Overall, our experience with Cvent OnArrival 360 has been very positive. It has helped streamline our event operations, especially during check-in, and has made the process more efficient for both our team and attendees. As we continue to use the platform, we keep discovering new features that add value, and we appreciate that Cvent consistently enhances the system with new capabilities.
Pros: Cvent OnArrival 360 has made our event check-in process much smoother and more efficient. The platform is easy to use, and our team continues to get more value from it as we learn its features. We also appreciate that Cvent improves the system and adds new services, which helps us enhance the overall attendee experience
Cons: There can be a bit of a learning curve when first getting started, especially when exploring more advanced features. Some functions are not immediately intuitive, and it can take time for the team to fully understand and utilize everything the platform offers.

DAMLA E. · Senior manager · Education Management · April 7, 2026
Overall, I’ve had a great experience with Cvent OnArrival. It keeps our check‑in process smooth and efficient and saves our team a lot of time onsite. The only challenge is the initial setup, which isn’t always intuitive, but once you get the hang of it, the system works incredibly well.
Pros: I like that Cvent OnArrival is very easy to use and makes attendee check‑in extremely fast. It saves a significant amount of time onsite, and the ability to print badges on demand is a huge advantage.
Cons: The biggest drawback is how difficult the setup can be, especially for new users. A lot of key functions are hidden within the backend, and the navigation isn’t always intuitive, which can make configuration more time‑consuming than expected.
Kayla S. · Event Manager · Events Services · March 17, 2026
Pros: OnArrival is easy to use and works seamlessly for badge printing and/ or capturing attendance for in-person events.
Cons: It is expensive compared to some other tools making it difficult to utilize for events with limited budget.
Anonymous User · Marketing Events Manager · Computer Software · February 17, 2026
This is actually one of the easiest parts of the meeting I produce. After using it for 5 conferences, I feel confident in OnArrival getting the job done.
Pros: OnArrival is a great tool for tracking attendee check-in and badge printing. It offers tons of reports and the individual session scanning works well onsite and provides accurate counts to track event no-shows. The kiosk system is very intuitive in self check in and manual “face to face” modes. Looking at peak live registration numbers over 4 iPads, registration staff were able to easily check in close to 200 attendees in under an hour. Cvent also offers lots of staffing support in the lead up and onsite to ensure a smooth rollout and use.
Cons: This software is quite pricey so allocate a healthy budget if you are using this system. Because badges are an essential part of our meeting security, I feel it is worth it.
Rhea B. · Director of Events · Non-Profit Organization Management · November 28, 2025
Great overall experience. Learned to access the software with very little prior knowledge. 1. I currently use Cvent OnArrival to manage the registration process, check-in staff members and view statistics on the registration process. I am often able to determine if a second day of registration expense is required based on the data pulled from OnArrival.
Pros: The ability to use multiple check-in stations while continuing to access registration details in Cvent OnArrival. Create specialized reports based on the type of event and information requested by stakeholders.
Cons: Least favorite aspect is the inability to turn Cvent OnArrival off credit the event back to the contract.
Jennifer H. · Event Operations Advisor · Non-Profit Organization Management · June 9, 2025
Pros: We use this in conjunction with Cvent as our check in process. Love the functionality of it for our printing.
Cons: Wish the larger OnArrival printers were more readily available. Pricing is too high for our standard events. Never sure if our stock from PC Namtag works with our printer until we have it on hand. Wish there was more knowledge about that.
Jessica B. · Marketing Events Specialist · Information Technology and Services · August 1, 2019
The registration is very important because it is the first image perceived by the attendees of the event, in addition to its proper development depend on other aspects of the event. Doing it quickly and without errors is assured with On Arrival.
Pros: On Arrival allows the organizers of an event to save time by automating the registration, printing of credentials or identification cards and payments of those participants who had not registered in advance. It also offers the option that this process can be managed by the participant himself.
Cons: I think that its disadvantage is not in the system itself, but in the fact that these technological deployments are not necessary for small events, because in these cases it is easy to handle all the procedures manually, it would then represent an unnecessary cost.
Maribel L. · Licenciada en Turismo · Higher Education · February 27, 2019
This software is something we only use for the largest, most complicated events we have because of the cost but it really does help modernize the onsite experience and make it more efficient. If you are using the CVENT family of event tools, it makes a lot of sense to look at all the options to use what works for your particular event. If you decide to use OnArrival with CVENT, you have your registration information integrated so you just need to determine how you want the badges to print and what options or features they include.
