Submittable

Vorteile

I love the way that multiple people can view the submissions and be able to rate the proposals.

Nachteile

It seems like it is more for writers than arts organizations.

Vorteile

Our team loves the ability to make each form and application its own. This platform has allowed us to expand greatly the number of applications we can process and it has made the review process much smoother.

Nachteile

Despite it being a great platform, we find it difficult to keep up with the expense. For what it provides and the way in which we use it, it's a very costly platform.

Vorteile

Submittable is very easy to use both on the end of the administrator and the individual submitting. People who have used it a lot or are only using it for the first time all express ease at getting their submissions in.

Nachteile

There are only a limited number of times that you can export your data per month on the basic plan.

Vorteile

I like the transparency and the ease with which we were able to implement the software into our grant management procedure. The forms are easy to build, I can create a lot of them to cover the gaps for subsequent applicant communication. We were also able to do blind review to eliminate biases and separate groups of reviewers with different sets of questions.

Nachteile

1) The number of seats comes expensive. As a charity, we have a pool of scientific volunteers who give back to the community by reviewing grants with us. But with the limited number of seats, we had to narrow down the pool to the bare minimum and restructure the whole review process in order to fit in our tight budgets.
2) There isn't an open API available for us to integrate into our mobile app. There is only a read-only API that we were able to connect to but it gives limited connectivity and doesn't allow us to sync the internal grant management process with external-facing community commitments.

Vorteile

The ease of jurors to communicate during the initial review process is one of the most attractive features. Creating forms is easy. Many of the jurors that have engaged this platform have commented that it is a better platform than others that they've used.

Nachteile

Not much to complain about regarding this software, other than it can be pricey if you only need to engage it once or twice a year.

Vorteile

As someone who writes a lot and wants to be published in the future, I think sites like submittable where you can see all the offers, contests etc available to you is a really easy way to find opportunities. Makes the process of finding it really easy.

Nachteile

I had no problems submitting something in, however I don't organise anything on there either so I can't really say any negatives.

Vorteile

Ease of use. Great way to receive and evaluate grant applications.Friendly support from Submittable.

Nachteile

Not sure at this juncture. Pricing could be a challenge in the future as we're a small foundation. So far that has been manageable.

Vorteile

The ability to design the forms is well done and easy to use.

Nachteile

I find it difficult to makes sense of how to navigate the platform after creating the forms.

Vorteile

I really like the ability to change our service based on our current demands (e.g., we can downgrade when we are in our off season and upgrade during the peak times).

Nachteile

Sometimes I find the software interface can be tricky to navigate. There are certain instances where I would like a more comprehensive navigation station/ task bar to make the back end creation easier.

Vorteile

The ability to customize it to a variety of unrelated projects.

Nachteile

Difficult time identifying missing submissions.
