### "Nothing to dislike, and a great concept/platform"

December 30, 2025

5.0

Positive, easy to use, not regular or over the top emails, and around one email a year I think, reminding me of my subscription. They also send emails approaching competition deadlines and results. So this is great.

Pros

I've used Submittable for over 5 years, entering various competitions and creating philosophical and healing poetry. Also, writing short stories (entered into competitions).

Cons

Nothing, in all honesty... I found it very simple and easy to use. Sign up was effortless, and seemed secure.

### "Everything we wanted and more!"

October 30, 2024

5.0

Great! The customer service was awesome and the product itself is everything we wanted and more.

Pros

Having everything needed/wanted in one website; as well as, the quick response time when I had a questions or concern.

Cons

I like everything about WizeHive and understand the process they use for their users.

### "Not worth the money"

July 30, 2019

3.0

Overall, this system is not user friendly. I find myself spending so much time going through their help center documents. When I don't find a solution to my problem, I have no choice but to contact customer service which is a headache. It takes them about 24 hours to reply to urgent matters and most of the time they provide a complicated solution which they assume we would know how to do. We pay thousands of dollars every year not to have 24/7 customer service or for WizeHive not to make better improvements to the system. The only major change that they have done this year was redesigning the login page.

Pros

It does the basics that every other platform does. The application from the applicant side and review portals are easy to use.

Cons

\-There's no support provided via phone unless you email them first and schedule a meeting (which takes a few days for urgent matters). -Emails usually end up in spam folders. -You can't duplicate applications or move them to the next year's cycle which is frustrating if you've deferred an applicant. -The letter generator plugin is not the greatest. You can't insert certain information which means you will probably have to do write the letters manually. -Recreating all the forms for each year -Submitted and incomplete (unsubmitted) applications are all saved in one place. -The system does not automatically email applicants about the final decision. You will have to do this manually via your own email. -The survey form has very limited functions. -Applications that are submitted but do not have transcripts and letters of recommendations show up as completed on the back-end. You will have to go through every submitted application to make sure they have completed 100% of your requirements. This again takes a lot of time to go through if you have a lot of applicants. These are just some of the things the system is unable to do.

Reason for choosing Submittable

We will be switching to a different platform later this year.

### "My Zengine Experience with WizeHive"

November 17, 2023

5.0

It has been wonderful. I've launched my share of platforms in my career and this was as well-planned, structured, and executed as any of the best I've experienced.

Pros

I like everything about WizeHive, but hands down the cherry on top was our implementation lead, \[sensitive content hidden\]. Maybe all the leads are exactly the same -- I hope so, for the sake of everyone else -- but the success of our platform and launch is credited to the team leader. I cannot say enough good things about his intelligence to build, troubleshoot, test, reconfigure, and train me all while thinking of our needs, what we would need next, and what I didn't yet know. His technical talent is matched by his patience and priority of wanting our foundation and me to be set up for success from start to finish. I got that impression also in my calls with \[sensitive content hidden\]; instead of giving me bullet points of all things WizeHive, he asked questions about what we had, what we needed, what we wanted, and what we saw as our future needs. \[sensitive content hidden\] seems to be on that same wagon and I am thrilled to have the support system for this product.

Cons

I can't really think of anything I would consider a con. I would have liked to know more going in, but our foundation's timeline did not allow -- we were coming up on our next scholarship cycle and there was no time to waste -- but having training modules is very helpful. I refer back to them and hope they keep coming.

Reason for choosing Submittable

The best fit -- I looked at who had education foundations as clients, worked with scholarships and grants similar to ours, I was impressed with the amount of control and advanced reporting we would be able to do, and I thought it would work well being updated each year as we restructure our scholarship process.

[Jotform](https://www.capterra.com/p/158456/JotForm-4-0/)[eForms Mobile](https://www.capterra.com/p/183886/eForms-Mobile/)

The last one we used was EForms and, as wonderful as the developer was, it did not work. At all -- no filtering candidates or matching, so we had to do hundreds manually, we were limited on assigning reviewers, no guarantee every application was seen by at least one reviewer, etc. The year prior to 2023 was wrought with issues and I think they ran out of time to rebuild for 2023 -- we were not involved on the back end and could not do anything in the system. 180° from what we can do in Zengine.

