I just started using Zoho so I’m still new to the platform\! So far I’ve had a good experience ----- ### "Great if you have ZOHO One" — 4.0/5 > **Aaron** | *01 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like: Zoho Backstage makes it easy to plan and manage events with a clean interface and logical workflows that keep everything organized. The support resources and help content are useful when getting set up, and the platform continues to improve with regular updates. The built-in reporting and attendee data views make it straightforward to see who registered, who attended, and how each session performed. > > **Cons**: What I don’t like: Some customization options, especially around event site design and certain advanced configurations, can feel limited or require extra time to figure out. Integrations and higher-tier features may also require moving up to more expensive plans, which is not ideal for smaller events or budgets. > > Overall experience: Overall, Zoho Backstage provides a solid, all-in-one environment for running events, from registration to reporting. It balances usability with powerful capabilities, especially if you are already using other Zoho apps. Even with a few limitations around customization and pricing tiers, it is a reliable choice for managing both virtual and in-person events. ----- ### "Honest Short Test Drive" — 2.0/5 > **Josh** | *18 September 2025* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer support. There was a lot to this product. They are willing and capable of explaining it in its many depths if you have the time to put into it or the team. > > **Cons**: There was so much to navigate and understand to make it usable for the small business. We wanted a product that was up and running quickly with minimal effort > > It was not simple enough to use. It probably works great if you have a team to dedicate to it. You need to put time into it. ----- ### "An Intuitive Easy-to-Use portal for managing Conferences, even for small groups" — 4.0/5 > **Jaideep** | *06 October 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho Backstage was extremely easy to set up and use. The user interface felt intuitive, and the platform offers a wide range of features. I found the website design tool straightforward and user-friendly, with plenty of customization options available. The white-labeled mobile app also provided a smooth and enjoyable experience for attendees. Setting up rooms was simple, and managing ticket statuses was efficient. Creating and updating the agenda was hassle-free, allowing for quick changes without needing technical assistance. Customer support was responsive and easy to reach. While we opted for the offline payment method, the online payment integrations appeared very promising. > > **Cons**: There was no option for attendees to upgrade their rooms and pay the difference, which led to room cancellations and the need for re-registrations. The user interface for the Profile menu was inconsistent between the Android and iOS apps. On the mobile app, attendee profiles appeared in a very small font, causing most people to overlook the social media links on the page. Additionally, only one custom form was available, even though multiple forms would have been helpful since we needed to collect information from participants at different stages before the event. Lastly, having a hands-on training session five days before the event would have enabled us to make better use of the product during the event itself. > > Overall experience with Zoho Backstage is very positive. The team was very responsive, the the application was very easy to setup and use. For our small group event, this removed the stress of information dissemination from the organizing committee to the attendess. ----- ### "Easy to use, did the job" — 4.0/5 > **Sandy** | *30 June 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and navigate the software. Customers needed little to no training as it was very intuitive. > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything I didn't like - the product had all the features I needed and it worked well, never went down. > > I used this while doing production support for a software company. Customers could easily submit tickets to the system and we got notified immediately via email when new tickets came in. Communication back and forth with customers was also easy, and we could attach documents to our replies. Overall a simple yet effective tool. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/113755/zoho-backstage?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/113755/zoho-backstage) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
