Overall Satisfaction with Submittable
Submittable allows us to build and collect applications and forms for our grant programs. We had previously used a different online software, but Submittable works much better for our needs. We have a lot of options to build forms with branching logic and different types of fields. We can also pull reports that help us analyze our programs.
- You can really do a lot within the form options—eligibility questionnaires, all kinds of fields for applicants as well as staff, and additional questionnaires you can add to a submission after.
- There are pretty good options for reviewing submissions (i.e. literally adding scores), labeling, and filtering, to help us stay organized.
- While Submittable has a convenient messaging tool built in to submissions, these messages often go to users' spam folders or their "Other"/"Promotions" tabs. This is not Submittable's fault, of course, but is just a thing that happens.
- Customer support can sometimes be a bit slow to respond.
- I do think the applicant experience has improved. Submittable is used by many organizations, so it's nice for people to have all their submissions in one place.
- As an organization, we are also able to be more efficient than before with Submittable.
I'm not sure where Submittable has helped us build stronger relationships with grantees. I think communication is a way to build trust, and we usually use direct emails for that, rather than Submittable.
Submittable is quicker, more up-to-date, intuitive, and responsive than Foundant. Switching platforms has been a vast improvement.
