### "Great software for collecting and reviewing applications"

February 8, 2022

5.0

Easy to implement, great customer support during implementation, great online help articles and training videos

Pros

It was very easy for us to implement InfoReady to handle a variety of different application processes and teams.

Cons

It can be tricky to view parts of the system the way another user would see it (applicant, letter writer, reviewer, etc). I would like to have easier ways to view an application the way an applicant would see it, see the email that was sent to each letter writer, see the emails that went out to reviewers, etc.

Reason for choosing InfoReady

InfoReady was already being used by several offices at our university. We were able to join their implementation, which made the cost very reasonable for us.

### "Internal Competitions are a breeze!"

February 3, 2022

4.0

I enjoy having a tool at my fingertips to host and manage competitions, all in one place. I especially like that I can archive competitions to refer to as needed and that I can copy the opportunity from one year to the next, and only have to update details specific to that year's competition.

Pros

I use InfoReady Review to host internal funding competitions. It is quite adequate and user-friendly for those purposes.

Cons

I don't always feel I am utilizing the software to its fullest capacity. The webinars help address some of the specific issues that I'm unsure about, and that's appreciated.

Thank you for your review of InfoReady Maurine! It is great to hear that you are able to manage your internal funding competitions easily with InfoReady. It's also good to hear that you are able to use the InfoReady webinars to learn more about how you can use our product. If you feel you would like to learn more, you can arrange a call with your account manager for general discussion, or with Client Services for specific questions. We are happy to help! Thank you again for your review.

### "Great tool for Managing Limited Submissions"

February 8, 2022

4.0

Pros

For Limited Submissions, I want able to integrate the software fairly easily with our current processes. The fact that it already paired with Pivot was absolutely essential and a major time-saver.

Cons

Occasionally the user interface is perhaps too smart for its own good, and I have to rework forms and templates to get things to fit right.

Response from InfoReady

February 9, 2022

Thank you for mentioning how the Pivot/InfoReady integration has saved you time. It is great to hear it is working well, we have many clients that use it on a daily basis! We would welcome any feedback you have on the user interface. Please feel free to reach out to your account manager to share. Thanks again for writing a review.

### "INfoReady Review"

November 12, 2021

5.0

Very positive- the customer support is stellar.

Pros

The Review platform streamlined a cumbersome "manual" process and also opened up possibilities to restructure the work that we task to Review (with positive outcomes!)

Cons

Sometimes the logic is not straightforward.

### "InfoReady Review "

February 8, 2022

4.0

Pros

Easy to use, I like the ease of sharing links with others.

Cons

Sometimes when there's an update, our customized templates do not function correctly. Our customer service rep is very responsive and helpful though. Reporting feature is often too laggy and slow.

Review Source

Response from InfoReady

February 9, 2022

Thank you for sharing how the InfoReady Platform is easy to use Jessica! We're glad to hear that Client Services is fast and responsive when you have an issue. We agree that the reporting functionality has often run slower than we would like, so we have been making improvements on it in recent months with more to come. Thanks for writing a review of our software.

### "InfoReady Review"

February 8, 2022

4.0

It was overall neutral. If I needed to use it again I could, but it's not my top choice for grant software.

Pros

The software isn't overly complicated and doesn't require a lot of training for use

Cons

Setting up a review template is lacking. There are not enough options for types of reviews. As an example, we wanted a review template that included multiple choice options, numerical options, and writing options. However, only one type of scoring option is available at a time.

Review Source

Response from InfoReady

February 10, 2022

Thank you Erin for sharing how you find InfoReady easy to use. Thank you for sharing this feedback on review templates. While our Build my Own Form routing step option is used by many clients for making custom review forms, we recognize it is challenging to mirror each desired review process. We'd be happy to discuss your process more in depth if you'd like to provide recommended best practices within InfoReady's current capabilities. Thank you for taking the time to write a review of InfoReady.

5.0

Overall, I've had a great experience using the software program. It has been helpful for use running competitions on campus

Pros

It's user-friendly. I found it intuitive and easy to set up.

Cons

Sometimes... it's a little \*too\* user-friendly.

### "Great tool for internal applications"

February 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

This program makes it easy to create, submit to, administer, and track grants--especially for my purpose of internal funding opportunities.

Cons

There are no features I can think of that were missing, but I haven't explored the full functionality yet as I'm new to the program.

### "Fills a major need at university research offices"

November 15, 2021

5.0

I love it, the applicants love it and the reviewers love it.

Pros

This product was designed specifically for university seed money grants and limited competition management. As a result, it is extremely easy to use.

Cons

I like the improvements to the progress reports.

Review Source

Response from InfoReady

November 17, 2021

Thank you Karen for highlighting InfoReady's beginnings. Years ago we were approached by an R1 school and asked to create software to better manage internal funding and limited submissions and that was the start of the InfoReady Platform. Now our software is often first adapted by research offices, before spreading across campuses for a variety of use cases.

### "Grant Limited Submissions"

February 3, 2022

4.0

Pros

I like that our university can manage the entire limited submission process in InfoReady, from posting of the opportunity, to collecting submissions, to reviewing and awarding the finalists.

Cons

I wish the review set-up was more intuitive and user friendly. I've had several times where I've had to set up the review criteria two or more times before it saved in the system.

Response from InfoReady

February 4, 2022

Thank you for your feedback Molly! We're glad to hear you can manage your limited submission process from start to finish in InfoReady. We are working to offer more feature specific training webinars to our clients in addition to other other support resources. This month (February 2022) we have a webinar on routing steps and reviewer management. Your account manager or the Client Support team can provide you with a link to the registration or afterwards a link to the webinar recording if you wish. Thank you again!

### "Great basic functionality - but why no word count minimums?"

February 3, 2022

4.0

Pros

The ability to have multiple application types and reuse application templates is very helpful.

Cons

Surprisingly, the software does not allow for character/word count minimums, which seems like a very basic feature that would be valuable to me and my team.

Reason for choosing InfoReady

Our institution has an account with InfoRead - that, paired with the feature set, made it an easy decision.

Response from InfoReady

February 4, 2022

Thank your for you valuable feedback about word count minimums Nate. We will add it to our database of client feedback. This is our #1 source of information when we are deciding on what features and enhancements our team will build for the InfoReady Platform. The more feedback the better in our opinion so if you wish you can reach out to your account manager to share more details. We're glad you find our software helpful for you and your team. That is always our goal! Thank you again for writing this review. We appreciate your time.

### "InfoReady Software Review"

February 3, 2022

2.0

Pros

I liked seeing a table on the home page of the research competitions available for me to see as a user. It was pleasing to have information organized.

Cons

It was a bit difficult to navigate as a new administrator. Perhaps a user guide with screenshots. Also, the font and webpage design looked a bit robotic. I did not feel like I wanted to explore the site beyond getting the faculty information I needed.

### "Rigid Platform"

February 3, 2022

Form features were rigid and limited in the options available. If data fields were more customizable the experience for administrators and users would be improved tremendously.

We've been very pleased and it's one of the few services that "just works."

5.0

Good. It certainly makes publishing our awards much easier to track.

Pros

I like that we can track our awards and that it will notify our review teams.

Cons

It's a little complicated to set up as there are so many features. I don't like that it doesn't allow for some of the changes we needed once a competition has been awarded.
