Accelevents

Super affordable and effective for silent auctions.

Pluspunten:

The price is right! Easy to include images, easy to process payments, easy to edit and update. Overall user-friendly.

Minpunten:

Their sales/customer reps are obnoxious! Originally, they offered me a coupon to join and then wouldn't let me use it. Now I keep getting emails from them even though I've unsubscribed.

Accelevents Saved our Auction!

Opmerkingen: Accelevents really did save our spring auction. When COVID hit and we had to cancel our live event, we knew our fundraising efforts were going to take a big hit. Then we found Accelevents and the staff helped us get our event online quickly and easily. Our virtual auction was a big success! Now we are using Accelevents again for our holiday auction. We are very happy with the platform and the fantastic customer support!

Pluspunten:

Very easy to use, fast and easy to learn, wonderful customer service, very knowledgeable staff that answered all my questions quickly, and a great price.

Minpunten:

Would love a bit more customization options for how the website looks and feels. It would be nice to be able to add a short paragraph of verbiage at the top of the auction and fund a need pages. In addition, we would like to be able to reorder the "tabs" so the About tab was first, then the bid on auction items tab, and then the fund a need tab. In other words, we wanted to be able to say a little bit about our organization on the first page that people see rather than having the auction items be the first thing they see.

Overwogen alternatieven: Greater Giving en OneCause

Redenen om over te stappen op Accelevents: Accelevents was a more cost-effective choice for our small non-profit and had all the functionality that we needed for our virtual event.

Accelevents has what I need for a complete virtual event

Opmerkingen: Very positive. Support is really great and puts other virtual event platforms that I've worked with to shame.

Pluspunten:

It has the right features. I don't want to pay for a bunch of features that I won't use.

Minpunten:

There's not really anything that I dislike.

Adequate Event Platform for 1 Off Events

Pluspunten:

Ease of platform use. Live chat and support.

Minpunten:

Analytics - They are completely limited and no easy to get the actual information that has value. Integrations - There no integrations to Salesforce and Hubspot are minimal with the necessary tracking requirements not possible to pass through. Registration Source Tracking - There is none if you have host your event on your own landing page. You cannot track where a registration comes from i.e. social media, direct, etc. Does not support events streamed in multiple time zones in any efficient and organized way

Great Interactive online event platform

Opmerkingen: Overall we had a great event and got a lot of positive feedback from the participants.

Pluspunten:

1. The customer service was great: any time we had a question, a problem, or a bug, we got a quick response from the team and an immediate solution. Guys, you rock! Thanks a lot. 2. The pricing is pretty well calculated - the per participant per day payment makes it much easier for us to calculate our cost per participant and makes smaller online events possible and affordable.

Minpunten:

1. The constant updates that are happening in the backstage - some features were coming and going and after some updates the platform was not functioning well. Which was frustrating, but the supportive team was always there to help out. 2. The platform does not have a mobile or PC app.
