10 reviewers had the following to say about Electronic Form Solutions's features:
We have migrated from a manual grants management system to this software, and we have been really impressed by the results so far.
Pros
The cost is fantastic for the capabilities of the product, and the customer service is amazing- the team respond within hours and are always available to jump on a call. When I've had any queries, they've been answered on the same day, and always with a 'nothing is too much trouble' attitude. This is greatly appreciated as a small team.
Cons
So far we haven't encountered any problems to report on, as everything we've asked for has been done.

During the months that we used the scholarship program, we had changes to staff and scholarship platform management which resulted in bumpy planning process, without the support of eforms it might have been a big mess.
Pros
I like that virtually every area of the software was customizable to our needs.
Cons
I wish the software had more self-serve functionality in the set-up stages. Inputting the copy on my own would have been a time saver for us and eforms.

Pros
Our foundation offers approximately 160 scholarships each year. We have around 100 funds that generate the scholarships. Instead of students completing multiple applications (and deciding which ones they qualify for) our software combines all of the applications into one. Students focus on completing one application and the scholarship system filters qualified applications into the appropriate reviews. Our reviewers only see qualified applications. And our donors are pleased with more quality applications.
Cons
The application is very customizable. This is a great feature.

We appreciate how easy it is to use with our volunteer committees.
Pros
Our grant and scholarship process follows a multi-step approval and I love how easy it is to setup with EFormSolutions!
Cons
I think the interface could be more user-friendly for the applicants, but it's not a matter of functionality - it's more of a "look and feel" critique.

Very very good experience so far.
Pros
The support is fantastic and implementation was very smooth.
Cons
No major issues...only item that could perhaps be improved is the back end reporting and access to full information and being able to see an entire application in PDF (including attachments)

The support staff was very responsive and able to incorporate all of our suggestions and requests - including providing a bilingual (English/French) option for us. Any issues we had were dealt with professionally and efficiently.
Pros
This software will make it easy to blind the applications for the review committee.
Cons
Sometimes, the automatic emails that are sent out to obtain references had difficulty reaching the target.

Using this platform for my teacher grants and scholarship application process allows me to keep everything online and be free of paper.
Pros
I have received excellent customer service while using this product. I always receive a quick response and I am able to move forward no matter what comes up. It is a team effort and I feel like the team at eformsolutions is an extension of my staff. I also like how innovations are always being planned to improve the software and meet the needs of customers.
Cons
In one case, a change I needed in a feature was not available when I launched the application cycle, but it was minor.
