A great business partner for our bursary program.

Very pleased. I like their professionalism, their customer focus, and the product works really well for us. The first year of using the product had a bit of a learning curve to utilize the full extent of the available options. With some patience from their customer support team they got us up to speed.

PROS

When researching providers, they all had similar features. What stood out with RQ was their desire to understand our needs, and didn't try to oversell us. They were candid, had some very good suggestions, and certainly understood the competitive landscape. It didn't hurt that their offerings had some flexibility (based on client needs) and value based pricing.

CONS

Not much. One thing I missed was our ability to change some of the 'back end' parameters, but that turned out to a non-issue, as once set up we have had little reason to tinker. Requests for any tinkering were always timely.

Reasons for switching to RQ Awards

OpenWater (which provided a solid product) was acquired by another company and implemented a price increase. As a small foundation using the software for a single bursary program, our needs are modest and had to be affordable.

Vendor Response

Clayton, Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback about RQ Awards. Our commitment to serving our customers remains our priority.

Seamless Experience

From the first meeting with [sensitive content hidden], I knew that we were in good hands. They took into consideration my budget, timeline, and overall needs for the scholarships that I was managing. Additionally, they were able to eliminate the pain points our applicants had had in years prior. While these were small pain points for the user, they were HUGE for me. So eliminating them completely was amazing. Every single person I've worked with at RhythmQ had been kind, caring, responsive and ready to solve any problem that comes up. Highly recommend their team and their product.

PROS

The customer service is top notch. My emails are always answered quickly and problems solved immediately. I love the ease of use as an administrator, for our applicants and reviewers.

CONS

Cost to add an additional license is a little bit more expensive than our small non-profit can afford at this time. Although a bundle rate will work well for us when we are ready to add more in the future.

Reason for choosing RQ Awards

I can't remember who else I interviewed but RQ fit my budget and I felt comfortable with the team.

Reasons for switching to RQ Awards

Absolutely horrific user interface for the administrator and user. Minimal customer service.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Abby. It's rewarding for us to hear that our efforts are making a difference. We look forward to supporting your continued success with RQ Awards.
