"WizeHive Recommendation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

The software is very user friendly. The team there gives you a lot of resources and is generous with their time and attention when it comes to questions and concerns. I felt equipped to use the software and its various useful capabilities after all of our training sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

The interface for applicants isn't as sleek as one would like, but for us it isn't that big of a deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Thing We Have Done"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

We implemented WizeHive Zengine in September 2020 for our Fall Grant Cycle. Not only did Zengine improve our professional look, it was easy for our grant applicants to use. The Foundation Board of Director's was reviewing all applications via a shared drive or on paper. Zengine streamlined this process and gave us immediate results as each Board member completed their reviews. Our Board President said "That is the best money we have ever spent. I wish we had done this sooner?" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

There is not much to dislike. Customer support and training have been excellent. Zengine has provided a quality team that is able to work with a variety of users and with various levels of computer experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Database with Unlimited Functionality and Incredible Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

WizeHive Zengine is intuitive and user-friendly. It is a powerful database with tremendous functionality. The better we learn the system, the more uses we find for it. It has transformed multiple workstreams for us, automating annual functions that used to be time-intensive and tedious. For example, our applicants complete their applications and upload resumes and transcripts; they also submit a recommender's name and contact information and have the ability to send automated reminders, update their recommender's email address, or even submit a new recommender. Empowering applicants to manage this process saves our team hours of work.

We use WizeHive instead of a CRM, mail merge service, applicant tracking system, time tracking system, onboarding app, business intelligence data app, and survey administrator. It saves us thousands of dollars annually. The Zapier integration extends WizeHive's functionality indefinitely.

The WizeHive Support Team is incredibly responsive and supportive. They build our capacity to use the system while immediately helping us answer questions and solve problems. We consider them extended members of our team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

The system is so intentionally designed with so much potential functionality that mastery can involve a learning curve. However, the WizeHive Implementation Team works closely with each client to determine the level of support needed and the level of involvement desired. The Implementation Lead does not sign off on the project until the client is 100% confident in the training, testing, and ongoing management of the system. The Support Team is incredibly responsive and demonstrates consistent mastery of the system and our particular use case. The Help Center has videos, webinars, and articles to support ongoing learning. Every month, we receive an email with all of the new system innovations. In the 15 months we have been using WizeHive, they have transformed the internal dashboards that were already very robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
