Users of the WizeHive Zengine platform have found it invaluable for managing their grant application and review processes. By utilizing this software, they are able to easily manage documents, applications, and track grants. For example, in Chicago's public school district, the platform is used to streamline the annual grant application process for schools. It provides a user-friendly portal for applicants to submit their applications and for reviewers to efficiently review and score them. Additionally, at the end of the grant period, users can generate a comprehensive grant report within the portal.

In addition to managing grants, the research department relies on WizeHive Zengine as a versatile tool for managing various aspects of their operations. The software is also utilized as a registration and submission portal for scientific meetings. Its multi-step application process allows users to save profiles and easily follow up with grant recipients. Furthermore, WizeHive Zengine enables customization of questions based on different states for collecting applications for a training program across different affiliates. This feature ensures that only affiliate directors can access applicant information specific to their state. Beyond these examples, non-profit organizations have adopted this platform to transition into paperless operations and improve communication with both staff and users. With better organization of important documents and streamlined workflows, these non-profits are able to enhance their productivity and efficiency.

The wide range of use cases extends beyond grants management and scientific events registration. Various departments within organizations utilize WizeHive Zengine for data management, storage, scholarships administration, reporting, and even data analysis. As its effectiveness becomes evident in multiple departments, plans are being made to expand its implementation into other areas as well. Finally, the software has proven particularly useful in managing calls for awards and abstracts throughout the year by collecting applications, facilitating review processes, and generating comprehensive reports. This breadth of functionality makes WizeHive Zengine an essential tool for organizations seeking to streamline their application and review processes, enhance collaboration, and improve overall efficiency.

This enhancement has been appreciated by several reviewers.

Not only does this feature save them loads of paper, but it also makes the review process more efficient. Ease of Use: Users have expressed their appreciation for the ease of use of the back-end system. They find it convenient to assign grants to reviewers both within and outside their organizations and create queries for necessary statistics easily. Several users have highlighted this aspect as a major advantage.

Confusing and Non-Intuitive Interface: Many users have stated that they find the system's interface to be confusing and not very intuitive, resulting in a high learning curve and overwhelming tasks. The lack of clear navigation and user-friendly design makes it difficult for users to effectively utilize the platform.

Installation Difficulties: Several users have mentioned encountering difficulties during the installation process. Although technical support was available to assist them, the initial setup proved to be challenging for some users.

Lack of Help Options and Tutorials: Users have expressed a need for more comprehensive help options and tutorials within the system. The absence of sufficient guidance materials hinders their ability to navigate through the platform smoothly and efficiently.

Users commonly recommend the following when using Zengine:

  1. Testing and trial runs before going live: Many users recommend thoroughly testing and trying out Zengine before fully implementing it. This allows organizations to familiarize themselves with the features and functionalities of the system, ensuring a smoother transition and better utilization of its capabilities.

  2. Utilizing available resources: Users suggest spending time getting to know the features of Zengine by taking advantage of implementation support and instructional videos provided by the WizeHive team.

  3. Engaging with the support team: Users praise the responsiveness and helpfulness of the support team at Zengine. They recommend reaching out to them whenever assistance is needed, as they are readily available to address questions or concerns, providing a positive user experience.

It is worth noting that users also appreciate Zengine's comprehensive capabilities for grant management, its customization options, and how it facilitates collecting and managing data from grant applicants and reviewers. Additionally, users find value in the portals developed by WizeHive and believe that using WizeHive levels the playing field for all potential grantees.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
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.
  • The ability to only pay for the features we needed for a system that is easy to use by all is considered a perfect ROI for selected WizeHive Zengine.
I wasn't working with the USTA Florida team when they were using GIFTS, so I'm unable to compare. When I came into the organization they were already on their search to find a system to replace Blackbaud and had closed their grant applications for over a year since they didn't have someone dedicated to focusing on the search.

The Foundation Executive Director is the in-house support for the platform on an on-going basis. They function in the only role internally that handles the grant submission and review process. Being technologically adept is a main requirement of that job, so utilizing this platform easily falls within that realm.
  • Grant application submission
  • Grant review process
  • Grant accountability paperwork (post award).
  • We never considered using it for the accountability paperwork until recently. It's drastically helped us to keep all the files together digitally for easy searches after the fact.
  • We haven't discovered new ways just yet, but was also don't have any portion of the grant process that isn't currently handled by the platform.
We are so happy with the service that we just signed the contract for another year.
Yes
We replaced the GIFTS system due to the high cost and having to pay for features that we never used. It wasn't the best fit for our organization's needs and certainly wasn't within our price range.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
Usability was our first factor, immediately followed by price and features.
We evaluated about a half dozen systems and believe we thoroughly looking into all the available options we were able to discover.
  • Implemented in-house
Yes
We partnered with our WizeHive design partner to create the grant submission portals first and then after they were completed and tested we moved on to the review portals.
  • The only issues we encountered was a brief learning curve as we adjusted to the new platform layout. It was easy to overcome after a couple of hours in the system.
Their design team gave us the option to save some money by creating the forms ourselves for both the submission and review portals. This also allowed us to get to a point where we felt very comfortable in any future changes that would need to be made to forms since we were so immersed in creating them.
We have only ever had one major issue arrive the night before our second grant cycle of the year opened and the team at WizeHive came to the rescue within hours ensuring that we were back up and running with no issues.
No
We had an issues that resulted in being locked out of the system the night before we were to open our second grant cycle of 2018. I reached out to the service team and then, in a panic, reached out to our developer since he had been so helpful when we worked with him earlier in the year. Within the hour he answered and started looking into the issue despite it not being his job. He had us fixed, unlocked and back up and running in about two hours even though it was after hours. A true testament to their incredible customer service culture!
  • It might seems silly for to me to say all, but that is our experience. We haven't found a function that is difficult or challenging to use.
  • We still haven't found any.
The fact that just 1 staff member can manage to run the entire system on top of their other responsibilities has been a dream.
