"Great solution for streamlining awarding/tracking CEUs"

5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

I appreciate how it can integrate with other platforms like Zapier, so we can have a SurveyMonkey response send participant details to SimpleCert. It reduced a lot of tedius work while keeping our learners happy. I also like that we can customize the certificates to have our company branding. Additionally, the Global Search tool for reporting is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

I wish I didn't have to use a middle service like Zapier to connect with SurveyMonkey. It just means one more potential area for disruption of providing our learners with certificates in a timely manner. I also would like to see a revision of the dashboard for ease of access. It's not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello and thank you for your comments! I'm glad you found us and that overall the system has been helpful to you. AND I have exciting news for you - in the near future SimpleCert will be releasing a suite of custom in-app integrations (SurveyMonkey will be one of them). This will allow you to integrate DIRECTLY from your SimpleCert account without having to use a third party provider. Stay tuned for more information on that update! Thank you again for your comments!

"It Completely Changed Our Client Experience!"

5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

SimpleCert has been a fantastic resource for our training company. It allows us to quickly issue certificates to hundreds of participants by simply importing a spreadsheet, which saves us a significant amount of time. The platform is incredibly intuitive, and our clients appreciate having access to the user portal to easily manage their certifications. Best of all, it’s very cost-effective, and the customer service has been excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with a platform that has been this trouble-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Certificate Generation Software!"

5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

From the demo process, through onboarding and training to daily usage and support, SimpleCert has greatly helped staff in making the certificate generation and distribution process much simpler and more efficient. They worked with us to customize the process for our specific use case and based upon our post event reports to easily transfer data from our reports to the SimpleCert certificate template and upload. They worked with our IT department to integrate their platform with our email system to personalize the distribution process. Customer support is a quick email away and we now have self service certificate templates to cover all of our event needs. Great team to work with and a great product. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

No complaints, it's been a great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SimpleCert solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to process certificates internally using outdated certificate software and an Excel merge file which was more cumbersome using our post event reports used to qualify attendees for CPE credit. SimpleCert has made the process quicker and more efficient saving staff time and headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello Hello! Thank you - It's our honor and privilege to be able to partner with you. We greatly appreciate the partnership with YOU and your team, and am glad that you have that trust and comfort to call or email whenever you have a question or concern. It's the partnership that is truly the valuable, rewarding part.

I also really appreciate your questions and suggestions for how we can further improve the platform - and as we were discussing via email, items like a direct integration with Zoom are on our roadmap and we expect to have some exciting news about that soon. Keep the ideas, feedback and suggestions coming! Thank you again for being such a valued partner.

"The on-demand feature is awesome for a consultant/trainer that doesn't need the service monthly."

5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

The useful features and the on-demand option, which works for my business platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

The only downside I can speak to is the on-demand user option. Since I'm using the software only when needed, I sometimes have to re-learn how to navigate the software. But it doesn't take long and I'm able to do what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello and thank you for your comments! I think your use-case might be way more common that you may realize, and we believe it is actually one of the reasons so many people find SimpleCert preferable compared to other platforms: You might only need to use the platform sporadically, throughout the year and therefore it makes no sense to pay for a continual monthly subscription. I'm glad you found us, and happy that you find the "use-as-needed" approach works well you. You also bring up another great point on this too - that it can therefore take some time to re-acquaint yourself on the platform if you've not been in there for several months. In the platform, you will see a small camera icon next to all aspects of the system - that camera icon links to a short video tutorial about just that specific area of the platform, and that might be a helpful tool for you if you're stuck on a specific aspect and just need to see a 1 minute video for how something is set up. You can also access the full video tutorial library directly from your dashboard in your account. Last item - if at any point you would rather set up a time and speak with a SimpleCert Specialist about anything - you can always schedule a call at your convenience directly from within your account or by clicking on the link below. It's free, we're happy to meet and can review and help out with anything. Thanks again for your comments!

