Marg Bizzabo

It is fairly simple to use and the pricing is very "friendly" compared to other platforms.

Not suitable for our requirements.We encountered technical difficulties and the features were not what we needed.

Not suitable for our requirements

It's great to have an all-in-one registration and event app platform. The dashboards & portal are attractive and user-friendly.

It's quite frustrating that you don't have full customization of the registration confirmation emails that go to attendees.

Make sure everyone one your team who will touch Bizzabo goes through the on boarding process.

We are looking forward to the reduced printing cost and greater flexibility by having a mobile app to replace printed programs.

website creation with drag and drop, adapt in responsive ways

a few limits in email personalization related to the registration process

onsite interaction during a corporate event

The ease of creating a website and landing page and the admin dashboard with the tracking analytics are all good.

The salesforce integration was not exactly what we needed. Although it exists, it didn't seem to all encompassing integration we were hoping for. All that to say, when a single person bought two tickets in Bizzabo it didn't seem to make the right connection to salesforce that 2 tix were sold to 2 individuals from the same company, thus the event tracking within salesforce had to be manually checked on daily to ensure our sales records were correct. Our SFDC admin had many calls with their support team members (who were great but never quite came to a solution that we felt was promised in the initial agreement with Bizzabo.

Also would have loved to see a way for the LIVE event agenda to be displayed on an HTML page that we could put on screens around our event. I know that there are embedding links that are provided, but that would require some coding and custom page setup on our own...and the page wouldn't be LIVE either.

Event registration, event website, and event agenda posting

As an event manager, Bizzabo has most everything I need to promote and manage my event. The reason we purchased it is because it comes with an integrated website to promote the event. We didn't want to start from scratch building an event website.

I've come across many limitations with customizing the website via CSS and the agenda builder tool is pretty unwieldy.

The software is constantly being improved and in the meanwhile, the staff is very eager to help you through any limitations it might have.

Using this tool we were able to save money by reducing our reliance on third-party meeting planners, as the system allows us to manage a lot of the details ourselves.
