    Attendify
    Chose Attendify
    Attendify is my absolute favorite meeting app to work with. It is easy to manage, modify as needed, show attendees how to use and be interactive in and cost effective. There are very few times that I would suggest a different platform because of how versatile the app really is …

    Chose CrowdCompass
    CrowdCompass is better because with Attendify multiple admins supporting the event who wanted to be able to send notifications to specific people[was difficult]. With only one admin access account, I had to be the gatekeeper for all communication that went out.

    Chose CrowdCompass
    Not as many features or flexibility to make it your own (branding, layout, personalized icons/widgets).

    Chose CrowdCompass
    CrowdCompass' biggest deterrent is cost. If the client already has their own instance of Cvent, typically they will use CrowdCompass. If they do not then we typically look at other options, as many are much cheaper.

    Attendify
    I already recommended Attendify to a colleague in another department and he ended up using it! I give a rating of a 9 because it's a stellar product, especially for the price. It's great that you can even start building your virtual experience before you even purchase it. This helps visual learners like myself to see what it could potentially be like, work out for the desired use, etc. Overall, the platform is great for combining pre-recorded videos with live sessions. It helps provide a robust experience for attendees.

    Cvent
    CrowdCompass was the best part of Cvent each time I used it, from the ease of use to the customer service and handholding. I would recommend it for anyone using Cvent Event Management for an in-person event. I know Cvent just rolled out their virtual event hub though, so for virtual and hybrid events that are employing the Cvent family of tools, I would probably say CrowdCompass is unnecessary.

    Pros
    Attendify
    • Attendify's best quality is the ease of use. It sets up very quickly and with little knowledge of coding. You can be up and running for your event in half an hour.
    • Attendify has the best app for the best price. The app is designed to allow for ease of use with great social media applications. You can broadcast messages and even assign points for usage.
    • Attendify did an amazing job with developing a virtual event platform. You can use Attendify for everything or blend Zoom and other platforms in with Attendify. The end users just goes to the Attendify website or app and everything else is embedded in the platform. We have used it for multiple events and it has performed amazingly.

    Cvent
    • Provides attendees with their personalized schedules at their fingertips.
    • Facilitates networking through the ability to set appointments and send messages with other attendees, and inspires competition with The Game and Click challenges.
    • Gives attendees the ability to view handouts, take notes and download the information to their personal computers when they get back to their offices.

    Cons
    Attendify
    • Personalized Agendas - I do wish that when exporting a personalized agenda document that it would also include the group.
    • Social Wall - I would like if the social wall could include external social media inputs using a specific hashtag.
    • Attendees Groupings - It would be nice if attendee groupings could be updated through document import even after an attendee has logged into their profile.

    • Last year, the gamification did not allow much customization, which was a shame. I hope that by the time I am ready to build my 2020 app, this function has been expanded
    • The app to upload/edit push notifications was only available on iPhone so I had to have another team member handle that seems I have an android phone.
    • Emails (invites, etc.) often go to junk.

    Cvent
    It is very easy to use as everything is very intuitive. Configurating an app does not take too much time at the end, especially as soon as you already have done one as you can dupplicate the entire content. This is very practical when you use the app for annual events. Also few elements are not updatable once the app is published. Of course you can't change the entire design and the security settings which is a good thing anyway, but the entire content can be updated which allows you to publish your app quite early in advance to boost the engagement without having to wait to have everything in your hands (for instance the speakers bios or abstracts). Plus by adding more content regularly it encourage your audience to come back also regularly to check what is going on before the event.

    Once we paid for our apps, I felt like I was left to learn on my own. There are plenty of Help articles available, but no training sessions. I'm a visual learner and having to poke around and use trial and error to build the apps took way too much valuable time away from other parts of my job. It was frustrating and I brought it up with my CrowdCompass contact, but was told that they don't provide any training sessions and if I had questions I should refer to the Help articles or call support.

    Don't wait to register with Apple and Google. You can do a lot of prep work prior to setting up CrowdCompass for integration.

    Hopin's main benefit was a "keynote/livestream stage" that had a great feel, but the product was incredibly expensive. I also didn't like how they performed their product demos. I used Guidebook for years. They're great! But their software is not as engaging and unless it's changed due to COVID-19, they used to not be able to feature live sessions. It was more of a platform to utilize while you were at the live conference/event. It's my understanding that this was also how Attendify used to look, but it seems that they reimagined their product and invested resources to make it into what it is today.

    Easier to use interface that directly links with our Cvent registration system. We switched due to this integration, the gamification improvements, the benefits for on-site check-in and session selections, and ease of design/use for our builder team. We have especially enjoyed the New Attendee experience over the look/interface of our previous apps

    Return on Investment
    Attendify
    • Attendify has kept me in budget. As I have worked on multiple virtual events and with multiple apps, I find that much of my discretionary budget can be spent on apps or websites but Attendify has allowed me to save much of that budget and use it to enhance my offerings to my clients.

    • Positive - CrowdCompass has allowed us to eliminate paper programs thus saving thousands of dollars in printing and labor
    • Positive - the ability to send push notifications when there is a change to the schedule is something a paper program could never do
    • Positive - adoption rates have been so high we are looking into using the program for more and more events
