At our company we do a lot of events. Therefore, having an event management system was very appealing to us. Cvent is a very comprehensive suite that allows robust tracking, structured guest interaction, and follow-up in one really easy to use solution.

Integration is one-way. We have some issues with data quality where a record is written over with bad data. Either it is an input issue or an integration issue.

One stop shop for all my events and RSVPs. Splash is a great tool to use for all your event needs. We use it heavily and it has worked great!

User experience is like 10 years back ... Interface is far from intuitive and often illogical and misleading (e.g. would you expect calendar attachment settings to be located under "event setting - metadata"? Or share card settings in dedicated "facebook"...
