I have been using this platform for around 10 years and it just gets better each year. I love the simplicity of use and the incredible customer support. The online help is excellent but the team will always be there if you get stuck to either point you in the right direction or help. It does exactly what I need it to do. I think it is excellent.

Pros

I love the simplicity of use and the incredible customer support.

Cons

I like it and dont have any gripes. I use the basic package but admit I have not explored the other packages

Pros

This software is intuitive and easy to use, be it for the submitters, the administrators and especailly, the evaluators. We organize a multilingual conference and OA provides a platform where we can allow for submitters to send their proposals in the language of choice.

Cons

There are some limitations on what can be done from the branding or graphic aspect of the interface. Something that does not interfere with its true purpose: abstract management!

Reasons for choosing Oxford Abstracts

Ease of use, multi-lingual interface, and competitive price.

Pros

Comprehensive abstract management software that is reliable and has all the functionality to organise abstracts for the ACPGBI annual meetings

Cons

Selecting reviewers for an abstract and then have to re-select when sending them an email asking for marking. It it would be ideal to select the reviewers and then send the email notification at the same time.

The support contact was friendly, responsive, and anticipated our needs as an organization.

Pros

I dropped into the administration of this conference quite last minute, and was so relieved that this software was as user friendly as it is. Managing incoming abstracts, sorting them to reviewers, managing reviews, and making decisions was incredibly straightforward, saving the team both trouble and time.

Cons

I did not experience any limitations in the software, but I used it solely for abstract management and email distribution and did not use the full range of services that the software provides.
