User Testimonials
Webex Events (formerly Socio)Zuddl
Likelihood to Recommend
I think it would work for:
  • Workshops with many people.
  • Quarterly's meetings with people all around the world.
  • If you want to create a digital training with lots of participants...
I feel like it's not as needed in videocalls that can be fixed with webex teams because of the number of participants or at events that need a more personal approach where you need everyone constantly interacting.

There are very few programs that give you an organic experience to carry out the creation of multiple events dictated by our company, Zuddl is an excellent software that has a great price, once this program is installed you will have the best functions at hand to manage events of great projection and that involve a large number of people on the web, I always recommended it because of how effective it has been for us.

Pros
  • It has quite a few optional and customizable features that can be utilized.
  • It's easy to integrate your existing tools like Zoom, YouTube, Vimeo, and streaming services.
  • It's flexible in the way that you upload content in that you can enter things one at a time on the website, or use a spreadsheet to upload a larger amount of content.

  • Screen Sharing during presentations
  • video clarity while on the lap top and app

Cons
  • The standard template to build out the community is pretty rigid. We had to adjust some of our styling and graphics to account for what Socio's template allowed.
  • Inability for event admins to make account changes for users. Several times we had users change jobs, therefore, changing their emails. Each time, we had to go through Socio support to get them access to their account.
  • Documentation and knowledgebase could be more substantive.

  • The dependence of this program on a good internet flow is very high, most of the options require being connected to the cloud to automate and pre-establish certain very simple options.
  • This program may not be the fastest to run, it is very easy to use, but to be honest the functions can be tedious and slow to implement.

Of course something could happen to our orgs ability to put on a conference or Socio could fundamentally change their product or their customer service - but barring any magor shift there is nothing that is even close to competing for our attention here.

Usability
Some Android users could not get the app to work, so they had to use the web-based version of our conference guide. Most functionality was still there, but they could not pull up the QR code, which impeded the registration process. The presence of the log in with Apple ID button caused issues because most work emails were not attached to Apple ID, which caused access issues.

Socio (now WebexEvents) is one of two products I use that gets customer service right. Not only can you get an answer from an actual person quickly during business hours - but if you are asking after hours, you know the response will be waiting for you in the morning. Not only are they fast, but they are also smart about their products and customers. There is very little back and forth trying to explain the problem I am having, or the new way I am trying to use their product, that may even be novel for them.

WebEx Events has the same functionality as many other platforms, but with a more affordable price tag. I have also found it to be more intuitive and easy to use on the user side. I don't have experience on the administrative side with other platforms but we have been very satisfied with our experience with WebEx Events.

Zuddl has been more user friendly and compared to teams and zoom. Having the chatrooms and networking tab has allowed for great communication within the teams. We have been able to work through large projects without the hassle of sending emails back and forth. It is like a one stop shop.

Return on Investment
  • We had more sponsorship applications than usual due to using Webex and the multiple sponsorship capabilities.
  • We had more attendance than in previous years due to using Webex since it is so incredibly user-friendly.
  • We increased ROI by using Webex over other platforms due to pricing and features.

  • One of the most common aspects that are shown every time we use Zuddl is the order and administration in each of the events, regardless of the amount of information that is handled in each of the projects.
  • When we want to manage and provide an excellent service to more than 500 participants, the best option will always be Zuddl, since this program is programmed to respond to large-scale events.
