"A flexible awards platform backed by a responsive, supportive team"
4/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

What I like most about Evessio Awards is the team’s personable and collaborative approach. They are always responsive, helpful and willing to listen to our feedback, taking the time to understand our specific requirements rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. They have made updates based on our requests and built a bespoke platform that works effectively with our judging process. This flexibility and level of ongoing support make them feel like a genuine partner to our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

The main area for improvement would be mobile responsiveness. Some elements of the platform could be better optimised for use on mobile devices, creating a smoother and more user-friendly experience across different screen sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Invaluable Tool for Event Management with Stellar Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

I really appreciate that Evessio Awards offers a lot of functionality for marketers like me without the need to know how to code. I can easily add, edit, or remove copy on any of our pages, including award categories, which allows me to keep the language relevant to each stage of our campaigns. The WYSIWYG editor is a standout feature because it makes it super easy to update the site and publish changes myself quickly, often within just five minutes of new information such as shortlists or winners being announced. This level of immediate update capability is incredibly useful. Additionally, the team's willingness and capability to work with us on solutions is highly valued, as demonstrated by the way they helped us handle bot entries using Google Sheets and an API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

Not many to be honest. One thing we do find is that on award entries or free delegate entries, we sometimes get bot entries. Being able to add a list of fake email addresses so they are excluded from reporting would be helpful, but the team at Evessio helped us come up with a way to handle that using Google Sheets and an API. It's not a core feature they offer but they were incredibly helpful in finding a solution for us that literally saves hours every week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Steven, thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We're thrilled that the WYSIWYG editor lets you update award categories, shortlists, and winners so quickly, getting changes live within five minutes of an announcement is exactly the kind of control we want marketers to have without needing to touch code!

We're also glad the solutions for filtering out bot entries has been saving you hours each week. Our team loves partnering with customers to build practical workarounds like this, even when it's outside our core feature set and it's great to hear it's making a real difference for your reporting.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!

"Simple, intuitive platform for managing multiple awards"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

I really like the Evessio platform, we use it for two different awards and it's fairly simple to understand and use. I like the fact that you can update the nominations and duplicate or move them when needed, and it's also easy to update the website with judges profiles, sponsors, shortlist, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

Some bits could be simplified, for example the process to add judges to the judging sessions and notify them. It's also a bit confusing that some updates need to be published, but not all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for taking the time to review Evessio Awards, Selene!

We really appreciate the time you have taken to review your use of the platform. It's great to hear that you love how our CMS allows you to create a professional website and that the awards features are easy to use to allow you to efficiently manage both your awards programmes in one place.

Thank you also for your feedback on the elements of the judging process that you feel could be simplified. Offering an easy and seamless process for judges is really important to us so our team will take this into account as we continue to improve and enhance this part of the platform.

Hi Antoinette

We are really pleased to hear how easy you find it to use Evessio as an admin and that it's easy for your customers too! It' also great that you are really leveraging the benefits of having everything in one place to manage your events and that your processes are running smoothly as a result.

We always strive to give the very best customer support to you, so it's super to hear you are experiencing this from our award-winning team.

With regards to your comments on submitters being able to access their feedback from judges, we'd love to talk to you a bit more about this as we do have some bespoke solutions available that we could develop for you. Our Operations Director will pick up with you directly.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback, we really appreciate it.

"Our reliable and trusted partner"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

A year on, Evessio has continued to prove itself as a seamless facilitator for our awards and remains an integral part of our programme. Having now used the platform across two award cycles, it has consistently delivered a reliable and straightforward experience, giving us confidence that it will support the process rather than create unnecessary challenges. That reliability has allowed the team to spend less time managing the platform and more time focusing on other key priorities across the programme, which has been a significant benefit. Combined with the Evessio team's responsive, knowledgeable and approachable customer support, we're just as pleased with our decision to switch to Evessio as we were in our first year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

In our second year and becoming more familiar with the platform, I am confident that Evessio is a truly robust product and I look forward to deepening my understanding of the platform if anything! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience suing Evessio Awards.

It is music to our ears to learn that your transition onto Evessio has been seamless and a joy and that managing your awards process on the platform has afforded more time for you and your team to focus on other elements of running your awards programme.

We are also appreciative of the feedback around the limitations you have encountered, and whilst our customer success team have been able to offer a workaround for these, we are hoping that a a few of the challenges you mention will enter our development roadmap soon.

Thank you again for sharing your experiences in this review - we are all genuinely thrilled to hear that your move to Evessio Awards is proving to be so successful.

"Effortless Awards Management with Stellar Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

What I like most is the support we get from them when we need it, plus the ease of use. The back end is really easy and I love it. Whenever I'm stuck with any issue, like logo sizes or table bookings, they are super quick and helpful. Creating a new website and adding content is super easy. When I need support I send an email and they get back to me in less than a day. I also like that they added an archive feature so we can reuse profiles from old events, which is amazing. I'm so used to using it very efficiently for anything we need. We use it with Stripe for taking payments for nominations and table bookings. We've always used them and will continue to do so.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

{"I would say reuse of previous collaborators (previously a pain point, but they added an archive feature so we can reuse profiles from old events).","Nothing really — all is great; nothing comes to mind for now, I'm so used to using it very efficiently for anything we need."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Evessio Awards for my website, and it makes my website clean and structured. What I like most is how easy it is to use. It's very simple but consistent. I mostly use the main website features for my awards page. The initial setup was very easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Needs some improvement and training but overall pretty good"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

Love the wallet pass and you can track who has opened or received a ticket for the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

The judging process is hard to use on the Evessio platform, a little clunky at times. Shame we cannot send from personal or other inboxes as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

That it's all in one platform - easy to move around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

No option to manually mass turn on the judging profiles - have to do it one by one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience of using Evessio awards, we really appreciate your feedback.

It's great to hear that you love having everything in one place to easily manage and run your awards, collect your data and host all aspects of your programme.

In relation to your feedback on setting up judging profiles, our latest release has introduced a brand new profile library feature. Instead of creating a brand new profile for every Judge or Sponsor on every new event, you can now simply import the profiles you need from any event on the system — in seconds. We hope you will benefit from this great improvement!
