I’ve had a great experience with Certain Event Management. The platform is very user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and manage events. One of the standout features for me is the responsive help team — they’re quick to assist whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is that the articles provided don’t always address more unique or specific questions, but customer service is always willing to hop on a call to offer direct support, which is a huge plus. Overall, I highly recommend Certain Event Management for anyone looking for an efficient and supportive event management solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform for registration and event app building"
4/5
What do you like best about Certain?

Easy interface, great customer support, training modules, and intergration between Certain and Salesforce is super helpful! Love the dashboard view where I can see how many customers are signed up for a list of multiple trainings in one view. Reports are easy to customize with whatever you want them to show.

What do you dislike about Certain?

Areas where you to need to go to make do something or make changes doesn't always make sense- or takes too many clicks to find or make an edit. I also wish their was a phone number hotline for support- email responses are always slower than talking to a human. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for meetings"
5/5
What do you like best about Certain?

The app was very intuitive and very admin friendly. I was able to make changes very quickly during the event. The implementation process was simple. I had an onboarding call and was good from there. The account management team has been very supportive. Certain has an off-hours support chat helpline which made it very convenient if I had a question. The app can be used for different types of events, however what I appreciate the most about the app is that it can be a straight meeting app which is what i was looking for. I've found other apps to be built for large trade shows or conferences and retro fitted to be used as a meeting app. There is a lot of functionality that is lost when an app is rtrofitted to be something that it's not. Certain made sure that is not the case for their app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Trusted and responsive partner and program"
5/5
What do you like best about Certain?

We''ve used Certain for years and one of the great things is the low turnover with account management and tech support. We have been able to adapt the application for all our events of all sizes and types. I like best that I can figure most things out myself, but they've been quick to reply and assist as needed. I love the integration with the mobile app platform Touchpoint. That was a game changer for us too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certain?

I do wish they were more innovative or moved faster to implement new things in the technology. The roadmap is probably quite long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Event Management Software That Needs Some Love"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Certain?

Setting sessions is easy and the set up process is intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certain?

It's a good tool to check people into sessions at events, however, I find that it sometimes glitches and does not allow people to check in. Even so, overall the app is solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid Event Management Platform"
4/5
What do you like best about Certain?

The Certain event platform has been a reliable foundation for our event management for a long period of time. It consistently allows us to manage registrations, build out our event programs, and manage attendee check-in. It has enabled us to successfully manage the in-person and hybrid events that we hold over the course of each year. Certain support is very responsive to any issues that arise, and we have been able to reasonably integrate the platform with our internal tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certain?

There are a few limitations with the platform that would make our experience better, including expanded API functionality, capabilities of the Touchpoint streaming platform, and implementation of abstract management / call for speakers/papers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
