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

  • - vFairs creates a virtual environment seamlessly. - The event becomes engaging and fun to interact. - The platform is user-friendly and can be set up and use easily.
  • It was an absolute joy to work with Vish, Arora and team for our second SOFE conference! They work seamlessly as a team to provide top notch service and are always willing to take on more.
  • vFairs is a complete one stop virtual shop! Not only does the Sales Team, Development Team, the Trainers go the extra mile, but the Project Managers will take your event(s) and turn them into more than you could ever imagine.
  • The customer service Vfairs provides is like no other platform I've produced events for. They make everything easy for you, though "live" or pre-recorded tutorials, and regularly scheduled update meetings to make sure your project is moving consistently with your timeline.
  • Working with the VFairs team was wonderful. Very communicative, quick and professional. Their team is outstanding to work with.

Cons

  • - The backend is somewhat challenging to operate in vFairs. Aside from this, the platform is amazing to use.
  • None - we had nothing major affect the outcome of our conference. Everything that needed updating or correcting was done expeditiously.
  • My personal preference is to pick-up the phone to reach tech support for assistance, but all I have to do is send an email and I receive a response IMMEDIATELY.
  • Attendees often complain about having to sign in with their email address every time they enter a session.
  • We had no cons, even the difference in time zones. Their team was still very responsive during appropriate working hours.
