Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users.

Customisable and adaptable

OminStar Grants allows us to manage the project application process, assessments and approvals, contracting and then regular reporting and tracking. Each project involves multiple parties and all parties (involving both researchers and admin staff) are able to access and view as appropriate.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

We have been able to take OmniStar Grants and customise and adapt it to align with the needs, processes and procedures of our business. Team members and researchers working remotely across Australia have been able to access OmniStar in real time, working in virtual teams to enter, review and update data seamlessly. It has made our work so much more effective and efficient, especially as we adapt to a hybrid working model, post-Covid.

Cons:

It is good to have access to all the documents associated with different grants and projects, but sometimes the method of accessing them appears to be a bit convoluted and clunky.

OmniStar Grants Review

Great training program, friendly service, however what seem to be comparatively simple glitches take a longer than expected time to fix.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Overall it's very accessible to users and administrators with clear processes to follow. It's also flexible allowing you to build your own forms, which are straightforward, and for which you don't need to understand code (although understanding code would be of benefit). Building our own forms required additional training (which was very good), and they took a reasonable amount of time to build, set up and tweak post implementation.

Cons:

The automatically generated output documents containing application information, and used in our assessment process, is not well formatted, and doesn't provide the content in an easy-to-use manner. The dashboard and reporting options are not as accessible as we’d like, although we've found it easy enough to extract the data we need from the system.
