. Google Meet does not have the strict admin controls that Zoom Video Webinar provides. Zoom Video Webinar has been widely accepted and most of our clients use it. The price for the premium …
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
I have also used Video connect for doctors' appointments and although it has its pros as well, the Zoom seems much more user-friendly. I am not too familiar with whether or not the platform allows for as many users to all be part of the same conference or what kind of costs it …

[In my opinion,] Zoom [Events] is more stable, more flexible, and more friendly than these [other] products.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
Zoom Video Webinar is one of the simplest platforms for video conferencing. You do not require [an] account to join a meeting and you do not need to install the app as it can also be used on the web browser. The functions are clear and straightforward, one of the most …

Microsoft teams has some performance issues. It lags many times while working with it and also it doesn't have a optimized recording capabilities. But it performs well in collaboration with participants with feature like Quizzes, assignments, meeting notes etc. MS teams comes …
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
Zoom is more reliable than others tools we have used and has less issues for our customers.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
We find Zoom Video Webinar to be the most user-friendly platform, compared to the ones that we have tested for business use.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
We used Adobe Connect for about a year. The caliber of the recordings was lower than that of Zoom Video Webinar. Also, managing a space was more complicated than with Zoom. Granted, that was 6 years ago now that we stopped using it, but that was our experience at the time.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
I'm not familiar with any of Zoom's competitors, but this seems to be a popular program in the business world, and I haven't heard anyone have any serious problems with it. Overall, it's definitely helpful and worth the money.

Likelihood to Recommend
It is the cheapest and easiest to use platform, especially when compared to Ticket Spice and AudienceView. Ticket Spice is full of microtransactions and AudienceView's user interface is decades old and completely inefficient. Thundertix is easy to use and the prices are reasonable for ticket sales and supplemental packages for your account.

I had an issue with my calendar syncing to Zoom Workplace for a while, that was annoying, but it resolved itself someway. Maybe an update. The invite feature is week when in a call, my team never receives them, I manually always have to send a link. I also do not get Zoom call notifications so I am late to meetings often. Too much work to manually find that feature, wish it was a default setting like Teams. I prefer Zoom Workplace because I think it works faster, is smoother, and I prefer the video settings UI over other platforms. Everyone else makes it too complicated to change backgrounds or blur as necessary. The adjustment for low light is also a huge win.

Cons
  • We pay a premium for the over the phone customer service. Thundertix is at such a good price point it’s worth it to pay the extra for this service. Their online customer service s great, but it can be difficult to get your point across sometimes without talking to someone on the phone.
  • Thundertix does not currently have any text message features in place. I hope to see that in the future.
  • Thundertix has many features and it can be difficult to utilize all of the features because there are just so many and they aren’t all intuitive.

  • I will we could add registration disclaimer language to the Webinar templates.
  • Some of the customization and setup features are difficult to find.
  • I would like to add someone to help me run webinars without paying for them to have their own webinar platform. We should be able to buy one platform and both of us log into it and setup and run webinars from it.

We will be renewing with Zoom as long as it continues to meet our needs for client and lead outreach needs in a robust manner. With little error and an easy to use interface, Zoom has met our needs and exceeded our expectations. The cost is right and with a short learning curve, Zoom has been an easy decision to make and maintain.

Support Rating
They are quick to respond to both calls and email. They also have a robust online set of documentation and tools that offer the possibility of finding your own answer. But, even if you don't use it, ThunderTix never asks the "did you check our online resources" questions. They never complain about emails or calls. They are there to help and do a fantastic job!

Zoom is a good option compared to these other softwares as it is more universally accepted. The advantage of this is that most people use Zoom, making it easier to arrange a call with external stakeholders. Microsoft Teams is often very unreliable, and Zoom seems to work more consistently compared to the other options.
