ClearEvent

Pros: Easy to use and copy events from previous years to streamline setup for the next year.

Cons: The mobile interface for the event management portal doesn't size to where I could approve vendors from my phone.

Pros: I am so happy with my purchase of the ClearEvent Software. First, and foremost, I truly appreciate the quick response time when I ask for help. The messaging component makes it really easy to chat and it keeps a running record of our conversations to look back at. I requested various items for the software and the ClearEvent team was able to make it into functionality.

Cons: The thing I like least about ClearEvent is not being able to change a fee type in a registration once the registrant completes the process. I have provided feedback to ClearEvent on it and, once again, they are very receptive to the information to see about ways they can make improvements.

Pros: Customer service was top notch (especially [sensitive content hidden]!). The platform was easy to navigate and very user friendly.

Cons: Honestly, I don't have any cons that I can think of!

Pros: It's great to be able to coordinate and assign tasks to volunteers from one place - it's extremely useful especially for events that rely heavily on volunteer help.

Cons: Well, although the platform is quite complete, it can initially be overwhelming.

Pros: Clear Event offers a complete event management system and full support team to help us middle-aged, tech challenged users cross over into the new world. We promote a mid-sized event (500-600 ppl) and this app has helped to facilitate efficiency and accountability. I lost my tech person and have had to learn and do many of the back-end items myself. This has placed me in multiple contacts with their customer support and their service has been outstanding. They have went above and beyond to understand my event, my goals and teach me how to make it a reality within the platform.

Cons: If there is anything negative I would say is to keep in mind users like me who do not use tech or are in constant on the job learning mode. Think about the ease of finding subject matter. I think this can be achieved by involving non frequent tech people in your overview videos to understand how we may think which is quite different then the tech brain until we understand it. Otherwise, every time we use the app we feel like we have to relearn or learn the processes.

Pros: Me gusta que ClearEvent ayuda a la ahorrar tiempo, dinero y recursos mejorando la experiencia de los asistentes y los colaboradores del evento.

Cons: Por el momento no tengo quejas, es una buena herramienta.

Pros: I had a specific list of features I needed when I started researching event-planning software, and ClearEvent was the one that checked the most boxes. In fact, there was not another option that I would have paid for, so if not for ClearEvent, I'd still be running my events as I always have.

Cons: Event layout design is the only feature missing that I'd like to see, though there are other resources available that might be better than an in-house event layout design.

Pros: Out of the box we're able to manage multiple events without a hitch. The software does everything we need, and to be honest we haven't even had the time to explore a number of features which would probably be useful to us.

Cons: The budgeting tools are in that grey area where we try to keep track of "actual" vs budgeted, but for expenses tracking the hotels make it so convoluted that we are doing our budgeted vs actual for expenses on a separate spreadsheet. Not the fault of ClearEvent - just the way house accounts at hotels become a mish-mash of accounting.

Pros: We have yet to go live, but the process of preparing my registration forms and working on the things that must be signed by the applicant in this digital system has been pretty easy. The support is wonderful, attentive and quick to help. I am confident that this will be the best experience we have ever had taking applications for our parade, handling the funds and organizing the lineup.

Cons: Learning new software is hard. I have picked it up but there are always frustrations at the bottom of the learning curve... sometimes I don't know what it is I'm looking at, or what each feature really does. The information is on the site, I just have to find it and if I can't, I ask and it doesn't take long for the answer to come.

Pros: Ease of use and our rep [sensitive content hidden] has been incredibly helpful and responsive!

Cons: This is not applicable. There is nothing we don't like about it.

Pros: I needed a lot of help setting up my vendor forms and [sensitive content hidden] went above and beyond in helping me! He was kind and supportive and helped give me the confidence to navigate the program.

Cons: It is pretty complicating when you first start out. Having a person there to walk me through it was essential.

Pros: ClearEvent had the features I was looking for at a price that was affordable.

Cons: Having an interactive booth layout map where booths show as unavailable when taken would be helpful.

Pros: This app has a very common sense approach and it has a lot of great features like the easy to access share links and invitations. We still have a lot to learn, but I'm looking forward to it!

Cons: Nothing for this, so far I've liked it all.

Pros: I love that everything is contained all in one place and that all the moving pieces of an event talk to each other and stay connected. The budget feature is fantastic as well as the communication features. It makes it so easy to communicate with our attendees.

Cons: Some features are a little less intuitive than others. I find I sometimes want more complicated feature sets than what are available. Overall I usually find a workaround or hear that Clear Event will be updating soon.

Pros: $79

Cons: Cons? Nope! Not a one! However, if I could make a wish list, I would like to see the implementation of SMS, which I believe ClearEvent may be working on—also, maybe some more functionality concerning uploading graphics, perhaps even short video clips (15 to 30 seconds).

Pros: Very easy navigation on the page. enlightening page

Cons: I wouldn't change it, I thought it was excellent

Pros: We loved the integration with Stripe for taking payments, because this was our first time charging people to attend our conference. It worked flawlessly. We also really liked the fact that you can create so many custom registration forms, because it helped us as a team make sure everyone was registered correctly. And, we thought the tool was really well designed. Running an event in an online tool will always be complex, but the Clear Event layout/UX was really good and made it about as easy as it can be.

Cons: None that I can remember! We don't really have any complaints.

Pros: This app will walk you through what is needed to quickly launch your event, and if you have any questions, the support is bar none! They would help with any question I had and even gave me some better suggestions on what to do after I explained what I was needing. Everything you need to run an event is all in one place. There is seriously too many things I could list which are great about this software!

Cons: Probably could make the text boxes bigger on the registrations so you can see more text than the "..." with no way to extend the field (they actually fixed that in a matter of days). It would be nice to have a delete all button on the invite section in case you need to import a new list, but again, there was a work around for that. Lastly, maybe a vendor/sponsor floor plan which could be interactive.

Pros: We manage multiple events, and this software allows us to view, manipulate and monitor each event separately.

Cons: We are still learning the software, but any limitations have been addressed and will be implemented in the future. Our support team member has been great in assisting with any work-arounds.

Pros: $7a

Cons: I haven't fully completed an event yet, so can't too much here. They are adding time zone conversion functionality which will be helpful. I would also appreciate a little more control over the design/appearance of the event page.

Pros: It's great for keeping all your information in one place. Very affordable considering all the options available. They are always fast to respond and consider all requests provided to them. Highly recommend considering ClearEvent.

Cons: We are hoping there will be a check-in process for registrants soon.

Pros: Clearevent is a fabulous all-inclusive tool, with great customer service. The software truly helps to keep our team organized. It's ability to process online registrations and payments has really helped us improve our engagement with event vendors and participants.

Cons: There are few things not to like about the Clearevent software. Like any new tool, it takes time to train users (both myself, colleagues and event participants). The investment is worth it however.

Pros: Our organization hosts a $75,000 annual event, with 300 plus vendors, 100 plus volunteers and 28,000 attendees. We couldn't do it without Clear Event. We are actively using the platform for 6 months out of the year. Like that a) it easily integrates with our website/online presence b) can send messages at a scheduled time c) we can pay automatically as we go

Cons: a) would like to figure out a way to assign vendor locations automatically (or semi-automatically, just making it a part of the process) b) Our website uploads slowly for vendor registration - I'll try to make our website a little less clunky, but would love to figure out how to make referrals back and fourth between our sites more seamless.
