"Submittable has streamlined our internal processes for managing grants."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Submittable provides a central hub where all documents and communications can be tracked and shared amongst team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

Submittable does not currently have all of the abilities that we need it to but we are confident in being able to work with what we have and Submittable's ability to constantly add new features. One big dislike is that our organization (NMDA) shares one account with multiple grant programs so the single email is not effective for notifying when things have been submitted.

"Grant Management made Easy!"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Submittable is easy to navigate while managing several grant applications, files, and funding modules. It is easy to use, accessible to multiple people on a team or within an organization. Keeps things organized and can be integrated with DocuSign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

I dislike that when creating a Project the form fields are standard and there is not the ability to create non traditional fields or unique fields that would be beneficial to specifics of our grant applications. Limited modification options.

Also there is not an integration to Quickbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product and and even better support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

First, out client success manager, Rhi Hood is awesome. She is highly response to our needs and always has something to offer our team.

The platform is user friendly both on the donor's side as well as the administrator's side.

Our team also likes the collaborative culture of the BrightFunds team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

I wish BrightFunds offered a some features that we requested, such as a poll on the front end volunteer activities so we could ask our folks about t-shirt sizes, food orders, etc.

On the Admin side, it would be great to be able to project anticipate totals for recurring payroll deductions for each quarter and the year. Our company like to track was actually given - and what amount has been committed or pledged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Submittable has revolutionized how we administer our programs."
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

I like that Submittable is easy to use, has a simple end-user design, and makes creating our forms simple. We transferred from a fillable-pdf form to Submittable from one cycle to the next with no problems and additional users, with no extra work on our part or extra stress. Everyone from the team has been very receptive and helpful, and I imagine we will continue to use the product for a long time. We are already exploring ways to integrate it into more of what we do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

I would say that, at this time, there are few hurdles with the platform, though I could personally go for a bit more customization or a deeper toolset when creating questions/branches in a form. I've got a lot of experience with coding, however, so I imagine this doesn't come up for most users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding platform, outstanding team"

Truly everything. The platform is so user-friendly for administrators, reviewers, and submitters. Gold help support team is there for everything I need. Truly outstanding! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

I would like there to be more/easier customization options, in addition to potential translation features for international users. Honestly, it's been really great so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use for workflows!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

I like the ease of building forms, and building workflows. Being able to plan and structure step-by-step processes for work is extremely helpful when training team members and ensuring nothing gets missed. I also like how easy it is to build in tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

One thing I've always wanted from the workflows, is the ability to auto-assign different stages in a workflow based on whoever was assigned on a previous stage. From conversations I've had with Submittable, I found that that is not possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent support via email"
5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Bright Funds support helped me get a small nonprofit on the IRS list and also on my company's approved list of nonprofits. Extremely helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

It could be better if there was a section in FAQ for what to do if a nonprofit is not in the list of approved nonprofits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

Submittable really streamlines our application and selection processes, and also helps give our program a professional look. The form builders are super easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

The limited reporting features on the basic subscription are a pain - it would be very helpful to be able to export data from reference forms without paying thousands more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Submittable is a powerful tool that streamlines our award management process."
4/5
What do you like best about Submittable?

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.