"SimpleCert Makes IFC’s Training Certificates Fast, Easy, and Professional"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

“Using SimpleCert for our Firestop Special Inspector and Premier Certificate programs has been a total game-changer for us at IFC. What used to take hours now happens in minutes—we can create great-looking, branded certificates and get them out quickly once someone finishes a course or exam. People get their certificates right away, no hassle, and our team loves how easy it is to track everything, cut down on busywork, and keep up with renewals as our programs grow. SimpleCert saves us time, makes us look good, and helps us keep raising the bar for firestop inspection standards.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

It would be better if it could integrate with Zapier or connect to other platforms for automatic certificate creation and delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you IFC! We're honored to have earned your trust. I can also tell you that we are currently on the Zapier platform, so you can directly integrate SimpleCert with any other system that is also on Zapier. On our website you are welcome to check out the various Zap that have already been built out: https://simplecert.net/streamline-certificate-creation-with-zapier/ . We will also be launching several direct integrations with some key partners shortly - such as Zoom, Teachable, etc. Stay tuned for information on that soon. Thank you gain for your continued trust.

"10 out of 10 Recommend (Not just reliable tool but a team who cares!!)"

5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

SimpleCert provides an intuitive platform to design, issue, and track certificates with ease.

As someone responsible for coordinating multiple events and trainings, I’ve saved hours of time by automating what used to be a manual and error-prone process.

Benefit: Our participants now receive timely, professional certificates, and we maintain a polished, reliable reputation without the stress.

One of the biggest highlights of my experience has been the exceptional customer support—especially from Aaron. He went above and beyond to walk me through customizations, troubleshoot unique needs, and ensure our projects launched smoothly. His hands-on support made all the difference and turned a great platform into an even better experience.

SimpleCert is not only a reliable tool, but the team behind it truly cares. The fact that this review supports World Central Kitchen is just another reason I’m proud to recommend them. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

Hard to list, they've thought of everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SimpleCert solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using SimpleCert, issuing certificates was time-consuming, inconsistent, and required manually creating and emailing each one. Tracking who received what—and when—was a logistical headache.

SimpleCert automates the entire certificate process—from creation to delivery—while keeping records organized in one place. Their templates are easy to customize, and the bulk-upload and email features make sending certificates fast and seamless.

This has freed up significant time, reduced human error, and ensured a more professional experience for everyone receiving a certificate. It’s also improved our follow-up process and recordkeeping—critical for both internal reporting and participant satisfaction.

Plus, having access to expert help from someone like Aaron meant we could tailor the platform to our exact needs with confidence. That level of support is rare and truly valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most helpful company we've ever gotten help from!"

5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

The amount of support we've received has been phenomenal. Creating automated certificates for our online programs has been extremely challenging until we found SimpleCert. Our representative, Erin, has been critical in creating this experience. He has offered us multiple video conference calls to help walk us through the process of setting up our software and making sure it's working. Even when we made adjustments later, he scheduled calls and made the process very simple. I have never had such a good experience with any company and I've been in the online business space for more than 10 years. I just can't say enough. Beyond the service, the software itself is such a fair price. Other companies we found were literally 10 times more expensive, or more! Far out of our budget for the amount of certificates we need automated each month. Absolutely love the service. It works perfectly. We haven't had any issues. And again the customer support is off the chain! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

Honestly I can't think of any downsides. It's been phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SimpleCert solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem they solved is huge! We were having to manually create certificates and email them to our clients each month. We weren't able to scale as a result. Now it's completely automated and there's so many additional helpful options that SimpleCert offers that we didn't have as well. Like the email that goes to people with the certificate and how we can adjust what that says which allows us to offer marketing. And also the problem of we don't know what the hell we're doing! But Aaron does! And their entire organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

John thank you! It's been great to work with you and I'm very happy that you have found SimpleCert to be of value. I know first hand the amount of time and energy SimpleCert can save - and I'm glad that we've been able to assist you and your team. We would not be here without the support of users like you, so thank you! And as always do not hesitate to reach back out if there's ever anything else that we can help with.

"Just what we need for a small operation distributing certificates"

5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

SimpleCert has a really user-friendly interface and a very clear subscription option assortment. It suits our organization's needs and budget perfectly, and we like being able to buy send credits on demand rather than being locked into a monthly plan. Designing our own certificate was also a cool touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

Having to manually refresh our API key with Zapier every few months is a little annoying, as it can cause some of our workflows to break for certificate distribution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aaron Cole of SimpleCert

edit

Hi Louis thank you! I'm very grateful that you find the product useful for your needs. And thank you for your feedback about the API keys - I can tell you that is a current area of focus. While we cannot control how often Zapier requires you to refresh their API key, we are certainly looking at ways to streamline this more with the SimpleCert API keys. Thanks again for your feedback on that. Best -
