What do you like best about Eventbase?

We've been using Eventbase for our user conference, JNUC, for a few years. It's really been a game changer compared to t he mobile app we were using before. Everything from planning through onsite experience was really well organized making it an overall great experience for our team. And bonus, our attendees really love the app too! We have a high download/user rate and the survey results are always very high for mobile app. Definitely a component to our user conference that we don't see going away any time soon! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eventbase?

Aside from the high cost of the mobile app, some of our attendees have commented that the navigation of the app is sometimes hard to find things.... can be a bit overwhelming with too many features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Eventbase serves as a tool for us to communicate efficiently with our attendees while keeping all conference information right at their finger tips. Many of our attendees use the mobile app to favorite and schedule sessions, building their overall agenda, and also use the mobile app as a networking tool to meet other attendees.

What do you like best about Eventbase?

They are extremely organized and have very smooth easy internal processes. From the time you call them for a demo, to contracting (which was very easy to get through our procurement team), to actually implementing and building the app and post event follow up. Their app shines well above others that we have used over the last 10 years.

Customer Service is top notch, they always answer in a timely fashion. The features that this app has is by far the top runner...our attendees love the maps once onsite.

We have used this app going on 3 years now and I don't see us changing anytime soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eventbase?

I'd like to see a smoother integration with RainFocus - it's not terrible but there is some room for improvement. The price, but this also goes along the lines of you pay for what you get so I can't really call this a dislike... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A way for our attendees to get all conference information on their device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Eventbase?

I like the professional look, the ease of use for the conference attendee, the way it handles gamification and the ways in which we were able to customize our event app. The Eventbase team as a whole was very responsive from the start of the sales process to the end of the project. I appreciate the organized project management that kept everyone aware of their due dates and assignments. Eventbase easily integrated with our other event products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eventbase?

Eventbase Manager can be a little confusing, especially if you are not using the system regularly. You should also make sure you have some design resources at your company to provide images and design direction - this is not a turn-key app build. You get out of Eventbase what you put into it. The extra effort can result in an app that is well integrated into your conference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Eventbase is helping is to solve for providing up-to-date conference information to all of our attendees. The Eventbase app easily allows conference attendees to pre-register for sessions before arriving, helping our events team plan space conference room space. It also allows an easy way for conference attendees to engage with each other before the conference and handles our gamification needs well. As our conference footprint expands, it also provides way finding solutions for our attendees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Eventbase?

Eventbase saves us hundreds of manhours each month with its self-serve events app solution. Their production team is friendly and helpful, keeping our projects running on time. Best of all, they integrate pretty seamlessly with Rainfocus, our main event registration and booking software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eventbase?

This may be more of a Rainfocus limitation, but it would be great if users could retain their user sessions on more than one device. Currently, if a user logs into their account on the app, it logs them out of their session on their tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Eventbase helps us deliver a mobile experience to attendees of our conference. In addition to helping them plan and attend their scheduled sessions conveniently on their mobile device, Eventbase also provides solutions that integrate with our mapping solutions, allowing attendees to view a map of the venue to find their way around our events. Another thing that users find helpful that Eventbase is helping us solve is allowing users to manage their favorited sessions, sync'ing with Rainfocus account details, and also allows conference attendees to download presentation files from sessions they attended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Anna Daniels of Eventbase

We're thrilled that Eventbase is saving your team time and making event management easier. It’s great to hear that our app integrates well with Rainfocus and that our team has kept your projects on track.

Eventbase has been instrumental in solving several key challenges for us, starting back in 2010 when SXSW needed its first mobile app. They’ve ensured that attendees have access to timely schedule information, helped users navigate the complexities of Austin during SXSW, and provided effective ways for attendees to connect with one another. By consistently delivering a user-friendly mobile app experience, Eventbase has significantly enhanced the overall event experience for both attendees and organizers, making our events more seamless and engaging.

What do you like best about Eventbase?

I really like how our event brand can be showcased within the app with our full brand expression. It allows us to carry through the same elements you see at the venue. That is very important to Splunk. As a planner, I appreciate the detailed project management plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eventbase?

While I love the project plan, if your timeline is compressed or delays occur it can feel worrisome that you may not get the app you are planning on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They allow our attendees to schedule sessions within the app and that talks back to our registration system. This effectively allows an attendees schedule to be done in real time not matter what way they decide to schedule themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Eventbase?

I appreciate how highly customizable the Eventbase mobile app is -- both with its features and design. We put on three major events each year with thousands of attendees and hundreds of speakers and sessions, and consistently hear from attendees how straightfoward and easy to use the app is.

Eventbase integrates seamlessly across our existing data systems, which is a lifesaver. If any we hit any roadbumps, they were able to quickly pinpoint what was going on.

Their customer support and producer team is amazing. They do a great job of documenting everything, so that year over year and event to event, we're never starting from scratch and can always hit the ground running.

The analytics and reporting tools gave us great insights into attendee engagement and session popularity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eventbase?

While the Eventbase Manager platform is generally very user-friendly, there’s a bit of a learning curve to get the hang of all the features and where to find them. They do their best to accomodate feature requests, but these can sometimes take a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're a large-scale event series and need a mobile app that helps attendees navigate our events and reflects our branding and design. Eventbase has been a wonderful partner in delivering a high-quality, user-friendly mobile app to our attendees year after year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Anna Daniels of Eventbase

Thank you for your thoughtful review!

We’re delighted to hear that Eventbase has been a valuable tool for your large-scale events. It’s fantastic to know that our customization options, seamless integrations, and strong customer support have made a positive impact on your events.
