Sched Recensioner

Sched is my best friend!

Kommentarer: Communication is the main problem that Sched solves. It's an at-a-glance snapshot of an entire evening that easily drills down into specifics. It invites interaction, so that's another communication problem solved/helped. I couldn't be more thrilled to have Sched working on my event's behalf. Thank you!

Fördelar:

What DON'T I love about this software? I love that it does whatever I want--I love that it's accessible and can be organized in so many different views, I love that it's embeddable on other sites, that the links to individual events are shareable, that it's COLOR CODED. I guess if I had to boil it down, I love that Sched creates a central place where my entire event can be housed, with all its moving pieces and participants, and that it's equally friendly to internal and external audiences.

Nackdelar:

I might be missing this, but it might be fun to be able to upload artwork for individual sessions. I've also had people ask for a maps function, so it might be cool to be able to see all my venues on a map or diagram, with addresses attached. I'm sure I haven't even begun to understand all that Sched is capable of. I just love that it works for me every year and that my users are getting more acquainted with it, so. . . thanks for staying consistent and continuously improving our experience!

RayPec use of SCHED

Kommentarer: We used this tool for a one day event but this was so much easier to use than trying to use a spreadsheet.

Fördelar:

Overall, it was easy to use. Attendees had a mixed experience as some were able to navigate easily and others had difficulty. I liked the ability to quickly search for a session or speaker to make edits

Nackdelar:

The feedback option. Needed to be a little more adaptable so additional information could be collected. Also the report for feedback didn't cluster by speaker.

Horrible Customer Service

Kommentarer: It wasn't too difficult to get everything set up, but we needed a human to help us select the right package to purchase. It was way too difficult reaching someone and we were actually told that no one could assist us for at least another week because that department was going to a conference.

Fördelar:

We liked that if needed, you could print out the schedule.

Nackdelar:

There is no customer support. The only way to reach someone for assistance is to find a spot on THEIR calendar for them to call you.

Gotta Be Sched!

Kommentarer: Very good! Once I got the hang of it, I could move quickly around the program.

Fördelar:

Easy to understand and use Colorful layout makes mental mapping easy Space between items makes it easy to read

Nackdelar:

The phrase "Back to Schedule" is too small and looks insignificant.

Great app,

Kommentarer: Had a Fantastic experience, its simplicity made it easy for me. I ll recommend it.

Fördelar:

I love its simplicity and its easy to use

Nackdelar:

I don’t have anything I love least about it

Recommend

Fördelar:

Easy to use. Very good interface. Easy to make my inscriptions

Nackdelar:

None problem. At all Easy to use. Very good interface. Easy to make my inscriptions

Uncg alumni review

Kommentarer: My overall experience with the schedule was good

Fördelar:

Ease of use is what I liked the most about the schedule

Nackdelar:

Having to keep hitting the back button is what I liked the least about the schedule

Excellent package and service

Kommentarer: We used to publish our own website with conference info; it had the basic info, but it was hard to keep the pieces consistent. Now we link to the Sched site from our event page and attendees find everything there. Speakers can post their pix and handouts and complete/update their profiles and send e-mail blasts to all who signed up for their workshop. We got good reporting and from it (and Google Analytics) see a high engagement rate (not just page views; over half set up accounts and created a personal schedule). This is all from their lowest service level/tier; higher levels integrate more with registration/payment etc., but we already have an online store and used it for front-end registration.

Fördelar:

One-stop shop for event management: attendees, speakers/handouts, exhibitors, rooms, messaging, feedback, social sharing.... Mobile-friendly site and app for participants to create/manage their schedules, submit feedback, share content, etc.. Smart import/export/update Responsive personal tech support Good pricing plans especially for nonprofits

Nackdelar:

We ran into a couple of small limitations (e.g. can't embed image in e-mail blast), but we found workarounds and Sched team is using our feedback to improve their platform.

