What do you like best about Submittable?

It’s nice to have the reviews in one place and to be able to create templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

I still had to do so much manually, especially correspondence. Creating exports for download wasn’t as seamless of a user experience as I would have liked, and I came to the conclusion after organizing a conference of about 250 that I would have been better off not spending the money on Submittable and just using Google Forms and Sheets instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We hoped to streamline the review management process, and we did to an extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Submittable?

We like the simplicity of interface on both the back and front end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Submittable?

1. Printing applications (the actual application created on submittable) is clunky and needs to be improved. We regularly need to create a paper record (or at least a pdf) of the application form we create for our records and funders.

2. Lack of a Presentation mode for showing applications to jurors (i.e slideshow that goes through all applicants). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Less paperwork, less admin time. earlier access to submissions for review panels, jurors, admins, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
