Cvent Event Diagramming Pros and Cons

The real-time collaboration feature and its intuitive drag-and-drop interface make event planning much easier and more efficient.

The tool’s ease of use, along with the ability to integrate with other Cvent products, greatly enhances event planning and coordination. It allows teams to work together in real-time, reducing errors and improving communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile version can be a bit slow, and there is a learning curve for new users, especially for more advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

none just maybe the button which has also lacking of table and chair options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The CRM is great, according to my boss, but the diagramming feature is lacking many important aspects. For instance, there's no option to customize the title of the diagram. Personally, I don't need to include the timing and dates of my event, but that's the default. I reached out to your customer service, and unfortunately, they said it's not possible to remove this feature, which is really disappointing.

Additionally, when printing the floor plan, sometimes the footer, where the event names are listed, doesn't appear. This happens intermittently. Another issue is that you cannot organize the files by template, and the template itself is stored in a completely different folder. The history feature should also be more streamlined to help organize everything in a folder.

There are so many missing features in this program, but my boss mentioned that it was tied to the CRM, which is why we renewed it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have kept it, and we were actually considering switching to a different solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the software easy to use. Uusally i just open up the floor diagram and use saved layouts to quickly add tables and chairs. I find the object tool great because we rent chairs and tables of different sizes so often i have to adjust those specs to meet space requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish more rental catalogs were connected to the tool. I don't find the catalogs helpful and they are not current. I also find that the browser will freeze when i have object heavy diagrams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the drag and drop features. It is easy to add tables, chairs and even miscellaneous items to a floorplan. It is comforting knowing that your diagram is to scale with the space as well. Inserting large amounts of tables or items is easy with the group drop when you can drag out as many tables as you need at one time. Social Tables support system is incredible and takes all feedback into consideration. When we first started using Cvent they offered multiple conference calls to show us how each feature was used and the new updates that they had. They are easily accessible for quick questions or concerns as well. I also like that once you create a floorplan you like, you can save it as a template for future events. This was extremely handy for a hotel that had small meetings and weddings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For simple diagrams, such as small meetings, it is often times easier to copy and paste on other programs than it is to build on Social Tables. It is also difficult to share to "social" clients. They often times do not understand the functions or make changes without informing the creator. Although to scale. sometimes it does not take into account service space or unique features in the room. I also dislike that even though you can add the exact number of chairs that you need, it is often times hard to tell how many chairs are at each table unless you count each one.

I like that plans are so easy to find. Whatever venue you might think of, you will find the plan to work with. Everything is clear, it's user-friendly, and it's easy to work with. It was a smooth implementation with the clients too because it looks so clean! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a little bit time consuming when you have a big group. The table assignation gets redundant quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an easy to use platform that offers quick and easy support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few "common" event industry objects that aren't in the catalogue...confidence monitor , drop down screen, step & repeat/marketing banner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love being able to create an accurate layout. With the pandemic, we have had to reset our spaces numerous times to account for social distancing, new furniture, etc. With each change, it took time but was seamless. You can use accurate size tables/chairs helps to ensure you are meeting all codes. When you first open an account, it's beneficial to have precise custom layouts that each company can manipulate to see what fits. I always use my favorites for tables/Chairs. It helps to ensure you are using the correct sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel sometimes the system is slow and the cache can mess things up. The customizations help a lot. But can take time. Recently many of my colleagues have not been able to renew as the cost is just too steep. I wish there were level packages that may help others utilize the software.
