The platform is flexible! Create your own forms and review forms on the back-end. Really nice for abstract management. The export feature is helpful. Easy to sign up and very few complaint about how to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing restructure screwed our organization. We pay for a few months/year. Now in order to have custom forms we need to sign a pro-rated annual contract. Please allow custom forms in the regular tier-pricing. Now we are essentially held hostage. We can't have blind reviews without signing a contract. The annual contract is now forcing us to buy service we don't need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Submittable can instantaneously assign plays at random to each reader participating in our multi-step process, a task that used to require weeks of tedious work from our artistic staff. For our applicants, Submittable affords them the opportunity to review and revisit and change their applications. (With our previous platform, LiteraryManager.org, applicants couldn't go back or change their information or materials without compromising the integrity of our anonymous review process).

There have been some kinks to iron out as we have grown used to the new system, but we have benefitted from prompt user support from the Submittable team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The format is so intuitive, and easy to use. I love the ability to analyze information, score/rank. I also like the ability to have guidance that reviewers can view on the right-hand size to see side-by-size with the actual submission. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
On the home / landing page, a user sees all the submissions for the entire host organization. If I have 3 or 4 RPFs being collected on the system, I have to see them all and filter before getting to the ones I need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am more likely to submit to a publication if it uses submittable. It streamlines the submission process and shows the status of one's submission. It is also a great recordkeeper of past submissions and to gauge trends in where one's work is likely to be accepted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Aesthetically, it's nothing special. I also wish that publications were required to provide a response when they pass on work, versus just pushing the work to "complete." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We switched to using Submittable from a simple Dropbox link sent to our contributors and now there's no more follow up emails of "you forgot to include...". We simply set it up so everything we request is answered in their submission. It is a great platform that anyone (even those who aren't tech-savvy) can figure out, administrators and users alike.

I only with there were a way to "rank" submissions, not just with tags (we predominantly use those for stages of edits and review). If we could perhaps star or heart each submission it would allow us to communicate as an administrative team which submissions or writers we are most impressed with, or are most likely to use in future.

Managing multiple genres is intuitive and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing that I've seen to improve would be reporting of items sold on a form. It's great to be able to add extra items, but complicated forms can be hard to read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Submittable was easy to learn and set up was a breeze. I could easily share access with others in my organization, enhancing collaboration. Using this tool saved us a ton of time compared the old way - collecting content via email. Customer support was personal and effective too. Totally worth it!

I liked everything about our Submittable experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I never forget to respond to a submission, and they're all in one place. There are also many ways to structure the decision-making process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish it was easier to explain the process to my editors and judges, and I wish we could have a larger team--when we hold contests I need to remove my regular editors to get the judges in, and it's almost more trouble than its worth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Submittable for all of our submissions from contributors all around the world and it organizes them nicely for us to review. It also allows our editors to access submissions from any place they have an internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only problem I have with Submittable is that I am unable to review submissions from the app for the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use. You don't have to be a professional to create forms with Submittable. If you know how to crate form through drag and drop then submittable is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Downloading application process is a bit tedious. Only the file uploads can be downloaded. The application itself needs to be able to be saved as DOCX or PDF. At the moment, I have to manually copy and paste the application into Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
