Submittable has worked out great for our business!
What do you like best about the product?
We like that our customers are easily able to submit applications online. It was very simple to build forms and we have several of them. The training provided was wonderful and I felt I had all the tools to succed. Also, the online FAQ's and tutorials have been helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were different ways to format questions for instance the address. For our purposes, I had to separate all fields of the address. Also, with selecting the country, it would be easier if United States was placed at the top instead of having to scroll.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to use paper applications and had to ask customers for additional information constantly. We are now going paperless and so far our applicants have not had many problems. If they do, then we are able to solve them easily.
Submittable: Great ROI with MINOR pitfalls
What do you like best about the product?
Submittable is user-friendly. it's easy to build new forms. We are able to utilize it for several different programs that have various application needs. Compared to the cost of other platforms that provide similar services, Submittable is the way to go. Yes, some frills have an additional cost, but overall it was the best return on investment that we found when looking for a paperless system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having been a customer for several years, they recently took away the ability for the "owner" to amend things within the application. While I understand there can be very good reasons for this, I can't even re-send a request for a reference letter to be sent-in or a reference form to be completed. I'm dependent on the applicant to do that. I also can no longer see the email the reference request has been sent to...sounds very small, but over the years I have seen several transposed letters in email addresses. What was once a quick fix for me is now something that I can't even tell may be wrong. I know these sound fairly insignifcant, but they have affected the flow of work to some degree...and, if these are the worst things I have to complain about, it must be a pretty good platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After years of working with paper application forms -- and making multiple copies for committee member reviews, we looked for an online platform that would improve our process that was affordable for our needs. We are a community health system with a very robust employee scholarship program, a competitive high school fellowship program, and a priceless employee (crisis) assistance program. However, we aren't talking thousands of entries per year (we're in a rural setting), so we needed a platform that "fit." Submittable was, and IS, that platform. On the backside of things, it's been very easy to train committee members to do reviews. I have literally been able to sit down with a 70-year-plus volunteer board member, and train them to do a multiple response application review in 15 minutes or less. I am able to make a quick review of the necessary components and then, in a couple of clicks, assign an application (or multiple applications) to the entire committee group. No more copies to make and/or distribute. My committee members can do their reviews from anywhere they have an internet connection -- so there's no scheduling meetings. I am able to design review forms that provide a numerical score for each reviewer, as well as an average for the group. This allows me to determine my awardees by finding a natural "cutline" in the scores and working from there. It's no longer dependent on "I like this one..." and then they can't articulate why. I can see the why in the tabulation of their review. (The point system is not visible to the reviewer. They make their selection on merit not on favoritism.)
Submittable
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything is accesible and you can keep organized records.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a learning curve to work with Submittable. At first is not that easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps us to create a file for each student we have and continue adding forms to the specific students.
Outstanding platform, outstanding team
What do you like best about the product?
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!
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't think we could run this grant program without Submittable. Having such a powerful and user-friendly tool makes accepting, reviewing, and managing applications easy and possible.
Great way to digitize your application process
What do you like best about the product?
Submittable enables staff to view any application - this is helpful when staff are out of the office, anyone can access the file to provide assistance.
The program has also enabled people who live throughout our large county to be able to apply online 24 hours per day.
Submittable staff are very helpful and responsive when we have an issue.
Finally, the variety of reports that are available to build is helpful when reporting grant administrators, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
A few wishes that I have for Submittable:
1. We are required to keep paper files for the time being. Submittable forms don't print that great and our paper files look messy. We also would like to have paper applications for those who are not comfortable applying online - we've had to build our own paper applications because printing it from Submittable is nearly impossible to make look good.
2. It would be nice if we could make changes/corrections to an application after it has been submitted.

Robust Platform that Meets our Evolving Needs
What do you like best about the product?
Submittable is intuitive and user friendly. I found it easy to navigate and had minimal issues finding solutions to meet our organization's needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product is pricey for our small nonprofit and we only need the platform for part of the year.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping our submissions organized and professionalized.
Outstanding Tool for Grants
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Submittable is the only platform out there that can truly manage a grant from the beginning to the end without headaches and disorganization. We are so grateful for this program and it has saved us literally thousands of hours.
Exactly what we need for our non-profit poetry press
What do you like best about the product?
We've used Submittable for so long, it was called Submishmash when we first started using it. We have seen Submittable through so many transformations, and each update they do has only enhanced the site and made our lives easier. We have an annual competition that we run through Submittable and it makes it so easy to tag, review, and vote on manuscripts. We can't imagine using anything else.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much that we dislike. It might be nice to have even more ways of sorting labels (as we use labels a lot), but that is not a negative thing. If the labels stayed the same, it would be absolutely fine, too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to print out each manuscript (over +1200 of them) and vote on them manually. Using Submittable has saved us so much time and energy that we can't imagine using anything else.
I'm administrator. My experience with Submittable is one year.
What do you like best about the product?
From managing point of view : very easy to manage submitions, manage projects users role, scopes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cant upload pictures or gpaths.
Can’t use own classificatory list: choosing data from drop down list.

Great Product and always expanding for customer use
What do you like best about the product?
It streamlines the entire processing of forms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anyone submitting a form has to create an account, no option for a "public" form.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlines the request for recommendations. It automatically sends emails to recommenders and attaches them to that specific application/form. Applicants can see when recommendations have been submitted too. Easy to mark and let applicants know applications are complete. Easy messaging to applicants about the status of their application.
