Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Event Essentials has been my go-to event management company for over 5 years. Their reliable ticket purchasing software is flexible and updates easily. Ticket buyer data collection is valuable to support promotion, to send updates and alerts, and allows follow up on customer satisfaction. Staff responds quickly to emails and performs requests rapidly. Their “hands-on” participation makes one feel you have reliable partners. They continue to help raise the bar on event presentation with creative input that is customized to support our goals.
  • I've had nothing but good experiences with Event Essentials and their software / service. They're on the forefront with this software and tech in general.

Cons

  • In over 5 years working with Event Essentials, I have never been disappointed in their services.
  • I had a good experience and don't have any complaints.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Great support, very responsive. Super easy to use. Cost-effective. Payment processing integrations. Zoom integration.
  • So easy to use, very user friendly. Also, great customer service! Fast and friendly, totally understood our needs.
  • Exceptional customer service, great end-user interface for our customers, effective ticket-scanning app, efficient event setup process, clean administrator user interface, and the best-possible pricing structure for our operation.
  • Easy to use, not cluttered with excess features. Works well on mobile and PC. Company is responsive to support requests.
  • Team was responsive and helpful with questions, new interface was clean and easy to use. I really like the feature of being able to import guests and then being able to find your attendees and resend/download the ticket if they cannot find them. The easy entry app is great to use and tracks everyone you scan in.

Cons

  • Nada, really. I haven't found one thing I dislike about the platform.
  • I have NO complaints! This is perfect and so easy!
  • Ticket-scanning app (Event Organizer) can be buggy every once in a while, ticket checkout landing page is not fully customizable, full customer information does not pull in to our payment processing system (Square), not able to pull entire order/attendee list for a single event that has multiple event times (eg, ten events at a single venue over the course of three weeks).
  • The prior version (several years ago) had some issues, but the current version works very well and we have no complaints.
  • Needed to have their team customize the ticket design- we couldn't do that ourselves. Tickets do end up landing in junk email folders after being sent out.
