Glue Up

Simply idiot proof and ready to deploy without too much hassle

Commentaires : We are very pleased with simplicity of it. We rarely spend time training as most users simply "get it". Its simple and fast out-of-the-box solution . We now have 4 accounts running this software

Avantages :

I can create an event in 10 minutes , have the webpage out and create collateral. I can update anything all the way to the delegate app onsite in a few simple steps. We moved a few hundred members into the cloud which was relatively simple, and memebrs love the ease with the member app and the profile. Payment option are localized based on country I can assign navigation languages etc. I can assign a client to administer a section of the membership or a specific event.

Inconvénients :

Multi currency management is not very friendly. During setup. I cannot correct some historical items Some limitations with regards to registration setup for multiple events segments such as dinners post tours that needs to be overcome

User friendly platform

Commentaires : I'm absolutely amazed by all the features it offers!

Avantages :

The program is incredibly easy to use. I grasped it quickly without the need for extensive training sessions. It provides numerous features and options that can be tailored to suit the needs of any organization.

Inconvénients :

Even though it provides templates for transferring members, this activity is always time-consuming.

Beware!

Commentaires : After we had terminated our contract with Glue Up, [sensitive content hidden] proceeded to use it to to send out a defamatory and fallacious email to our homeowners association membership.

Avantages :

[sensitive content hidden] abused Glue Up to malign our homeowners association board.

One of the best CRM solutions available for a Not-for-profit company.

Commentaires : It has been great so far, the customer support is knowledge and promptly replies. This has been my personal experience during our offline events.

Avantages :

Best overall package for non-profit organisation i.e CRM, Event Management, Invoicing, etc.

Inconvénients :

Occasional slowdown while searching contacts.

Glue Up for a non profit membership organisation

Commentaires : [sensitive content hidden] is our main contact for Glue Up - he has been so supportive and patient during our onboarding and management of the new system. As we get used to using Glue Up, [sensitive content hidden] always offers support and information on new developments and options for us.

Avantages :

Glue Up has moved us from many different systems to one CRM which allows us to manage our contacts, members, financials and events in a more professional and structured way.

Inconvénients :

The community pages would work so well if the members sign up to use Glue Up - I still need to see how best to entice members to sign up and manage their own membership pages and contacts to allow for networking and information sharing.

Review of Glue Up for one of our membership association clients

Avantages :

The community feature has transformed how members interact and share knowledge with one another and has added huge value to the membership. The renewal system and reoccurring payments have increased our membership retention levels as it allow members to manage the renewal process with ease. The finance function is great. The campaign function is excellent. On going support from Glue Up is great - we love the access to training sessions and the contact us are for queries. Our Customer Success Manager is very responsive which has been extremely helpful. Overall, we are very happy with the product for an affordable off the shelf membership management system.

Inconvénients :

The initial set up process was not seamless as members had to activate their Glue Up account in order to access the system. This generated a lot of queries which went on for a substantial length of time. Our client's needs were not understood entirely at the initial set up stage.

Great for Chambers and Business Councils

Commentaires : So far it has been great when it comes to information management, event management and membership management. When it comes to the campaigns, we have experienced issues with the lag, but otherwise, it has been a major positive change for our Chamber.

Avantages :

The integration of Membership and ease of managing RSVPs for events (including the creation of badges) has saved us a lot of time.

Inconvénients :

the number of times we have gotten "Error 404" and how often the page freezes.

Glue Up Review

Commentaires : Robust Features, Customization and Flexibility, User-Friendly Interface
My overall experience with Glue Up has been positive.

Avantages :

Event Management ,Membership Management, CRM Functionality, Integration Capabilities, User-Friendly Interface, Support and Training

Inconvénients :

Customization Limitations, Support and Documentation

A one-stop shop for customer relations management!

Avantages :

It streamlines event management through creative event pages, and efficient attendee check-in. The customizable database consolidates a CRM platform with an email marketing platform further enhancing convenience for organizers and participants alike.

Inconvénients :

Beside Glueup’s regular down times at certain hours, its mailers also lack the customization other platforms provide. Its events page also has downsides with its limited features, especially for larger-scale events. There are also several glitches with membership renewal especially if there are open invoices. We’ve encountered invoices that were open for 2023 and saw that it was changed to 2024.

GlueUp, my most reliable buddy

Commentaires : Good with moments of excellent. Thank you team!

Avantages :

It is simple to use and the help available is both comprehensive and very easy to access making it even more useful.

Inconvénients :

Off the shelf it is missing a few fields we would find really helpful. It is not exactly covering what we are using it for which limits how effective it can be for us.

