### "Amazing Customer Support"

January 18, 2024

5.0

It has been a great experience thus far. From working with the RQ team to design, deploy, and provide on-going support as needed, we have been pleased with the partnership and platform thus far.

Pros

RQ has the most supportive and professional staff of any company I've ever engaged with. They are customer-focused and solution-oriented. It has been wonderful collaborating with them.

Cons

There are still several features for grant management/tracking that RQ doesn't offer.

Reason for choosing RQ Platform

The level of professionalism and responsiveness of staff who have a customer service focus sold us on this platform.

### "Excellent product and service"

January 8, 2024

5.0

Pros

Over the past five years, I have worked with RQ Awards to establish a portal to manage eight fellowship programs, a mentoring portal, an awards portal, and an alumni directory. I highly recommend their software and I enjoy working with the RQ Team.

Cons

This is a difficult question as I have not had any major issues with RQ. I appreciate the fact that they take my comments seriously and incorporate changes to their products and services.

### "RQ Awards "

January 5, 2024

5.0

10 out of 10. They more than meet our expectations and have made our grant application process one that is user-friendly, manageable, efficient and well received.

Pros

There is so much that I like about RQ Awards that I cannot narrow it down to one answer. From the initial meeting with them I felt that they valued us as a client and had a sincere desire to help our organization. Everything was explained in full detail, the implementation process was wonderful (\[sensitive content hidden\] is the best), and the final grant platform was very user-friendly.

Cons

Nothing. They have been great to work with and have outstanding customer service that is always available and ready to help.

Reason for choosing RQ Platform

I felt the most comfortable with them after reviewing several other products. The pricing was also very fair and was an inclusive deal with no hidden fees or add-ons.

Ease of use, customer service responsiveness, user and admin experience

### "Great application management support"

October 25, 2021

5.0

When switching from SM Apply we examined a dozen options and had online meetings with many companies. Of those, RQ was consistently the most organized and professional, and that is why we went with them. We have not been disappointed with the actual product they then built for us and our specific needs.

Pros

The customer support from RQ, thus far, has been light years ahead of Survey Monkey Apply, which we used previously.

Cons

So far, all is well with this software...

Reason for choosing RQ Platform

See above.

### "Highly Recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

January 8, 2024

5.0

Pros

I liked that there were responsive to all my requests and questions. That they worked with me as if part of our team not just as a vendor. That our application is Sofia's Hope branded and that it is easy for the administrator, applicants and reviewers. The entire process is easy and once set up any change and update is handled quickly and easily.

Cons

Nothing...loved everything about them. Of course as a nonprofit if I could pay less I would but you also get what you pay for.
