The system walks you through every step of what you need to run your custom award program. The layout is clean and organized, while simultaneously ensuring that the functionality of the platform is not dumbed down. You will find it is very sophisticated and able to be highly customized for your organization's needs. For our organization, we loved the ability to customize the site to use our brand's assets, without needing to bring in an outside designer or developer. Even better, the vast online guides and reference materials are awesome. They're a huge resource when you're onboarding Award Force for your organization. If you need any answers, they're just a minute away. > > **Cons**: I would like to see better sorting and better reporting. Our owner is a report fiend and sometimes we struggle with not being able to export exactly the reports we need for meetings and check ups. Overall not a huge problem, but something we would like to see addressed in the future. > > Our old system for managing online entries and giveaways was clunky and timeconsuming. We knew it was a weak area for our marketing efforts but were unsure of the right way to implement a solution. One of our teammembers found Award Force and we implemented it almost immediately. It's streamlined our efforts so much and allowed us to run giveaways much more efficiently\! ----- ### "Great all in one awards tool" — 4.0/5 > **Sienna** | *October 9, 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customization of both the nomination process and judging. Allows you to really tailor the questions and judging process to your specific needs. I like that you can create different juding rounds as well to help narrow down finalists and winners when there are a lot of entries. > > **Cons**: Some learning curve to navigate the tool. For example I wanted to change the name of a certain field but instead of just editing the title I had to edit how that field displayed in the system. Would like a little more cusomtization on data merges as well where you can merge the name of the cateogry into a question for example vs creating duplicates of the same question with conditions. Also the text areas use markdown formatting which take a bit more time. > > Overall a great tool with a lot of capability and customization. Could still use a few programming tweaks to just make it easier to use and a bit more intutive. ----- ### "Review for Award Force by Den Barrault" — 4.0/5 > **Den** | *January 7, 2017* | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have already detailed this > > **Cons**: I have already detailed this > > I enjoy using Award Force, and in general find the platform easy to use, and quite polished in the way it is presented. My users also support this opinion. For an administrator, I do find it frustrating that certain features are not present: - not having a record of notifications - not being able to copy anyone into notifications - not being able to contact collaborators in an application (only main applicant gets results) - not being able to use the fields in all areas of the application - not being able to do negative selections in the search windows - review flow is quite complicated to set up, and impossible to visualise in an easy way - would be nice to have a way of easily visualising which applications are where - setting up judging is a bit tricky too - it is hard to visualise easily if it has been set up correctly I would also like to get a regular update on what you have planned in terms of feature updates. Especially as my site is up for renewal soon. I have also previously sent some feature suggestions to the support team, it would be nice to see some of these implemented. Many thanks and best wishes Den ----- ### "Effective Plug and Play Award Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Rachel** | *December 12, 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ability to have the history of my award easily in one place and to be able to quicky pull status updates on my entries and voters. > > **Cons**: Knowing where to start can be difficult, though there are helpful help forms. > > Overall what stands out the most about Award Force is it's help desk and the ability to ask questions 24/7. ----- ### "Makes streamlining award programs easier" — 5.0/5 > **Charlotte** | *October 12, 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Award Force makes streamlining award programs much easier, from the submission, to managing the judges and communicating with users every step of the journey. The platform is really easily customisable in terms of design and user experience, and enables multi-faceted award programs with multiple categories, which would just not be possible without having the software. > > **Cons**: I would love to be able to have a more customisable landing page for the program, which would avoid me having to develop another page/destination, instead of having a lot of the information around the categories/judges, etc. behind a login. These are often managed by other teams and can add complexity in the project, or even deter some users from entering. > > Dealing with Award Force has always been pretty straightforward and positive. Everyone I have spoken to has been very helpful and supportive, and is a testament to a good company culture. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/103545/award-force?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/103545/award-force) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
