Trumba Reviews

Summary: We absolutely couldn't function without Trumba's user-friendly, robust system for keeping track of all of our university events. It is so easy to create multiple custom calendars that can be embedded site wide. Of equal value to us: We have received incredible support from our account representative. He is never too busy to jump online with us to walk us through needed modifications and customizations.

Positive: Trumba is highly customizable and flexible, and syncs beautifully across all our integrated systems. We have multiple calendars that reflect all facets of student life and come from several locations-- academics, athletics, extracurriculars, etc. They all come together easily in Trumba!

Negative: I can't think of any cons. If I could, I'm sure our account representative would address them with us!

Summary: We use Trumba as a university-wide event calendar and people love the features. We use it for not only activities and events, but academic calendar information, and course related events that students can attend. We are always finding new ways to use it to solve existing problems.

Positive: It is a powerful calendar system that lets us maintain all of our university events in one platform and we are constantly find more ways to use it. Our website, portal, LMS, and mobile app all pull the calendar content and it helps keep everything in sync.

Negative: None that I know of. We use it a lot and love it.

Summary: Trumba is a great resource to keep our events and spaces organized. It is also very cost effective considering some other platforms cost a lot more.

Positive: I love all of the features of Trumba. We were using hand written schedules before and the colors and time blocking keep everything so organized. I also love that we can sell tickets to our events and easily keep track of everything leading up to the event.

Negative: Trumba not integrating with another system we use... I wish they talked to each other.

Summary: I work in admissions and I use this only every few months, but I have no issues doing so when I need to make my events.

Positive: I like that I can clone events and copy things easily. I like the ability to look back in the calendar to see my events, too.

Negative: I don't really have any complaints, as I said. I don't use this all that much or have much input as to how it was set up.

Summary: Trumba is a highly capable software platform that excels at syncing large volumes of event data, embedding smoothly into websites, and allowing multiple departments to manage or edit information seamlessly. It serves as an all-in-one hub for handling event sign-ups, automated reminders, and post-event follow-up emails, all backed by extensive options for data customization.However, getting started with the platform involves a bit of a learning curve, particularly for beginners. The backend user interface also feels somewhat dated and could benefit from a more modern visual update. Additionally, the software is priced primarily for much larger businesses, making it less ideal or accessible for casual users or small business budgets. It would also be highly beneficial if the developers added more robust data download and export options in the future.Ultimately, if you are a large organization looking for a powerful, deeply customizable event and sign-up management tool, Trumba is a great option—even if a few areas could still use some minor tweaking.

Positive: •Great for syncing large volumes of event
•Easy website embedding
•Can be edited or managed by different departments
•Handles all of the sign-ups, reminders, post-event emails.
•Full data customization

Negative: •Setup is a bit of a learning curve for beginners
•Backend view could use a more modern look
•Priced for much larger businesses rather than casual or small business use
•Would like to see more data download options

Summary: My overall experience was good. I accomplished what I needed to do with only a little bit of trouble.

Positive: I like that it is easy to link the map to show the exact property location. Entering dates and times are simple too.

Negative: I think the layout could be improved to be more user-friendly/simplified.

Summary: The mental model of how Trumba conceptualizes events, calendars, and submissions, as well as the relationships between all these elements takes some getting used to, and the administration interface could definitely use some UX improvements. But the stability and branding customizability are commendable.

Positive: The system is solid. I can't remember a time where the service was down, or when it behaved in a way that couldn't be explained by some user action.

I don't want to understate the value of this. Stability is huge. So, please bear this in mind when reading nay critiques I may have.

Negative: Trumba allows you to configure a time zone for the account, or for a given calendar. But there is not (to my knowledge) an option to show the time zone information in the event, and the Trumba embed does not have an option to adjust the time zone based on the browser's reported time zone.

Summary: Overall Trumba has met all our needs. I would like to spend more time trying to figure out some of the features that are available I just have not had the time to do so.

Positive: I work for a Trauma hospital doing injury prevention, education and outreach events. I have found Trumba to be very helpful and user friendly. I have not had an issues using this platform and am very happy thus far. Support staff have been very helpful especially when I was new in my role.

Negative: I am sure there are many features I do not know how to use but one thing I was not able to figure out was how to have an event that has several time slots to sign up for without making each one a separate event.

Summary: Trumba has made a big difference in keeping our team on track and our audience engaged—really glad we chose this platform!

Positive: Trumba has been a game-changer for our event management. It keeps everything organized in one place, making it easy to update and share calendars without a lot of back and forth. The registration and tracking features are seamless, and the automated reminders and follow-ups are a huge time-saver. With everything centralized—from event details to attendee tracking—it’s so much easier to stay on top of logistics. Trumba has truly streamlined our planning process and made a big difference in keeping our team and audience on track.

Negative: Because it is so robust there is a steep initial learning curve to get the settings just the want you need them.
