Great application and scholarship management platform, but WAY too expensive for what you get.
What do you like best about the product?
The application submission and review process is great - very helpful when managing lots of applicants. Unfortunately, beyond that I am not finding much value to expedite our funding process. The system I had manually created using Google Sheet for donation tracking seems more efficient, as I have to go into multiple accounts every month and enter multiple scholarship payments. I guess if you are issuing and distributing one scholarship and never have to follow-up, it may make sense, but we deplete funds monthly for all of our scholarships, so it's bulky and time-consuming. The concept of the platform is great, but I have yet to understand why they charge SO MUCH for it. I can create something close in Airtable and pay 1/100 of the cost of Submittable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is too high for the features provided. See above.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The application submission and review process is helpful. I wish we weren't limited in the amount of reviewers/seats we could add (we can't afford to pay for more).
So far so great

Can be be seen as maybe alittle expensive

Great tool and customer support
What do you like best about the product?
Zengine has been a great tool to manage grants from start to finish. It is greatly customizable and the Implementation team is extremely helpful in making the program work for their clients. The portal is easy to use and intuitive. I have received positive feedback both from my staff and applicants.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I miss is the ability to create tables for the forms. This would be most helpful, especially for budgets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our grants management system has been done previously via email and Word docs, which makes gathering data very difficult. With Zengine, I have been able to easily pull data, create reports, and query information. The Reporting Dashboard lets you create graphs and pie charts which has been great.
I wanted to love this, but it needs work
What do you like best about the product?
Fairly easy to stand up a program. Great team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Important parts of the grant management process are not automated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grant management portal. Product provided a central location for the work but did not automate the process, which is what we needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Determine the process you want and need before jumping in.
Fantastic, intelligent Company
What do you like best about the product?
What I most appreciate about Submittable is the quick replies I get from my contact there, Pat Owen. I dislike reading instructions and Pat indulges me with personalized explanations of how to do various things on the site.
The site itself is quite well designed and pretty self-explanatory once the basics are laid out.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit early for me to have discerned any real problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What Submittable helps me do is organize applications for fellowships at my foundation. I had been doing this in laborious way until I subscribed to Submittable, which reduced my workload enormously.
I highly recommend Submittable, and my entire team has found this platform to be user friendly!
What do you like best about the product?
The Submittable support team is always incredibly responsive. I use the Live Chat option any time I need help troubleshooting, and I have always been able to quickly resolve issues or questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had reviewers have trouble logging onto Submittable from Google Chrome. This is actually a pretty large issue, and I hope Submittable will work to make the platform accessible on Google Chrome in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Submittable allows us to quickly and efficiently design applications for large quantities of applicants. The Live chat feature also allows us to very quickly resolve any issues or questions that we have. By using a user-friendly platform like Submittable, I actually feel more confident in creating impactful programs for our audiences because I know that people will be able to apply efficentely, and we the review process will be streamlined.
Submittable made our online application process so much easier
What do you like best about the product?
The customer service was excellent throughout every step of the process. The ease of use of the application form builder.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I didn't like was there could have been a few more options in terms of dropdown menu and multiple choice boxes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was our first year to use Submittable as beforehand our application process was all manual. The benefits we have realized are that we have saved so much time using Submittable, weeks of work have been cut back.

Submittable is easy to use and I would recommend as customer service is fantastic.
Helped significantly streamline our grant operations!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
SPend some time thinking through how you intend to use it for the long haul. The upfront planning investment pays off.
Great design, decent functionality
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is clean and intuitive to use, both as the creator and for users. The drag-and-drop features make building forms incredibly easy and the finished product leaves lots of white space and a great look for applicants. Another excellent feature is the easy-to-use search features when you're trying to find a specific application or applicants with particular qualities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool can be a little bit clunky at times--it's not always easy to remember where specific features are located. Over time, I've been able to figure out where to find most of the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Submittable has made it easy to collect, organize, and process grant applications for our mid-sized foundation.
Best Thing We Have Done
What do you like best about the product?
We implemented WizeHive Zengine in September 2020 for our Fall Grant Cycle. Not only did Zengine improve our professional look, it was easy for our grant applicants to use. The Foundation Board of Director's was reviewing all applications via a shared drive or on paper. Zengine streamlined this process and gave us immediate results as each Board member completed their reviews. Our Board President said "That is the best money we have ever spent. I wish we had done this sooner?"
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike. Customer support and training have been excellent. Zengine has provided a quality team that is able to work with a variety of users and with various levels of computer experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We nw look much more professional. The required elements of the application help applicants complete all information. The input methods, text, dropdown menus and radio buttons streamline the process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We found Zengine to be a comprehensive answer to our grant management system needs.
