Eventee Reviews & Product Details - Page 6

We have used most of the main virtual/hybrid event platforms that are currently on the market (and there are a lot of them). As a video production company, we have to go with whatever option our client wants for their event, and often that means using platforms they already have contracts with. But sometimes we are helping clients put together their first virtual or hybrid event, or they want our recommendation and when that happens we always recommend Eventee.

Eventee for us resembles a middle ground in bringing a great range of features that make a good virtual offering but not offering so many features that it ends up over-complicating things and becoming expensive. From the moment we first saw Eventee we were impressed by the simple and modern layout. For the most part, navigating Eventee is like navigating a normal website, and it's very easy to achieve a smart and professional-looking event for our clients. It definitely looks and feels like a platform several times the price. And it comes with a companion app, at no additional cost which is amazing.

We really like the key focus around the agenda and sessions, as at the end of the day that is what matters most in a conference. When you first log in as a delegate you're taken straight to the agenda meaning you're only one click away from watching the session that's currently live. Not everyone is tech-savvy and the more you put in the way between the delegates and watching the conference the more chance there is of them getting lost. The Poll and Q&A features are great and work well, and we like that delegates can upvote a question as that helps to avoid duplicate questions being posted. We've also used the projector mode a few times to display questions in the room which has worked really well and helped to bring the virtual and physical audiences closer together.

Eventee has got a nice balance between prompting users to move to the next session while also allowing for overrunning current sessions. It amazes me how other platforms have messed this bit up often forcing delegates out of sessions at the moment they are scheduled to end. Anyone working in the events space will know that conferences never run exactly to time and platforms should anticipate this. What Eventee does is pop up a message next to the 'Next Session' button to let people know that the next session is about to begin but doesn't physically move people. It then balances that by not letting any new joiners come into a session that is past the finish time. This makes perfect sense to us and has been much appreciated. You can also go in and change the access settings if you'd like certain sessions to remain visible no matter what. Which is very useful for going back in after the live event to replace live content with on-demand recordings. The Q&A questions are tied to each session and remain visible after the event which we find useful too.

Being able to rename certain elements of the platform like the exhibition area or speaker page is really valuable to us as well and adds to that sense of ownership, making an event feel custom but without overcomplicating things. It's very easy to set colours and add images, logos etc.

Analytics has had some great improvements since we first started using Eventee and now gives a great insight into the conference. Allowing us and our client, sponsors etc to gauge what bits were successful and what were less so.

Finally, I'm sure there are lots I've forgotten to mention but that says just how many great things Eventee has to offer. But I must leave an honourable mention for the support team. Support can really make or break a service and I'm pleased to say that Eventee Support is amazing. They always go out of their way to help whenever I have needed to talk with them, offering up really useful solutions even if they can't immediately fix something. They also get straight to the problem at hand which is critical during an event. I feel as if they are an extension of my team and that isn't something I've experienced with other services like this before. You can tell they all care about the product and want to keep making it better. What more could you ask for? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like what the platform is doing as a whole, but I think refinements are needed before adding brand-new features.

I think the Eventee platform needs to offer more to support the delegates. Most of the delegate problems we deal with are due to a lack of information and education. It wasn't as prominent of a problem with some of the initial events we did because the audience was younger and more technologically savvy, but recently we've had some problems. For example, the registration email that delegates receive from Eventee should have some further information about how to use the platform. We have had to write a word document ourselves which is ok but clunky because it's not part of the main Eventee invite people often don't see it. A short welcome document or even better a video would really help delegates get the most out of the platform.

Networking is also been a bit problematic because delegates don't understand how it works and therefore low numbers of people use it, creating a worse experience. I think it would be very useful if a prompt came up the first time they went into the platform to ask if they wanted to create a profile and join the networking, explain how it works etc. It's just a little too hidden at the moment. And a separate messaging system for delegates to ask speakers a question privately without having to match with them in the networking would be really good. It's much requested in the feedback I receive.

