This is not the cheapest offering. But that's ok. Growth pains. Used to great customer service and now that team has grown and model is being more systematized some of that personal relationship has been lost. **What problems is RainFocus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting the data to support the decisions being made regarding our portfolio of events. Consolidation with the martech stack Ease of use by internal stakeholders ### 43. Powerful event software that integrates and amplifies the event experience. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2023 **What do you like best about RainFocus?** The team of skilled and knowledgeable professionals at Rainfocus that guide and care for every aspect of your needs and those of your event. **What do you dislike about RainFocus?** Lack of a deeper understanding of the platform and what is possible for enhanced event marketing experiences. **What problems is RainFocus solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is our event management solution. ### 44. Stay FAR AWAY and SAVE YOUR MONEY **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2021 **What do you like best about RainFocus?** Customer service is generally responsive. **What do you dislike about RainFocus?** This product is the absolute worst. The good reviews are clearly fake reviews. Our small team of 9 (of graphic designers and project managers) had no idea we were going to have to stand the whole site up from scratch ourselves until after we had forked over $100k+. Up until then, we were under the impression that Rainfocus would dedicate people on their side to create the platform for our event given our direction and needs. We felt completely blind-sided. Instead we had to watch over 30 hours of grueling tutorial videos within 4 days to learn how to build a site from scratch. They don't even have templates to build a platform. They refused to allocate a person to help us build the site. They only compromised by giving us live tutorials occasionally. The event that we were planning for was launching in 4 months, which is very little time to learn how to build a site from scratch. The end result was a primitive, shoddy virtual event platform that would break every other click. Basic activities like uploading photos and bios were unpredictable.We had to scrap a whole page and recreate it once the site was already live. Overall just a poor experience. We would have been better off creating something in Wordpress. I'm still trying to understand what we paid for. **What problems is RainFocus solving and how is that benefiting you?** International, all-virtual hackathon event ### 45. After five years of searching, this is the best event registration software. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shelley G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2020 **What do you like best about RainFocus?** The reports and the dashboard are my favorite. I am on the dashboard every single day, checking the progress of my event, revenue, stats, geo data. We can pull customized reports in a snap. I'm able to give my executives the information they want, easily. **What do you dislike about RainFocus?** Honestly, not much. Right now, with RainFocus, my attendees can't transfer tickets the way we need them to. We have a work-around, and it's still much easier than what we were doing with a previous reg software. However, RainFocus has been working with us to solve this problem, and on the next event we'll have it up and working. So, not a huge issue. I really appreciate working with their team on this solution. **What problems is RainFocus solving and how is that benefiting you?** With RainFocus, I solved the problem of registration servers crashing on opening day. So right there, huge advantage. But the other benefits we gained in addition have been hugely helpful. We have so much more information than ever before. I've been in the events industry for 15 years, and I just love the ease with which I can navigate the platform, pull the information I need, and make adjustments if necessary. I've used 5 or 6 other programs for registration, and this is absolutely the best one I've used. Across my work at two different companies, for over 5 years now, I had been searching for the best one, and I feel like we've found a great solution with RainFocus. Registration for my 65,000+ event is complex. And during COVID, we had to change from an in-person event to virtual, and it became even more complicated. However, the RainFocus team was with us every single day, every step of the way. They made it clear they were our partners in everything we were trying to do.Our event registration got really messy, but they delivered. It's completely manageable and is a huge success. Registration went from being my #1 stressor of our events, to something I now feel very confident in. ### 46. Scalable and flexible event management technology **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hayley L. | Senior UX Consultant and Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2020 **What do you like best about RainFocus?