The Best Decision for our Grant Management
With Wizehive, the grant management process at our foundation has changed for the better drastically. To have 100's of grant applications in one place and be able to manage archived and current applications with ease has cut my work by more than half.
PROSThe customer service is unmatched. From billing to IT, messages are returned on the same day. For me, that is better than the program itself. I never speak to a BOT or an AI rep. I can actually still speak/email with a human and that makes me stay with Wizehive.
CONSI haven't run into any issues using Wizehive.

The Best Experience!
Overall experience with WizeHive was phenomenal. From start to finish, everything was quick and easy and my implementation coordinator, [sensitive content hidden] , was amazing! Thanks for everything!
PROSI liked that there was always someone there to answer my questions and they knew exactly how to fix an issue.
CONSIt would be helpful to have some templates to go off of, such as grant agreements, sample questions, etc.
Reason for choosing WizeHive
Customer service. Ari answered my questions about price right off. I didn't have to drag it out of him.

WizeHive for Management
The WizeHive team was easy to work with and responsive to my questions and concerns. They did an excellent job of laying out the steps and processes for developing a robust grant management system, which will help our organization ensure strong controls for the deployment of public and private grant funds.
CONSThe setup process was easy - if you have some level of technical knowledge and an idea of what sort of processes to put into place. We were building our processes at the same time we were developing the system with WizeHive and that made things a bit difficult.
Reason for choosing WizeHive
The WizeHive product was recommended to us by another organization because of their good experience. We did not review other options.

NOT Worth IT!
The service has been above average but the platform is designed so poorly it takes away from any saving grace. This has been a horrifying experience for me!
PROSAble to mange several programs simultaneously.
CONSNot user-friendly Administrators are only sometimes timely in responding to issues Every item has to be built out every single year Time-consuming Too expensive! Again, not user-friendly Waste of time and money. Will not renew!
Vendor Response
We're so sorry that you have found the platform difficult to use. We'd love to be able to connect with you directly about your concerns and help, but as we have not received this feedback from any of our clients we're not sure who you are or how to assist. Please reach out directly to your implementation lead. Also, WizeHive is not the administrator of any of the programs on our platform; the organizations we work with manage their programs. If you are a reviewer who is having issues with the program administrator please contact them directly.

Top tier customer service
This has completely met our financial management needs and tracking all of our grant funding.
PROSWizeHive customer support is the best you could get. They helped us develop a system that is completely geared toward us and isn't your typical grant management system.
CONSEarly on the PDF didn't always work correctly but since this has been fixed.
Reason for choosing WizeHive
When meeting with other companies they didn't have the flexibility we needed to customize the end product.
Reasons for switching to WizeHive

Collaborative Support
Fantastic support on the development of our customized system.
PROSIt's an affordable comprehensive system that gives you the keys to operate the system and modify with support.
CONSWhat I liked least was that it is a unique system that I had to learn how to use. Fortunately it was not difficult to learn and the team offered great support through videos, documents and person to person coaching.

Rapidly Customizable & Scalable Solution with Endless Possibilities
1. Implement an idea into a fully functional solution in Production within minutes. 2. Correct and modify configurations with clients and end-users in real-time. 3. Designed to empower system owners and administrators to meet the demands of their clients and super users. 4. Ongoing system upgrades and enhancements to improve configuration capabilities of the system and user experience. 5. Direct and quick customer support when built in Help & FAQ aren't able to answer questions.
CONSWhile the system's capabilities to scale are incredible, there are some missing features or issues that haven't been addressed yet that would add a greater measure of use by both Administrators and end users. - Unable to conditionally require Date fields to be before or after another Date field - End users are unable to print/save full applications once completed. (Review Portals only recently received this capability) - Workspaces (Databases), are unable to connect to each other to share data and improve reporting capabilities - Built-in Reporting Functionality, while extremely helpful, has limitations that cause it to be very bulky, restricted, and can make it difficult to use - Features and configurations can often be buried deep within menus and take time to navigate to - Unable to bulk upload or download attachments to or from records - Unable to send attachments by Bulk Email - Review Portal, user-directed configurations limited What is extremely important for the reader to understand from my items listed above is that when you have a system that is capable of achieving almost all of your business needs and opens the door to a million possibilities, it can become incredibly frustrating when small or specific aspects of the system are not capable of being configured or scaled. It is the give and take of using an incredible configuration management system. Once you get used to having the ability to configure almost anything you want, its hard not to want even more!

