Pros

“The reviewer system is easy to navigate for our reviewers as well. ”
AS

Allison S.

Director of Undergraduate Research

“It has helped streamline many of our past processes, and I also think it's a huge help with the consistent training available and the Zendesk hub.”
MB

Michael B.

Business Systems Analyst

“The system could be a little more user friendly as far as navigation, but that may be somewhat attributable to our infrequent use of the platform.”
SO

Susan O.

Executive Assistant

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.”
BB

Barby B.

Communications

Cons

“I need o switch between other software and often the time CommunityForce kicks an Admin out is VERY short.”
