The support is excellent." — 4.0/5 > **Sandy** | *12 October 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once EvM was set up and customized to our facility these are the things I really appreciate: The extensive help information. The awesome technical support. The initial training. Once familiar with the system the ease of use is great. Importing semester class schedules has been very useful. We had to do some programming before importing but it works great. One thing that could be improved upon is if the system would not just create a new location if one is needed. It would be better if it gave an error and skipped that entry. It can cause problems. The automated billing is wonderful and the largest reason we chose this software. > > **Cons**: The time frames in the reporting set up. I need future time frames as well as past. I needed a timeline format for the events list, which you amazingly created. It just isn't quite what I needed. It almost checked the box but I don't believe it works right. The room name boxes don't line up with the time frame boxes. It really gets confusing. > > Event Manager allows us to import our semester class schedules and track all additional internal as well as external (rentals) events on campus. The automated billing is beneficial and makes my job easier. The automated reports are helpful and if the fixed time frames can be tweaked this option will be one of my favorites. ----- ### "Feedback from Wauwatosa School District" — 4.0/5 > **Christopher** | *21 July 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very easy to use and quick to schedule events/programs/activities, either individual ones or in a series. > > **Cons**: The calendar - the end time of each scheduled event should also be displayed, not just the start time. > > I think it's a great program that's very easy to use. Scheduling can be very complex and it's helpful to have a system that's easy to use to manage all that. ----- ### "Underutilized" — 4.0/5 > **Alice** | *25 July 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Event Management could be so very helpful to me to plan our events, however the university has so many restrictions as to how it is used. We have to contact the "area coordinator" for the space we wish to reserve to make sure it is available before entering into the Event Manager. The university does not use a "live" version because we are so space restricted and priority is given to different departments to over ride others > > **Cons**: unfortunately how the university restricts it's use does not bode well with this program. Basically, if we used it the way it was meant to be used we would love it. > > We don't use it properly because of university road blocks ----- ### "Schooldude Review" — 5.0/5 > **Katrina** | *21 January 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Actually, the customer service\! If I have a problem someone is always available to help\! > > **Cons**: Classes offered -- I would like to learn more about running reports, financials, etc. > > I am happy with the program and the customer service. ----- ### "Event Manager" — 4.0/5 > **John** | *18 October 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We were able to get rid of 3 different management programs we were using > > **Cons**: We don't like how the reports are done. Way too much information for us.It has been good ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/187199/event-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/187199/event-manager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