### "Positive Experience with WizeHive - Excellent training, support, and resources"

June 17, 2024

5.0

Working with WizeHive has been a quality experience that has made grant and program management much easier for our team. We are thrilled to be working together over the next few years on our current program and look forward to looking for other efforts we could incorporate WizeHive into in the future. Administrators, applicants, and reviewers all report positive experiences with using WizeHive.

Pros

WizeHive has proven to be a wonderful solution for our program. We are currently running a large multi-year grant funding competition and needed a system that could meet our needs for proposal collection, application review, reporting, and other elements of grant management. WizeHive has been a perfect fit. The training experience with \[sensitive content hidden\] was excellent. \[sensitive content hidden\] always answered questions thoroughly and quickly solved problems as we worked together to create our first fully-functioning application portal. During our application acceptance period, no applicants reported having any issues with the WizeHive system. Everything worked so smoothly! Reviewers have also had a smooth experience while reviewing applications. The support staff is also quick to response with helpful resources.

Cons

It would be nice if we could have the capacity to allow multiple files to be uploaded in one question in an application where relevant.

### "Wize Way to Manage: A Grant Management Game Changer"

June 5, 2024

5.0

Overall, I'm delighted with WizeHive and would highly recommend the NextZen platform to anyone seeking a reliable, user-friendly, and comprehensive grant management solution. By investing in this technology, we will elevate the experience for all stakeholders within our organization and ensure that our processes and tools reflect our grantee partnership objectives.

Pros

What I appreciate most was the intuitive dashboard menu, which will allow our organization to effortlessly track and manage our grants. The interface for admin staff, external reviewer, and grantees is easy to navigate. The robust reporting features offer valuable insights, enabling us to make data-driven decisions and optimize our grant management process. The customizable workflows have allowed us to tailor the system to our unique needs, which we believe will result in enhanced efficiency. Additionally, I am impressed by the exceptional customer support provided by the WizeHive team, who are always responsive and helpful as I've needed assistance during the onboarding process.

Cons

While I'm extremely pleased with our WizeHive subscription, we encountered some drawbacks during the onboarding process. Specifically, I discovered a few features mentioned in our initial sales call were not part of our subscription package and would require an additional fee, which was prohibitively expensive for our small organization. Also, some key functionalities that tipped the scales for us in favor of WizeHive over other grant management systems are not yet available but are expected to be added in future updates.

Reason for choosing Submittable

When selecting a new grant management system, alignment with our established organization goals was paramount. Given our average grantee is 70+ years old, we prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion to ensure the readability for those with vision impairments. DEI within the platform is crucial as we expand our grantmaking outreach to include Spanish and Vietnamese speaking applicants, who could apply in their native language, with seamless review capabilities for English-speaking reviewers. Furthermore, we needed to streamline administrative workflows to maintain our output with a lean staff. And perhaps most importantly, we sought a partnership with a company that shares our philanthropic values, ensuring a united vision for our grantmaking efforts.

Switched from

[Blackbaud Grantmaking](https://www.capterra.com/p/242266/Blackbaud-Grantmaking/)

Our grantees often struggled to navigate the platform, leading to a surge in technical support requests related to applications, grant agreements, and final reports which placed an additional burden on administrative staff. Our external reviewers occasionally faced difficulty using their designated portal, further highlighting the need for additional support resources. The system was prone to errors and lacked follow-through on promised updates that were announced during town hall meetings.

### "Great customer service and fast setup"

October 18, 2023

5.0

This product has significantly reduced the administrative time we spend on grantmaking. We have more than earned back the cost of the license in time saved.

Pros

We had a last-minute need for an online granting process and needed an affordable tool where we could get everything running quickly with minimal input from our end. Even though their development times are typically longer, they were willing to adapt to our timeline and still delivered the forms a week earlier! Throughout the entire process, their support team has been amazing--always available, always happy to help and incredibly fast to turn things around. We hardly had to do any of the development ourselves, despite this being a last-minute request. As a small team with limited spare capacity, this was a lifesaver in being able to keep to our grantmaking timeline.

Cons

While the functionalities are enough for most organizations' granting needs, there are a few customization options, such as greater flexibility with repeating questions, which we would have liked. However, the support team helped us find acceptable workarounds.