An Amazing Platform

Avantages :

GlueUp has been by far the BEST event and attendee management platform that I have ever come across. No other platform comes close to how visually appealing GlueUp's event pages are or have the functionality and attendee check-in system as GlueUp. I honestly have very few things I can nitpick about GlueUp.

Inconvénients :

The only thing that I wish GlueUp implemented was a more simple way to cash in our event sales. It would be nice if we were able to manually do it through the platform instead of having to communicate with an individual over email to receive our event proceeds. Also, another challenge has been having to set up a business bank account in China in order to receive the funds. It would be nice if we can link personal bank accounts or receive the funds in a different way such as Alipay or WeChat.

Glue Up - An excellent tool for Association Management.

Commentaires : We previously got a company to build a customise Mobile App for our member and events management, but it was full of bugs, which made many members frustrated and upset. Ever since we switched to Glue Up, our members have enjoyed the new system, with almost no complains about it. Engagement with our members have also increased with the use of the Glue Up system. Glue Up has many of the features (and more) which we had to customised for our previous mobile app, thus using it was breeze.

Avantages :

Glue Up has been an integral part of our association's member management and function. We love that it combines Member Management, Events Management, and Electronic Marketing, on a single platform. We also love how Glue Up is constantly seeking to improve/upgrade itself and products, whether it is user experience, new functions, or feedback on backend CRM. There's always trainings available on the new rolled-out functions, and their team is always available when you need them.

Inconvénients :

All has been good so far, and they are always open to hearing our feedback to improve.

Glue Up personal experience review

Avantages :

Great intuitive user interface, have a wide range of features and with comprehensive analytics. Which is a beneficial for our organization.

Inconvénients :

It only have limited customization options and lack of integration with third-party applications.

It is useful software for IBAI members.

Commentaires : useful software for all the membership operation communication.

Avantages :

Membership renewal through this portal is very easy for All our members. The support from CRM team and sales team ( [SENSITIVE CONTENT]) is very helpful for all our IBAI members. Now Sending Community campaign and Online Event is very easy through this platform. This software also useful for maintain our Membership data base. generating Invoice and payment receipt is simple through this platform.I would say it is useful for all the membership operation communication.

Inconvénients :

Membership certificate is not generated through this software.

Excellent All-in-One Platform to manage Events, Memberships, CRM, Email Marketing and Finance

Avantages :

As an active Chamber of Commerce, we were looking for something that would enable us (and improve) to manage our events, members, email campaigns, CRM, collect payments and be user-friendly at the same time. We wanted to replace several out-dated technologies and instead use one software for our internal operations. It also happened that at the same time we were looking for a new website solution and EventBank was in the process of launching a new solution for Chambers of Commerce. This resulted in a new (mobile compatible) website that was delivered within 4 days against a competitive price and at the same time easy to use and manage. The support we received all our three chapters across China was very well starting with personal kick-off calls, following online webinars and a good FAQ section. Once you have a look at the platform everything becomes easy. Best part for me as Deputy General Manager is easy set-up of roles & permissions to manage and restrict access to certain pages for temporary staff and some of our interns. Also, our members can now update their information and manage their own profiles. Creating Events has never been easier with Members now being able to sign up online and pay for the event using their preferred method. Personally, I am also a fan of the EventBank Manager mobile app. Easy to monitor sign ups for events, membership renewals, email campaigns and check in attendees on spot.

Inconvénients :

EventBank's all-in-one platform has few shortcomings that I can think about and it has meet our expectations. We are looking forward to the new products features that are being released in the (near) future.

Glueup definitely made CRM and event management easier

Commentaires : Glueup definitely made CRM and event management easier for us and it is nice to have everything consolidated in one system. Having it online grants us access to the system everywhere, especially during this time of uncertainty and WFHs.

Avantages :

Event page has many templates to use, each with a different focus, so we can set up a new event page within 15 minutes. New payment menthod, Adapay, also allows us to check online payments instantly and making refunds is much more convenient comparing to it was in the past. The new feature "waiting list" is also great as it can clearly differentiate itself from the approval list.

Inconvénients :

While having many pre-sets templates made everything faster and easier, the backend set ups could provide more flexibility (small things like, we can only set up the event date and time, but we can't change the title of that section, which is always "SAVE THE DATE"). It would be nice to make many small feature editable, both for events page and email campaign designs. While having Adapay is a huge improvement, making partial refunds can cause issues. For example, two tickets were paid by one payment, then only one ticket was refunded, but the "total revenue" in event dashboard still shows two tickets.

Easy Chamber of Commerce management

Avantages :

I like different features: 1. Members & Membership Management (renewal process is easy and time saving) 2. Events managment: easy, simple, intuitive, time saving, customizable. 3. Finance: autogenerate invoices and can be integrate with Quickbooks 4. Database and email campaign - easy to manage and time saving

Inconvénients :

I like most features and generally is very user-friendly. The APP is good to have but seems slower than accessing from the desktop. Overall there is nothing I really don't like or that is creating me a problem in managing the Chamber.