Go to Conference Scheduling App

Fördelar:

Sched works seamlessly on computers and as a smartphone app. As a conference attendee, I loved how events were coded into different categories, with different colors representing those categories. I also liked how you could create your daily schedule ahead of the conference, and receive email alerts about the events you were scheduled to go to. Sched also allows you to schedule multiple things at the same time, which is key at a busy conference where you have many events and sessions you would like to attend. This capability allows you to see the possible events you've already narrowed your choice down to, but does not restrict you to one.

Nackdelar:

I did not like how in order to select events to add to your calendar, you had to scroll through every session/event on every day. The app was not dynamic enough to restrict your options to only one category of events. Similarly, when the conference day was over, you could not easily go back and look at all of the sessions that occurred the day before. To do that, you had to go use the web version.

Love this Event Scheduling software

Kommentarer: The folks are great! So responsive when I need help, and have a great sense of humor. They keep things fun :D

Fördelar:

I really like the ease of use, both for the admins when putting the schedule together, and the speakers and attendees in figuring out what's going on and where to go. The feature that sold it to us is that presenters can upload their presentations directly to their presentation description, so it's so easy for them to have everything they need at their fingertips.

Nackdelar:

I can't think of anything, honestly. It's a really great product.

n/a

Fördelar:

Simple and clear schedule display, relatively easy navigation.

Nackdelar:

I want to be able to filter the attendee list to determine who hasn't logged in or completed a schedule, and then send a specific message just to that group. I also want to be able to better control an Eventbrite integration so that only certain ticket types are imported.

Smooth & Simple for the Win

Fördelar:

I have used many similar products in the past and have never found one so easy to learn and simple to implement. Updates were made real time with seamless integration to my website. The ability to build the schedule and Presenter bios in Sched and embed them on my web page saved hours of tedious web development time. I nearly cried when I learned I could embed different pieces on separate pages of my website. What a gift! To say I am delighted with my experience is an understatement. Thank you for making the event management experience such a breeze!

Nackdelar:

I do not have any cons. I was pleased with my experience and with the customer service I received.

Great Tool for Planners

Kommentarer: I work with quite a few non-profits and Sched provides a quick and easy platform for hosting an online agenda that does not break the bank. Its extremely easy to use and the customer service department is ready and willing to quickly assist it if needed.

Fördelar:

It's really easy to use and fits within my clients budget. Sched provides a quick platform for posting an online agenda that allows for survey feedback, sponsor exposure, and speaker highlights.

Nackdelar:

I really don't have any complaints about the software.

Used Sched to Organize our Annual Conference

Kommentarer: We needed to organize a virtual conference for advocates around BC on fairly short order. We found that Sched did all hat we wanted from a tool and was way cheaper than other options.

Fördelar:

The set up and format of the agenda is great! I like having colors for different streams - it makes the agenda easy to use. Speakers and participants generally found it easy to use.

Nackdelar:

We are interested in looking at how to do follow up evaluations. We would like to be able to modify the basic sched questions to suit our needs. In webinars we were able to give participants a link for feedback. Will look into google options.

We love Sched

Fördelar:

This is the first year we used Sched for our district wide technology conference we have every year. We are so thankful we did. We have more data, are able to share session resources, are able to get session feedback, and have a great community of teachers through this software. We will be back for more, Sched!

Nackdelar:

One thing I would love to see is a few different levels of permissions within the software. We would like our speakers/presenters at our conference to be able to see their session attendees and have more information about them, even if a user has set themselves up as private.

Great way to manage your schedule for conferences

Kommentarer: Overall this app was so easy to use and allowed me to get the most out of the conference and all the activities being offered over the four days I was there.
We are now highly considering using this App for our adult programs during the summer. I think using this App will allow our participants to have access to information about all the great lectures and events we offer during their time at our camp.