Reason for choosing Submittable

Wisehive was one of the less expensive options, and unlike the other options in the price tier, offered hands-on support to get our program up and running. Their sales team was also much more thorough in understanding our needs and were honest about what they could and couldn't deliver. Although we had a cheaper option, we decided to go with Wisehive because of the support we would receive and our positive interaction with the sales team.

### "The right tool for the jobs"

February 20, 2024

5.0

From the product itself to the prompt customer service, everything about Submittable has been very positive. The system functions as advertised and it has enabled our youth development program to administer what has historically been in-person events and activities into a digital format. That has saved time and travel expenses for our employees and volunteers.

Pros

I love the clean design, ease of use, and functionality. The projects and forms are easy to create, highly customizable, and user-friendly for clientele. The ease to which project assignments can be made and tracked is another great feature. We started using Submittable to help us manage a sizable photography contest, and have since been finding ways to migrate other activities/contests (like public speaking, leadership applications, and videography to name a few) into this platform.

Cons

I would like to see some type of organizational structure within forms, projects, and the team to help keep different groups or activities separated. Currently, those lists are becoming quite long and clutter up the pages. A folder system would be ideal that might include activity groups as well as a means to archive forms and projects. Perhaps to help de-clutter, I would like for other teams admins to only see the projects, forms, and reports they created. Team member A doesn't need to see everything that team member B has created. Unless they are a level 5, they only need to see their own work.

Reason for choosing Submittable

I considered many other products (can't remember the names of them). You are a US based company, so there is no lag in communication. The system had every function I needed.

It was a combination of customer service and functionality. Judgify is based in Singapore so there was a big lag in communication. Granted, Judgify is significantly cheaper, and honestly if it functioned like it should have, I would have stayed with them. Prior to that, we imbedded Google Forms and photos into a website and created our own judging platform. It was cumbersome and error-prone to say the least.

### "A solid management system for grant applications"

February 15, 2024

4.0

Overall we've been pleased with Submittable because of its features and capabilities, but the prices is intimidating. That being said, we've felt that it is comparable with other similar services out there.

Pros

Submittable's application forms are very customizable and they allow for a multi-step application process and submitting grant reports. We're able to create customized reports and export the data easily, although there is a bit of a learning curve to set up the reports. Collaboration is built-in, allowing reviewers and admins to leave notes for each other and see reviews. We also liked that that collaboration can be locked down so that applicants can either see or not see that feedback. The implementation team that worked with us was great and provided very valuable training as part of our implementation project.

Cons

We've found the email's generated by Submittable have formatting issues and are often blocked by anti-spam software, so there have been some deliverability issues and some problems with reading the system-generated emails. The development team is aware of the issue (for 2 years) but nothing seems to have been done about it. Documentation is limited, and they charge for support after your initial setup period. We end up having to pay for 10 extra user licenses for our grant reviewers beyond the 2 months those licenses are really used. This is because only 10 user licenses are available in our subscription tier, and you can only purchase extra licenses in block of 10 (not individually). So far, Submittable has worked with us on the pricing to be affordable but it would be nice to have the option of adding on temporary licenses for reviewers, or even not having to pay for that level of user since they are typically only needed for 1-2 months.

### "Great and easy to use, does a lot"

February 2, 2023

5.0

Great. Easy to use, user friendly. Good solutions for our company. Help desk gets back to us promptly, if we have questions.

Pros

It is easy to use and implement. User friendly for the applicant and for the administration.

Cons

There is no way to edit an email address for a recommender if the applicant put it in wrong, unless you open the whole application for editing. We don't run into this issue often, but it can create problems. But, the benefits outweigh the cons.

October 24, 2023

Terrific onboarding & development process. Really appreciated how easy they are to work with us for a customized solution to our needs.

Pros

We moved our paper application process for our scholarship and grant programs completely online. WizeHive has proven to be highly efficient in processing applications, communicating with applicants and reviewing submissions. Such a time-saving resource for our team!

Cons

### "More functionality and excellent support! "

December 9, 2020

4.0

For us, this software will literally replace a person. The time it will save us in data collection and processing alone is worth every penny. We are thrilled to have found a software that meets our specific needs and will help us be able to help more single mothers!

