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.
