Best meeting app platform: Attendify!
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Attendify is used by the Event Technology department for client and internal meetings. Instead of having to hand out paper agendas and send lots of email with meeting information basic and personalized for attendees and staff at the meeting we load this information into the app and notify attendees of the app approximately a few days to a week before the meeting so they can access content and receive notifications all in one place.
Pros
- Personalized schedules - I absolutely love the excel grid that attendify uses to personalize schedules, makes it much easier when you can see names and emails vs trying to use some ID code.
- Private Distribution - Allowing clients to have apps with personalized icons and names instead of having to use a hub app is perfect for many larger clients with strict branding policies.
- Layout of the app - The overall layout of the app is much more appealing and smoother. You only see sections that we use and want, in other apps there are sections that we may not use that we cannot hide because they are hard coded into the layout.
- Social Content - Exporting all content from the app is very smooth and easy, allowing clients to receive a file of all information rather than having to go in and download it themselves and try to share with others. Also managing/editing/hiding content that is posted by attendees is able to be done and easy to do, other apps I have had to get support on the phone and have a developer hide a posting that had improper spelling.
- Attendee Import - The amount of data that Attendify allows you to import is great including profile photos which most other apps don't allow.
Cons
- 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
For private distribution and specific branding/naming of an app, Attendify is the best option. If you are having to personalize agendas or having different agendas for different groups, Attendify makes the solution easy to build and manage.
If you use Cvent and have sessions built in there already and the client is happy to buy and build their own container app and distribute all apps through it, then you should look at other options.
