"Hands down the best award management software I have ever used!"
5/5
What do you like best about Evalato?

The whole process of managing an awards program has been extremely easy to setup and execute. It's been a joy! Right from the setup to categories, payment integration, setting up of the applicant and judges portals - the whole experience is seamless for the admin, the applicants and the jury! What i love it that I can sign up and run multiple programs simultaneously. And there are little details such as being able to send out an automated email notification to all or select participants that make the platform extremely user friendly!

What do you dislike about Evalato?

No downsides according to me, i've never faced an issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful, easy to use award nomination platform with only a few missing features"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Evalato?

Being able to set up the platform to suit your award ceremony/event is fantastic. Building multiple rounds and stages is a simple setup. The ability to set up automated emails is very useful for reminders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evalato?

A few minor missing features. For example, no way to import judges. Instead, each judge has to be set up manually, which can be time-consuming and no way for a judge to reset their own password, they have to contact the organiser. The layout of Evaltao is great but could do with a bit of a refresh to make it a bit more modern and interactive, especially when creating submission forms.

The analytics/reporting feature is also very basic and could do with a more in-depth way of analysing nominations. Currently, all users can access everything on the platform. It would be useful if you could set permissions. It would be good to have the ability to upload video instructions instead of text only which would be a nice way to great people once they register, or for judges when they first log in.

Response from Valeria Paskaleva of Evalato

Thank you for your review, Adam - we appreciate your feedback. Please note that all the features you are wishing to see in Evalato are already included in our product roadmap so you'll be able to enjoy them soon.

"Expensive and somewhat clunky"
3/5
What do you like best about Evalato?

Easy for people to review. Got the job done Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evalato?

Challenging on backside to assign judges. We had 1 entry above 100 and had to pay $1,000 (euros) more to upgrade the software. Another option should be if you only need to increase the draft submissions by a few. Additionally the cost is based on per draft (even if they don't submit) rather than submitted entry so that feels funny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Valeria Paskaleva of Evalato

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear this part of the experience was frustrating for you. 😞

Unfortunately, whenever there are pricing plans, based on usage limits, even a single entry above means you need to purchase the next plan. We saw that this was not working for some of our customers, and we already changed our pricing plans, converting to feature-based pricing without limiting the number of applications with the sole exception of the basic plan where we doubled the limit of applications to 200. Still, we understand that your particular case was indeed frustrating for you and our team has already contacted you to offer you compensation.

Regarding the assigning-of-judges feature, please note that it is already on our product roadmap so you’ll soon see other options to add judges.
