"Comprehensive platform for awards ceremony management"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Award Force?

It's incredibly comprehensive in that you can set it up from the application perspective - facing your applicants. You can also organise the judging on there too, so it really takes you from start to finish.

The fact that it's an online platform means anyone applying or judging can access it all from anywhere, and we didn't need to give anyone access to anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Award Force?

It's quite clunky and not the most intuitive. I struggled to download certain assets quickly and easily, and would've liked some more training on the platform but it doesn't seem like it gives you a dedicated support agent.

It also doesn't pick up on things like if you have a judge who also has entered the awards, then it'd be great if it would automatically stop them judging that category to avoid bias. As far as I can tell it doesn't currently have this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Onboarding and Outstanding Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Award Force?

I love the ease of implementation. The onboarding process was so good. The team were great at explaining everything and the video help is amazing for those reminders on how to do something when you only use the system annually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Award Force?

The beginner package has its limitations, but at this point, we neither need nor can afford to upgrade to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highest Marks for Award Force Software and Customer Service"
5/5
What do you like best about Award Force?

Entrants and Judges both found the Award Force platform easy and intuitive - even those who claimed to be non-techy. When there were issues (user error!) customer service was quick to respond.

Even with the most basis package Award Force meets our needs and is much easier than doing everything via email as we did in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Award Force?

We use the most basic package - I wish there were more options to enhance the forms with graphics without having to upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
