### "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.

### "Submittable makes things run smoothly "

February 4, 2026

5.0

Great! Submittable helps me do my job in a way I couldn't without it. From the implementation support to, to regular product updates, it just keeps getting easier to use.

Pros

It's super easy to use for my team as a funder and for our grant applicants. It has streamlined the review process that helps keep our funding running smoothly throughout the year.

Cons

I wish the advanced reporting were a little more user-friendly, but that is being updated regularly to support what we need as users.

### "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.

### "New Impressed User"

July 23, 2024

5.0

Pros

So far, our Implementation Manager has helped us solve all of the problem we have encountered and has taken our feedback seriously and passed it to the Dev team. Everyone is responsive and understanding and we feel like they really tried their best to make the product what we needed it to be to fit our program!

Cons

There is a lot of room for improvements and development, so we look forward to seeing that progress as we start our journey with WizeHive!

Reason for choosing Submittable

The price and implementation timeline fit our needs better.

### "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.

### "Solid user-friendly option"

December 3, 2025

5.0

Submittable was super easy to set up and they have great customer service. I especially like the visuals of the platform, as it makes it easier to keep projects organized. The 'reporting' option makes data collection and analysis easy and efficient.

Pros

It's really user-friendly and easy to set up new projects. It's not overly complicated and you can figure out how to use most tools on your own.

Cons

The messaging component can glitch, as I've sent messages to people who did not get them sent to their inbox, and vice versa. Since I communicate with applicants primarily through messages, it can be frustrating to find that messages were not delivered. However, this doesn't happen often.

### "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.

### "Powerful Database with Unlimited Functionality and Incredible Support"

November 19, 2020

5.0

The WizeHive Team is thoughtful, intentional, and focused on excellence in their product and their customer relationships. I know several team members by name and consistently receive personalized, immediate, and knowledgeable support. From the beginning, WizeHive provides a customized experience for every client, and the support and personal touch do not end after the contract is signed. Our team is excited about all of the time and systems we have saved by switching to WizeHive.

Pros

WizeHive replaced our applicant tracking system, time tracking software, onboarding app, CRM, survey administration app, contact management app, mail merge app, and countless spreadsheets, docs, and graphs stored in Drive and Dropbox. The software has incredible functionality, and the WizeHive Team functions as an extension of our team - responding promptly and supportively to every request, helping us learn how to use the system more effectively, and requesting feedback for how to improve their support!

Cons

WizeHive has a potential learning curve if you want to take full advantage of all of its potential. However, the Implementation Team works closely with every client to plan the implementation that aligns with your goals for not only usage but also management. My only complaint, which the Support Team has graciously heard and recorded, is that whitelisted/vanity email addresses and system addresses are not available. We solved this challenge by using Zapier to connect our email accounts and Rebrandly to create a web address that is branded, but if I could change one thing, this would be it.

Reason for choosing Submittable

WizeHive allowed us to address multiple workstreams in one coherent system. It also allows us to bulk process applicants and set up systems that are unique to our team. The WizeHive Sales Team really listened to our pain points, process, and vision before designing a workflow that was customized for us. Instead of opening 10 Chrome tabs a day to track different processes, we all open WizeHive and are ready to go!

### "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.

June 10, 2024

Smooth, positive, pricey but ultimately worth it.

Pros

Our team loves the ability to make each form and application its own. This platform has allowed us to expand greatly the number of applications we can process and it has made the review process much smoother.

Cons

Despite it being a great platform, we find it difficult to keep up with the expense. For what it provides and the way in which we use it, it's a very costly platform.

### "New to WizeHive but loving it so far."

June 13, 2024

5.0

Pros

This is our first grant management program, and I did a lot of research into options before going with WizeHive. The customer service has been phenomenal. WizeHive has a great system for onboarding and customizing the program for your specific needs. They are friendly and responsive. We will use WizeHive with our next applicant pool this fall, but so far it seems user friendly for our applicants and has lots of helpful features on the backend.

Cons

There are a few features and layouts on the admin side that aren't intuitive but I'm still learning.

### "HSF Applicant and Student Portal Review"

September 8, 2023

5.0

WizeHive was very easy to work with and helped us go from a manual, photocopy, spreadsheet approach into a fully integrated online system. This allowed us to have a greater reach to high school students who might want to apply to our program.