Pros

From the demo to go live the people at WizeHive have been great to work with! The implementation team has been fantastic to work with. They are knowledgeable, patient, attentive and have been willing to do the lion share of the work when building out forms and customizing rules. Any time we have ran into a roadblock, the implementation team worked to find a suitable solution or workaround They have also used their experience to be proactive about helping us avoid pitfalls of setting up software in ways that might be challenging down the road. When you are going into new software, you don't know what you don't know... but they took the time to understand and listen to what we were trying to accomplish and consulted with us on the best use of the software why some of our ideas may not have been the best long term! It was refreshing to work with a knowledgeable team who was invested in our success!

Cons

If I had to name a con, it would be some limitations with customizing the user interface. I would have liked to make the user experience a bit more friendly or modern. (fonts, layout, colors, etc) But in all my research into other software platforms it was a trade off, you could have a more sleek or custom user interface but not as much functionality. In the end functionality was more important to us which is why we choose WizeHive.

### "Efficient, customizable grant management tool"

December 10, 2025

5.0

My team uses Submittable to manage a grant/scholarship process. We receive approximately 200 applications and coordinate a review team of 12 people to award in the ballpark of $100,000 a year. Compared to other tools I've used, Submittable makes it easier and faster to create projects, improves our administrative workflow, and creates a better experience for applicants.

Pros

Submittable allows us to both accept submissions and integrate custom review and scoring and manage reviewers all in the same portal. I love the customization features and the user experience for applicants, reviewers, and administrators.

Cons

I wish there were a way to set a deadline for reference forms to be received. This isn't a major sore spot, but it would save some administrative headaches.

### "From Spreadsheets to a Streamlined Program!"

August 11, 2023

5.0

Prior to purchasing the WizeHIve software, our institution was using multiple layered spreadsheets to manage scholarship applicant intake and selection. Then, manually sending communications to applicants using Microsoft Outlook. Our ability to access data and generate reports was also limited as it also was a very manual process. Introducing the concept of a scholarship portal to our students has been a great experience. We are improved our efficiency internally but more importantly; we are providing a better user-experience for our students.

Pros

The ability our scholarship application portal with our student information system provides a more user-friendly experience for applicants. Additionally, it ensures the critical information used on the application to determine applicant eligibility is 100% accurate. The integration functionality and ability to customize the application fields using conditional logic has transformed our scholarship program entirely, helping us to be much more efficient with our selection processes.

Cons

The process for closing an application cycle, and starting a new one that essentially mirrors past years is very involved. However, the WizeHive support team was very helpful as we transitioned from our first cycle using the software into our second. The process will likely become more clear with each new cycle/academic year.

### "FIRST Washington Robotics Grant Management"

October 27, 2023

5.0

I think the ability to streamline and automate our grant using WizeHive made the process move faster, allowing us to get funding out to our applicants sooner! Having all the information that we needed for this grant housed in one place made is super easy and efficient for me to keep my 300 plus applications, that were in various stages of the grant process, organized!

Pros

The product was easy to use, and our implementation lead \[sensitive content hidden\] was amazing! He did a great job of making sure that the product was customized for our needs. He also did a great job of making sure that we were comfortable with using the software for not only managing our grant but creating or editing our custom forms and templates. Having the option to use different folders and the auto emails that were generated when an application moved to a new folder was super helpful in automating our grant process and keeping our applicants informed.

Cons

The biggest thing that we got negative feedback about was the inability to have multiple users access the same application. Having someone that is an admin user and could grant user access to another person would be helpful or if there were a way to allow multiple users to access the same application. We have a situation where there are sometimes multiple people involved in the application process and they were frustrated by the inability to all have access the application.

### "I love Submittable!"

September 14, 2022

5.0

As I learn more about the software and the tools you have, it really has made the process overall from launch of the scholarship season, to the close and then the information from the system is essential for marketing to potential future donors.

Pros

I am very used to having to learn new software, through out my positions in the last several years. The reason I love Submittable, not because it's easy for me, BUT BECAUSE it's easy for submitters and judges to use. If I had to review the how-to's prior to every season to a new set of judges, it would take so much time and energy. That only is worth the fees we pay!

Cons

I do wish the forms had a little more ability to make them a bit prettier to look at. The size of the fonts is either super small, or HUGE. It would be nice to make the page look a bit prettier and closer in line with our branding.

