### "An excellent tool for community grant and CSR program management"

August 25, 2025

4.0

Pros

The platform's adaptability is remarkable. We could quickly establish automated systems for evaluation and approvals and design unique forms for community funding applications. It is significantly simpler to track applications and report on the impact of financing because everything remains in one system.

Cons

Not much thus far. It took some getting used to the platform's many capabilities, but their help staff made it easy.

### "Submit.com has made management easy!"

June 13, 2020

4.0

submit.com has made management very much manageable and does the job that it is intended to do. Data analytics are very impressive and definitely helps with third-party integrations.

Pros

The workflows are quite easy and if we are stuck anywhere then the support team is quite friendly to help us with even the silliest doubt. The 'multi-tag' and 'auto-reject' reject feature is always on point and there have never been issues.

Cons

The smart form builder is slightly confusing to understand.

### "IGNITE Graduate Business Innovation Programme"

May 20, 2019

3.0

Our overall experience has been very positive. The platform streamlines our application processes and support is readily available by phone or email.

Pros

We run a number of start-up initiatives to support start-ups every year and we often have applicants progress through the workshops before applying for IGNITE, our full-time programme. Submit provides an effective platform to capture, track, share and assess applications across all our start-up initiatives.

Cons

I suspect that we are not taking full advantage of all the features available on the platform.

### "Grant Application Management Game Changer"

May 21, 2019

5.0

Submit.com's platform allowed High Fives to develop a professional application process that allows us to track the lifecycle of our grant recipients.

Pros

Submit.com's platform allowed us to streamline our grant process while allowing for better control and input from key Board members.

Cons

I can't think of a single thing I dislike about this platform.

Reason for choosing Submit.com

Submit.com is the most robust platform for the price. On top of that, their customer service is the best I have ever seen. Representative worked closely with me to ensure the smoothest possible transition for High Fives. She reflects great credit on her organization.

### "Excellent means of handling CSR and local grant schemes"

August 25, 2025

5.0

We have also visited the Submit.com to run our CSR initiatives and community funding programs. We have an insurance company that funds (with grants and donations) non-profit organizations, and we were looking to streamline this process with a system to manage the number of applications, reviews and approvals.

Pros

The platform is also impressive in terms of the upward flexibility. We would be able to customize forms used in community grant applications and establish automation in workflows/ reviews and approvals. All things remain within a single system making it much easier to trace applications and report on impact of funding.

Cons

Not much to report yet There are numerous options which made the initial installation slightly time-consuming but their support team has helped make it easy.

### "Streamlined and Powerful Platform"

August 25, 2025

5.0

Pros

I liked Submit.com's ease of use and intuitiveness, which make it simple to start up and maintain apps with little assistance. The software saves a great deal of time by streamlining operations with automated procedures and customisable forms. The consolidated dashboard, which streamlines tracking and assessing submissions, was another feature I liked.

Cons

The fact that Submit.com has so many options that it takes some time to completely utilize them is what I liked least about it. It takes some learning to become comfortable with everything because the platform is so extensive. But once you do, it turns into a strong and useful instrument.

### "Powerful Tool for Simplifying Community Funding Programs"

August 25, 2025

5.0

User-Friendly & Intuitive Interface. Very easy to get started as a user. The platform is incredibly easy to use with a great design. Everything is managed in one system. Efficiency saves time and resources.

Pros

Great tool for managing CSR activities and community grant programs. We were able to quickly design customized forms for community grant applications and implement automated workflows for reviews and approvals. Having everything centralized in one system makes it much easier to track applications and measure funding impact. The platform’s flexibility is impressive

Cons

Nothing major to note so far. The platform is feature-rich, so the initial setup required some learning, but their support team made the process straightforward.

August 29, 2025

5.0

Was very easy to use and understand, and very affordable. Recommended for everyone. We used Submit.com to help us with our community funding programs and corporate social responsibility. Submit.com helped us test the whole process.

Pros

The platform is really flexible. We could easily make custom forms for grant applications and set up automated workflows for review and approvals. It's all in one system, which makes it easier to track applications and report on funding impact.

Cons

The platform is packed with features, so it took some time to learn how to use it, but the support team was really helpful.

### "Fantastic data submission software."

September 30, 2018

5.0

I found the software very intuitive. I was up and running very quickly. I found the admin team management feature very useful for confidential business forms.

Pros

Ease of use plus ability to accept data and media in multiple formats.

Cons

That it wasn’t around when I started the business. It would have saved me a lot of time.

### "Grammerly is great."

May 23, 2020

5.0

I am a big fan of Grammarly business and recommend it to everyone who needs to write for business.

Pros

Grammarly business is a great software that's easy to use with great functionality in 2020. The software continues to improve each year.

Cons

I wish the software would auto correct a little less. The soft ware could use a little tweaking on this matter.