** Rainfocus has a tech stack that is probably one of the most updated in the current event technology marketplace. As many know in event technology, we require a number of integrations across the board in order to create the most seamless event. Their thoroughly developed RESTful API (with strong documentation) is well responded to when discussing integrations with other providers. On top of that, they have kept a lot of security practices in mind, doing a lot of due diligence internally instead of requiring clients to pay for scans or penetration tests. Their platform is extremely flexible and configurable, which makes the lives of event managers much easier to utilize as granular details and work streams can be vastly different from event to event. They also have architected their platform in such a way where it's easy to duplicate events, forms, workflows, and more through different various areas. This is especially helpful in delivering complex data structures across multiple micro-events. Rainfocus' solutions architects are also very problem-solving oriented which is super helpful to have in difficult technical challenges we face during an event delivery cycle. **What do you dislike about RainFocus?** Within the platform, there are little "quirks" or minor bugs that provide little user feedback which is not ideal for those who are not as familiar with Rainfocus. There are also some technical workarounds that we sometimes have to do (which isn't always the prettiest solutions) in order to have the platform function in the way we hope to, but on the other hand - Rainfocus Product team has been receptive to the feedback and continue to add to their product road map so that everyone can benefit from these fixes. **What problems is RainFocus solving and how is that benefiting you?** As someone who works in the technical side of event technology, Rainfocus' platform, APIs, and their existing partnerships with other event technology companies have made a large impact in my work. As we look at continuing to integrate more platforms for an enhanced attendee experience, working through established partnerships is often beneficial because there would be a deeper connection with the different technologies, meaning a more seamless attendee experience. With their flexible and scalable event platform architecture, it allows for us to configure and cater specific areas within Rainfocus to best support the different education, registration, and sponsor management teams for efficiency. ### 47. The best of mature event platforms with the flexibility and ease of a new one **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anna G. | Sr. Digital Marketing and Content Strategy Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2020 **What do you like best about RainFocus?** Ease of use, All the portals are connected through the same data points, dynamic and knowledgable team, flexibility, can-do attitude/ problem solving, evolving/ improving over time, customer first, no hidden costs **What do you dislike about RainFocus?** There are a few specific product features that we'd like built/ improvement on like: being able to build recommended agendas for sessions without times, out of the box content catalog imagery or text fields to cover up ugly file links, adding icons to recommended agendas, more integrations with virtual event platforms, an auto-save feature so don't have to constantly click save button, more robust file/ presentation review tool, out of the box summary reports w/ graphics based on commonly collected data, not really any big dislikes other than specific product features. **What problems is RainFocus solving and how is that benefiting you?** I manage content strategy, web, mobile app and marketing for my time. With the global pandemic, i've also been responsible for building our digital experience. Using Rainfocus we have created more streamlined call for papers, review processes, a more beautiful content catalog, presenter communications and reporting. Rainfocus has also proven to be a valuable partner in switching to a virtual event with out of the box api's and flexibility based on our changing needs. ### 48. Rainfocus Review **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jared T. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2020 **What do you like best about RainFocus?** Extremely flexible and configurable software, allows for the event planner to effectively manage and deploy a variety of events throughout their marketing life cycle. A sense of a Global level provides users to easily maintain and deploy the same forms and fields throughout the various events to guarantee reporting is consistent. The platform allows for deep customization if the users are knowledgeable in various areas of Front-End Web Dev. **What do you dislike about RainFocus?** Product has shifted focus numerous times, this leaves various modules slightly outdated and not in line with the current company ethos. Some issues pop up time to time which require knowledge of JSON to remedy (this is not something an event planner would normally know). **Recommendations to others considering RainFocus:** The RainFocus platform is very configurable, but needs a lot of attention into how the foundation of the admin is set up. There are many ways to setup and utilize the various modules, and it does require a base level of knowledge on how the platform operates. **What problems is RainFocus solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are constantly solving event requirements and new demands for a Virtual Event/Hybrid event world. The benefits of Rainfocus is the ability to quickly scale and integrate with a majority of other vendors in the space. ### 49. Worked with Rainfocus team for years. Love working with them and their product. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2020 **What do you like best about RainFocus?