Overall Satisfaction with Submittable

We use Submittable to manage our grant making processes - applications, communications, review and award, evaluation and reporting. We also have plans to use Submittable to manage a scholarship program we host at the foundation.
  • Customer Service
  • Help Center video tutorials and blog posts
  • Impact Audio
  • Low barrier to use for new users and outside partners
  • The Home Screen for reviews can look a little bit busy depending on how many applications you have and how many tags you have created
  • Streamlined workflows
  • Increased transparency for all staff and reviewers
Submittable is very easy to use, even as someone who identifies as a non-intuitive tech user. The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is because it can do so many things that it is difficult to keep them all straight.
We are too early in our implementation to tell, but we have brought in guest reviewers for participatory review panels and those people have indicated that they appreciated having access to a tool like Submittable. This contributed to overall stronger relationships with those people and the organizations/communities they represent.
Submittable is much easier to use and easier to set up. It is streamlined and accessible versus Fluxx which felt like a juggernaut.
