Marketing Manager

The intuitive interface and adaptable features make it easy for both novices and seasoned managers, ensuring a positive experience from setup to customization.

Director

Right from the setup to categories, payment integration, setting up of the applicant and judges portals - the whole experience is seamless for the admin, the applicants and the jury!

Project Manager

Running virtual events is definitely much more straightforward with a software like this!

Communications Manager

Everything is so intuitive: the set-up, the menus, the control panels.

Marketing Specialist

Evalato is very comprehensive and customisable, as well as very user-friendly.

Project manager

If you need the white-label option, there is an extra cost.

Also, I think it's the perfect tool for managing evaluation programs as it makes the submission and managing applications process so easy and intuitive.

It effectively combines that with being an amazing tool for managing awards, evaluation programs and community building.

It streamlined our application intake, reviewer assignments, and compliance tracking with customizable forms and intuitive dashboards, saving significant time during peak cycles.

Admin

Our advisory committee loves the review process - it guides them through the application and scoring section, side by side.

Program Manager - APAF Fellowships and Awards

I love that we can customize just about anything we want on our program pages and the platform is easy for our visitors to navigate.

Director of Communications

The staff always greet our team by name, they give us helpful tips and tricks to use while working in RQ, and it is evident they genuinely care about their product and the client/user experience!

Benefit Coordinator

I think this is more of a learning curve for me as I am new to the platform.

Management Assistant

The platform has a lot of intricate fields and dynamics while being very user friendly.

Associate Program Director

Customer support has also been very responsive and helpful whenever we've had questions or needed changes.

Chairman

Ease of use - it’s very intuitive for all involved- the sponsor, our committee members and our student applicants.

The platform is easy to navigate, the customer services is amazing

It’s easy to use, highly customizable, and has saved us substantial time and resources.

Sr. Director, IT

RQ used a structured implementation process to ensuring business requirements, timeline and budget expectations were met.

Executive Director

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

Director, Psychological Services

The platform is not intuitive and there is still not a usable database.

Some of the functionality (follow up) is not included in our initial set up but at an additional cost.

Senior Program Manager

RQ usually delivers are all scope of work and I have been pleased with the customer support and technical teams.

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.  

Assistant Director

System is user friendly and whenever I need assistance from the staff they are readily available.

Founder and President

I like that it's a product we can easily brand and is consistent with our look and feel. And that it is user friendly for both us and the applicants.
