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

  • It's user friendly to enter information. It's pretty simple, nothing too special or extravagant.

Cons

  • Information entered into the system does NOT appear the same on everyone's computers. Several people can enter information in the same file and you will not be able to see it. Meaning data can be entered in doubles. It also sometimes completely deletes entries. The automation aspect of receipts is very spotty, some days I will get notifications of every entry, other days I'll only get half.
