Event.Gives Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

Event.gives was great for our event that included silent auction and general doantions. Check in and check out was seamless. It was essential that all guests be able to bid easily and quickly on their mobile phones. Set up was user friendly and the support was great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the reports were a little confusing but we ended up getting where we needed to be. Sometimes setting up each item was a little cumbersome but, with so many tiny details, I'm not sure that can be solved! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not tech savvy and I was able to get a great looking event site up and LIVE within an hour. Adding items and tickets was a really simple process and the bulk import saved me a bunch of time. The whole backend is super user-friendly and at the same time, we got tons of feedback about how easy it was for attendees to buy tickets and bid on items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We didn't know how much we could do with the table management until it was too late. That would have been helpful to utilize all in one place but we already did it with another free tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Live Display component for our live auction was great. Everyone was laughing and bidding the entire time. It was super engaging and our auctioneer could address and thank the bidder each time. The whole room was dialed in the entire time, which has not been the case in the past. We are looking forward to using this platform for our events in the future.

They just released new pricing options that would have been nice to utilize for our last event. Many of our donors would have been happy to cover the fees so we are excited to be able to use that component for our next event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use and set up. The backend is pretty user-friendly. One stop usage for event ticketing and sponsors, auctions, raffles etc.

Rates and fees are equivalent to the standard, and especially if you are a small event or unsure if a flat fee versus volume fees is best, this is a good way to start and find out.

Event.Gives covers the basics without a bunch of features that you won't use. Reporting is very basic; if that is not important to you, this is your platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On several occasions front end-users reported being unable to see the checkout tab which should be at the bottom of their screen when using mobile devices. This was reported, but it is hard to show what was wrong without screenshots. Also, when using mobile devices, in portrait mode, the quantity field does not always display correctly, causing users to buy more than they intended. Overall, the customer experience was not always great, I would say about ten percent had issues or expressed confusion about thier experience.

Exporting data is not easy. Initially what drew me to Event.Gives was the API connection to Rasier's Edge. This never worked as advertised, truly it is a beta feature at best. It breaks it's connection regularly. If an attendee is linked to RE without any transactions, it creates a gift of $1 on the record, which although it can be edited, can create issues. Also, tracking down all of a user/guests transactions can be difficult, as they are not all in one spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have a very visually pleasing platform. My event guests were an older crowd and I was hesitant to use a fully online platform, but the website that is created through event.gives is very simple and extremely easy to navigate as a guest. We switched from a platform that had multiple pages and features that were too overwhelming for our attendees to navigate. Event.Gives was a perfect solution.

I wish event.gives had a max bid option, but their customer support team did let me know this feature is being worked on by their product team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really loved how easy it was to upload the items into the system and how nice, clean, and professional the display was in the app and on desktop. The customer service was great and our rep was very helpful as I learned the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only problems that I had were because of the personal learning curves I experienced using the software for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to provide various types of event sales without utilizing a web admin to build it out. It's easy to work with and navigate. The auto-draw function for raffles is ideal! The Silent Auction functions have significantly improved our sales in that area since using the platform in recent years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our audience doesn't like going to each basket to purchase tickets individually. They want to add them to a cart and buy them all simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I LOVE that I was able to sell my tickets and host my event (auction/paddle raise) all on one platform. No more piecing together multiple platforms and confusing my donors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if I could utilize Event.Gives as my CRM. Fingers crossed for the future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everyone from Event Gives was so helpful from the time we started inputting items into the event site to the closing of the event. They were always available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't say enough good things about Event Gives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how thorough the platform is. It definitely has everything you could think of as an event organizer for fundraising and is very intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think if you're new to the platform it can be a little overwhelming at first glance, especially with all of the new features that have been built over the years. But again, it can be as easy or complicated at you make it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
