Nothing to dislike, and a great concept/platform

Positive, easy to use, not regular or over the top emails, and around one email a year I think, reminding me of my subscription. They also send emails approaching competition deadlines and results. So this is great.

Functionality

Pros:

The practicality and ease of use are the most useful aspects of Submittable. As the grant administrator for a grant program, I found the onboarding process and trouble-solving to be straightforward.

Cons:

I suppose that, since Submittable is constantly being updated with new features, it is not a final polished product, and it will require me to reach out to the Submittable team when I come across these new features.

Reasons for switching to Submittable

This platform does not have the same functions as Submittable that help streamline the grant administration process.

Pros:

Ease of creating applications/forms, ability to message with applicants directly in the portal, reviewer process is user friendly

Cons:

Lack of automation, limited placeholder tags to be able to integrate DocuSign or other 3rd party integrations that would help with automation, delayed reporting, kind of messy once you get a lot of applications/projects set up, no intentional nonprofit relationship management capabilities, limited project/award management features.

Pros:

I used Submittable for a few years at my last organization, and have since got my new employer to start using it. I find it incredibly user friendly (for both admin and front end users) and value the workflow and reporting I can track all in one place! I can quickly and easily put projects together, assign jurors, and analyze results. I really enjoy that everything is kept together for each submission - I do not have to hunt down forms or notes or images; it is a one stop shop from start to finish. I have used this platform for exhibition submissions, grant applications, retail events, and so much more for our non-profit arts organization. The platform is intuitive, even for those who do not consider themselves computer-savvy. Customer support is always great too, they have a wonderful team on staff.

Cons:

I am looking forward to the continued improvements and hope to see more token use throughout form questions in the future.

Reasons for switching to Submittable

So we could have more control over the project questions as well as reporting and management.

Excellent customer service and support from A to Z

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Excellent customer service! Submittable representatives were extremely thorough and helpful in guiding us in how to create an application (in our case, for a Fellowship program) in Submittable and use different kinds of forms within the platform. This allowed me (one of the main users) to be confident in adding to the application or modifying it (e.g., after the deadline passed, reopening it or create a new form to send applicants in the Submitable system to collect additional information from them). Their helpdesk chat function was also excellent, with timely support and regular staff, so you were often chatting with people who knew your project. Once applicants had questions, they, too, could contact Submittable customer service directly instead of asking me (the person behind the application for the Fellowship) how to navigate in the platform or reset their password.

Cons:

I had a very positive experience using Submittable for over 2 years. I do know it was expensive but also recall that there were no other good/viable options. One functionality that Submittable could improve is the formatting so that applicants can insert paragraph breaks and double spaces. It would also be ideal to be able to export from Submittable into PDF (not Excel only).

Reasons for switching to Submittable

The former platform was custom designed for the organization but was very out-of-date and simplistic.

WizeHive is the right size solution

From sales to support staff, it has been a pleasure to work with the WizeHive team to this point. Setup, while intensive, has been pretty painless. We have strong expectations for usage.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

We're just on the finishing end of launching our database, transitioning out from another database provider we've used for the past 7 years. While that provider required learning the liquid coding language or contracting with their team to make any changes, WizeHive offers incredible flexibility and ease of use. As the sole staffer of a foundation, I need the database to run smoothly and for changes to be made easily, so that management does not take up too much time. WizeHive's team has been excellent in helping us get off the ground and prepare the system for launch. Work with our previous provider was kind of a nightmare in comparison. Using the system seems like it will be pretty seamless from both an administrator and grantee perspective, but we will find out once it is put into use in a few weeks. We considered WizeHive when we made our previous selection 7 years ago, and the company has grown in a way that we believe will address all our needs in an elegant way. This seems like a solution that was able to be right-sized for our needs, without additional feature bloating that complicates some of the other options on the market.

Cons:

There are a few features that are still coming online that will be essential for us, including document and email merge field capability within the system. Our previous system was strong on graphic capability, we will see how Wizehive is in use in terms of being able to quickly view and access data in a clean way.

Reasons for choosing Submittable

Reasons for switching to Submittable

Complexity inherent in program in being able to make changes to the system. The system was also overbuilt for our needs. The roadmap of future development and incremental updates did not warrant the annual price increases which led us to explore other options in the marketplace.

Efficient, customizable grant management tool

My team uses Submittable to manage a grant/scholarship process. We receive approximately 200 applications and coordinate a review team of 12 people to award in the ballpark of $100,000 a year. Compared to other tools I've used, Submittable makes it easier and faster to create projects, improves our administrative workflow, and creates a better experience for applicants.
