OmniStar Grants Review

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

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.

OmniStar Grants for small research program management

This is a good product that provides a grant and project management system, combined with a CRM. Very good and rapid customer support when needed.

PROS

The combination of out of the box features and configuration capability is very useful to ensure a tailored product that fits our needs. Have been able to solve all workplace needs.

CONS

Time required to review and implement new workflows and forms.

Reason for choosing OmniStar Grants

Combination of a grant management system with a CRM, integration capability with other systems such as MS Outlook and MYOB, and data security provisions. Being provided by a long running and well established company provided comfort that ongoing service provision will not be an issue.

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.

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.
