CVENT Onsite Solutions - excellent for events over 400!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I utilize CVENT onsite solutions for clients that already use CVENT as their registration platform AND have over 400 attendees onsite. We can handle onsite registration up to a certain point, but anything over 400 gets sticky if we don't have a way to print badges onsite. I currently utilize CVENT Onsite Solutions about twice a year.

Pros

  • Printing capabilities - color options, advance printing, QR codes.
  • Onsite technical assistance.
  • Integrations with CVENT registration software.

Cons

  • I have had issues with them sending the correct printers in the past, but it doesn't happen often. And when they do, they ship overnight to correct the issue.
  • It's an expensive option - they tend to Nickel and Dime.
  • The app/gamification features are still not perfect. I've had several issues with games on the day of.

Return on Investment

  • Indeed, just knowing the app and CVENT has helped our ROI. We now have two fully trained staff members in CVENT (CVENT certified), which helps sell our business. Planners want someone who is full-service, and we can now offer that.
  • The onsite registration system makes our registration process go very smoothly, which, in turn, gives the attendees a positive experience.

Cvent Onsite Solutions Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my company, I use Cvent Onsite Solutions On-Arrival & Attendee Hub to make the attendee registration process run smoothly. This allows for a quick check-in, registration and badge printing process for all attendees. On-Arrival also allows for my team to edit or reprint any name badges as needed. Overall, these onsite solutions are very helpful to our program's success.

  • great support hotline for questions

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cvent Onsite Solutions at almost all in person events we run, from badge printing and checking in to the event, to scanning for participation records. We use it for meetings of between around 75 pax to 250 and occasionally far more.

  • Badge printing
  • Checking in and scanning
  • Allowing up to date data collection

Cons

  • Event in a box can have issues, but we know we can always rely on their team when issues arise
  • Scanners always default to sorting by room which is odd and can be confusing for new users

  • Clients are always impressed by the app
  • Our team trusts Cvent Onsite Solutions as a platform, and this confidence improves performance
