What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

For me I like the user friendliness of the platform which is great for someone like me who isn't the most tech-savvy in the team. And if I encounter any problems, the Evessio team are always on hand to guide and support. I also like the flexibility of the design options allowing us to create a professional looking awards website.

The judging functionality is also a big plus allowing our team to keep up to date on the progress of the judging panel and keeping them on track around deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

Navigating the back end is sometimes a little bit challenging although this probably says more about my tech skills rather than the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your review, Steve.

It's great to hear how user friendly you find Evessio's platform and that it's making a real difference to you in terms of the judging for your awards. We are also pleased that you have been able to create some really professional and engaging websites and that our support team provide sound guidance to help you achieve success on the platform.

It's a pleasure for us to help make managing the awards a lot easier for you and your team.

What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

We have used Evessio to run our awards programmes since 2018, prior to which we were using several different software platforms for the different elements of the awards programme (Entry Submissions, judging, tickets etc). Evessio has streamlined our processes, making every step of the awards cycle easier and more integrated.

The submissions process is easy to set up and to use online, and our judges love the judging process - it's simple for them to log-in, assess the entries and enter their scores. The back end of the website is easy to navigate, and is flexible enough to have a unique looking website with dynamic funtionality. The ticketing is easy to set up too and again has flexibility in discount codes and timings etc.

One of the best things about working with Evessio is the excellent customer support. They are always on hand to help with any queries or suggestions - and they are constantly making improvements to their offering and are clear with what they are working on and when it will be released. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

There isn't much to dislike about the software. The only area that I can think of is it would be great to have a seperate auto email/thankyou page for entries and tickets, but this is only a small thing that is easy enough to get around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Amanda, thank you for your review.

We love to hear that our long standing customers continue to benefit from using Evessio year on year!

It's also great to learn that the platform has truly streamlined your processes and provided a truly integrated solution for running your awards.

What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

Many of our awards events have a vast range of information required in order to submit an entry. Evessio allows us to collate all of the informaiton into one please and download when required. This also allows entrants to upload, save and go back to entry forms whenever they need too. Donwloading information is easy and the system allows you to download attachments and entry forms in order of category and company entered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

It takes a few tries to get used to where all of the assets, to build your platform, are situated however after using the platform a few times its fairly easy to locate everything and the help function is also great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Stephen, it’s great to hear that you are finding Evessio helpful and that it’s improving your entry management process. We hope your entrants are also benefitting from more flexibility in creating and amending their submissions.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for sharing your feedback.

You sometimes need a little help from the support team to finess the final branding (colours/fonts etc) but that said, the support we receive is immediate so no realy barrier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great system and a great team"
4/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

It's early days for us in the implementation of Evessio Awards but the support from the team at Evessio throughout the onboarding has been second to none.

From the procurement process, to the onboarding & training, to working with their technical team and support teams, it's been plain to see that they do value the support they give their customers.

Evessio Awards has a very user friendly interface and as a company they are very transparent and open about their roadmap and the direction the product is going in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

There isn't anything I dislike at such, there has been some functionality that we feel would benefit from which we have raised with the technical team, some of which has all ready been delivered or is on their roadmap.

We would like be able to access a lot of the data in Evessio via and API for our integrations with other systems rather than custom reports. However, we have had great support from the team at Evessio throughout the set up of the system and this hasn't impacted the integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your feedback on Evessio’s onboarding process – we are really pleased to hear that this has been an outstanding experience for you.

It’s also great to hear that Evessio is improving your awards experience and reducing the labour intensive tasks you had prior to migrating to our platform.

We’re excited for the enhancements our ongoing roadmap will bring and we are sure they will benefit you too!

What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

Previously I've been running awards manually (on a spreadsheet), the best thing about Evessio is everything is is one place - the judges, categories, submissions, sponsors , tickets & reports. Emails are automated and you can easily update the website on the back end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

The only downside is that I can't use it for my exhibitions and badge printing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your review!

We are really pleased to hear how much time Evessio is saving you and how efficient it has been in bringing your event processes online.

We do also offer some exhibition management software so please reach out to us if you would like to learn some more about this and how it may fit with your requirements.

"Great awards platform with multiple functions"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

The efficiency gains we have made to our application and judging process have been well worth the investment. Also the ability to live-stream our Ceremony and host it on Evessio which is crucial to us to ensure our event is accessible to all and to remove barriers for people to participate who cannot attend the in-person event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

Some of the functions don't work for our event but this is largely down to our unsual Awards model which does not charge for entries or tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your review, Jenni.

It's fantastic to hear you have been able to make efficiency gains and streamline your awards application and judging processes since moving your awards management onto Evessio.

We look forward to supporting your continued success on the platform.

What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

Our awards submissions and judging process is very complicated, but Evessio are working with us to try and automate as much as possible to reduce our workload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

I find the client portal a little confusing in its layout. I do not have much experience on the back end so cannot really comment on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Thank you for your review, Rosie. We have certainly enjoyed working with you to automate your complex awards submission and judging processes and it’s encouraging to hear that this is now reaping benefits for you!

We look forward to continuing to help you advance your awards submissions processes and to providing ongoing training so that the client portal becomes more familiar to you and your team.

"Very comprehensive and robust awards managemet system"
5/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

I love the dashboard showing all functions - judging - nominations - revenue - comms - in one easily navigable space. Plus the layers of permission and access was a very useful feature too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

The only quibble I had was the inability to have two different invoice templates co-existing ie one that specified "entries" couldn't be live at the same time as one specifying "table seats" - the template needed to be the same for both. But they were very upfront about this and I believe its on the list for developments so may already be rectified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

Louisa, many thanks for your review.

It’s brilliant to learn that you are enjoying complete visibility across your awards program by using all of Evessio’s features and tools.

We continue to strive to develop our roadmap with customer feedback at the core, so thank you for sharing your feedback on invoice templates, which we will take into consideration as we shape our development plans.

"Great software giving you lot of insight"
4/5
What do you like best about Evessio Awards?

The best part of the Evessio system is being able to see how many entries/nominations have been saved/in the basket. This gives us a real feel for how many people have engaged so far and a rough gauge of how many entries are yet to be submitted.

The team at Evessio are always super helpful and quick to respond so 10/10 for customer service Team Evessio! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evessio Awards?

The backend system can be confusing if you're not using it on a regular basis, some of the labelling on the site is not the easiest to understand and there are a number of drop downs to choose from, sometimes it's hard to know which one.

However, the support team are quick to answer questions, the online guides are helpful as are the videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gayle Mackail of Evessio Awards

10 out of 10 for support - thank you! Our award-winning team will be thrilled to hear this feedback.

It’s fantastic to hear that you are enjoying the many benefits of Evessio’s powerful entry management features, ticketing solutions and amazing front end websites.

We hope that with a little more training from our team that we can help you in gaining advanced knowledge of the back office so that you can better navigate your way around and continue on your path to success.
