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

The current pandemic has had to make us all look differently at how we conduct our business. iVent's virtual events solution is future-proof and made for this current situation. That said, the tech and user interface is good enough that we'll be thinking about using this product ongoing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iVent?

iVent provides options to support a variety of online events, from static to live typed Q&A, single-presenter live/as live webcasts and multi-presenter webinar/meeting spaces. Account and event project managers work closely with the client to build the environment best suited to the clinet's needs and provide a range of packages for technical and practical support. The system enables reporting on a wide range of metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iVent?

Some elements of the back end don't function quite as ideally as they should, but there are typically work-arounds. Project management, event admin, statistics and support are spread across different sub-sites rather than housed in a single integrated system which is a little inconvenient but again can be worked around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iVent:

Ensure you think carefully about how you want your event to be and consult iVent on the options as there are many different functions available. Ensure you keep in regular contact with your account and event project manager as they will be able to support you throughout the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use iVent to host university virtual open days. They have enabled our institution - which has a global audience - to be able to reach and engage that audience prior to application more than our previous exclusively-physical events were able to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform was pretty simple and user-friendly. All the volunteers that we work with also echoed this. The iVent team are very friendly and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iVent?

Sometimes changing content on the admin side of things can be fidgety, for example, when changing the announcement, after clicking "save", you have to make sure you also click "apply updates" to ensure the announcement appears on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's bringing people together, especially at a time when we couldn't meet face-to-face. It is also saving us time (and costs) by being able to work remotely using this platform. Giving us the chance to be cost-effective, time-saving and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iVent?

iVent offers a range of functions to support online events, including webinar spaces, networking lounges and information booths. Everything can be customised for the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iVent?

Not every function is entirely intuitive, but iVent provides personalised training sessions and support to help users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

University virtual open days. The platform has helped us reach our worldwide audience who would not be able to travel to London for an event. We have also had better engagement from participating staff and students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iVent?

Lots of ways for attendees to interact across the platform, including the announcements feature, the CTA button and the collab rooms. Great reporting and data giving you a really detailed understanding of your visitors and their behaviours and activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iVent?

Unlock button in collab rooms can easily be pressed by anyone, taking your session live without realising! It would be great if this feature had the ability for you to approve the unlock before it happens. In addition, the back end (when setting up lots of events/booths) can be quite clumsy and requires update/refresh/regular navigation back to the area you were editing. It could be a lot simpler and feels a little outdated sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iVent?

Their platform is quite sophisticated and highly customisable, so you can really make your meeting what you'd like it to be. Great team at your disposal to support the planning and running of the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iVent?

Some of the behind-the-scenes workings are complex, so need to be left for the development team to sort out. Some minor glitches can occur. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iVent:

Make sure that you plan thoroughly what you want from your event and discuss it with their team and you should be able to make the most of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's enabled us to host virtual meetings when in-person events weren't possible. This has also made the content much more accessible for people to view the content remotely and/or at a later date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iVent?

The highly professional support team. The video chat in booths. The networking lounge. The ability to seamlessly move between pre-recorded and live content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iVent?

There was nothing that I disliked about the iVent platform. Delivering an online event is no easier than coordinating an in-person event; the amount of time needed to organize a professional end result shouldn't be underestimated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

iVent allowed us to replicate (and even improve on) our face-to-face conference events at a time when meeting face to face was impossible. We actually achieved a better attendance rate than we had done at previous in-person events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
