"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."
Sir Richard BransonMost popular feedback for Sched
My first experience with Sched was as a speaker on a conference event being organized by our foreign collaborators. As my first foreign speaking engagement, I was naturally extremely nervous, but Sched made collaborating with the organizers so easy and that I felt very much at ease and ended up delivering an exceptional session. After that experience, I recommended trying Sched for our own subsequent conference events.

Sched reviews
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!

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.

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.

Zesty.io reviews
can easily update my website without having to involve our web developer. Our old feedback loop from engineering to marketing now seems antiquated.
- Ryan Z. Founder and President
Zesty is very straight foward and easy to learn.
- Courtney S. Online Merchandiser
Zesty is an excellent alternative to other CMS platforms we've had significant experience implementing on both the low-end side, such as Wordpress and Hubspot, and the higher-end side, like Sitecore and AEM. We've implemented Zesty solutions for a good number of clients ranging from startup to enterprise. Some of the things we like best about Zesty are their top-tier support, easy-to-use interfaces for both business and technical users, and their ability to keep the platform as modern as possible with very little legacy baggage.

Pros & cons
Sched
| Pros |
|---|
| 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 |
| My district uses Sched to schedule our entire district professional training |
| This is fabulous I love that it emails me my schedule and I can access it all day as I attend trainings |
| I also love the ability to email attendees from the platform and how they also get a daily reminder |
| It is also wonderful how we can personalize the system with our own branding and images |
| This was a perfect option for our needs this year, and now that we know more about how it can be used, it will be used more often for our future conference needs." |
| Cons |
|---|
| We have received many complaints within 24 hours of launching the service |
| The lack of Spanish interface, because we are in Peru |
| It is difficult to find your meeting sometimes |
| There are so many meetings scheduled |
| Small landing/home page with limited customization." |
Zesty.io
| Pros |
|---|
| Highly recommend if you are looking for industrial-strength CMS with almost infinite flexibility for developers |
| If you want a cheap template-y solution, this is not what you want |
| The partnership team is fantastic, and the software keeps their promises |
| But Zesty was committed to delivering what was promised, we overcame the challenges together, and developed a strong relationship in the process |
| Our team enjoyed using the platform |
| And when I've had to interact with the people behind the product, they've been timely, helpful, and extremely pleasant to work with." |
| Cons |
|---|
| Some of the engineers steps are not intuitive (how the pages/datasets, etc work) |
| There is no way to edit within an IDE of choice |
| Some of the Media organization is a little quirky |
| That is really the only negative |
| Function for managing redirects was limited |
| This made site re-builds more time-consuming |
| I worry that when there is a major overhaul of the software, I'll not be able to get a contractor onboard to support me quickly |
| Thankfully, few overhauls have taken place so far." |
