Attend by Event Farm vs. Aventri

Attend by Event Farm is well suited for big 100+ attendee events. For event(s) that require multiple check-ins at the same time this event app is great. Our staff downloads it on their phone or uses their computers and automatically register multiple people. For smaller events manual check-in still works great. For walk-ups it is not as easy to handle.

I believe Aventri has a big learning curve, so if you are short on time, I would recommend hiring someone who already has experience. We had a few months, but making changes took a while because only two staff members had time to figure out and learn the system. I don't think the website is very user-friendly, but I don't think it's so hard that the average worker cannot learn it. We happened to be short on time so learning the system was an added stress that would not normally be there.

Incentivized

• Manages class size limits very well.
• Provides information for hotel booking and transfers so that all this information is in one record.
• Unlimited number of pages for the website is invaluable - we looked at other programs with only 4 pages for the website and that just isn't enough for our clients.

Incentivized

• Faster actualization
• Upload excel sheet with customizable features

Incentivized

• Mobile app does not allow for video advertisements.
• The day the event is scheduled to be over in Aventri it clears from your list and it makes getting reporting and analytics difficult after the event is over.

I had a few issues while onsite (over the weekend). The support information given to me was incorrect and I had a hard time tracking down how to get assistance while onsite (on a weekend). When you are onsite, issues are usually heightened and need an immediate response, and I didn't get that.

SignUp4 was our previous service and performed well. It wasn't until after it shuttered that we realized how much more could be provided. Cvent (which absorbed SignUp4) provided many of the old solutions but at a significantly higher price. In the end, it seemed more suited for very large events more so than the size we normally run. Thus we chose eTouches to supplant SignUp4.

Incentivized

• For the price we pay it is great
• As a non-profit this is a great investment for our attendees and staff

Incentivized

• Much more thorough reporting than previous provider.
• The ability for long term goal creation based on the objectives evaluated post conference.