Fördelar:

I recently attended a work conference in Boulder Colorado and they used the Sched app for managing the conference schedule. Sched is really user-friendly. I loved being able to check the app to see what my next session was and find the location of my workshop. The review feature allows you to review a session once it is over. This is great as it helps get really in the moment feedback. There are so many great features on this App for example having a directory of all the attendee helps you to find people that you meet or remember names of contact you made. Once of the best features is the information is live and can be changed if a correction needs to be made. There was a venue changes for the first evening event of the conference and the organizers were quickly able to make that change a few hours before the event.

Nackdelar:

I wish you could include a map of the venue on the App. It does give you the location, however, their is no map to reference within the App. Luckily our venue was small and being able to move from one workshop to another was not a problem.

Best Event Delivery App

Kommentarer: Fantastic!

Fördelar:

I've been a Sched user for nearly 10 years. It's easy to use for managers and attendees, is clean, and integrates well with either online or in person events.

Nackdelar:

Occasional glitches with things like syncing non-ticketing items in Eventbrite so those who didn't buy a ticket got access, but customer service is helpful.

Simple, effective, responsive and intuitive

Kommentarer: Managing our many annual events is much easier and more available across digital and print platforms using sched.

Fördelar:

Easy to organize and update. Simple for many of the contributing staff to use and access. Clean UI. Straightforward and easy to update with changes. Very responsive help.

Nackdelar:

No ability for direct p2p interaction. Harder to print attendee lists in a well-formatted way.

Have used for years

Kommentarer: Great customer support!

Fördelar:

After years of looking for a schedule software, we keep coming back to Sched. Great support and easy to use.

Nackdelar:

There is some inflexibility in the look and we put it on our website but very little downside.

Used at a Conference and LOVED!

Kommentarer: Loved using it. I will try and find a way to use it more in work settings.

Fördelar:

Love the easiness of selecting which sessions I wanted to attend. It then stored it and made it super easy for me to know exactly where to go.

Nackdelar:

I had trouble uploading an image. I tried several times and it would not let me. Other than that I really enjoyed using it.

ThTe best

Kommentarer: A very good software indeed and their help desk is efficient and useful

Fördelar:

Sched is a fantastic tools that we used for organising our conference. Our attendees also enjoyed it and used it thoroughly with ease

Nackdelar:

Some improvements could be made in sessions and speakers management, as some conferences required some customisation on this aspect that has not been implemented yet

This is our 5th year using Sched and it's so easy to use and their customer service is outstanding!

Fördelar:

Customer Service - quick responses and always willing to assist. User-friendly admin side and lots of options. Looks great! They are constantly improving and adding new features every year.

Nackdelar:

We use it for our educational technology conference to let attendees easily plan which sessions they want to attend. For our purposes, we have no "cons."

Review from an attendee of a conference that used Sched

Kommentarer: Quickly scroll through personalized events and sessions or swith to the overall schedule of the event in case you need to.

Fördelar:

Super! When you've made your pick which sessions you want to attend just select them using Sched and your personalized schedule is available, without having to go through the whole schedule of the entire event.

Nackdelar:

As an attendee I did not encouter any cons ...

The Best, Brightest, and Easy to Use Scheduler

Kommentarer: I have used Sched for several years with multiple organizations. I have referred the product to other groups who have gone on to use the product with their conferences.

Fördelar:

Very easy to use, upload capabilities via spreadsheet

Nackdelar:

Can get overwhelming when there are a lot of options/sessions on the schedule

Sched is absolutely the best scheduling service out there.

Fördelar:

It looks good. It can be embedded to your website. It's an app. It's a dedicated service. You can add your speakers, sponsors, sessions... etc. It's very versatile and functional. P.S. Sched was a sponsor of ours so I'm not sure about the value for money. I'd imagine though that this kind of service is definitely worth it.

Nackdelar:

Manipulating the embedded parts isn't the easiest but it still trumps all other services. Uploading photos & logos can be a bit laborious but it's better than having a non-uniform appearance.
