What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

We've been using the platform for a number of years and find it very intituitve and easy to navigate.

Setting up events websites and registration processes is quick and easy. The reporting is great and you we can create custom reports based on a wide range of metrics which is always helpful.

The Evessio suport team are very helpful and the response time is very quick.

It's also very positive seeing how much development goes into the platform and often new development releases are very helpful or provide some nice quick wins! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

Nothing major springs to mind here, but we'd love to see the ability to copy some of the collaborator content when cloning events in the future, as often we will have repeat sponsors or speakers and this would save the need to re-upload their information to the platform.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Josh, thank you for taking the time to write your review and for sharing your longstanding experience of using Evessio Awards!

We are super-pleased to hear how easy and intuitive you find the platform and that our support team have a proven track record of providing a great service.

We recognise the importance of being able to clone (copy) profile-based content and as such, this is on our roadmap and we hope to be introducing the ability to have shared profile libraries very soon - hopefully this is good news for you!

Thanks again for sharing your experiences, we really appreciate it!

"Ready made solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

System is entirely set up with all functionality. Especially helpful for an inaugural awards where you are learning as you go. The support on offer was top notch and fast. System was easy to use for my entrants who are consumers which was really important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

My entrants were putting up imagery which was large size images, could slow the load time for some pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your review, Deirdre.

It's great to hear that Evessio has worked well for your inaugural awards and that the platform has provided a great solution for you. The team here are thrilled to hear your feedback on the training and support you have benefitted from and that Evessio Awards has proven to be easy to use for you and your entrants.

We all look forward to seeing the success of your awards continue on Evessio and to supporting you in their future growth.

"A complete solution for awards organisation..."
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

Evessio was recommended to me by an industry peer and has proven to be a complete, off-the-shelf yet tailored awards organising solution. Having a platform which gives me so many options across branding, entering, monitoring, plus several layers of judging ability is perfect.

Not least as I was looking for a solution that could be implemented very, very quickly following an aquisition. The integration process was seemless, supported and conclusive.

The platform is very user friendly and intuitive even for those with light experience on a form of CMS or web-based SAAS, but then support from the team is never far away - in fact it's never not there. Whilst I would be surprised if the company didn't grow to very large heights, I am able to speak with the senior team at any point and they're always keen to check-in with me, too. Support wise it's more a friendship than a necessity and that's just always good news for any size of business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

Anything I haven't like has either been ironed-out, or having been explained, actually makes more sense than I was thinking. How can you critique a firm who listens to their clients so intently? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your review of Evessio Awards, Rob.

We are thrilled to hear how our platform has provided you with the perfect solution for running your awards and that our onboarding and support has been a great experience for you and your team.

We are also encouraged to hear how much you enjoy working with the platform and that it is allowing you to free up more time to focus on your brand and to devote more time to your stakeholders.

We really do enjoy working with you and your team and are so pleased that you feel we are providing unwavering support and service and building a long lasting partnership as your software supplier.

Thank you again for taking the time to write a review, we really appreciate it.

"Innovative and reliable awards software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

The system is intuitive to use, both as an admin in the back end, and as a customer in the front end. The team at Evessio are consistently focused on developing and evolving their existing product and adding new features, they respond quickly to feedback, and are a great partner in developing solutions to any challnges or requests. We rarely encounter issues with the system and when we do they are dealt with efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

The only (very small) issue we have is that the entry process is transactional and so there are a few unneccessary steps to completing an entry form than our free to enter awards require. However it doesn seem to impact our entry numbers or user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your review of Evessio Awards.

All of the team are really pleased to hear your feedback on the support you receive from them and that you find the platform easy and intuitive.

It's also great that you recognise all the developments we have been making to our software and that they are contributing to your success in using the platform for running your awards. Excellent to hear that our dynamic seating plan solution is working out well for you too!

Thank you also for your feedback regards the number of steps required in a transaction. It's worth noting that some of these steps are optional and our team will be pleased to have a chat about that with you at a time to suit, with a view to seeing if the setup can be adjusted to make things more seamless.

Thank you again for taking the time to write your review, we do appreciate it.

"Evessio is a fantastic platform that is easy to use and has really helped our award shows!"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

The ability to have 1 platform combine the entry and judging process has been a realy benefit for us. Evessio is really easy to use from both an admin perspective and for those entering and judging. The onboarding experience from the team was excellent and since then the customer support is second to none in terms of contacting a member of the team and the help section of the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

The email segmentation to those tha thave entered could be improved a bit, but in fairness to Evessio they welcome feedback all the time and regularly make improvements based on that feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Many thanks for your fantastic review, Kieran!

We love to hear how our customers benefit from moving their entries & judging processes onto Evessio and it's brilliant to know that you are reaping the rewards of using our platform.

We are also pleased that your onboarding was a positive experience and that our support team are always on hand when you need them.

