Submittable

It provides me with all necessary services as a submitter. It provides all I require as an editor.

Pluspunten:

Submittable is convenient. As a submitter, it provides efficient mechanisms for making submissions and efficient tracking of those submissions. As an editor, it provides me with notices and updates to allow me to process submissions quickly and efficiently. Submittable is practical. As a submitter, a single page allows me to keep track of active submissions to several publications. As an editor, the features for reaction and response to submitters makes my job much easier. Submittable is uncomplicated, easily used, and easy to understand. As a submitter, these qualities make submissions tracking manageable. Submittable is used widely enough to be familiar to virtually all writers and artists who submit work for publication.

Minpunten:

Our current package allows only 5 of our team members to have access to submissions. I could wish for more relaxed limits in that regard.

Great for a small non-profit

Opmerkingen: I've had overall great experience and I've been using Submittable about 5 years. I like accessing a real customer service rep in the old days, and I like the older version of Submittable better. The change didn't help me. But I am impressed that I can usually make Submittable work for whatever online application I need.

Pluspunten:

It really allows me to collect and manage information and input from so many of our members and stakeholders for many different purposes. My members and applicants find it very easy to use.

Minpunten:

We always seem to bump up against one or two little issues that make any form less than perfect. For example, applicants attaching new files with their submission, or exporting notes from an application.

I'm sure it's fantastic for what it is intended for...

Opmerkingen: I'm lukewarm when it comes to my overall experience with the tool. I think the biggest issue is that we're not using it for it's true intended purpose and therefore lack a lot of customization and functionality that doesn't exist. Not necessarily a knock on the software, but perhaps a knock on the sales team for allowing organizations to use their products beyond what it's intended for.

Pluspunten:

I am a fan of the form builder, labeling, and rating/review systems that are built in with the tool.

Minpunten:

I don't think it's best used for tracking applicants across multiple cycles/pools, and the analytics section is quite cumbersome compared to other SAAS platforms I've used in the past.

It works!

Opmerkingen: It is easy for our applicants to use and our support staff to modify.

Pluspunten:

Submittable really does the job for what we need it for most- reviewing grant applications. We have a diverse and busy review team and this tool allows them to do their work efficiently.

Minpunten:

Although it is fairly simple to use, it is not entirely intuitive. Some of our users have required a bit of coaching to make it work for them.

Submittable: The Go-To Contest Submission Playform

Opmerkingen: Using Submittable seriously cuts down on the amount of troubleshooting or user error, thereby saving us time.

Pluspunten:

Submittable is very easy to use both on the end of the administrator and the individual submitting. People who have used it a lot or are only using it for the first time all express ease at getting their submissions in.

Minpunten:

There are only a limited number of times that you can export your data per month on the basic plan.
