eCivis Reviews
Pros
The software is a great way to find grant opportunities, and to narrow our search for relevant funding opportunities.
My experience with this software has been very good because the software is user friendly and easy to work with.
It is very intuitive and comprehensive. I really appreciate that I can see completed grant applications to kick start my creative process.
Pro - Awesome customer service, great ease of use, grant synoposis provides information to immediately assess if it is a viable pursuit. Grant applications are available at the click of a button.
Cons
You can still get around this by logging in to your account, but it can still be difficult when viewing on a mobile device.
When you try to delete a "stage" you have to leave at least one file in there and can't delete it.
There are no specific cons or issues that I have had or noticed when using this software. There are no improvements needed that I can think of at this time.
There are times when the application appears to stall, especially in the My Saved Grants mode. I'm unsure where that problem lies.
"Its a good resource"
Pros: Easy to use. I like the customer service. I like the saved searches. I like the organization of the site.
Cons: Even though it's very organized, it's a lot and can be overwhelming. But, otherwise a very good product.
"Ecivis is amazing!"
Overall: Overall, my experience has been excellent.
Pros: A great program that allows me to find grants and apply for them with ease.
Cons: A little expensive, but well worth the price this is a great program.
"As a Grants Researcher, it gives me great leads to new grant request for proposals!"
Overall: This software helps me when searching for grants for our faculty on campus. Also, I put together a bi monthly report with upcoming deadlines for grants that might be of interest of anybody on our campus, and the Daily New and Updated reports that I get from eCivis is an invaluable tool for that purpose.
Pros: Daily New and Updated Grants Notification. Easy to navigate website. Great tool for researching specific Primary Investigators needs; from programmatic needed funds, to specific disease or research needs.
Cons: Some are not relevant to my needs. Since I am solely interested in looking for open calls for proposals for grants health related, I do not utilize the website for all of its capacity, so my input is limited to what I used, which is the daily new grant and updated notifications.
"I am a grant writer and I love this program. "
Overall: 1. Ability to research grants and access the necessary details. 2. Store all documents in one location and share access to those documents with only the appropriate people.
Pros: I like the grant search functions but most importantly the grant tracking from beginning to end. I've been writing grants for 30 years, back before the internet, so I really understand and appreciate all this program does to help find and manage grants. The tutorials are short and to the point so when I need to learn about a function I have immediate access to learn how to do it. Having the ability to track and report with reminders of deadlines is one of the most valuable features in my mind especially in larger organizations that are juggling the management/compliance of many grants. For a large organization the cost of this software replaces a staff position that would cost as much but I'm convinced would be less efficient and likely more exposed to more errors. I would like to see eCivis come up with a smaller, affordable, simplified version (i.e. less bells & whistles) for small non-profits that just need to manage a handful of grants. Grant searching, writing and managing the grant really cut into programmatic responsibilities for these smaller organizations.
Cons: I don't really dislike anything about this software. From time-to-time I have thoughts of little things I wish were done differently or they would add but they haven't been important enough to keep record of.
"We use eCivis to search and apply for grants we normally could not find on our own."
Overall: An easy way to research grant opportunities in one safe and secure location.
Pros: eCivis is an easy to use software that allows us the opportunity to research and apply for grants. Each grant is broken down to a concise summary that gives users the opportunity to review the grant to determine if they are eligible to apply. Users should review the grant's NOFO for more details, but users don't have to feel like they are wasting time by reviewing pages of a NOFO to find out they are not eligible to apply.
Cons: The search engine requires the user to be specific with its search requests. We work at a nonprofit museum and are looking for funding of restoration projects, museum collection assistance, and group tours, but sometimes when searching through eCivis it becomes difficult to find the required grants. We have been looking for restoration and preservation grants for buildings and items, but the search engine provides grants for paintings or other art related pieces.
