	Webex Events (formerly Socio)
Considered Both Products	Cisco Verified User Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) We may make the switch to Zoom at some point because their new events product is very nice. And the brand recognition of Zoom is helpful for adoption as well. But we stay with Webex Events for now because we are a bit all in on it as it's where we run all of our events. Incentivized Helpful? Haylie Taylor Learning and Development Manager in Professional Services at California Teaching Fellows Foundation (E-Learning, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) The Webinar experience from Zoom to Webex Events is a night and day difference. With Zoom our team would experience glitching and delays in audio/video, whereas with Webex Events, we would not. The only delay would be in the chat, as it would need time to catch up by a few … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) WebEx Events has the same functionality as many other platforms, but with a more affordable price tag. I have also found it to be more intuitive and easy to use on the user side. I don't have experience on the administrative side with other platforms but we have been very … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) Webex events has proved to be more stable and more accessible while allowing us to keep all the security layers in place. The fact that a person connecting to our trainings from the other side of the globe doesn't need to get his work computer prepared to assist, just his work … Incentivized Helpful? Nick Orlowski Director of School Leadership at CS Partners (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) Webex Events stood out because of the feature allowing for easy sign-on with Google accounts. Our schools use Google accounts for staff email, so this made registration and app access fairly easy. We received very few messages requesting assistance with registration or app … Incentivized Helpful? Mynelly Perez Assistant Director of Communications and Event Marketing in Product Management at Huntington's Disease Society of America (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) Webex Events (Socio) is more conducive to larger meetings and networking. Guidebook served its purpose when our convention was on a smaller scale, and we didn't need additional functionality. Now that we have grown to a 1,000+ meetings, we need to have those additional features … Incentivized Helpful? Bri Jones Senior Manager, Marketing in Marketing at Lev (Information Technology & Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) Socio was the most affordable, has a great team, and they're super easy-to-use. It's a comprehensive tool with a ton of capabilities, but we didn't feel like we were overpaying for a ton of bells and whistles that we wouldn't use. Incentivized Helpful? Carter Halliday Marketing Manager in Marketing at BAULED ALBANIA (Retail, 201-500 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) I have had an opportunity to use BlueJeans Meetings before we switched to Webex Events. The main difference that I have discovered is that Webex Events has more conferencing features and less costly as compared to others. It has modern features that helps the user in preparing … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) I did thorough research with about 6 other companies before deciding on Webex Events. This included multiple Zoom calls/demos on the product, free trials to try them out, etc. the prompt, and excellent customer service were very noticeable to me. They were very helpful and … Incentivized Helpful? Jason Staker Project Manager in Marketing at Elite Digital (Marketing & Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) My experience with Webex Events has been the best and every event that we plan and execute with this tool is implemented successfully. The features that are set up in this product are simple and any member joining our meeting finds a simple process. The data dashboard gives us … Incentivized Helpful? Kunnath Rahul Software Engineer in Information Technology at Accenture (Information Technology & Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) WebEx Events has more features and better UI than other event platforms. It has good analytics options and good customer support. It also has lot of features in messaging and meeting. Gamification is good and attendee can have profile with lot of options to have information. … Incentivized Helpful? Megan King Event Coordinator in Marketing at ON Advertising (Marketing & Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) We have used multiple virtual event platforms in the past, as well as trialed several. We ultimately decided on Webex due to the aesthetics of the website, the incredibly easy build-out process, the 24/5 support, the user-friendly front-end interface, the multiple ways to … Incentivized Helpful? Octavia A. Thompson Project Manager, My Schools Newark in Product Management at New Jersey Children's Foundation (Non-profit Organization Management, 1-10 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) Functionality and the ability for people that may not be very tech-savvy to use it was very important and Socio was that platform for my organization and what we needed. Incentivized Helpful? Heba Al-Hassan Student Assistant at Wayne State University (Mechanical Or Industrial Engineering, 1-10 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) It was a close call, but the deciding factor was the unmatched support we got with Socio. At Hopin, we would have to pay thousands extra to have support from their team (with building the site, external and internal questions, linking registration, etc). With Socio, we had … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) By far, Socio offered the greatest value... functionality compared to cost. It was a no brainer! Socio also won the day with customizable and pre-assigned schedules, which save our attendees quite a bit of time! We also appreciated the opportunity to upgrade to the white label … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) Guidebook is more suited for an in-person event, but Socio is more feature-rich. Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Marshall Activation Specialist & Academic Liaison in Customer Service at Simio LLC (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) I was not the one who decided to use Socio but we have used another provider last year which was no where near as good. I am not sure who it was, I'm sorry! Incentivized Helpful? Eric Thut Executive Director in Corporate at Netroots Nation (Political Organization, 1-10 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) Socio was the only one who was able to meet its promise to connect to our website and perform as hoped. Their customer service far surpasses the others but they also were price competitive. Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Wagner Marketing Consultant in Marketing at Mithell Grocery (Consumer Goods, 201-500 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) We didn't consider any other platforms. Once I came across Socio I knew it was the perfect fit for our event's goals. We had a very short time frame for getting our virtual event set up and the Socio team jumped right in and was SO helpful at getting us up and launched in two … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) Socio offers more features for attendees, admins, speakers and sponsors which we didn't find with other companies. Incentivized Helpful? Lindsay Adams Social Media Strategist in Marketing at Formstack (Computer Software, 201-500 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) I, unfortunately, was not a part of the vetting process so I'm unable to fairly rate it against other products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) I was not part of the decision to use this as our platform for the event. Incentivized Helpful? Teri Jakob, CMP, CMM Manager, Special Events and Partnership Giving at UPMC Pinnacle Foundation (Non-profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Webex Events (formerly Socio) I like OneCause, but it is lacking in the ability to engage my attendee. I use the donation and silent auction links within my Socio account to tie it all together. The event platform area of OneCause is not enough to keep my guests engaged. When I added Socio to my events, my … Incentivized Helpful?