### "Superior staff!"

January 8, 2020

5.0

I reached out rather frantically the week before Christmas to Submit.com after Submittable couldn't come through for our needs. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] became the point man for the project I was pursuing, and though, finally and much to my shame, those above me elected to go with Submittable regardless, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] powered through a proposal/draft/demo site for our project, going well beyond the call of duty. He worked through the weekend before Christmas putting together the (striking and beautiful) site, and even set up a call with me for Monday, 23 December, to go over the plan. But only minutes before our scheduled talk, I received a call from my higher ups that we didn't need the program \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] had set up. I then spoke with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], apologizing for all the trouble I had put him through, and to my surprise and relief, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was incredibly gracious and understanding. I had to twist his arm to get the name of his boss out of him so that I might be able to write a letter in praise of him and all his work, his wonderful demeanor, his wherewithal, his commitment, and then, in the face of all his hard work proving moot, his grace and understanding. I promised him that one day I would find a way to work with Submit.com, and I will. Thank you for having in your employ such a fine man as \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. He has represented your firm very very very well. Congratulations!

Pros

The staff--particularly, one \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], who was a terrific representative of Submit.

Cons

I have nothing but good things to say about this product. See my letter below.

March 28, 2021

Submit is very useful for our institution. We have created several engaging schemes for students with the use of submit.com, without facing any stress. We majorly use it for most of the application forms for students.

Pros

Submit.com can easily be used for building request forms. I like the fact that it is well vast in handling several engagement programs for users. Likewise, it offers a great value for money.

Cons

It has absolutely performed up to par. There are no significant drawbacks.

Very satisfied. I found a tool that is easy to use due to its intuitive interface, super functional and that saves you a ton of time.

Pros

Everyone working with grants knows how things can get complicated and time-consuming. This easy-to-use tool and appealing interface will make your work even faster and more pleasurable.

Cons

Nothing really, everything works far beyond my expectations.

### "A lot of personalization, easy to set up"

January 10, 2021

5.0

I manage an art community, and I'm constantly asking questions to our members, at least once a week, being about introducing new products, inviting artists, new content, etc. Other platforms are effective, but I cannot encourage enough to try this software. Use the free trial and then decide, I think that is convenient in many ways (easy to use, team collaboration, etc)

Pros

It took less than expected to start using it, if you think that starting using a new software may be discouraging, this is not the case.

Cons

The pricing is still not convincing me, I'm willing to try it because the easy-to-use features are a must. It needs a longer trial period.

Pros

Using Submit.com made managing the applications for our awards so much easier.

The support team were great at getting back to us and helped us every step of the way!

Cons

If someone enters our competition twice, we must give them a referencing number manually.

Professional software with professional support. Great experience will use again.

Pros

Used Submit.com to run an awards competition. Set up was easy with the help of customer support and our applicants had no problems using it. Loved the fact it saved draft submissions for us to follow up on to encourage people to finish.

Cons

Was missing the ability to use emojis. Not a massive thing and we were told it’s coming soon in next release.

### "MAKES WORK JUST THAT EASIER!"

December 16, 2019

5.0

Overall, we're happy. I wish we would've found it sooner. Submit.com has a lot to offer, some of which we don't need or use at the moment. At the moment I don't see a reason why we'd stop using.

Pros

The ease of use. The purpose. The features. It makes things a lot easier when everything is right here for you. You can collect employees forms and signatures all in the same place. Helps eliminate paper load and helps keep you more organized. The customer support is by far the best. They offer training if needed which we found to be very helpful!

Cons

Not much I can think of. The only close to con I can think of is the time it took us to initially get set up with Submit.com, BUT being it was our first time using a new program/software that was kind of expected. Otherwise I don't have much to complain because we are pretty satisfied.

### "This is really good "

May 16, 2019

5.0

Have been involved in the management of grants (community & environmental) and awards (scholarships) in the engineering sector. Having created a shortlist we eventually decided to use submit.com and it was a great experience. Straight forward to set-up and made the entire process so simple compared to what was a cumbersome experience in previous years. Really great experience. Made the whole process enjoyable.

Pros

Quality tool. Support was exceptional. Business integration while helping us map the workflow/process improved efficiency & saved so much time. Great functionality and very affordable. Personally, I found it really good to learn how other organizations are managing their awards and grants. Really love the short summary option where we can choose what information to include in the summary...saves so much time for our panel of judges and evaluators.

Cons

Not able to preview submissions by Images or video without going into the full profile/submission.

A great product and great staff. Clearly an intelligent and conscientious bunch of people which made it easier to do business with them.

Pros

We used the platform to support our HR / recruitment activities. It's a fantastic looking and feature-rich interface which meant that the team bought in to using it right away and were happy to use it. The support from the submit.com team, both within the platform and through direct contact, also made it very easy to use.

Cons

It takes a little bit of time to set up initially but that's probably expected with this kind of platform.

### "Fantastic for Festivals"

May 7, 2019

5.0

Very positive support and very useful software - really improved the way we ran competitions in our festival.

Pros

Submit.com comes with fantastic customer support that enables you to get the best from the software - whether on the phone, online chat, or a shared screen, they really help you take control of the software. The user interface is very simple and allowed us to successfully run an online competition, which most of the entrants found easy and straightforward to use.

Cons

Understandably there is a lot to set up for the first time you use the software and you may not be aware of any shortcomings until it is in operation - with one hit at an annual festival that can be hard to predict.