Pros

Our implementation lead was great. We challenged WizeHive with how we wanted to use our system for both applicants AND ongoing students - through their entire college experience. WizeHive rose to the challenge and provided us with creative solutions.

Cons

The visual reporting dashboard was complex and seemed to lack some functionality (getting data from two forms, for instance).

Reason for choosing Submittable

Provided a better long-term solution and was able to tailor to our unique needs.

### "It Changes The Way I Do Things"

November 15, 2023

5.0

Awesome. Very helpful, easy to use. Simple and straight forward interface. It saves a lot of my time and really help me organize my submissions, and the best of all, which I didn't expect to find, is the plethora of contests I didn't find anywhere else (or it will take me a lot of time to find).

Pros

I wish I found Submittable earlier. I used to look for writing competitions through google and other search engines. The problem is they are sometimes outdated, inaccurate and very limited search result. I also have tons of bookmarks to help me remember which competitions I sent them too. When I submit a lot, I lost count and all I did was just wait for emails that inform me about the results. I found Submittable when some of the contests required me to use Submittable. It became a delight because the interface is very use friendly and I started to explore more, and I was in for pleasant surprises. I like the way it organizes my contests, I no longer forget which and where I submit them to, and the great thing is I'm also able to track the feedbacks for those contests instead of rummaging through my emails about forgotten or non-existent results. But the best thing is I can find way more contests through Submittable, and filter them the way I want to, from entry fees to genres. It saves a lot of time and effort and there are tons of contests.

Cons

None so far. I haven't had chance to explore other functions like creating my forms, but from what I use Submittable for, everything is satisfactory. It's an apps that does what it promises and more.

### "Perfect for DIY Grant Management"

October 2, 2023

5.0

Overall, our team is very happy with Wizehive, and we would absolutely use Wizehive again and recommend the platform. I hope that the software team continues to make aesthetic and functional updates, but as it is the platform does 98% of what we need it to, very well.

Pros

Wizehive has all of the features a grant administrator needs to centralize everything from communication with grantees, to the application itself, to the review process, to the final decision-making. It's been incredibly helpful for managing a program with >100 applicants, and we can track every submission from beginning to end, all in one place. The data view in particular lets you filter and cut applicant data every which way, and all of the forms relevant to one applicant are linked to each other, so even that is centralized. During the implementation process, our point person was flexible, fast, and responsive, and lived up to what we expected from our salesperson. For its price, Wizehive was the only platform we looked at with such an in-depth level of implementation support, and for that it's definitely singular.

Cons

Because Wizehive comes with so much customization, it takes a while to get the hang of, so a team definitely needs a dedicated person to spend some time getting familiar with the platform. Options and consequences are not always intuitive, so you might change something without realizing that you are breaking something else, especially among the submission portal, forms, review process, and review portal. I also wish that the data view would let you batch-select applicants--with so many, it's fairly tiring to move them into different folders one-by-one. Finally, summarizing review information from a review form only lets you do a certain menu (averaging, summing, etc. scores), and I wish that could instead be a custom formula.

### "Great for managing multiple grant programs"

March 14, 2024

4.0

Pros

WizeHive's set-up and staff support is great-- they walk you through the steps and features of each part of the process so you understand what you can do and where and when and how.

Cons

We did not consider the reporting dashboard enough when setting up the application, so we had to redo some questions after the fact to get the right format to be able to report accurately and efficiently. This should be considered at every step along the way during the set-up process, and it felt like it was a last-minute thing to which we did not dedicate enough time. The other thing that was a disappointment is the fact that I was told that BILL could be integrated, but it turns out there is a pretty steep fee to do that, which no one seemed to know until months down the road into the process.

Reason for choosing Submittable

I liked the sales and support staff and the product seemed to meet the needs of all the complicated aspects of my grant program.

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.

Cons

### "The Best Choice For Our Growing Program"

September 21, 2023

5.0

It was such an easy, quick decision to make. We'd met with multiple other programs that didn't quite fit, but after speaking with both the American Indian College Fund and the Cobell Scholarship, we decided to reach out to WizeHive. From the initial meeting, we were very optimistic about the program.