### "Simple to use - self explanatory"

August 31, 2023

5.0

My overall experience has been a good one. The best experience I have is when I can speak with a person at Wizehive for what are complicated questions that I have. It's hard to express your issues in a support ticket, because of that you don't always get the right answers and have to keep asking thru the support ticket. If you could speak with someone, they better understand what you're trying to do and your issues.

Pros

That the applicant can log in to their application and see what they did last year, they can also see where their application is in the process, emails are simple to send and you have control over the emails being sent

Cons

I wish that Wizehive had an 800 number - a number you can call and speak with someone. I don't like that I have to send an email stressing that I need to talk to someone. Speaking with a live person is so very helpful and it's the one thing that I feel Wizehive is lacking...in a big way

Reason for choosing Submittable

I was not working at the company when they chose Wizehive - it was already installed when I started.

### "Creative & Efficient Grant Management System"

August 29, 2023

5.0

Pros

The innate ability to create forms effortlessly is amplified by customization, resulting in a streamlined process. This fosters a unique data capture structure, enhancing efficiency in processing and operations.Customizable forms cater to diverse data collection needs, ensuring a seamless, tailored experience. This dynamic interaction doesn't compromise processing coherence; rather, it harmonizes customization with structured data handling, facilitating efficient downstream operations.

Consider enhancing integration with external documents, including the option for in-house signatures, thus reducing reliance on third-party applications.

### "Great versatile software "

July 23, 2023

5.0

We have used Submittable to collect forms for auditions and I like that the faculty and coaches are able to review and evaluate the student in the platform. We have also used it to collect event information.

Pros

I like that you can use this platform for any different reasons and you can create many different forms so that you can really customize them for the right purpose.

Cons

At the moment there is not anything I dislike.

Reason for choosing Submittable

Best option available

### "Ok, but glitches"

September 23, 2023

Ok, but see glitches above

Pros

Ease of use, very efficient, and very effective.

Cons

Not all functionalities are properly connected yet. (1) Citizen Philantropy Investments cannot be recommended to Funds, only nonprofits. This way, it is almost impossible to designate the investment for a specific purpose (for which I use Funds).(2) Allowing external contributions or donations (from non-employees) works theoretically, practically the donation button is deactivated on my external donation page.(3) No customer support during holiday/weekend, when it was really critical (this weekend!)

### "We LOVE WizeHive"

August 17, 2023

5.0

Fantastic!

Pros

The support team did an amazing job creating our platform. They were extremely helpful and always there to guide or answer questions. WizeHive is user friendly from the admin side all the way to the grant application review teams. The portal looks fantastic on a desktop, laptop, and phone. The attachments can be viewed from all the above devices. Super happy with WizeHive!

Cons

We still need to build our reports. Not a con, only thing that isn't perfect yet.

Reason for choosing Submittable

We liked our sales guys, he wasn't pushy and gave great customer service. The price was in our zone. We liked the look of the platform the best.

### "Grant Management is a breeze!"

July 16, 2023

5.0

Pros

We were nervous about starting this grant program because of the intensity of the management process. Submittable makes gathering, reviewing, and managing applicants and grantees easy!

Cons

I do wish there was a way to organize all of the information in Submittable (as is, I have many spreadsheets going simultaneously).

### "Manage applications & team workflows with Wizehive"

February 23, 2024

5.0

Pros

The best part about Wizehive was being able to create a custom workflow and experience for my team's diverse needs. Using Wizehive allowed us to put 3 different workflows, used by 3 different teams/roles all in one place. And the experience for the user is a lot easier than other systems for processing applications.

Cons

The only thing I didn't like was testing out the views for different roles within my workspace. It makes it hard to train other teams when their views look different than an admin view and I can't toggle back and forth but instead have to start playing with incognito windows, permissions, fake email addresses etc

### "In Your Submission Form I See You"

March 27, 2022

5.0

I am new to this platform and I have not yet known this that much. I have so much time to discover and explore more on this software in order for me to use it more productively towards my projects with clients and other personal uses.

Pros

I'm new to this platform when I made my multiple submissions of poems to the different online magazines worldwide. I never thought it would be like an automatic forms to be filled up and there is nothing to worry about doing it all over again since I'm not used to it. I'm glad that I can avail a free version on such and do the submissions clearly.

Cons

I don't have much anything to say about the lacking but I would like to commend that it must be all for free of use as much as I would want to. However, it is not possible then.
