AA Azeez A. Director of Programs and Projects Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/24/2025 "Streamlined Submission Management Made Easy" 4/5 What do you like best about Submittable? Submittable makes it easy to collect, manage, and review submissions in one place. Its intuitive interface, customizable forms, and collaborative review features simplify complex workflows and save time for both applicants and administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Submittable? While the platform is very functional, some advanced customization options require extra effort or support from the Submittable team. Reporting features could be more flexible, and the pricing can become steep for larger programs or growing teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you? Submittable helps streamline the entire grant and application process by centralizing submissions, automating reviews, and enabling better team collaboration. It eliminates the need for manual tracking via spreadsheets or email chains, which has saved us time, reduced errors, and improved the experience for both reviewers and applicants.

There is a lot of customization available for our Submittable projects which allow us to gather data and ask questions that will lead us to developing better programs for our applicants. It is also easy to navigate as a new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Submittable? There is a need for a more configured CRM and the lack of one really adds time to our workteam as we use a third-party software to coordinate with Submittable to get the information collection we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you? Submittable is used for our applicants to submit their requests for funding through our grant opportunities. Internally, we can review and adapt our applications to best-fit the organizations we are working with. Submittable takes out the organization load that comes along with one-by-one application requests and allows us to categorize and project manage various applications at one time. We use this product for all our applications and also for data gathering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love the "open editing" feature and the use of email templates to simplify and automate different review processes. The "randomize assignments" feature is also incredibly useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Submittable? There are a few features that I'd love to see added to Submittable in the future. I'd love it if the search filters were a little more robust. It would be incredibly useful to be able to create our own tiers that different screeners and readers belong to and to be able to search for all assignments ready to be assigned or currently assigned to a given tier. I would also love to be able to sort by submissions that have been rated by the reader currently assigned to it. Currently, the filter for completed review pulls all results that have been read/rated by anyone as opposed to results that have been rated only by those currently assigned to them. It would also be more convenient to be able to request refunds independently via Submittable instead of submitting a request to billing via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you? Our award has grown past the size that our team could comfortably manage without the assistance of some kind of software. Submittable is fulfilling that need for us and it also allows our readers to read remotely for the award. The amount of manuscripts that we are able to process with Submittable is far more than what we could do manually. We also appreciate that Submittable's platform is more convenient for many in the digital world we live in, which encourages our submitters to find and submit to us, expanding our reach to a broader audience.

Submittable is really simple to use. Efficient and extremely clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Submittable? When reviewing applications there are often small technical issues like if you click on a video to begin watching and try to expand it, it will automatically close the entire video.

Submittable is used to house all of our applications and is the reviewing process of our annual cycle. For what we need, it fits us perfectly! I am able to change and update the applications and items on the fly as needed. I can even walk my reviewers through simple technical help myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Submittable? Some of the updates have reset my settings without my knowledge. I've only found out when something stopped working correctly and had to troubleshoot. Also, not knowing the pricing and setting up the pricing is quite agravating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you? All of the data gathered in the applications is easy to download in a spreadsheet. Which in turn saves me so much time. Everything is completely customizable! Without having to contact anyone else, it saves me time and quite a bit of money. Our review process can take place on the platform as well, and with three reviewers to an application, it can be a bit to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use it as a workflow for managing prof dev requests. It is helpful to be able to make edits to the application or configuration rather than having to go through local IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Submittable? We are not able to sort at a more granular level RE: status completion of some of our additional forms. The report export function is also not very intuitive. It offers many options but after much tinkering, they don't produce the desired results. We will likely need to purchase dedicated programming time from Submittable support to get customized report exports that work for is. Also, we have several separate licenses in offices across our larger organization, and it would be great if, taken together, we were able to receive an additional org-level discount based on the total accounts/business we have with Submittable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you? It has provided us a more modern application format with strong workflow, but certain features (like reporting) are still not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