I would also like to see the option for regular reminder emails to be sent to delegates in the run-up to the event. People's email inboxes are busy places these days and getting one email from Eventee about the conference a few weeks before is just going to be lost by the time they try to gain access.

There has also been some confusion around logging in and passwords. Especially if people initially go on via the website and then try to download the app. We also found it strange that there didn't seem to be a way of resending invites to delegates or sending the password reset emails etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used Eventee (both desktop and mobile versions) to manage the schedule for the 2022 Editon of the PLS Conference. It was a hybrid event, with participants from over 25 countries, in different time zones. Eventee provided us with the necessary tools to manage our conference program's essential aspects. Also, when we had technical questions, the reply from Customer Service was very prompt (less than 6 hours) and, at the same time, offered adequate solutions to all our inquiries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall the experience with Eventee was great. A few minor tweaks could provide additional benefits, such as unifying accounts for the same person but with different roles (speaker and user) or showing a list of speakers and their associated papers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about the app is that our conference could be paperless and in this way we were environmentally responsible without compromising the smooth running of the event. The app contributed to smooth course of the program in the three paralell program sections, also helped us build relationship with the audience before the event, enabled us communicate last minute changes in the program, and collect feedback. We also had it on hold for the ability to ask questions from the audience. What we did not use this time but I like it very much is the possibility to built also conference webpage with all important information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly did not find anything what I would dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No native booking page for tickets (but all major ticketing systems can be integrated).

Otherwise everything top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s simple to set up, works well on the web app and mobile app allows for intergration and enables your participants to use the software to network with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The networking is only 1:1 can’t have group chats/topics. If you steam live the dissolve aren't broken up by time. You have to schedule each live steam separately for it to appear individually for each session. The registration and access process can be confusing for a virtual event.

I love the fact that Eventee has both desktop AND a mobile app! Both are important in today's online event space - especially the mobile app! Eventee continues to improve making it one to watch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to see more direct integrations so that in cases where we have to link to an external site, the site's video can plan directly within Eventee.

Overall, The updates are coming quickly and consistently! That's really a plus to the team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app was extremely easy to use, visually appealing, and offered instant connection to everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had no dislikes. The app offered exactly what it claimed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Eventee stands out because of the people behind the scenes. They are so friendly, attentive, kind, and extremely competent! They offer personalized service and are always there for us. Got a question? Use their excellent chat service or write an email and you won't have to wait long for a response- ever! They are so dependable which makes running a conference so much easier and less stressful.

Right up there with Eventee's top-notch customer service is the actual platform. It's wonderful and the user interface is easy to use and manage. Very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to think of a downside! I can't provide one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Easy setup and very intuitive dashboards for admins

- Integration with most common ticketing apps

- Everything is in one place, including several options for interacting with the attendees (pools, questions, evaluation, push notifications, etc.)

- You can prepare the communication and set up push notifications beforehand for some particular time - it allows you to plan the messages you would like to share with your attendees (and it is super cool!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- I would welcome the possibility of manually adding attendees to the workshops (now they should do it by themselves)

- The onboarding to the app (signing for the first time) is a little bit confusing. Some of the attendees opened the autologin email on a desktop and then were confused when logging in to the mobile app; what is their password? It was unclear that they needed to use the "forgot password" to set up the pass.

- It might be beneficial for admins to choose how the app's messaging would work. Now there is only the "Tinder" option for messaging - so both people need to like each other before they can message each other. We used the app for an internal conference, so it was a little bit weird - not having a chance to talk to your colleague directly in the app. But I understand that this feature is excellent for public conferences. Which is the original use case for Eventee.

- And I would ABSOLUTELY add the giphy keyboard to the push notifications section. Now you need to upload the pictures /gifs if you want to send them, which is a little bit annoying so this would make the whole process more smooth :)) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features that were available on the app were beneficial for our conference. We had no technical issues, and the app and website were easy for our users to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I didn't like about the product was that I didn't have access to certain features behind the next-level paywall. Even with that, the features we did have were still fantastic and within our budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
