Eventsquid

Easy, efficient and without surprises

Kommentare: The registration tool was very efficient and I was able to create custom registration forms and collect all the necessary information from my participants in a clear and organized way. Additionally, the checkout process was simple and secure, making it easy for attendees to complete their registration.

Vorteile:

It exceeded my expectations in every way. What I liked the most about this platform is how easy and efficient it is to manage my events. From the moment I checked in, everything was very smooth and hassle-free.

Nachteile:

Even though the platform offers a lot of features, I felt it was missing a bit more flexibility in terms of customization. I would have liked to be able to further customize the registration forms and add a few extra fields based on some of my specific needs.

Makes Conference Time Easier

Vorteile:

Online registration and payment processing; event website all in one.

Nachteile:

We have some users that do struggle with registration but some of that is due to not reading the instructions thoroughly.

It does what you need to do without the fluff

Kommentare: Overall my experience has been great. I was able to accomplish what I wanted through the use of it and hope to be able to continue to do so.

Vorteile:

What this platform is at it's core is that it get's you just what you need. Building the event for the second time went much easier than the first as you learn a lot and then can use more of it's functionality that you didn't know about. As I am about to go into my third event using Eventsquid, I will be using the in person check in that we haven't used and I am looking forward to seeing another feature at work. The support for issues was good and stuck with you until the issue was resolved.

Nachteile:

Sometime the nuts and bolts aspect wasn't what we needed. If we could have customized the look of the website/phone view we would have done so. Sometime it took the help desk took a few times to get them to understand exactly what has going on and what we needed. The first day we launched registration the website went down. Unfortunately, that did show a vote of confidence in the program to my Executives which I have had to reassure that it was probably a one time deal. I could have used some extra training time after the first 6 months. It would be great to do a quick touch base with how things are going and the issues that we were having. Even 1-2 hours would be incredibly helpful without having to pay the additional money.

Eventsquid will work for you. It does for us!!

Kommentare: It has been fun, pleasant and satisfying

Vorteile:

Ease of use, good support, customizable and flexible yet robust

Nachteile:

It meets all of our needs. It is fully functioned for our virtual events

All in One Solution

Kommentare: We have had a great experience with EventSquid. We have recommended the platform to our sister regions who now use it and to others that put on events.

Vorteile:

Creating a simple event structure is very easy. I enjoy the fact that I do not have to pay ala carte for features and this platform is an all in one solution.

Nachteile:

There is a bit of a learning curve in the beginning and multifaceted events don't always work perfectly. It also does not integrate with other services like ExpoBadge.

Eventsquid makes it personal!

Vorteile:

Our organization was planning to host an event of 2,000+ attendees, and we knew we had to have a registration and management software that could keep up with our demands, especially since our event is incredibly complex. After comparing and contrasting many options, we did decide to take the plunge with Eventsquid. Its offerings, ease of use, price point, and support staff really stood out when making the final choice. In fact, the staff and leadership of the company really made the difference, compered to the other companies and options. They were patient and understanding, and always ready to help and assist us with any questions or concerns we had. You aren't just another client or just a number with Eventsquid, they make it personal from the start and for us, that made all the difference!

Nachteile:

The reporting and statistics portion of the software left a bit to be desired. A lot of information is certainly available, but customizing the reports and nailing down specific data was difficult and sometimes simply not possible, due to the limitations of the software in categorizing the stats and figures. Also, when searching for specific attendees that have registered, to make edits or gather information, the search criteria has to be entered exactly as is was entered by the attendee originally. This makes searching for some attendees not very user friendly.

Great event registration software at a reasonable price!

