Social Tables

Social Tables

Avantages :

The ease of use for people who aren't great with computers.

Inconvénients :

don't have anything to report about on this

SO HELPFUL AND EASY TO USE

Commentaires : My overall experience has been amazing. I know my team has used other programs in the past and this programs beats them completely.

Avantages :

I love the fact that you can make different floor plans for the same event and copy the past one so if you have to make small differences in them you can do so easily without losing one or the other.

Inconvénients :

I would say it glitches a decent amount when trying to move a lot of objects. It will go back to the original spot it was in.

Social Tables is Okay

Commentaires : My overall experience is using it to create floor plans for clients. The clients are usually pleased with the results, though I'd prefer that it was easier to use and more constant.

Avantages :

Social Tables is nice in their ability to provide floorplans, and to be relatively upfront about what their pricing is. Their rendering also does a decent job helping clients to visualize what these layouts will look like.

Inconvénients :

I wish that Social Tables would stop changing the URLs and versioning of their software. It makes finding a working integration a bit misleading and difficult.

By far the best event diagramming software I've used, but could use some improvements.

Commentaires : I know I seem a little negative but honestly I truly LOVE Social Tables and do not believe there is a better event diagramming software that I have used or demoed. If they could just fix some of these things, I really think they could make it so they are always top of the mark in every way also! I do recommend them for sure over the others I have tried.

Avantages :

Of the various evening diagramming programs I've used, Social Tables in the best by far. The software is easy to use and has lots of great features that the others just don't have. I love how simple it is to get things done, especially things that are very complicated and buggy in the other similar programs out there. I also love that you can give view/edit links to planners to collaborate or watch live updates on a phone call as well as the unlimited users that come with the annual subscription.

Inconvénients :

There are several big downsides that, if fixed, would make them the only option in event diagramming so I really wish they'd implement them. First, they need to make it so they can just upload the DWG or other CAD floorplans directly into the system because their way of tracing over the PDF extracted leaves a lot of room for errors in the measurements. Second, they need to make it so heights can be rendered properly (which would be fixed by the previous suggestion) because the 3D view is almost useless due to this in a lot of spaces. Third, their customer service and onboarding procedures have seriously suffered since Cvent acquired them. I miss not talking to support with a script or in another country, as well as the really personal onboarding I got when I was in my old building and implemented the software for the first time. Finally and FOREMOST is the lack of app or other mobile/tablet capability. The legacy version had a great app that allowed you to diagram on an iPad and otherwise while on the go, but since they upgraded the program a couple years ago that no longer works. This is horrid for those of us who had moved to being able to diagram on the fly with planners on a walkthrough and they seem to have no interest in implementing this despite me fussing over it consistently since then.

Perfect and customized cloud-based layout creation software for any busy event center or venue

Commentaires : Events is a stressful career path. There is always the next big event hanging over your head. Finding work/life balance when your venue is in constant use is relatively difficult... Social Tables helps us to take away some of that stress. It's a good tool for our staff, and a great way to show our clients our ideas for their unique event needs.

Avantages :

Social Tables helps us create to-scale diagrams using actual measurements of our furniture and event spaces... This is an invaluable tool for us - it has saved my organization so much time and effort by making sure our clients know exactly what to expect when they walk in day-of. Our clients will come to our event planning meetings with ideas that are creative, but aren't necessarily appropriate for our unique space. After our event-planning meetings, Social Tables allows us the chance to give our clients an exact representation of the capabilities of our space. This can help not only to show the client our knowledge of what will work best in the space, but also to discourage a stubborn client from insisting on a "bad idea." The client will walk into our space the day of their event knowing exactly what they will get. I work primarily with a student-based staff... Social Tables is a great opportunity to show my visual-learners what I have in mind when I say "aud style for 500" or "rounds for 400." They can match their physical set-up to the Social Tables diagram with no room for error. No more sloppy room diagrams drawn in pen with no attention to scale, space, or room flow. My staff knows exactly what to do. Safety is a priority at our venue, and most clients aren't aware of our fire code. Room capacity is easily demonstrated here, and we have a visual representation of our fire exits, elevators, and stairways. A perfect visual tool.

Inconvénients :

Social Tables is highly customized and might not be appropriate for people who have a hard time with technology. I personally think it's a very easy program to use, but some of my less-computer-savvy team members have a hard time understanding the intricacies of the software. As a venue whose costs of operating are going up and up, the yearly subscription fee is something that we might not be able to justify permanently... Until then, I'll be getting a lot of value out of this program.
