What do you like best about Brella?

Using Brella brings extra value on events / seminars. It is the connections that are the real value of events, not the speaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

Hard to think. There is always those little "this and that would be nice" but rn I can't come up with any Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 do you like best about Brella?

Easy to use. Good GUI. And best of all are the automated table assignments. Pair that with a great messaging tool and this is a really great app to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

I wish that you could hide attendees that you don't want to see. At some of the events we attend there are hundreds of attendees and many of them we already know and do business with. It would be nice to be able to hide them from the list so we can more easily focus on the remaining attendees. Especially since many attendees do not build a profile until days before. This means you have to come back to the app over and over to see who has a newly created profile in the days leading up to the event. The ability to hide those we don't want to talk to for any reason would greatly improve the ability to use the app efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

I am familiar with it, having used it for several years at multiple events.

It is not that great, but it sucks slightly less than all of the others I have tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

Oh, oh, so many missing things; it can often be slow or unreachable at events, there is no off-line mode, there is no easy way to get data out from it.

It claims to have AI matching, but from the results I have seen, it is simple keyword matching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

Interactive meets, lots of ways to get to know of people and AI-based recommendation systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

Some bugs were present during our job fair. Also some of the features were not too easy to use. For example, there could have been more time to figure out how breakout rooms work beforehand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

The AI-matchmaking feature is one of the best tools available on Brella. It really gives one the ability to automatically connect with like-minded people with similar interests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

The one thing Brella should improve on is the ability to link/merge info of back-end uploaded speakers with their respective speaker profiles. That would be a great addition to the platform. One other thing Brella could probably improve on to make the experience better is to introduce ticketing and front-facing event microsites on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

Finding new connections is extremely easy with Brella. Brella's algorithm helped me to connect with people who I wouldn't have found otherwise. It was easy to take meetings virtually, no need to hassle with Zoom links as Brella provided the video software also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

Honestly, I can't think of much. Only thing that comes to my mind is the ability to add matchmaking categories yourself (they were pre-defined by the organizer). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

Their support - Interfaces and UX are great but when in dispair, like we were to set up our event online, they were fast, helpful and very kind in all support they gave us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

The price - but this is because I am a small very small SME. :/ We cannot use them for all our events yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brella?

I have been organizing events for nearly a decade. Networking is the most important thing for our constituents, and the ability to help them connect with relevant stakeholders is critical. Brella provides the structure for us to make this happen -- it is super easy for our attendees to identify and find like-minded individuals. We love it, and our attendees love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brella?

They have already worked out a lot of bugs that we addressed in the past. I hate the joining link process and had to create a workaround. Our events are paid and to get individual join links is painful, as there is no integration with our current registration platform. And Brella doesn't have a native registration platform.
