Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Submittable is very user-friendly. As both a application builder and an applicant myself I find the system intuitive and easy. Many pre-populated questions allow a grant administrator to build an application quickly. The start-up time we first joined as a Submittable client was fast, too. Submittable does not take much time for a first-time user to understand.

Drag and drop forms are simple and quick to build, but it would be great to have a wizard/guided support to allow you to set up the entire workflow in one continuous action rather than manually clicking through tabs

I think there is a learning curve, like with anything, but Submittable is relatively user-friendly and includes many tutorials on how to master the software. I think there could be added ways to make it more usable by customizing dashboards for reporting depending on the user, or extracting the organization's mission statement for at-a-glance review.

I am not a big technology person, but I find Submittable pretty easy to use. The interface is simple and clear. A few things are less intuitive, but I've been able to make it work. I've been able to give a number of my co-workers a tour of Submittable, which is great considering I'm not usually the more tech savvy person on my team.

I gave it a seven, as there are some funky paths to get to things that should feel more obvious. But - that being said, I think the use of Submittable is more user-friendly than most others and allows for intuitive thinking when navigating. Overall, I think almost everyone could use Submittable with ease!

There are a ton of great features that make Submittable easy to use and intuitive. The platform allows for drag-and-drop functionality when creating forms. There are lots of great options for form building. The platform feels familiar, like other tools. There is not a unique experience when it comes to management inside the portal. Users with minimal training have been able to navigate the site with ease.

Sometimes, I have to dig too deep to get what I am looking for, or it's just not obvious where to find a certain function. However, customer service is more than able to assist with these issues and handles them in a professional, expedited, and helpful manner.

It's less great for rolling applications because there's no way to hide old submissions. I work by project not by all submissions total and I feel that Submittable is built for looking at all submissions at once. I run into issues where I don't find the platform intuitive- it's hard to figure out how to set response templates. I click on the project when I want to go to look at submissions but it takes me to the project description. I do this every day which is so frustrating after months and months of using it that it's still not intuitive.

For our regional grant opportunity, we had to create 15 different grant applications (using the same basic template, but with different eligibility questions). So it became cumbersome to check on each region separately. We would've preferred one application with more filters on regions so that we could see immediately how each region was doing application-wise. Some of the reporting too is clumsy and shouldn't require checking so many boxes to see responses/filters.

I would say it's fairly usable, however, it definitely took a bit of getting used to on the front end. It's fairly precise and complex, so it took a little training to learn how to use at first. For what it is, I think it's quite intuitive though. Submittable is a really strong product!

Submittable is very easy to use and intuitive. It works like most technology platforms and so if you have any experience with other platforms you are typically able to use this quite quickly and easily.

I dove head first into Submittable on my first day in my position without any training. It was easy to do a self-tutorial with the how-to videos to learn how to build forms and automatic responses. The videos and fast responses from the customer service team made Submittable easy to learn and continue using!

Submittable is very user friendly. Even our less tech-savvy team members were able to navigate Submittable and achieve what was necessary. The single limitation is that it is not easy to move information/documents/applications from the Submittable platform into other platforms, or even to download documents from Submittable into a separate storage system.

I find it very easy to use, but I sometimes find myself tutoring others who do not find it fully intuitive. Submittable is simple and relatively affordable compared to other platforms. Our applicants have reported few, if any, difficulties in using Submittable and our reviewing team is similarly satisfied. If the product was slightly less expensive and slightly more intuitive I would give a 10.
