Cons

“There are always tons of additional features for software that we don't end up needing but the features that are available don't quite fit our needs.”
DT

Danika T.

Event Specialist

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.”
MM

Maggie M.

Program Manager

“It is difficult to identify a time and this causes missing submissions sometimes.”
AK

Akif K.

Electrical-Electronics Engineer

“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.”