Kommentare: This is our second year using Event Squid. FitnessFest Conference & Expo is a conference for fitness professionals. We have about four days and 8 "tracks/seminars or workshops" going on at once when we hold our events, not to mention an expo and a rather robust and sometimes complicated schedule and payment options. We have a very unique service and need a variety of things. FitnessFest entertained and researched several platforms before arriving at ES. I am a leery and picky person, and I can not tell you how thrilled I am at the decision we made to choose and to stick with ES! It does so many things that we are amazed with. Just coming off a Virtual event and now going into our second LIVE event with ES, we are very pleased we made the choice. In this ever changing world of technology, ES is constantly working to create more products and to improve systems. And perhaps top of our list of being pleased, is the customer service that [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] in particular has given us, as a team. This has been a big learning curve for us and we appreciate [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] taking the time to meet with our team (more than once or twice!) to answer questions and to explain things until we understood them.

Vorteile:

EventSquid is very user-friendly. We are able to capture all the information needed from our attendees. Integration with Paypal was great for us to process payments quickly and easily. EventSquid has made our jobs much easier than in the past. The reports generation is a huge plus. We can see so much data across mulitple workshops without having to do it manually. It has helped us save so much time!

Nachteile:

We feel we could have used a bit more training at the beginning to really utilize all the features of the software. We have a lot of complicated scenarios (mostly of our own doing) so we need to better understand how EventSquid can work best in those instances. Also sometimes certain actions feel redundant so might be good to be able to activate a function in multiple places. Lastly some things you have to push SAVE and somethings are autosaved. Would prefer autosave throughout the whole site.

Eventsuid is still rocking it!

Kommentare: Overall, we love Eventsquid! The price is fair and we are looking forward to renewal!

Vorteile:

Integration was easy, the team at Eventsquid is very responsive to questions. Over the last year, we have learned several features that we didn't know the software was capable of and we plan on renewing for another year with them.

Nachteile:

Nothing about Eventsquid is difficult. However, the exhibit booth layout section can get confusing if you don't know what you're doing. The E.S. team is always available for us to ask questions & get ideas on the best way to use certain features.

We just finished our first year and signed up for year 2!

Kommentare: We processed over 1500 registrations with very little complaints and system issues.

Vorteile:

The easily customizable forms, ability to quickly contact registrants, payment processing, dashboards, reports, and pricing are all great features of Eventsquid

Nachteile:

I would like to be able to pull a report to look at a year's worth of data. We would like an opening for item, when selecting the type of event. We noticed that it doesn't appear that you can add sponsorships with an event.

Eventsquid Works for Us!

Kommentare: We selected Eventsquid during the pandemic to helps us manage a virtual suicide prevention training course that takes place over two half-days. It has done a great job integrating with Zoom so we can deliver this critical course in a safe, secure environment. The ability to customize the participant registration questions have been key in our ability to study the success of the training in providing critical tools for the people we serve. All interactions with Eventsquid have been professional and customer service-oriented.

Vorteile:

Eventsquid is a very robust product with a lot of features and their support has been quite responsive.

Nachteile:

We've always wished the calendar components integrated with Google calendar as we don't use Outlook. And we wish the registrant data were available across all of our events, instead of on an event basis. From that perspective, Eventsquid is much more of an event management system as opposed to a learning management system -- but we have made it work by combining event-specific exported reports to a whole picture view.

Eventsquid Review

Kommentare: The people at Eventsquid are very easy to connect with and obtain assistance. The product itself is worth the investment for all of the available options it provides.

Vorteile:

Eventsquid provided the most features and options for the price than other companies we reviewed

Nachteile:

Learning the various features and options was a little more time-consuming than some that were turn-key. A more user-friendly version with an easier 'look' about it would improve functionality.

Best product we saw for the investment

Kommentare: Overall a solid program and would recommend it to anyone looking for a flexible program. It is applicable for someone with little experience to someone with real web development experience.

Vorteile:

The product is fairly intuitive so learning and training was quite easy compared to others we viewed.

Nachteile:

The aesthetics and UX on the administrator side could use some upgrades.

Eventsquid is the perfect software for our needs

Kommentare: Overall this products works perfectly for us. Customer service is great. Anytime I have a question, they are on top of it and it gets answered. In 2020, we utilized the Virtual Event option and it worked perfectly as well. We are back to in person events and the product does everything we need it to and more.

