Mini Calendar vs. Trumba Comparison Chart

Pros

• Trumba is easy to use, and learn for website menu display! In one sitting I was able to view, and learn the program, ready to set up the calendar on my own the next day! Very helpful in communicating information across a college campus.
• I work for a Trauma hospital doing injury prevention, education and outreach events. I have found Trumba to be very helpful and user friendly. I have not had an issues using this platform and am very happy thus far. Support staff have been very helpful especially when I was new in my role.
• Website integration using custom embedded calendar "spuds." Easy setup for both free and paid event registrations. Precise attendee tracking, custom fields, and real-time report exports. Customizable styling that effortlessly matches organizational branding. Creating promotional discount codes (dollar amount or percentage off) for paid event registrations.
• The best feature that I have put to use is the Event Request Form. I'm sure there are many other features I have not utilized.
• Setting up my initial training invite was easy and included all the details needed for sign‑ups. I love how this system lets me send out placeholders to those registering for my training events.
• It's reliable, fairly easy to use, and has a lot of extras that my readers enjoy. I can create "spin-off" calendars that only show certain events, and readers can easily add events to their calendars
• Easy to use, kinda of a swiss-army knife of calendaring - does it all. PLUS the service is the best of any software I've ever used.
• I love Trumba! We have integrated It into our intranet and public site. We have used it for over 12 years, and I can't remember it ever going down—we never worry about its reliability. It is also flexible and very customizable. As well as making it possible for people to sign up for events, we use it to collect event registration fees, which integrates well with our payment processor, enabling us to avoid holding on to sensitive credit-card data. I especially love how easy it is to communicate with people who have registered for events using its email notification features. It also makes collecting custom information needed for events easy (such as dietary needs, T-shirt size, or other event-specific information.) Another pro is the ability to designate multiple calendar editors who can then manage their own sub-calendars. This takes a lot of the burden off of the system administrator and gives people the access they need. The permissions model works very well, making it possible to give sub-administrators access to only the calendars they need. I also feel like Trumba's support has been top-notch. We are supported by people who really know the product. I know that if I need something, they will respond quickly. And they continue to make feature upgrades that make a real difference to the user experience. I could go on and on!
• It is very easy to use and set up programs, sell tickets and offer refunds. Great customer service with a person who knows your business and you.
• Trumba is highly customizable and flexible, and syncs beautifully across all our integrated systems. We have multiple calendars that reflect all facets of student life and come from several locations-- academics, athletics, extracurriculars, etc. They all come together easily in Trumba!
