zkipster

Pros: Really god and very much impressed and like the software.

Cons: The price is kinda high but if added features are available, then it's a win.

Pros: I've been using zkipster for managing events, and it has completely transformed the way I handle guest lists and check-ins. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to create, edit, and organize guest lists in minutes.

Cons: Although the platform offers detailed insights, the reporting templates feel somewhat rigid, making it challenging to tailor them to specific needs.

Pros: Zkipster was favored by users due to its easy-to-use interface, smooth event coordination, and mobile accessibility, which greatly simplified guest handling and event planning. Also commended was the prompt customer service.

Cons: Since it can be time-consuming to start from scratch every time, it would be useful to have a template tool to establish a generic template for invitations.

Pros: Creating forms for guests to fill out and having automated confirmations sent are two things I like most.

Cons: I wish you could customize forms more, even just simple text/color options and I always have issues when it comes to couples. Often the salutation is Dear x and y but there isn’t a way to do it unless you add both names to the first name field.

Pros: The support team is very responsive and open to receiving feedback. They are quick to address bugs and keep us up to date on progress.

Cons: I don't always find the formatting to be intuitive and there are definitely some weird formatting of text happening. A tiny bit of a learning curve there.

Pros: The ability to create face sheets in alphabetical order for our events

Cons: We've had issues accessing some of our archival photos for the face sheets.

Pros: Great for guest management - especially seated dinners!

Cons: Email interface - it is clunky and has limited design capabilities.

Pros: I love how user friendly it is and that you can access it anywhere on your phone. I also love that multiple people can work on it at the same time and it's easy to train staff on.

Cons: The fact that you can't do large theater seating by dragging and dropping. I wish Zkipster would also upload existing theaters that many groups use into their system instead of having to build theaters as a user.

Pros: easy to search and check in guests for our concert VIP programs

Cons: people can add themselves to my list with the QR code

Pros: the ease of product, ability to add users, subscription based

Cons: More report abilities, more design aspects on the comms side

Pros: I like the professional appearance of our invitations and the "add to calendar" functions.

Cons: We occasionally experience issues with Zkipster messages landing in "unfocused" inboxes or spam/junk folders.

Pros: Ease and accuracy of being able to send outreach and track RSVPs.

Cons: You have to start invitations from scratch each time, with there was a template feature in which you could create a general template to reuse.

Pros: That I can use it on my phone and is very intuitive.

Cons: Well.. it left me hanging a few times in a few events recently ... it seems that you cannot use the app in different devices at the same time .. I had to be logged in 3 ipads (that were all mine) but were set in different places physically and this did not work, so I had to be running around the place.. Also, while using it on the computer the app does not work as fast -- and you cannot filter the search as much as it'd be useful - for example know how many people from one same company have arrived or check -in .. you have to count them manually.

Pros: Was able to start using it to send invitations to events with a minimum of practice/training. I like how easy it is to import/export guest list information and to capture information about dietary/access reqs. Also the check-in feature is very easy to use, and makes greeting people very smooth with a minimum of fuss/button pressing. Our account syncs up really well between devices which means during busy events it's easy to keep track of who has arrived and how many etc. I like that you can search guests by their name/surname or email, makes it very easy to use alongside our other databases.

Cons: A couple of (hopefully) helpful suggestions: It's not always that easy to paste copy into text box when making a communication, and sometimes it's difficult to change the font. It would also be great if there were more fonts available, particularly Aptos, to be more compatible with Word or other programmes. Also I think earlier in the year the functionality of the test email changed, so that any form confirmations would actually be sent to the test user even if the email used was not theirs. This led to some of our donors receiving 'sorry you're not able to join us' emails prior to receiving the invitation to the event. It would have been nice to have been notified in advance that this change would take effect - there was a notification on the site but only after this had taken place. And actually, it would be great if we could test the functionality of form responses without an email being sent out, as before. Thanks!

Pros: The ability to easily organise dinners and share dietary requirements with the venue

Cons: It's a bit trick to organise the guests in the system, therefore, you need to do that beforehand

Pros: It is super easy to use and has a nice interface. The seating tool is incredibly easy to use and great!

Cons: I think the subscription (monthly and yearly) is way too high. As an event agency you can't estimate how many events you will host in a year where you need zkipster, as the planning becomes more and more short notice. I would appreciate a "agency" friendly solution with reduced prices.

Pros: The handy features that shave valuable time off of completing tasks such as seating, creating custom floor plans, exporting guest lists.

Cons: A bit of clunkiness with the seating plans. It's not quite designed for stadium/rowed theatre seating.

Pros: The ability to seamlessly manage multiple events simultaneously. My team has used Zkipster for years now and it is an essential tool for our events to deliver outstanding results.

Cons: We would love the ability to have face charts downloadable to share with internal stakeholders ahead of events.

Pros: User friendly. Quick set up. Seating plan is great and relationships are a good addition. Multiple floorplans are a great addition too.

Cons: Check in fields need to automatically fill in info. I need to do it myself in each profile. Long procedure.

Pros: I love the seating and Guest Facesheet features.

Cons: There are nuances to using the application and some features that are missing that customers would like to have.

Pros: I onboarded zkipster to my new firm. It is a life saver for automating event campaigns and tracking capabilities. I cannot imagine hosting an event without it.

Cons: I would love to have zkipster integrate a CRM add on. This will help us build out our rolodex of VIP clients and easily pull the relevant data.

Pros: The way the Customer account managers are so helpful and truly there for you.

Cons: It's a con but not really, having to add certain users to each event, but I actually love the filtering and customization of user features. Not a con.
