Overall Satisfaction with Submittable

We use Submittable to coordinate much of our work with outside committees and the members we serve. This includes scholarship applications, session proposals, awards nominations, and more. Submittable solves the issues of having committees spread out all around the country, with people in multiple locations needing to access and collaborate on this work asynchronously.

Pros

  • Enables asynchronous collaboration.
  • Collects a wide variety of file and material types.
  • Streamlines the submission experience for users.

Cons

  • Better communication about updates.
  • More clarity about staff permission levels.
  • No ability to send team-wide messages.
  • Huge staff time savings by collecting submissions digitally in one spot.
  • Much easier collaboration with teams across the nation.
  • Lowered barriers to participation by a simple user experience.
Most tech-savvy people find Submittable very easy to use and intuitive with the principles of other web tools. But less experienced audiences may have trouble that necessitates staff training time from us.
Submittable has certainly helped us improve equity in all of our programs by providing and transparent, upfront, and user-friendly way to participate. Potential participants don't have to know the right people to ask, navigate complicated bureaucracies, or try to hunt down info across multiple websites: everything is hosted on Submittable in a way that is easy to understand and equal for all.
For the price, Submittable offered the features we need in terms of accepting multiple file types, large files, unlimited submissions and participants, and user-friendly design. Other products may limit files, file types, file sizes, or other components that would not work for our uses.

Yes

Would you buy Submittable again?

Yes

Submittable has been incredible for amplifying our ability for staff to manage multiple overlapping projects with team members outside the office, streamlining the user experience and drawing new users, and increasing our impact across all constituencies. For projects where we don't need many team members involved, we tend to not use Submittable because it's not worth it to give up those team seats, of which we have a limited number and pay for.