Our mailshots feature is a priority for development this year ....so watch this space as there are many great enhancements coming really soon!

Thanks again for taking the time to write your review, it's great to hear how much you are enjoying using Evessio Awards!

"A brilliant platform which is straight-forward and effective!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

Evessio awards is a very straight forward system to use and one which is easy to navigate and quick. When setting up events and checking products everything is clear and concise when navigating and on many occasions is easy to find the resolution for any issues which may arise.

There are some good how to videos and help documents.

The support team are very knowlegable and helpful and always respond well within their SLA's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

I feel there a few things which could be improved upon but I feel like dislike is a strong word and not something which I feel towards Evessio Awards.

I believe the help documents could be simplified and certainly explained in a more clear and concise manner, sometimes the language is technical or does not provide reasons as to why a process happens as it does and that information would be beneficial for understanding the system better.

The area where I have most frustrations are setting up products, even though all of the information is correct the date validation often fails and there is no straight-forward reason to this and often you have to play around and select multiple different options before it will save and that should never be the case.

If it is an Event Attendance product then the dates should be Event Attedance open and close, I should not have to select Event Close to save a product then at different times the product date selection must match the product category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Many thanks for taking the time to review Evessio Awards, Kunal.

It is so good to hear that you find the platform so easy to use and that it helps you manage your large portfolio of events efficiently. Our training and help materials are designed to offer a variety of supporting documentation and content so it's great that you are benefitting from that too.

Thank you for the feedback on the language used in our help guides - this is valuable to us, as it will help us to continuously evolve them so that they are useful in explaining things clearly. Likewise, thank you for the feedback on product date setup - I have passed this to our team and we will take it onboard.

Many thanks again for the time you have taken to write and submit your review.

"Intuitive & efficient approach to managing Awards! Outstanding platform & a game-changer for events!"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

We've used Evessio since it's original inception and have never looked back! As an event platform it has a truly wide-ranging array of features and functionality making everything from the original entry submission process through to the judging and final guest booking transaction easy. It has helped streamline our internal processes and enhanced the customer experience leading to an increase in revenue across our awards portfolio.

The platform itself has a really user-friendly interface making it is easy to navigate between various events and their independent functions and the high level of customisation and scalability options mean it more than meets our organisation’s unique needs (and if there is ever a bespoke element or new option you want to explore then the customer service team are always available and on hand to offer outstanding support and service). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

Not so much a dislike ... more of a positive problem to have! ... as it's doubled the size of our portfolio! By taking away the manual and time-consuming process of collecting nominations, sorting and managing submissions, and co-ordinating judging panels... it really does give you more time to add to your portfolio and maximize your team's output! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your fantastic review, Oliver!

It's always great to hear that Evessio Awards contributes positively to revenue growth, streamlining processes and is super-easy for your team and all other stakeholders to use. The fact that your awards portfolio has doubled since using Evessio is a fantastic testament to its power and we are really thrilled to hear that you have achieved such success in using the platform. Long may this continue!

Thank you again for taking the time to share details of your success with Evessio Awards, we really appreciate it.

"Leading awards platform and amazing support"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

This platform has made a huge difference in managing our awards program.

Managing submissions, handling judging, and selling tickets for the ceremony are all integrated seamlessly with Evessio

Using the platform is very intuitive and the functionality makes it easy to manage and navigate the entry process.

The team behind Evessio are always responsive and ready to assist my team whenever needed.

I can highly recommend Evessio to anyone looking to streamline their awards management process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

A small nitpick would be to provide more customization options for the submission flow. Some users like everything on one page, while others prefer a single question or section at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Adam, thank you for your review of Evessio Awards!

We are thrilled to hear that our platform has made such a great impact on managing your awards and streamlining everything in one place. We strive to make the platform intuitive so it's also great to hear that your team and your entrants are benefitting from its ease of use.

Our improvements to the judging functionality have been well received so we are pleased you find this has allowed you to gain higher engagement from your judging panel.

Thanks again for taking the time to write a review for us!

"Outstanding fit for purpose platform supported by a friendly team"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

Excellent time-sparing process automation

Easy to learn drag and drop configuration for design, build and changes

Highly responsive support team

For award plan management, highly evolved, fit for purpose feature set out of the box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

No real downsides experienced following 4 years of use. The small team, relative to the big tech platforms, means that the new features pipeline is resource constrained, but the flipside of that is that they are highly responsive and appreciative of feedback, and some of ours has influenced the roadmap within the time we have been using it. 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, Benjamin.

We are really pleased to hear that Evessio has demonstrated excellent time saving an automation of processes for your awards and thank you for sharing that the user friendly nature of Evessio's platform is working well for you and helps you manage everything you need.

As we continue to develop our roadmap, your ideas have been most welcome and it's very encouraging to know that our support team have been so responsive to anything you have asked.

Thanks again for taking the time to write your review, we really appreciate it.

Thanks so much for your review, Cressida.