Vorteile:

Eventsquid had everything we needed for event registration for attendees. We are able to showcase all of the elements of our conference with this product. We are able to schedule sessions throughout the day and have attendees choose and change if needed. We can pull reports and customize everything to our needs.

Nachteile:

There is not much I can criticize with this product. The only suggestion would be the ability to add more to the homepage of the website. More information or graphics.

The software is a oak tree of functionality. Each branch is a site feature to maximize efficiency

Vorteile:

The Software gives my business a professional web presence that is well developed and highly functional. The software team is constantly updating the system to reflect more efficient ways to organize and adapt to any business model. The software is so advanced that it coordinates aspects of your business that I had previously never considered. Due to the systematic approach to organizational profiling, my business has been given an "exoskeleton" from the software that has significantly restructured and streamlined my business model to become much more effective at producing confirmed pay registrants. The software allows for customized data entry options for specific business needs. All variables have been effectively managed by the software on a platform that is accessible at your fingertips on any mobile device. The software is highly effective at offering customers and clientele a safe, quick, and efficient way to pay for products and services offered. The support team will email you within the same business day if there is a question or concern about any aspect of the software. The software will auto populate accounting reports, customer activity reports, and even parking passes. The software offers customizable color schemes to enhance aspects of the visual presentation of products and site features. The software provides you with a blueprint to follow or adopt that expands your own understanding of the inner workings of true business transactions. Eventsquid.

Nachteile:

The software could be mastered by potentially offering web domain creation link. Website hosting would be an additional feature that could be linked to as well.

Eventsquid has made creating and managing our events simple and fully digital.

Kommentare: Increased our event registrations and the resources we need to dedicate to promoting and running the event. We've went fully digital by building agendas and uploading presentations that attendees can access.

Vorteile:

Creating an event is easy. We host 2 live events each year and looking to grow that going forward. We can have an event site up in a few hours and if we have questions or interest in other ways to do things the knowledge base and support has been great.

Nachteile:

Would really like integrations with Salesforce or Mailchimp to pull our users list directly into the system. While it doesn't take much time, we are constantly updating contacts in Salesforce so by syncing them it would make inviting attendees quicker. With Mailchimp, its our main communications tool, so being able to send via that with our standard branding could also improve our use. Finally, for online events we use Webex Event Center. We've done some testing with that, but it's a little "clunky" on how we have to set it up.

Top notch event management software at a great price

Kommentare: Streamlined event management software and user-experience from design, registration and scheduling, was top notch. I don't think we could have found any other product that met all of our needs, and beyond, at this price. Eventsquid staff were very helpful and timely in training us on the software, which was fairly easy, as well as answering our questions as they came up. Our members liked the system as a user and had no complaints!

Vorteile:

Customizable to meet our event needs- complex registration types, conference session tracks, look/layout to match our theme colors. Intuitive for both administrator and registrants. Great price for all of the functionality. Many other vendors sell registration system and mobile app separately- at a high cost- EventSquid includes all of this at a very good price and it means that online event details and mobile app are automatically linked. Excellent customer service throughout use.

Nachteile:

We really liked all aspects of the software. If we had to pick an area that we liked least, it might be the agenda builder. The functionality was very easy to use, but we weren't able to create a general printable agenda/overview that met all of our needs. The web version of the general agenda worked great though. We just have some attendees who wanted a specific general overview- which we created on our own. Next year, we will use more of its functionality that we weren't able to use this past year since we had to build our event quickly. This will streamline our event and save us even more time.

Bar none, it is the best registration software on the market.

Kommentare: Our meeting planning firm has been using EventSquid for years now, with clients such as Comcast Business and Qdoba Mexican Restaurants. It's extremely user friendly and the quality and functionality, in our opinion, can't be beat. On the rare occasions when we have run into issues or need something improved in the software, they have listened to us and whatever the issues have been, they addressed them within 24 hours. Their customer support is over the top. Their development on improving the software continues on a daily
basis. We love this software and will never consider using another one. I can't express it enough. It's the best on the market.

Vorteile:

Ease of use. Cost. They bid on a flat fee basis, program by program, after much discussion about what the client needs. They are the most cost effective in their space.

