Clunky but great for multi-step processes

InfoReady was key in our ability to pivot from an outdated paper process (using literally carbon copies) to a digital process while being able to account for multiple review steps. There's a lot of helpful automation built into the software, and the support team is excellent. I wish more customization was available and that there was a function to create multiple iterations of the same form (Across different years/semester etc) and automatically consolidate the data.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The Review features allowing verified signatures (with notes/feedback) from multiple stakeholders, including the ability to set up a process where one person has to sign off to send it to the next, etc., is incredibly helpful for complex approval processes. I also am grateful for the ability for administrators to a) edit applications after submission (since submitters cannot) and b) review by proxy. It's easy to copy competitions for a new semester/year. The ability to customize notifications that are sent automatically is great, as is the ability to export application data to Excel.

Cons:

Inability to edit questions after the launch of a competition. The software is not super intuitive and frequently confuses our less-tech-savvy users. I also wish you could edit the button text and other default text. (My department uses it sort of eccentrically, for an application approval process rather than for "competitions", so the default text sometimes confuses folks.

Vendor Response

We are so glad you find us helpful for incredibly helpful for complex approval processes Nicole! We have some good news for you, as we speak we are working to update the language throughout InfoReady to make terminology less specific to competitions. This will help better suit the many uses of our workflow software. Please check in with your account manager and/or the Client Services team about your suggestions for customization and improvements. We will put your feedback into our database of client suggestions, which we draw on to create new features and enhancements. Thank you for writing a review!

InfoReady and TAMU Grad School

My overall experience with InfoReady wasn't bad, but I don't understand why the company would switch from Qualtrics to InfoReady. Even though we had ran into some trouble along the way your customer relations team has always been there to help. A lot of the issues have been solved through customer support although there are still some requests that we are waiting on being implemented.

Pros:

I like the batch operations the most. It is super easy to download zipped packets containing all the application details. The report is also very nice as it is downloaded as an excel sheet allowing us to use the information in an easily accessible manor.

Cons:

I don't like the UI, it is super clunky and there is a lot of hard coded things that would be nice if we were able to edit. My main issue is with the Organization Hierarchy its hard to easily access the organizations to make edits. We have about 300 different programs offered and the designated reviewer for certain roles change often. The UI box is too small and there is an issue with scrolling. Even when inside the box if you scroll up or down the whole page scrolls along with the box. Another issue with the is with the lack or organizations allowed during the creation and implementation of competitions. By that I mean it would be nice if there was away to make questions that only showed to applicants if they selected a certain answer to the previous questions. It makes the application very crowded especially for those applicants who don't apply to the questions.

Reasons for switching to InfoReady

I am unsure that was before my time with the company.

Thank you for your feedback Teagen. Your suggestions have been recorded and may lead to future improvements in our software. Thank you also for taking the time to provide us with your insights!

Excellent customer service and multi-faceted product

The overall experience with InfoReady has been positive. We rolled it out several years ago, and have been through multiple iterations of re-design to best suit campus needs. The IRR team has been quite responsive to issues that have come up and flexible in terms of working with us. While there are some limitations to what IRR can do, the majority of the time we are able to find and implement solutions.

Functionality

Pros:

• The ability to create templates has been very useful. Building a competition from scratch requires a fair amount of time as there are numerous options for customization, so templates have saved hours of work. • Competitions can be phased, from letters of intent to invitations for full proposals and progress reports. Each may be assigned intermediate routing steps, such as requiring departmental approval, etc. • Competitions are built from modular sections, rather than one single long document. It helps in fine-tuning details and attaches descriptions to individual components such as required uploads. • The entire review process is run through the system, including for non-university reviewers. Whereas before reviewers might have to be emailed materials or links, once assigned they are able to enter the system and respond to all set questions / scores. This allows quick export of reviews, expediting overall review decisions and reducing any potential errors in transcription. The system will also send reminder emails on your behalf and simplifies notification of awardees. • It’s SSO, so university folks just need to log in to create an account.

Cons:

• We’ve run into occasional problems with providing access to different types of accounts, such as our Sponsored Programs Office proposals team who needs to view information on PIs selected for campus limited submissions. We were able to find a workaround, but it took some time. It would be more efficient if it were able to communicate with other campus databases directly. • The interface is a bit cumbersome in creating exports and the competition creation pages are very busy.

Vendor Response

Thank you for this incredibly detailed and thoughtful response, Whitney! We can tell you are an InfoReady power user. We're glad you were able to provide access to the users who needed it. We do have a new user role, the Viewer, which you may find useful for users who need to view data. If you are unfamiliar with it please reach out to your account manager or Client Services for more information. Thank you for writing a review!

Ease of Use and Fantastic Customer Service

Migrating from email to InfoReady has been a tremendous improvement for our funding requests. The customer service provided when issues or concerns occur is one of the best I have worked with. They respond within minutes! Some of the enhancements have had unintended consequences and they are quick to resolve when possible. I have implemented many software packages in my career and I cannot praise the customer experience more!

Pros:

The software provides a streamlined process for our faculty to submit requests for internal research funding. A software package cannot provide or meet every function since each customer has competing demands, but it has the core functionality that greatly improved the submission process from the previous Outlook email process.

Cons:

The inability to send an application back to the PI to update is high on my list of enhancements. Also, more notification options to administrators would be beneficial.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of the InfoReady Platform Paula. We appreciate it very much! It is great to hear that InfoReady has helped make your funding processes better. We have found that the InfoReady Platform often replaces processes based on email and spreadsheets which can be inefficient and lack transparency. Thank you for your kind words about our Client Services team. They are a wonderful group of people and we like working with them too! If you are interested in being able to return an application to a PI/applicant InfoReady does have some functionality to do this, but it depends on what settings you are using. Please consider reaching out to Client Services or searching our Support Portal to find out more. Thanks again!

Some of the pros of the software are the ability to create and copy competitions, run reports, and download PDFs applications.

Here is a list of cons about the software: 1. The internal review intake has failed, listing reviews from incorrect reviewers. 2. Applicants have been able to submit to a deleted competition causing an uncomfortable and inconvenience to our office, the reviewers, and the applicants. 3. Not being able to remove "Add Other Email Addresses for Notifications". Due to the sensitivity of faculty members' outcomes, we would like this feature to be removed. 4. Not being able to change the deadline date into a word text. We currently have several competitions that are continuous competitions which means there is no deadline. We would like the option to insert a text that states: "continuous" instead of what is currently being used: "1/1/2099"

Pros:

InfoReady Review greatly streamlines the advertisement and management of funding competitions (application management).

Cons:

We do not routinely use the reviewer function, as we find that it's still easier to download and forward PDF versions of the applications to reviewers. Given that "review" is in the name of the product, I hope that InfoReady puts some extra effort in improving that aspect of the software.

We are glad you are finding value in using InfoReady for promoting opportunities and managing applications. If you are ever interested in learning more about using InfoReady for reviewer management please feel free to reach out to your account manager or Client Support.
