Cvent vs Swello: editorial side-by-side
Cvent
5.0MARKETING
Cvent repackages its Salesforce app for new Salesforce security rules as November 18 nears.
◆ Current state
Cvent's feed is mostly its release calendar. The November 18 window now has posts for Trade Show Solutions, Plan & Promote, Attendee Engagement, Actionable Insights and Spend & Workflow, plus an index page. Version 8.12 of the Cvent Salesforce app now includes a Salesforce authentication app in the package, to meet Salesforce's new security requirements for integration apps.
◆ Where it's heading
Cvent ships on a fixed release calendar and announces each product line separately. The Salesforce app update shows integration upkeep driven by partner platform rules rather than by new Cvent features. Attendee Assistant remains the most notable recent product item.
◆ Prediction
Expect the November 18 release to go out on schedule and the next window's calendar posts to follow; nothing in the entries points to a new product beyond that.
Swello
5.0MARKETING
Swello adds a notification center for approvals, mentions and expired logins.
◆ Current state
Swello is a French social media scheduling tool whose changelog mixes product releases with marketing. October added TikTok analytics from the Large plan, November 5 redesigned the sidebar, and November 12 added a notification center on every plan that collects approval requests, mentions and expired social profile tokens in one place.
◆ Where it's heading
The recent releases point at teams rather than solo community managers: a reorganized interface, then a way to follow who needs to approve or fix what. Collaboration features are becoming the main product thread between marketing posts.
◆ Prediction
Expect more team workflow features around approvals, such as assignment or status views, building on the new notification center.