RSVP management easily with Glue Up

Avantages :

Professionalizing our databases and event operations, such as invites, response monitoring, finances, and more, was made possible with GlueUp. GlueUp's subscription procedure is simplified and the most effective system with few costs. Members' info is well protected.

Inconvénients :

Sadly, owing to our country's legal constraints, we could not access certain of the functionalities, notably the billing option. Although it is nearly difficult to discover software that will fulfill all of an organization's needs, there are several options available.

Best event management software

Avantages :

The event management and registration functions are my favorite parts of Glueup system. It's super easy to access, and beginner-friendly to work around. The payment option includes both China-preferred Ada pay and credit card options, which makes it easy for our users with different needs. Glueup also provides great client services. Their client managers are reliable, professional and responsive, and have been my irreplaceable partners in all events.

Inconvénients :

To due unexpected server challenges, Glueup system might be slow from time to time.

Wonderfull Experience

Commentaires : Using GlueUp has been a magnificent experience, because it allows me to offer service and value oriented towards the satisfaction of our clients.

Avantages :

Using GlueUp has been a magnificent experience, because it allows me to offer service and value oriented towards the satisfaction of our clients.

Inconvénients :

Nothing in general, at this moment all is fine

Simple and user friendly CRM System

Commentaires : I appreciate the customer support [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], who always in timely manner response on any given time of the day and week. He always follow up and is extremely helpful. Wish [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was the one, who had been the first project manager, so it wasnt so delayed. But [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is super competent and understand his customers.

Avantages :

The software is very user friendly and not complicated and perfect for event and membership management.

Inconvénients :

Some features and the structure not so flexible. Still feel room for improvement to enhance the features. And many extra features is a different pricing contract.

Putting the service in 'Platform as a Service'

Commentaires : I've been working on implementing EventBank as the primary platform to organize, manage, and execute group exercise events for FitFam Shanghai - we're a very active and consistent fitness community and volunteer organization based in shanghai that organizes and runs completely free outdoor and some indoor workouts. The volume of workout 'events' that we do per week has increased drastically, and with EventBank we've been able to go from a rag-tag group of volunteers to a much more organized and efficient planning group. As a grassroots movement, this kind of tool is amazing and essential for us to be able to keep doing what we love, but do it better and better. The platform not only allows us to organize teams, plan events, and disseminate information to our community in a much more efficient and organized fashion - it's allowing us to finally put together data on how large our community actually is, who our core participants are, and their motivations for coming out to exercise with us. Our organization really emphasizes the idea and practice of community, including when deciding which partners and sponsors we choose to work with. EventBank is an excellent partner for us in that regard because of the support and technical teams behind it. We feel very strongly that we aren't simply using their platform, but that we're working with a team that is both part of and supporting our community. While the platform hasn't been without some minor bugs/issues, the responsiveness of the support and technical teams to every issue is amazing, and the speed with I'm seeing issues be responded to and resolved is superb.

Avantages :

It's functions are very apt to fulfill many needs of our organization, and the team responsiveness is great.

Inconvénients :

There are minor issues with some of the registration functions.

Best tool for event management

Avantages :

Very ease to use for all the components in event management.

Inconvénients :

Few more features could be added in the future.

Very effective platform, with more to come

Commentaires : EventBank has some excellent features that make the chamber's work much easier. Their background is with events, and their platform provides a lot of features to help make the set-up, promotion and registration easier for us and the participants. For me, the e-newsletter system stands out - it used to take us weeks to put together a new email newsletter, but now we can do it in an afternoon. It also helps us collect a lot of data about the effectiveness of campaigns. Database management has been the biggest struggle, but their customer service is very responsive and, despite some hiccups, it is now handling new memberships and renewals well. They are continuing to provide new features, and are very responsive to suggestions on how to improve their service, especially in extracting useful information from the database.

Avantages :

The look and feel, and the potential to manipulate the data.

Inconvénients :

It has been a struggle to iron out the complications in the CRM, but it gets better all the time.

All in One Event management system for our community

Avantages :

We use the platform for 35+ events a week across 2 cities and at present we manage over 4000+ members. In the last year we created over 1000+ workouts/ meetings/ social gatherings for FitFam, we would not be able to manage our community effectively without this platform. We are able to easily set up events for our community to access and register for, regardless of indoor or outdoor sessions and numbers allowed. Easy administration for efficient review, publishing, check in process. EventBank works seamlessly along side our other information platforms, giving us more visibility.

Inconvénients :

We created a 'how - to - use' PDF for our community to easily use the platform as we had users downloading the managers app instead of the users app.