Pros

The build process was very organized with clear deadlines. The trainings before starting the build created a great foundation and the project map/plan was so convenient to keep an eye on what was due and when. Our Implementation Lead, \[sensitive content hidden\], was very knowledgeable about the program and always had quick solutions for us when we had questions. Super responsive and understanding about reschedules when needed, as well.

Cons

Starting out, learning the administrative side of WizeHive can be a bit confusing. However, I know it's really only practice that can resolve this.

Reason for choosing Submittable

Price, features, WizeHive team seemed excited about working with us.

### "This interface is easy to learn and use, and when questions arise customer service is very helpful! "

August 18, 2017

4.0

WizeHive makes it possible to manage our grant program and the increasing number of proposals that we receive.

Pros

Customer service is very helpful and responsive. They're helpful in answering simple fix questions, as well as brainstorming on how their software can accommodate more complex requests. Very easy to build your own application form, as well as follow-up forms. The interface can be customized to fit your organization's branding. Online help articles are very helpful and easy to follow. Easy to create and customize reports. Easy to create a new workspace - its basically a copy, paste function. Overall - if we were to go through this process again, we would make the same decision to use WizeHive.

Cons

Applicants have to create new credentials every year in order to access their application so, they have separate logins for the year they are reporting in and the year they are applying for - that can get confusing. Yearly workspaces cannot communicate with one another so doing YTD comparisons can be challenging. There are some features, such as the calendar and cascading forms, within WizeHive that I wanted to utilize but were not sophisticated enough features to make it worthwhile. Sending an e-mail to users through the WizeHive app comes from the WizeHive domain and frequently goes to the spam folder. While you can direct replies to an internal e-mail, I would like for the e-mail to also appear as though it was sent from our domain.

Response from Submittable

August 25, 2017

Hannah - thank you very much for your thoughtful response and great feedback! We will follow up with you directly to discuss further as many of the items you noted have recently been addressed or are our on our near-term roadmap. Regarding the communication between yearly workspaces - this is a key priority for us and is on our near-term roadmap. Cascading forms is a core feature and we'd like to further discuss any issues you are experiencing to see if there is an immediate way to support/address your needs. For clients looking for more advanced calendar functionality, we have other options we can recommend. As for emails, we heard a similar concern from another client, investigated and made some changes to our email plugins that should significantly improve deliverability going forward. Thank you again!

The Jack and Jill Foundation runs about 9 different grant programs each year and these programs overlap with the prior year(s) programs. Using a Grant Management Platform is critical to our success and sanity. We've had much success with WizeHive Select and are excited about the functionality and feature gains for our Applicants, Reviewers, and Administrators using WizeHive Zengine.

Pros

Migrating from WizeHive Select to WizeHive Zengine resulted in a simpler user interface that shows our Applicants and Reviewers what they've completed, what's due, and when - giving us as Administrators control of the language that best resonates with our Applicants and Reviewers and addresses our specific pain points. For example: because we know that mail from the WizeHive Platform could land in spam filters, we add language to the interface at the HomePage instructing Applicants to Whitelist or add to their Contacts the Zengine mailer. The information we've assembled in the Zengine interface to assist and guide our Applicants through the process is always available to them when they login, bringing clarity to the process, and reducing the time spent on searching for this information in previous emails sent. Our Applicants will always know "whose on first" and what next.

Cons

In WizeHive Select I was lukewarm to the reality that our Applicants and Reviewers had to wait for a temporary password to be sent to them when they forgot their password. A change was made with WizeHive Zengine giving Applicants and Reviewers more control over changing their password. Very happy to see this in Zengine.

### "Submittable saves us time"

February 23, 2024

5.0

Our Institute is small and is not endowed. Thus the cost is a big issue. I believe we have a discount, but I don't know how much and that question on your survey didn't allow for the "I don't know" response. I am on the front-line and the applicants seem satisfied with the process.

Pros

I like the way Submittable allows for use of multiple programs.

Cons

The restriction on the number of reviewers we can have as 'active' at one time is a royal pain! I would prefer to use 3 reviewers per applicant on one project, but I cannot because the time overlaps with another project and we have separate reviewers for each.

Reason for choosing Submittable

A discount on our purchase price was offered. I don't know what or how or why.