Simple and Clean
The Jack and Jill Foundation runs about 9 different grant programs each year and these programs overlap with the prior year(s) programs. Using a Grant Management Platform is critical to our success and sanity. We've had much success with WizeHive Select and are excited about the functionality and feature gains for our Applicants, Reviewers, and Administrators using WizeHive Zengine.
PROSMigrating from WizeHive Select to WizeHive Zengine resulted in a simpler user interface that shows our Applicants and Reviewers what they've completed, what's due, and when - giving us as Administrators control of the language that best resonates with our Applicants and Reviewers and addresses our specific pain points. For example: because we know that mail from the WizeHive Platform could land in spam filters, we add language to the interface at the HomePage instructing Applicants to Whitelist or add to their Contacts the Zengine mailer. The information we've assembled in the Zengine interface to assist and guide our Applicants through the process is always available to them when they login, bringing clarity to the process, and reducing the time spent on searching for this information in previous emails sent. Our Applicants will always know "whose on first" and what next.
CONSIn WizeHive Select I was lukewarm to the reality that our Applicants and Reviewers had to wait for a temporary password to be sent to them when they forgot their password. A change was made with WizeHive Zengine giving Applicants and Reviewers more control over changing their password. Very happy to see this in Zengine.

We use WizeHive for a variety of application needs
WizeHive offers seamless language translation features; you just select the language(s) you need and everything is automatically translated for you! Another feature we love is the document generator. This feature helps us customize our award letters and payment invoices.
CONSHaving WYSIWYG capabilities in the auto-email function would be a terrific upgrade.

We chose WizeHive as our solution partner because they offered the customizable features we needed for a great price. We have worked with WizeHive for three years and each year, we make continuous improvements to our process. WizeHive partners with us in our improvement cycle, listening to our needs and feedback and helping us craft the best solution possible. Our Implementation Specialist was great to work with!

Simple to use - self explanatory
My overall experience has been a good one. The best experience I have is when I can speak with a person at Wizehive for what are complicated questions that I have. It's hard to express your issues in a support ticket, because of that you don't always get the right answers and have to keep asking thru the support ticket. If you could speak with someone, they better understand what you're trying to do and your issues.
PROSThat the applicant can log in to their application and see what they did last year, they can also see where their application is in the process, emails are simple to send and you have control over the emails being sent
CONSI wish that Wizehive had an 800 number - a number you can call and speak with someone. I don't like that I have to send an email stressing that I need to talk to someone. Speaking with a live person is so very helpful and it's the one thing that I feel Wizehive is lacking...in a big way
Reason for choosing WizeHive
I was not working at the company when they chose Wizehive - it was already installed when I started.

Great System!
Overall, the experience has been great! The team is extremely helpful. My implementation specialist was fantastic! Not only was she a wonderful instructor, she helped to customize our system to fit our needs. She was extremely responsive and made me feel like a valued client.
PROSWizeHize has drastically improved our application / review process. Transitioning to an online system has helped us organize requests, track and review applications, which has allowed us to make more informed decisions. Also, the GuideStar integration is great. Our implementation specialist was extremely helpful in creating tools and building the best platform for our needs. WizeHize is easy to navigate and their customer service team is available and responsive when needed.
CONSSome elements are limited, but the overall functionality is great. For example, I was a little disappointed about the letter generator. It's not as neat, easy to use as I thought it would be, but, I was able to find a work around and the team has been extremely helpful in finding solutions.
Reason for choosing WizeHive
I have been impressed with WizeHive since my first phone call. They have a great team. Ultimately, what drew me to WizeHive was its ease of use. Everything makes sense when you're trying to navigate through the system, its clean and simple and had all of the features I was looking for without being too overwhelming.

HSF Applicant and Student Portal Review
WizeHive was very easy to work with and helped us go from a manual, photocopy, spreadsheet approach into a fully integrated online system. This allowed us to have a greater reach to high school students who might want to apply to our program.
PROSOur implementation lead was great. We challenged WizeHive with how we wanted to use our system for both applicants AND ongoing students - through their entire college experience. WizeHive rose to the challenge and provided us with creative solutions.
CONSThe visual reporting dashboard was complex and seemed to lack some functionality (getting data from two forms, for instance).
Reason for choosing WizeHive
Provided a better long-term solution and was able to tailor to our unique needs.

Excellent Value for the Money
Data management is actually something I look forward to now that we have Zengine, and even those on our team who use the system less frequently agree. It is a relatively complex application and requires some time to get familiar with the structure, but we've found the time investment to be well worth it. In fact, the effort we've put into setting up the database to fit our needs is saving us time as we increase the number of records and enabling us to improve other workflows outside of the Zengine space. We highly recommend it and in fact have already done so with another grantmaker.
PROSZengine has completely transformed our workflow and allowed us to organize applications, grant disbursements, and review processes in a way we never could have managed using Google Docs and email. Those of us who use the system regularly can easily find what we are looking for, and we have confidence that data isn't slipping through the cracks. The dashboard views are helpful for our board, and we are already getting a glimpse of how we can use the database to create robust reports.
CONSThe only thing we miss is the ability to be notified (e.g. by email) if something has been submitted through the portal by an external user. But we've found a satisfactory workaround.
