"I highly recommend Submittable, and my entire team has found this platform to be user friendly!"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

The Submittable support team is always incredibly responsive. I use the Live Chat option any time I need help troubleshooting, and I have always been able to quickly resolve issues or questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

I've had reviewers have trouble logging onto Submittable from Google Chrome. This is actually a pretty large issue, and I hope Submittable will work to make the platform accessible on Google Chrome in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool and customer support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Zengine has been a great tool to manage grants from start to finish. It is greatly customizable and the Implementation team is extremely helpful in making the program work for their clients. The portal is easy to use and intuitive. I have received positive feedback both from my staff and applicants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

The only thing I miss is the ability to create tables for the forms. This would be most helpful, especially for budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly recommend using Bright Funds!"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

I love being able to support non-profit organizations that are important to me, and having my donations matched through Bright Funds! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

It took a long time for my non-profit org of choice to be added to the list (1 year), but it was worth the wait. I can now make donations knowing that future donations will be matched (to a maximum amount). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great application and scholarship management platform, but WAY too expensive for what you get."
1.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

The application submission and review process is great - very helpful when managing lots of applicants. Unfortunately, beyond that I am not finding much value to expedite our funding process. The system I had manually created using Google Sheet for donation tracking seems more efficient, as I have to go into multiple accounts every month and enter multiple scholarship payments. I guess if you are issuing and distributing one scholarship and never have to follow-up, it may make sense, but we deplete funds monthly for all of our scholarships, so it's bulky and time-consuming. The concept of the platform is great, but I have yet to understand why they charge SO MUCH for it. I can create something close in Airtable and pay 1/100 of the cost of Submittable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

The cost is too high for the features provided. See above. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great design, decent functionality"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

The interface is clean and intuitive to use, both as the creator and for users. The drag-and-drop features make building forms incredibly easy and the finished product leaves lots of white space and a great look for applicants. Another excellent feature is the easy-to-use search features when you're trying to find a specific application or applicants with particular qualities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

The tool can be a little bit clunky at times--it's not always easy to remember where specific features are located. Over time, I've been able to figure out where to find most of the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I didn't like was there could have been a few more options in terms of dropdown menu and multiple choice boxes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

3.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Donor/User experience is great and database is pretty extensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

If you do donor matching, there is a significant lag to get funds into the hands of nonprofits. The technical support has been limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic, intelligent Company"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

What I most appreciate about Submittable is the quick replies I get from my contact there, Pat Owen. I dislike reading instructions and Pat indulges me with personalized explanations of how to do various things on the site.

The site itself is quite well designed and pretty self-explanatory once the basics are laid out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

It's a bit early for me to have discerned any real problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
