Submittable is very user-friendly. The learning curve is very short and most anyone can master the program quickly. Additionally, the team at Submittable is always making improvements and listening to customer feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some minor limitations and annoyances. For instance when you open a document in an application then close the document, you are placed back at the top of the application instead of maintaining the spot your were in the application ... it's annoying to have to scroll back down each time. However, this is minor. All and all I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The back end is very intuitive and easy to adjust as needs arise. Help for grantmakers and applicants is responsive and easy to find. Getting projects up and running is easy, and it's easy to adjust for quality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The few things I have complained about have been updated, like not being able to see applications in draft to support applicant orgs better, that was just updated recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to keep track of submissions and an excellent customer service team. Super-responsive when we've had issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to run reports has been a challenge, despite the massive integration of our entire back catalog of stuff Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Submittable keeps track of the submissions to Writer Advice's Contests. Their people have been very helpful when I couldn't get things to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've had some trouble setting up new contests without help, since technology isn't my strength, but I've gotten some good help. I miss the newsletter that listed our contests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a lot of customization available for our Submittable projects which allow us to gather data and ask questions that will lead us to developing better programs for our applicants. It is also easy to navigate as a new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a need for a more configured CRM and the lack of one really adds time to our workteam as we use a third-party software to coordinate with Submittable to get the information collection we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Submittable helps us keep all of our reviews organized, keeps our team on track, and helps us manage multi-million dollar grants to distribute them to minority small business owners throughout the United States. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be tough sometimes if you have multiple projects going... because you can't assign reviewers access to only one project. Your reviewers can see all of the projects and all of the data, which isn't great if you're contracting out reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Submittable provides a central hub where all documents and communications can be tracked and shared amongst team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Submittable does not currently have all of the abilities that we need it to but we are confident in being able to work with what we have and Submittable's ability to constantly add new features. One big dislike is that our organization (NMDA) shares one account with multiple grant programs so the single email is not effective for notifying when things have been submitted.

Submittable is easy to navigate while managing several grant applications, files, and funding modules. It is easy to use, accessible to multiple people on a team or within an organization. Keeps things organized and can be integrated with DocuSign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that when creating a Project the form fields are standard and there is not the ability to create non traditional fields or unique fields that would be beneficial to specifics of our grant applications. Limited modification options.
Also there is not an integration to Quickbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that Submittable is easy to use, has a simple end-user design, and makes creating our forms simple. We transferred from a fillable-pdf form to Submittable from one cycle to the next with no problems and additional users, with no extra work on our part or extra stress. Everyone from the team has been very receptive and helpful, and I imagine we will continue to use the product for a long time. We are already exploring ways to integrate it into more of what we do.

I would say that, at this time, there are few hurdles with the platform, though I could personally go for a bit more customization or a deeper toolset when creating questions/branches in a form. I've got a lot of experience with coding, however, so I imagine this doesn't come up for most users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Truly everything. The platform is so user-friendly for administrators, reviewers, and submitters. Gold help support team is there for everything I need. Truly outstanding! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like there to be more/easier customization options, in addition to potential translation features for international users. Honestly, it's been really great so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the ease of building forms, and building workflows. Being able to plan and structure step-by-step processes for work is extremely helpful when training team members and ensuring nothing gets missed. I also like how easy it is to build in tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing I've always wanted from the workflows, is the ability to auto-assign different stages in a workflow based on whoever was assigned on a previous stage. From conversations I've had with Submittable, I found that that is not possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