** They continue to innovate and keep up with trends in the event technology industry. I know their developers very well. They know the event industry like no one else in the business. **What do you dislike about RainFocus?** At times they are spread thin with too much work on their plates. I think sometimes they take on too many clients. **Recommendations to others considering RainFocus:** Rainfocus offers best in class tools with top notch support. You won't find better developers behind the scenes. They are always willing to make integrations work. **What problems is RainFocus solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to control most of our configuration needs. Rarely do I need to go to their team for help. The tools are very complex and give me everything I need to meet my stakeholder's needs. ### 50. The Ultimate Registration Platform! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Devin C. | Vice President, Experiential Marketing , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2020 **What do you like best about RainFocus?** A trustworthy SaaS platform for the events industry! From day 1 I was impressed with their ADVANCED software features & dashboard capabilities. Plus, no more event management silos. This platform offers everything: Registration, messaging, content governance, exhibitor management, reporting and so much more. It’s simple and easy to use, yet robust and meets all our needs. Our team has worked extensively with other enterprise software companies, but RainFocus far exceeded our expectations when it comes to customer service and support. They are quick, responsive and knowledgeable in their field. Our customer success manager even traveled across the country just to personally get to know each us in-person and validate all our needs were met. Highly recommend. No more legacy systems for PTC. **What do you dislike about RainFocus?** Costs were a bit high, but you are investing in a premium product. **What problems is RainFocus solving and how is that benefiting you?** They are constantly providing NEW features (based on requests) to help us consolidate event data, improve the attendee journey and maximize digital engagement. ## RainFocus Discussions - [What is RainFocus used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-rainfocus-used-for) - [View RainFocus pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/rainfocus/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-17+05%3A21%3A21+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=44b07f22-d055-4f18-86cd-5c85db8e9a68&secure%5Btoken%5D=af899a5026a78694523f991f82d44f1325a95e04be277ef8776d243706065aa0&format=llm_user) ## RainFocus Features **Registration** - Event creation - User registration process - Payment processing - Mobile check-in - On-site tickets and registration **Marketing and Communications** - Lead generation and retrieval - Social media promotion - Event website creation - Email customization - Contact list management **Administration** - Event Configuration - Event Marketing - Speaker Access and Control - Advanced Reporting **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Agentic AI - Event Planning** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Decision Making **Marketing and Communications** - Event website creation - Email automation - Email customization - Contact list management - Social media promotion - Lead generation and retrieval **Attendee Engagement** - Social media integrations - Attendee networking - Attendee surveys-attendee engagement **Virtual Experience** - Virtual Lobby - Built-In Webcasting - Webcasting Integrations - Cross-Device Functionality - Session / Agenda Management - Live Streaming & Recording - Registration & Attendee Management - Event Setup & Scheduling - Branding & Customization - Interactive Speaker / Moderator Controls **Agentic AI - Event Registration & Ticketing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration **Event Operations** - Supplier procurement - Hotel and transportation planning - Budget management - Session scheduling - Speaker submissions - Exhibition management **Registration** - Event creation - User registration process - Mobile check-in **Engagement** - Online Event Agenda - Interactive Content - 1:1 Networking - Exhibitors/Sponsorships - Gamification & Incentives - Real‑Time Interaction Tools - Networking / Matchmaking **Attendee Engagement** - Event agendas and schedules - Floor plans / maps - Social media integrations - Attendee networking - Attendee surveys **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Platform** - Performance and reliability - Reporting and dashboards - API / integrations - Multiple event management **Agentic AI - Virtual Event Platforms** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Administration / Support - Virtual Event Platforms** - Role‑Based Access & Permissions - Security & Compliance **Agentic AI - Event Management Platforms** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration **Agentic AI - Event Marketing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Insights & Scale - Virtual Event Platforms** - User Capacity & Reliability - Analytics & Reporting ## Top RainFocus Alternatives - [Cvent Event Marketing & Management](https://www.g2.com/products/cvent-event-marketing-management/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (2,075 reviews) - [Bizzabo](https://www.g2.com/products/bizzabo/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (431 reviews) - [RingCentral Events](https://www.g2.com/products/ringcentral-events/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (913 reviews)
