What do you like best about Brella?

I loved how easy it was to request meetings, accept or decline appointments, and took a lot of the natural awkwardness of a networking conference out of the way. Brella made this conference one of the most successful I've ever attended in close to 20 years of attending conferences. I wish all conferences used Brella. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

I'm not sure there were too many downsides. If anything, I would say there were a number of people who seemed unaware of Brella, or at least unaware of the functionality and convenience of the app. The more it spreads, the less this will be a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

The perennial problem with every conference is that there are so many people and only so much time. As a vendor in the insurance industry, I am competing for attention along with hundreds of others. Brella makes requests and declines painless, and facilitates communication within the app, making it the ideal tool for the conference setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

I use it for tradeshow events that I am attending to pre-book appointments for either before-the-show meetings or on-site. It's great to see the attendance ahead of time.

I had a login issue, and Support emailed me back in 3 minutes. After a couple of exchanges, they figured out the fix in under 10 minutes—very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

The App seems to self-pick people it thinks I should meet. Not that effective and not the right people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing me to see who is attending to set up meetings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

This platform is exceptional, they allow the beneficiaries to complete the systematization of events with our website and individualize the image of our agenda. At the same time, it has a receptive web browser interface, allowing users to adhere to the content of the event and intervene in meetings from wherever they are. Furthermore, it allows us to integrate Brella with Salesforce, Pipedrive and HubSpot CRM to combine attendee information. The support of the benefit is developed by smartphones, iOS and Android in addition to live chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

It is an exceptional platform, but it lacks intuition and sometimes its use tends to be frustrating, adding that it does not contain a free system to get to know it a little and be sure that you want to buy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

live streaming to preserve both physical and virtual shows. It is a tool that is used in large exhibitions and conferences. This virtual event system allows consumers to manage agendas of various tracks, keep auditors informed about delays or changes in notifications, assign content to presenters for audiences to access and provide agendas in the specific time zones of attendees.

What do you like best about Brella?

1) A very intuitive platform that is easy to use and is focused on getting users to engage with others and book in meetings.

2) It is easy to set up and only takes a couple of days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

A bit restrictive in functionality at times. I hope they start giving the organiser more freedom to change things in the app without compromising on the great design.

Still, there are slight lags and problems when signing on, we have had some attendees struggle to log in at times. I don't see much of any other blocking problem on the platform rather than that point Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brella:

This is the best app I've tried for meetings at events. Can highly recommend to other organisers. Their meetings feature is the best I've seen. The degree of customization you can use on the backend makes sure that participants can find those they are looking for and get the most out of their time at the conference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

1) We book all of our meetings through brella

2) We can send notifications to all of our attendees

3) We can share a full overview of our agenda and speakers on the app

The key problem with most conferences is helping attendees find the 5-10 most important people that they should meet with. Attendees are competing for attention along with hundreds of others and Brella makes it easier to connect with the right people and facilitates communication, making it an ideal tool.

What do you like best about Brella?

The intuitive layout. It's easy to navigate right from the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

I wish there were more customizable features, especially on the home screen. It would also be great to be able to send out custom emails within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

We'd never used a virtual platform before Brella, so we solved the problem of cost-effectively running our annual conference and a new training event in a virtual format. We had the benefit of having the highest registration for this virtual conference compared to any of our in-person conferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

Their match-making feature is the best I've seen. The degree of customization you can utilize on the backend makes sure that your meeting participants can find the people they are looking for and get the most out of their attendance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

Sometimes the customer support for attendees is a bit slower to respond than I would like. However, they went above and beyond to address this concern on the days of my event to make sure I had what I needed. Additionally, they've been expanding their North American operations, so this isn't as much of an issue now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

The number one reason participants come to our conference is to network, and Brella makes that process as seamless as possible. Our attendees are able to quickly and easily set up a large number of meetings during our program, increasing their value in attendance. This makes sure that they come back, year after year, and improves our event immensely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

All needed tools are in one platform. The best part is that I have my calendar synch with my PC, as well I can access all my meetings and the events of the summit in one place; there were minor bugs in the earlier versions, but I have seen that all those bugs were solved in the latest version. I don't see a tool in the market for events that cover all the event requirements and meetups like Brella for the moment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

Still there are slight lags and problems for signing on safari, I hope to solve them as they did on chrome, I don't see much of any other blocking problem on the platform rather than that point Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used Brella 4 times in 4 different events, and it keeps all my history and tracks all event needs, it combines events agenda and networking in the same place which is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

Brella is a one-of-a-kind tool to enable networking in your events among the attendees. It automates the networking experience and drives great results too. The product has evolved tremendously over the years and stepped up from the features standpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The billing and subscription are a little sales-driven and not product-led. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

We hosted a VC Connect where we connected mutliple VCs with founders on the Brella platform. It just works! We've been able to drive 1000+ meetings through the plartform effortlessly if done otherwise would have taken a lot of man-hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

The platform is user-friendly, has well-developed matchmaking, and offers the most important features to organize successful B2B conferences. Over the past 18 months, the platform has undergone a lot of development and positive change, with more in the pipeline for 2022. Moreover, the Brella team offers great customer service and is open to and acts on client feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

There are limitations in customizing direct emails and messages that can be sent from the platform to facilitate onboarding and attendee engagement, but these are scheduled to be addressed shortly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have transformed all of our physical B2B conferences into virtual events. The organization of some 20 events on Brella has resulted in the development of a hybrid events strategy that we would have never imagined two years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

We like how simple it is to set up and the specifics for networking which we can import; this is great for our users. We also like how easy it is to import other information such as attendees, sponsors and speakers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

That the content closes off to anyone after 2 weeks, and anyone who didn't attend can then not access this. There is a lot of imports to negate for each section; it would be amazing to be able to import a master spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brella:

This is a great basic events platform; it has everything you need to manage participants and stream via zoom. There is a lot of admin to it, though, to get it up and to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brella solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a platform to host our content and streaming links, it also provides added benefits to our sponsors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
