Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

+End-to-end event management from venue sourcing to post-event reporting
+Supplier Network with 300,000+ venues saves hours on sourcing
+Enterprise-grade registration handles the most complex pricing logic
+Strong attendee engagement tools — live polling, Q&A, networking
+Detailed ROI analytics connect event activity to revenue

Weaknesses

−No published pricing — costs start in the thousands per year
−Overkill for small businesses running fewer than 5 events per year
−Steep learning curve — takes weeks to fully configure
−No free tier or self-serve trial
−Best value at enterprise scale — small teams pay a lot relative to volume

AI Features

AI-powered attendee matchmaking and networking suggestions, automated session recommendations, smart survey analysis for post-event feedback, and predictive analytics for attendance and engagement forecasting.

STOA's Verdict

Cvent is the gold standard for large-scale event management, but built for enterprises running dozens of events per year. If you host 1-4 events annually with under 500 attendees, Eventbrite, Luma, or Splash give you 80% of the functionality at a fraction of the cost.