Nachteile:

Can't think of one.

No Brainer

Kommentare: EventSquid has so many easy to use tools that an event coordinator or promoter would be truly missing out if they did not use it. The support staff is extremely helpful and very responsive. I have no fear of diving in knowing that I have their team standing by to help with any questions I have. I can't say enough about this platform and team...top notch!

Vorteile:

Full of features and benefits

Nachteile:

Seems like a lot to take on at first but so intuitive and thought out that you get the hang of it quickly.

Experience Conference & Eventsquid

Kommentare: We have found a strong solution to our annual registration, with options to enhance our ongoing meetings, sub-events, and pull more of our logistics under one roof.

Vorteile:

Eventsquid has dramatically changed our ability to track registrations, gain key info from our attendees, and ensure a seamless check-in process at our annual event!

Nachteile:

Since the software encompasses so much, we are sometimes at a loss on how to best use all of the available features.

Learning the Ins and Outs of Eventsquid

Kommentare: Our finance department has a much easier time with Eventsquid than other platforms, especially for tracking payments.

Vorteile:

Our team has been using Eventsquid now for over one year. We really like the ease of use and the report system. As with any new system, we have had a learning curve, but the customer service with Eventsquid has been prompt and the corrections were easy. Our big conference serves approximately 400 participants with three breakout sessions containing seven workshops each, and the system handled the set-up without issues!

Nachteile:

Our learning curve is my least favorite part. We learned a lot from our conference last month.

Eventsquid User Friendly Software

Kommentare: Overall the experience with Eventsquid was positive and the software was very easy to learn and use.

Vorteile:

I enjoyed the ease of use and customer support/ ability to add functions specifically requested for our organization

Nachteile:

Perhaps having different ways to run reports, but I'm sure if it had been requested they would have been able to add certain reports for us but it was not that big of an issue for us.

Happier Atteedees

Kommentare: The use of Eventsquid reduced our workload of responding to attendee questions by at least 80%.

Vorteile:

Our 800 attendees expressed their great delight in the ease of using Eventsquid to sign up for our annual training events. Attendes appreciated the on site features like access to their agenda and site maps during the event. Pre-registration and on site registration for our event team was exponentially improved from our former in house web site platform.

Nachteile:

Fairly steep learning curve to get started. A few administrator tools need more development.

Customizable, Structured, Logical, and Intuitive!

Vorteile:

The customizable nature of EventSquid makes it an adaptable platform that can be used for almost any nature of event. As a non-profit event planner, I need a platform that works well for social events, trainings, conferences, and free events, and EventSquid registration forms can be tailored to fit the needs for a broad range of events.

Nachteile:

Currently, the Communication Center does not have the types of design features that I would prefer in an event email, so I have continued to use the Mailchimp platform for event communications. The Communication Center does however have enough customization to send a utilitarian event email, and will do the job.

Best event management software and GREAT price!

Kommentare: EventSquid helped bring our Conference management and website appearance into the current times! Our old site looked old and outdated and did not have the agenda and room management options. Or the "click n buy" space options. So much easier to manage, set up and deal with from beginning to end.

Vorteile:

The ease of setting up the event - from registration to speakers to sponsors/exhibitors to page appearance. The App is included in the price and is a great addition for our attendees. The customer service and technical support is STELLAR!

Nachteile:

Wish it had onsite badge printing option available.

Great overall experience!

Kommentare: EXCELLENT! I highly recommend the Eventsquid platform and know that the white glove experience we received from their staff will be felt with any client they work with.

Vorteile:

Our company offering a cloud-native solution ourselves we found the Eventsquid platform to intuitive and easy to set up and manage events of all sizes. We came with an urgent need to have something stood up and an event created and ready for registrations within a week, and their staff really delivered!!! Not only did the application get set up, but their staff ensured we had everything needed to make the event a success, followed up with us before, during, and after the event to provide assistance. What a great company!

Nachteile:

None. After our first event, we did have some enhancement suggestions and their staff eagerly listened and provided feedback to us on their plans moving forward.
