"Effortless Setup and Exceptional User Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

I love how easy it was to set up Evessio Awards. Even though I've run awards programs for years and used different platforms, this one was incredibly straightforward and required no tech support. Julie, my client success person, made transitioning smooth and effortless. The platform reduced our team's time significantly, allowing us to do everything in-house and giving us more time in our workday to execute the program. The ease of setting up the website on my own, designing different questions for categories, and the seamless judging process stand out as highly valuable features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

Honestly nothing - but I could always use more detailed reporting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My impressions of Evessio"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

As a frequent administrative user of Evessio Awards, I find the platform quite intuitive to use. Being a Finance user, my primary interest is in transactional data and invoices. I like how simple it is to download copies of invoices from transactions.

The reporting functionality is nice. I was able to easily put together a report to fulfil my needs without needing to refer to any documentation.

The functionality to be able to edit invoice details easily is hugely beneficial to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

I dislike the lack of a global search function. As a finance user, it would be hugely beneficial to be able to perform a global search on invoice number, name, email address etc, all Awards without having to go into a specific award.

I dislike the current delays in file delivery which is impacting the delivery of data into our accounting system.

It would be good to be able to retrieve actual sent emails (currently we can only view the content of the email not the email itself) as we sometime requires these as evidence.

Dislike the current bug that occurs when trying to edit invoices but unable to save.

Dislike the delay sometimes experienced to receive the authentication code required to login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Paul, thank you for taking the time write a review!

Its' great to hear that the transactions and reporting capabilities of Evessio Awards are helping you from a financial management perspective.

We also appreciate your feedback on what we might be able to improve on and therefore your feedback on adopting a global search across multiple events has been noted for consideration by our development team for future improvement.

With regards to your other points of feedback around bugs and delays, I am following these up with our CTO for you and we will provide an update to your colleague who reported these matters to our support team.

Thank you again for taking the time to review your use of Evessio Awards, it's very much appreciated!

"AMAZING - user friendly, simple platform"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

Evessio is a great platform with how user friendly it is. Don't get me wrong, training is required and reference to help documents has been used throughout the process but overall the experience I had using Evessio has been super simple and easy to navigate and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

The only thing I would say is a limitation is the website back end and how you add content - the filing system is a little confusing and it does take a bit of time to find exactly what you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for writing your review of Evessio Awards, Natasha!

It's fantastic to learn how simple you find Evessio to use for managing your awards programme and that you have benefitted from our training sessions and knowledge base whilst getting to grips with the platform.

I'm also really pleased to hear that by adopting Evessio, your operations management for entries has been vastly improved and the experience for your entrants is now easier, seamless and flexible!

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience of using Evessio Awards, it's very much appreciated!

"Helping a small business grow"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

We are in our third year using Evessio for our annual awards, and it has significantly streamlined our process. The platform makes it easy to manage everything from nominations to judging and announcements, saves us hours of manual work, limits errors and it just gets easier and better with every year past.

It is great how quickly you can have a working awards website with all the necessary functionalities, a great benefit, especially when you don't have experience in running awards and don't necessarily know what you need right from the start. The platform is great at guiding you through the process.

One of the best things about the platform is the customer support and the personalised training that is available. The team is truly great. They are always responsive and quick to assist with any queries, however big or small, and they are always committed to finding a solution.

Evessio is enabling us to run awards as an addition to our main business, without it becoming a full-time job, saving us time and money, and helping a small business grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

There is very little I dislike about the platform. Whenever there is a frustration built up that I can't do something, or that is not working quite like I think it should, I am always met with understanding and calm explanation of how I can actually achieve my goal. It is rear that after speaking to customer service you feel better, rather than frustrated, but with Evession, this is definitely the case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you very much for your review of Evessio Awards, Mila!

It's wonderful to hear how you have successfully adopted Evessio Awards to streamline your awards processes and efficiently manage your event. All our time-saving tools are clearly brining you great benefit across all elements of the awards process!

It's also encouraging to hear how well you have been working with our customer success team in making sure you have covered all the training modules available, and that the team have been supporting you very well over the past few years in finding your way and in recommending the best solutions to any queries you have had.

We all look forward to seeing your awards continue to thrive and grow on Evessio!

"Easy to use platform - lots of options to make your own"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

The ability to make it our own

The ease of the judging platform

The auto calculations for winners Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

The BOH of the awards setup isn't the most user friendly - it's fine once you are familiar but not as logical as the rest of the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Sophie, thank you for sharing your feedback on Evessio Awards!

It's really great to hear that the platform is allowing you to effectively and successfully manage your entries and judging processes across your awards portfolio, while allowing you to customise the experience too!

Please let me know if you would benefit from any additional support at all with regards to the BOH awards setup - the customer success team are always happy to provide friendly and helpful training and support when you need it! You can contact me directly at gayle@evessio.com should you need my assistance with this.

Many thanks again for taking the time to write your review, we all appreciate you sharing your experience!

"Comprehensive awards system has helped save many hours of admin"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

We moved to Evessio after managing our awards process manually for a number of years. The difference has been substantial - even with the time needed to set up the sites and categories, we've gained so much back and it's so helpful to have everything in one place, from judges and the judging process to entries, shortlists, agendas, speakers and tickets. They have clearly thought hard about all sorts of use cases, so I'm confident the platform will continue to suit us as our needs grow and evolve. The tech support team are really responsive (and patient!) and the training documents are pretty comprehensive, as was the initial training itself. Overall I'm really impressed with their offering, and a number of our judges and entrants have commented how much smoother the process has been. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

Literally the only criticism I have is that it's not the most intuitive system to use. I needed the training offered and have relied on their help library a fair bit. However this is because it has so much functionality, and I can see from navigating that there's a lot I could do in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Esther, thank you for your review of Evessio Awards and for sharing your experience of working with our platform.

It's fantastic to hear that Evessio Awards has made a significant contribution to lessening the administrative burden of running your awards manually, and that you are now benefitting from more streamlined processes and having the ability to managing everything in one place.

It's also great to know that our award-winning customer success team are supporting you well and that you find our extensive knowledge base useful in supporting your use of the platform.

We look forward to continuing to work with you and your team and to seeing our events thrive on Evessio Awards!

"Awards process now in the 21st century!"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

Once we were set up, the entire process was very straightforward.

No more having to keep track of paper entries or sending anything to judges. Everything was available all in one place and it was so easy to regularly check reports, entries logged/entries submitted/judging progress etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

No complaints! (We really only used one feature of the platform for our awards. But any time there was an issue, Evessio had it quickly resolved for us) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your review, Anna.

We are really pleased to hear that Evessio Awards has allowed you to modernise your awards management processes and has resulted in a much more efficient way to run your awards!
