Wizehive is the best software for our grants

Rating: 10 out of 10

March 21, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a grant service where we need to constantly monitor it, so that we can provide the beneficiaries with the help they need in a timely manner. This software has made it easy for us to manage documents and applications and track grants.

Pros

It allows us to quickly perform all the management of grant payments and to monitor the entire process, from the application to the payments.
Its technical support is always of great help with any concerns that we need to solve.
All the integrations that are made are very useful and have helped us to manage the whole system more efficiently.

Cons

It has a fairly high learning curve, but the technical staff has been able to support us at all times explaining every detail and tool of the system.
Its interface can be confusing for some people and not very intuitive. It can be overwhelming in many occasions, slowing down the learning curve even more.
Installing the software was not an easy task, but once again, the technical team was able to help solve that problem.

Likelihood to Recommend

I highly recommend this software, as it has allowed us to be much more transparent with the delivery of benefits and their applications, also the hours of work in this regard are less, allowing staff to devote to other tasks. A very useful and necessary software.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use [WizeHive] Zengine for a lot of different applications from data management, storage, applications, scholarships, reporting, data graphing and analysis. It was originally used for one department and now is used in 5 with plans for expansion into 3 others. It address so many of our issues but the main one is all information being in one place that is easy to access but that is secure.

Pros

Data Management
Information Gathering
Analysis

Cons

Tables
Calculations that build on one another
Language Translation

Likelihood to Recommend

[WizeHive] is well suited for use in education at many levels from tracking to business management. In some ways we use it as a Customer Relationship Management System for many of our grant streams.

WizeHive Zengine Review

Rating: 5 out of 10

Incentivized

July 20, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use [WizeHive Zengine] to collect applications for our training program across our affiliates. It lets us customize questions per state and split the data so only the affiliate directors of each state can see the applicants for their state. It allows the affiliate directors to track which applications are drafted and completed as well as assign reviewers to the applications as well.

Pros

Customization
Data silo-ing
Ability for applicants to log on and off to complete their application in sections

Cons

It's messy- we can only apply a question to a certain amount of applications so we have 2-3 of a lot of questions
The affiliate directors can't export an excel file from their dashboard
If a question changes or becomes required or not required it impacts all past applications

Likelihood to Recommend

[WizeHive Zengine is] useful for creating custom applications, multiple users and keeping data distinct between the various users (applicants, references, directors and reviewers). But, it can be difficult to learn and isn't intuitive on how to set it up so the data is clean.

Simple, Effective Platform for Managers

June 28, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used across one department, which manages two non-profits that use the platform. WizeHive Zengine has brought both non-profits into a paperless operation and has streamlined communication between the staff and the users, specifically using "advanced technology." Finally, the platform has provided better organization of important documents for the non-profits.

Pros

Organization of materials and CRM data
The company customer service is personal, helpful, and proactive

Cons

Integration with other apps/software
More flexibility for custom application and form design
Enhanced options for using the data in the platform (ie: across forms)
Developed dashboard for administrators of the platform

Likelihood to Recommend

WizeHive Zengine is well suited for our needs in scholarship application collection. The platform works well for one company across several different departments, as there are options to organize information in respective "workspaces."

We are not confident that Zengine is a great CRM platform, specifically for non-profits and fundraising departments.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used WizeHive to manage our call for awards and abstracts. Using WizeHive to collect, review, and report on 6 calls a year.

Pros

Easy to use for staff.
Reporting.

Cons

Uses flash.
Difficult to load.

Likelihood to Recommend

WizeHive is a cost effective way to run a call for awards for small non-profits. The only problems we had were when we outgrew the system. When we had calls for awards where we had over 100 applicants it became more difficult to use the program and our reviewers had a hard time viewing the applications since they use flash.

Is WizeHive Zengine worth it?

Rating: 6 out of 10

August 29, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WizeHive Zengine was used in one particular department of my organization, to manage our annual grant application process whereby we offer grants to all the schools within Chicago's public school district. Zengine provides a portal where applicants can submit an application, and we can have reviewers to review and score the applications within this same portal, and those who receive a grant can complete a grant report in the portal at the end of the grant period.

Pros

Grant application management can be daunting, but Zengine makes it a lot easier.
Combining the grant application, review process, and final reporting process in one portal is a huge convenience!

Cons

With our applicants being a specific and specialized group, we needed customized functions to ensure that only those who were eligible for our grants were able to begin the application process. For this custom functionality, Zengine charges extra, many times a significant amount extra, whereas I feel a functionality such as this should be integrated into the platform as standard.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe Zengine would work well for an organization seeking to offer a public-facing grant that anyone can apply for, or if the organization does not mind having to weed through applications and eliminate ineligible applicants themselves. If, like us, you anticipate a large number of applicants (over 600 schools for us), then Zengine will cost you a lot extra to be able to filter out ineligible applicants upfront so that you only receive applications that have passed muster.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the WizeHive Zengine platform for our grant system. We have both submission portals and review portals related to the two grant programs we provide in Florida. It's being utilized just by those of us connected specifically to the USTA Florida Section Foundation in an effort to manage the grant application and review process.

Pros

It has made the application, which is almost identical to the application questions previously displayed by our old service, seem less daunting and more user friendly to grant applicants.
The grant review team has exclaimed that the side-by-side review option is the best feature ever invented and has saved them loads of paper.
Internally, I appreciate the ease of use of the back end system. Being able to easily assign grants to reviews both in and outside the organization, easily create queries for the stats I need, and the ability to move application through the steps of the system seamlessly make this my top choice since I'm the only staff member dedicated to the Foundation which leaves me with lots on my plate to balance.

Cons

I haven't found any yet. At this point, I'm thrilled with each of the features and the ease of use of the system.

Likelihood to Recommend

Due to the experience I've had, I'm a strong advocate that it's the perfect system for a small or mid-sized organization to utilize because of it's ease of use for both the customer and the staff. I don't have first hand experience for where it may be less appropriate, so it's hard for me to offer an opinion on that.

Easy to use grant management software

Rating: 8 out of 10

December 2, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our research department primarily uses WizeHive to manage our grant applications and reviews. We also use it as a registration and submission portal for various scientific meetings. It currently is only being used by the research department. We plan on upgrading to a submission portal next year for our grants, which will allow even greater ability to perform a multi-step application process, save user profiles, and allow easy follow-up with grant recipients in order to collect final reports, etc.

Pros

Auto email/bulk email feature makes it easy to notify grant applicants. Ultimately helps save time from manually sending emails.
Application forms are easy to update and offer a variety of question types and filtering options to easily ask the correct questions depending on the applicant.
Can perform an entire review process through WizeHive without much need from an outside source. It is a convenient place to keep track of records of all applicants and reviewers.
WizeHive support and implementation staff are very responsive and helpful with answering any urgent questions and providing clarification on processes.

Cons

Initially, somewhat challenging to navigate the site and not the most intuitive when creating application portals.
Needs more help options and tutorials to make the user experience much easier and smoother.
Still some bugs that need to be fixed (including some issues with a few of the filters in application forms).

Likelihood to Recommend

WizeHive Zengine is a great platform to use for managing research grant applications. Our organization greatly values this resource since we receive a large number of grant applications during each year, and having a place where these applications can be easily tracked and reviewed is extremely beneficial. This platform may not be as well suited for our other departments such as marketing or development because they don't require a review process for their programs.