Pros: We usually manually print out, prep and organize badges and for big events it becomes a huge task that takes a lot of time and manpower. OnArrival makes the process very quick and easy by printing badges on demand and keeping track of them automatically. Badge details can be fully customized so that opens up a lot of possibilities for large events with many registration types and options that go along with them.
Cons: The ease of printing badges on demand also makes reprinting and wasting badges a lot easier and it leads to producing a huge amount of additional waste. Using the system means you are dependent on a networked environment and also the printing machines that can cause delays when they malfunction.
Anonymous User · Digital Projects Coordinator · Non-Profit Organization Management · November 14, 2018
Pros: The software was really easy to use, integrated seamlessly with our Cvent web events, and collected onsite payment all in a one-stop-shop
Cons: The thing i disliked the most was that it functioned best with Cvent events - we didn't have great luck with the events side of things, which made it challenging to push for OnArrival, even though this side of the technology functioned really well.
Anonymous User · Director, Events + Marketing · Education Management · September 28, 2018
Pros: It's almost a no brainer - so simple to hand off a tablet to a volunteer, given them a 2 minute tutorial and walk away knowing they will check your attendees in quite easily.
Cons: I wish it linked with other event reg systems and wasn't tied solely to Cvent
Amanda S. · Manager · Music · September 20, 2018
Pros: Fast and easy in-person event check-in/registration. It also has the ability to link to onsite credit card processors which allow for fast transactions for event registrations, onsite donations, raffles, auctions, etc. to increase onsite fundraising.
Cons: I don't love that it's linked to the Cvent event registration platform as I find that platform more challenging and cumbersome to work in, but OnArrival is a simple and functional check-in system.
Allison L. · SMD, Events · Marketing and Advertising · September 6, 2018
Pros: Love Cvent - in general - and their on-site attendee management software just makes all their management tools come together.
Cons: Cvent is a rather expensive event management software. I wish they would lover their pricing a touch.
Ida K. · Founder and CEO · March 17, 2018
Pros: This software is great for checking in and attendee tracking. We use it for our smaller annual meetings where we need to know when specific people check-in/arrive. It is able to send me an alter via text or email that lets me know that the specific person has checked-in. Great feature and helps with our guest services at the event.
Cons: Must be knowledgeable about the software ahead of time. Not ideal for those who are not familiar with the product. Temporary staff takes a bit of time to get used to it. But it is overall easy to use. Just harder for some older folks to grasp.
Tim S. · Registration Specialist · January 16, 2018
If your event is large (> 100 attendees) I would think this would be worth it. Otherwise not.
Pros: The OnArrival software eases event check-in and badge printing. It does a great job at that. And it interfaces well with the underlying database in Cvent's event management system.
Cons: We used On Arrival once. While it was nice and slick, it was very expensive. We went back to a manual check-in procedure and that went just fine.
Anonymous User · Interim Registrar · Higher Education · December 29, 2017
Pros: As a CVENT user, OnArrival is great for on site event check in and registration management. It saves a lot of time when you have a participant that did not pre-register show up... Instead of having them go through the whole registration process, you can quickly add them from your iPad and they are in the system and marked as a participant.
Cons: To get the full functionality of OnArrival you have to be willing to pay... My CVENT contract only includes the basic version (which is awesome... don't get me wrong) but the higher packages have session tracking, and sign in features which would be very useful with my larger event and some trainings. The high prices are hard to justify with the costs we already have from CVENT.
Amber E. · Administrator · July 13, 2017
Our attendees were very impressed with the ease of the registration process, since we used it on a trial basis we have gotten approval from management to purchase.
Pros: Everything from packaging, easy set up, and user friendly software. Attendees were impressed with how easy and fast it was to get registered and get their name badges.
Marilyn Q. · Marketing Coordinator · Medical Devices · June 27, 2017
We used to check people in with a manual paper checklist. Using OnArrival has made things more efficient and accurate since the app will tell us about any issues with registrations. It is easy for anyone to learn and use. Not much more to say about this because it just works as intended and works very well.
Pros: Easy to use, saves a ton of time and confusion.
Cons: Nothing.
