Testimonials from companies that made the switch

5/5

Here are the main reasons – and yes, these were all reasons to move away from Cvent:

    1. Value proposition – we get so much more for the same price.
    2. Self-service piece – Procurement can focus on more value-add activities, leaving the simpler meetings with the planners, while also still having oversight.
    3. Security – our Security team gains access to where our meetings are being held and who will be in attendance.
    4. Efficiency – when integrated with Concur, dates & locations are pulled into the booking window saving time for employees to register and book travel all at once.
    5. Reporting capabilities seem to be more robust than what I can get from Cvent today.
