It is very intuitive and I am curious to work with the new app. > > **Cons**: Some features that I would like to have were not available. This could be due to the lack of understanding by the person working to create the functionality required for our needs. > > I am new to the world of conferencing and events, so the system of managing abstracts was foreign to me. CATALYST and Representative has been a tremendous help in learning the system. When I tell you I was new, my entire concept of what I was using the tool for was off. Now, I feel confident and I am looking forward to actually putting our conferencing events and using CATALYST next year, we are even looking into the app designed for interfacing with our event for next year. This will assist us in streamlining that portion of our process and also saving us time in the long run. I really have nothing else to compare CATALYST to as I am completely new to the industry, but I will say, that it’s a great system to have to compare in the future. ----- ### "Great product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Gayla** | *7 October 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For us, the main benefit was how much it cut down on staff time to manually create custom webpages of our own with the necessary information, first for the actual Call for Papers and then separately for the Reviewers. All the way from the Call for Papers to the review process was tedious and took many hours between 2 staff members. This product put everything in one place and offered easy completion for the applicant and easy access for the reviewers and cut staff time to very little. > > **Cons**: There are places where it's not obvious how to get from one place to another. So for a beginning user, it could be a little frustrating. But once you're oriented, it's very easy. > > My overall experience over the past 4 years has been great\! The software accomplishes what we need it to, it allowed the full process to be in one place, and the customer support and timeliness of requests is the best I've experienced from any vendor I've ever worked with. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an abstract management system. ----- ### "Good but confusing to users" — 3.0/5 > **Diane** | *3 October 2019* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Overall it is wonderful how some items be customized. > > **Cons**: The way additional speakers are added is very confusing. Users had a hard time adding co-presenters. Also, the way the information exports it isn’t easy to track the presenter’s company name, address etc. ----- ### "Catalyst review" — 4.0/5 > **Devin** | *11 October 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We lost an employee due to retirement and then picked up this software, which made it easy to transition from our old manual process to a new, online process - with less labor. > > **Cons**: The fact that you can't have several collections running at the same time. They are all lumped into one collection, even though we are collecting several different types of abstracts at different times. > > Less labor Great support Quick turnarounds Mass emails This software has made the whole collection of abstracts a lot easier for our group. I can't even imagine going back to the way we used to do it. ----- ### "Great Product" — 5.0/5 > **Debbie** | *30 September 2019* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is adjustable for each of our clients needs and requirements - and they are varied. The information we collect can be put into journal ready documents that look great. > > **Cons**: The fact that you can't print out just the abstract contents on a page (for reviewers and submitters). The affiliations section isn't very intuitive. > > We have had a great experience with CATALYST and use it for a handful of clients. The staff is knowledgeable and always very helpful - great customer service. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/151220/omnipress-abstract-management?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/151220/omnipress-abstract-management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
