Not perfect but really freaking good

Learning to use and deploy submittable was super easy. We loved the drag and drop form builder and even our less than tech-savvy team members were able to quickly pick up on creating new projects. Especially useful is how intuitive the review system within the submittable is. Our external reviewers tend to be busy clinicians and since our switch to submittable, we have had a reduction in the number of incomplete reviews.

I've noticed the submittable is used by a lot of literary journals and art coops. From my experience, a submittable is great for collecting one-time submissions or registrations. The forms building tool is easy to use and the review features are great. The workflows allow every member of our team to be notified when it's time for them to either review the submission or move it along our internal process (like contracting). However, we also use submittals to fund and track grants that we award, and sometimes the longitudinal nature of those submissions can make the system a little messy. This is especially true for reporting, where initial forms have to be set up just right to be able to collect the data we are looking for in reports. But in the end, even for longer-term award management, the submittable has proved to be very useful and we have received great feedback from our funders.
