Converia Reviews

“We've loved working with Converia for so many years

Pros

The system takes care of everything when it comes to ticketing and financial processing, so I don't have to juggle multiple tools to manage these tasks.

Cons

The setup and configuration process can be a bit detailed, and if I am not careful, I can easily miss certain steps.

“A complete tool for modern event planning

Pros

It's a really thorough tool that can cover almost all aspects of event planning and execution, which makes organizing an event much simpler and more streamlined.

Cons

While the tool's versatility is a huge plus, it can also be a bit overwhelming at times. With so many options, the backend can feel a little confusing and isn't always the simplest. Also, I feel there's no built-in app, which could be a downside.

“Perfect system for organizing scientific conferences

Pros

I love how it covers all the bases, everything from submitting contributions to the two-stage review process, planning sessions, managing the app and handling participation fees.

Cons

When creating a session in the conference calendar, sometimes I have to drag the stack of presentations a long way before letting go, which can lead to errors. The final evaluation page for contributions isn't the most user-friendly either because lots of scrolling is required. Also the calendar view in the app isn't great and the list view gets confusing when there are multiple parallel sessions.

“complete tool, well-thought-out, highly recommend

Pros

Converia really stands out because it offers so many options for setting up multilingual events, organizing ticket categories (including side events and workshops), collecting user data, managing sales phases and dealing with cancellations, including any applicable fees. Plus, it even handles our monthly interim billing.

Cons

Getting started with the backend can be a bit overwhelming at first. Voucher management, for example, has so many options, but they're spread out across different areas, which makes it tough to navigate without a manual. Also in the German version I'd prefer a less formal tone like using "du" instead of "Sie" would feel more natural in many places, though you can adjust this for emails and other communications.

“Converia makes every event effortless

Pros

For a company like ours, which doesn't specialize in events but organizes them only once or twice a year, Converia has been a game changer. It gives us everything we need like an event website, financial management, booking, ticketing, and more, all coordinated in one place. It's been a great experience.

Cons

As a graphic designer, I'd love to see more design flexibility on the website to make it look even more attractive. But for someone who isn't a design expert, it's super simple to use and more than enough for most needs.

“A must-have for the perfect event organization

Pros

The way the backend and front end work together is so helpful. The system increases efficiency by combining so many different areas of event management, everything from reviewing submitted papers and organizing conference sessions to managing participant bookings, ticketing, and even reporting.

Cons

I think some parts of the event configuration in the backend could definitely benefit from clearer explanations, as it's not always simple. The CMS can also be a bit cumbersome in certain areas.

“All-in-one software for easy event management

Pros

Converia is a flexible and reliable system for managing conferences and events. For our event planning, I appreciated how the software offered a comprehensive range of functions, from registration and ticketing to participant management and payment processing. The support team was also incredibly professional and available throughout. I'd definitely recommend it as a customizable and adaptable solution for scientific events.

Cons

From what I can tell, I haven't seen any major disadvantages of Converia compared to other providers.

“It is a reliable software for conference planning

Pros

It's a solid, efficient software that provides all the essential tools needed for a scientific conference. It's simple without being overly complicated, and the value for money is great. Plus, the Converia team was always alert to our respond to our queries.

Cons

The email functions could use some improvement, I believe there's room for better customization and flexibility.

“A software that ticks all the boxes!

Pros

The ease of use, the creative freedom it offers, and the fantastic support from Converia make it hard to beat. I like it very much!

Cons

When there are cancellations, I think it would be great if the system automatically refunded the amount to the payer, minus the cancellation fee, to save time and reduce manual effort.

“top performance in action!

Pros

Setting up and configuring the system was so fast and simple for us. The features, like the check-in tool (especially with the scanner), are incredibly useful and the support is top-notch.

Cons

We didn't encounter any disadvantages in our project, all the functions worked as expected.

“Great tool for Research conference

Pros

It's really easy to use, with powerful features that make our whole process comfortable and efficient.

Cons

It met all of our requirements perfectly. There's really nothing to fault.

“Highly satisfied with this tool

Pros

The software is super user-friendly, allowing me to get work done quickly without any hassle.

Cons

I can't think of any issues off the top of my head. I haven't come across anything negative so far.
