"Pretty seamless user experience!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

I like that it is easy to manage each piece of the certificate process. It is super nice how customizable the templates are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

Sometimes, moving around each individual component of the certificate can be a bit fickle. I think most programs you run into this, but it would be helpful if the response time when moving around certain fields was faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello and thank you for your comments! I'm glad you have found the platform to be helpful. You have great comments about the template builder - we hear you. We are looking at a revamp of the Build module for fall of this year - and that will definitely help. But overall I'm glad you have found the platform to be helpful for you.

Thanks again!

"Manager"

5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

As the name states, it's simple to certify. Plain. User friendly and above all excellent support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

Nothing, really. Perhaps that not enough people use it over other, less efficient, more expensive solutions? (I had wanted to just leave it at "Nothing, really." but needed to add 40 characters minimum to get to press next in this review) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello and thanks so much for your comments! I laughed at your comments above... it is certainly our goal to HAVE more people discover how SimpleCert can help them manage their Certification programs, at a really great price. It should never cost you thousands of dollars per year, JUST to send out digital certifications. I'm very glad you've found us - and have found the platform to be helpful, AND cost effective for you :) . Thanks again.

"Easy to use with great customer service"

5/5

What do you like best about SimpleCert?

It's easy to use to send resources and certificates to our training participants. Customer service is friendly, helpful and quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleCert?

I wish there were more certificate templates. Additionally, sometimes I have issues using it and seeing the email text and have to clear my cookies. My colleague has had the same issue. Additionally, it would be great if there was a way to send one batch to one email address from simple cert, instead of downloading it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for your comments! This is great feedback. I would especially be interested to see if we can reproduce the issue of not seeing the email text. If you see this issue again would you mind taking a screen shot and sending it to us? You can send it to support@simplecert.net - we'll want to see if we can solve whatever that issue is. I've also just added your idea of group emailing an entire project to a single email address - that is a fantastic idea, and one we will take a look at implementing. Thank you. Please don't hesitate to reach out , and again let's see if we can look at and figure out the email text issue.

Hello and thank you for your comments! I'm glad you've found the SimpleCert platform to be helpful. And thanks also for your comments about being able to test changes to certificates that you've made. Have you used the "Update and Preview" button, from within the Builder? It's located on the top right portion of the Builder, when you select that you can preview any changes to a template that you have made, or have an actual certificate be sent to your email. I hope this helps - and thanks again for your comments. I'm glad you found us!
