What do you like best about Submittable?

really easy to use. I have just closed out an application process today. I am looking forward to hearing feedback from reviewers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

I would love for the application to translate into the Spanish language. I can have my input language translated separately - but the static app language is only in English. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saving paper!

Also - I can pull data on applicants as well as reviewer scores for analysis - much much easier, green, time-saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Submittable?

It streamlines the entire processing of forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

Anyone submitting a form has to create an account, no option for a "public" form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Streamlines the request for recommendations. It automatically sends emails to recommenders and attaches them to that specific application/form. Applicants can see when recommendations have been submitted too. Easy to mark and let applicants know applications are complete. Easy messaging to applicants about the status of their application.

The filters for searching are very useful and keep everything orderly. There are also lots of online help articles if you get stuck with anything.

What do you like best about Submittable?

Easy form building, application collection and reports generation, convenient display of sent additional forms in the applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

1. Deleting one by one created additional forms - it would be easier to select some and delete them altogether.

2. "The delete function will remove the label from all applications and delete the label." - when there are many labels, it would be more convenient if deleting labels in Configurations would not delete labels in archived applications (for the audit trail).

3. Inconvenient tool for evaluation of applications. Our application evaluation sheets are more complex than the Review Form Tools proposed for evaluation. We could solve this problem via the Excel table inserted in the Review Form, however, it is inconvenient that the Excel table cannot be formatted according to our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Submittable eased collection and registration of project applications, as well as preparation of received application reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Submittable?

Submittable allows for one to create submission forms with an easy builder. It also helps tracks the submissions internally so we know who has submitted and who hasn't. It also allows for mutliple users and assignments so that each form can go to a specific user and not everyone needs to be notified. The forced account system also allows for a submitter to track their submission an see it sit in a draft stage and not submitted state. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

All my submission forms are searchable through google. Some of them are private forms that only those who have the link to submit on but there are many others trying to use the form. A lot of users that we ask for submissions also complain on the fact you need to create an account in order to make a submission. While it's extremely helpful, there should be an option that allows for submissions without creating an account for these. It also intimidates our non tech savvy users.

Some time last year, submittable also stopped allowing us to see all the submissions of.a particular submission form at once. You will need to user filters if you want the same effect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Submittable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Submittable helps us collect information that we need. With it, we can collect information and data we request of from our selective users. The designed form also allows us to put as much information we need to prevent the FAQ that often happens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
