Judgify

Pros: Free platform to issue awards submissions that has decent level of customization

Cons: Site looks outdated on the back-end and is cumbersome to navigate and set-up; reading through all submissions is also not ideal

Overall: Too costly for the paid version and the free version has some limitations if you're looking to customize an awards application

Pros: The Reporting functions as well as the customization features, the drop down boxes and its important for my client to be able to select more option in certain questions/criteria.

Cons: its pretty hard for Self Service Pro Package, I would recommend the managed services package so that you have assistance.

Overall: Satisfactory and Value for Money.

Pros: When it really got tricky and frustrating, the support team was very responsive. Even taking the time to restore data. Much appreciated!

Cons: The UX experience is not great. For example, if you want to print submissions with a particular filter, it resets each time. Also, you really need to understand the forms and functionality or you could get unstuck easily. For example, you need to check all form settings thoroughly. Otherwise, it could have downstream effects in Judging rounds.

Overall: Good, but need to think more about submission form settings to optimise reporting and export functions

Pros: The software is great for award management and the admin console is clear when it comes to audit how all is going , a lot of option and edits are available.

Cons: the software gets a bit slow because of a lot of information needed to be included, submission forms takes time to load , needed some time to edit any wrong info after proof checking each award and categorization, white label version is not as precise judgify appears in more than one aspect.

Overall: the overall experience is great , address our needs and what we wanted in a quick time.

Pros: This is the first time I have used a judging platform so hard to compare but I found this incredibly easy to use and simple for both entrants and judges.

Worked perfectly for our event and incredibly pleased with the overall service.

Cons: A couple of functions when switching back and forward on entries that made it more difficult. So you could sort your entries in alphabetical order for example but once you click into and entry then go back it resets to the original order.

Overall: My overall experience was excellent. I honestly haven't had better customer service from a company before. From my very first setup I had regular calls to walk me through problems they were excellent. The team met my deadlines and all through the process responded to my many queries within 60 minutes or quicker to have them resolved.

Pros: The software allows you to customize you entry forms and maintain the data online allowing for easy sharing and access.

Cons: The lack of immediate customer support can be frustrating. Given the time difference between Oregon and the customer support of Judgify, it takes until to the next day to get responses.

Overall: Online storage of files and submission.

Pros: How it organized the process for me and made it easy for names to be submitted. I also like how it was easy to send all the information to the judges. That was a huge benefit and that the software was very affordable.

Cons: We had issues with people being able to submit more then 1 picture. Also, if one person was nominating multiple people it would not let them enter a new nominee name.
