Bizzabo

Bizzabo provides a fantastic experience both to market your event and to facilitate networking

Vorteile:

The easy to use solution suite to organize an event (from website to ticketing): it is very user friendly and has the features you need to market efficiently the event (website, newsletter, email, contact database) and to manage it (registration, ticketing). The networking platform was a great feature: People could see who was attending, started conversations before the event and scheduled their meeting. A lot of the interactions that happened onsite was prepped by the software solution. Finally customer support was excellent.

Nachteile:

We had an issue with displaying the pictures and the bio of the participants but it was resolved by the customer support team. We also had an issue with our message coming out of the Bizzabo being identified as spam by some of our recipients.

Great event platform

Kommentare: This platform to fits all of my needs for the annual conference I plan and execute. This is my 5th year using Bizzabo and I am constantly approached by the competitors, but I can plan my budget around the cost and not worry or be surprised by hidden fees and services. I will continue to be a fan of Bizzabo.

Vorteile:

As a corporate event planner, I find this platform easy to use, has beautiful design options I can work around to make my website pop. I love the ease of use and technical support when needed. I am constantly approached by the competitors, but I can plan my budget around the cost and not worry or be surprised by hidden fees and services.

Nachteile:

There is very little to complain about, the only thing I would love to see, is an option or link to pay later via credit card.

Enjoy Bizzabo, but every platform has it querks

Kommentare: I am pleased with the company - we have signed on for another 2-years. I hope there are some major improvements to the streaming capabilities and polling/survey integration in the next few years that we can benefit from.

Vorteile:

The customer service we have received is wonderful. It feels like they are ontop of helping us solve most of our problems. The price for the product also allows us to use globally without worrying about going over on usage. I like that I am not limited by log-ins which help my team to be able to all be in the platform and others within our marketing team as well.

Nachteile:

The streaming platforms - each one is missing key features. Uploading videos, uploading a power point that allows any speaker to transition rather than just the one who uploaded. Surveys and polls not being directly in the platform almost make them useless to us - our previous platform had them pop-up right after a session which increased responses. Limitations on template features are frustrating when we are trying to create templates.

Great value for the price!

Kommentare: Overall it's been great. I am on our events team and we have had such an elevated check in process since we switched to Bizzabo at the very start of 2020. Yes, we signed the contract in February 2020 right before in person events went on hold. There have been times with software switches that have been challenging for us but after looking at other like products have decided to stay with Bizzabo.

Vorteile:

When it works, the name badge printing and easy on the spot ability to change a registrants entry information is IMO the most valuable part of Bizzabo.

Nachteile:

I wish that adding tags to a registrant or block of registrants was more streamlined, it's fine for a small event of 50 or less but with large events, adding specific tags to a block of people is very clunky.

Our worldwide event management system

Vorteile:

Bizzabo's robust capabilities but simple UX make it accessible for all event management teams. We are able to launch event websites in minutes by repurposing templates from past events. Their end-to-end solution means that we keep everything on one platform -- from point of sale to post-event communications and everything in between. Some of the my favorite features are are: Agenda Capabilities: Hybrid, on demand, virtual, and in-person options that works with third party streaming Website Builder: Drag and drop builder that also allows for HTML customization for advanced teams Registration Management: Easy list management with Stripe integration for payments We use Bizzabo to run our virtual and in-person events across the world.

Nachteile:

Looking forward to platform updates in the areas of attendee networking + engagement.
