What do you like best about Universe?

Universe makes it easy to create events within their platform, and offers features such as the ability to create 'donation' tickets, and multiple different prices for different instances of an event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universe?

The lack of customizable or controllable integration within your site is a huge letdown. Beyond integrating their widgets or pop-up UI, there isn't a great deal you can do. You can't influence the purchasing flow at all, you can't provide or receive custom information to tie a purchase back to a user account on your site (like how stripe offers). It makes the benefits over alternatives like eventbrite questionable at best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Universe allows me to create events quickly and easily, and start selling tickets almost immediately. It offers a secure and user-friendly checkout and integrates easily with Stripe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Universe?

The benefit is that we can manage all the steps involved in the sale of tickets for the various events organized and carried out by the company. It gives us the option to manage refunds. The control panel allows us to visualize and adapt to its operation instantaneously. Finally, and in order not to extend myself with Universe, we can be in constant monitoring of ticket sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universe?

If the amount of number of events is a period of time is high we can notice slowness in the system. Clients eventually complain about having good access that allows them to review the list of company events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Universe:

Although certain system failures are appreciated, it is clear that they are committed to continuous improvement and objectively we can appreciate the service-cost, cost-benefit relationship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has improved my performance in the creation of regular events that are done in the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Universe?

I did like the ticket widget integration into my website, however now they simply offer a link versus a ticket widget or even button integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universe?

Many features have gone down hill—from ticket integration to customer service to an overall quirky software. I will set the parameters for my ticket sales dates and sometimes, for some reason, they will randomly change-closing the ticketing dates before the set date. I've checked this several times to see if I had just made a mistake about the date I selected, but it changes many times. I'm in the process of switching to to EventGrid.

The customer service has gone hill as well. Several people simply don't return my emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Universe:

I would test it out on less important events to see if there are quirks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Selling tickets from my website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Universe?

I have tried two other software solutions before Universe, but this one I found to be the simlest and the most user-friendly. One time I had my mom to set up a charity event and she managed to do it all by herself, even though she is not computer savvy to say the least. The interface is very intuitive.

It is also quick - few minutes of setting up and you are ready to take payments. That's very convenient as well.

Honestly, I am pretty sure, that I sell more tickets with it than I would have without it. But I am so used to it now, I cannot imagine setting up a gig any other way.

Also their customer service is great.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universe?

I did have trouble with the mobile application, nowadays you sort of expect software to come with fully-featured app by default, so that was quite frustrating.

It is not, as I say, "worldwide-friendly" - it is in English. I often organize gigs in Russia and Slovakia, so there I prefer to use local similar systems, some of which have larger fee.

Also some people, I think, might find the design feature to be a bit limited. Not much of a problem in my case - I usually organize typical gigs. Reports are not too informative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Universe:

If you need something to help you to organize small and medium gigs, and save you a lot of time, and not charge you too much this one is for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have tried different software before, one - was too expensive, the other I found to be too cumbersome. This one suits me better so far. Basically it saves me a lot of time on the organizing and I will definitely keep using it in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Universe?

It is very easy and convenient to use. I can simply go on the web page of Universe and start my event and easily sell the tickets. As a teacher, I often organize events for my students and this simple software helps me greatly. It is very easy to navigate. It solves several tasks: organizing, promotion, managing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universe?

I can not complain as I like it a lot. I am sure with the development of progress there will be some new and more advanced software programs to use. Maybe some negative features will be noticed later by me, but for now I am absolutely happy using Universe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Universe:

I would highly recommend to use Universe if you are involved in organizing any kind of events. If you are a small event organizing or a big company, it will be a very useful. Specially Ticket manager is a very beneficial feature that can solve many problems at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am involved in organizing international educational events, such as conferences and with the help of this software I can easily do it online, starting from promotion and ticking up to complete managing it online. It saves my time, very logical and easy to follow. I can easily track the sells of the tickets and manage guests of the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Universe?

Everything is simple, clear and intuitive. Anytime I wondered "hey, how do I do this?" it was exactly how I figured it should be. Anytime I thought "Hey, if this was really a good tool, it would have this" and it did. Also, it just looks good. The site is clean and well designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universe?

I don't have any real complaints yet. I suppose there could be a few more options for website design but honestly I liked what I used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Universe:

just use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This allows me to promote an event and sell tickets with ease, and it takes away so much of the logistical stress and paperwork trail of trying to do it in-house (which is especially tricky for a non-profit like us). Another benefit is that I am working in partnership with other folks to put on an event, and using Universe allows us to promote it generically, not associated with just our organization.
