"Submittable is a very user-friendly program that makes my job much easier"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Submittable is very user-friendly. The learning curve is very short and most anyone can master the program quickly. Additionally, the team at Submittable is always making improvements and listening to customer feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

There are some minor limitations and annoyances. For instance when you open a document in an application then close the document, you are placed back at the top of the application instead of maintaining the spot your were in the application ... it's annoying to have to scroll back down each time. However, this is minor. All and all I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Our Go-To Product for Applications"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

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.

"Outstanding Tool for Grants"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Submittable helps us keep all of our reviews organized, keeps our team on track, and helps us manage multi-million dollar grants to distribute them to minority small business owners throughout the United States. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

It can be tough sometimes if you have multiple projects going... because you can't assign reviewers access to only one project. Your reviewers can see all of the projects and all of the data, which isn't great if you're contracting out reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
