Legacy isn't an age. It's a bill you keep paying.
Cvent grew by adding more: more products, more setup, more configuration, and more specialists. Over time, enterprise capability became enterprise complexity.
Your team pays for it as:
The Specialist Tax
You need a Cvent expert to run your own events.
The Setup Tax
Weeks to launch. Not because the event is complex. Because the platform is.
The Module Tax
Capability you didn't ask for. Add-ons you can't avoid.
The Contract Tax
Lock in early. Pay more later.
Cvent is still a strong choice for complex enterprise event programs. For many teams, though, that complexity becomes a price to pay.
