## Reviews

### "Zealous effortlessly manages the Rugby Photographer of the Year awards" — 5.0/5

> **Simon** | *6 June 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Zealous platform has ease of use at its heart. We used it for submissions to a photographic awards. We were easily able to set up multiple categories under one entry mechanism and make it easy for not only our own use but for applicants to use. We also saw a massive uptake in entries from our previous awards. We have to attribute that to the Zealous platform and the clear steps to making a successful submission.
> 
> **Cons**: No cons to using Zealous. It did exactly what we wanted it to.
> 
> We had a very positive experience with Zealous. Apart from the platform just working and doing what we wanted it to do without any issues, the real bonus was the real time customer service. And not bot chat, but speaking to an actual person that had all of the answers and actioned them there and then. For me that was the real bonus to Zealous.

### "Great  platform" — 5.0/5

> **Lisa** | *3 May 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The platform itself is great, everything is in one place, easy to navigate and manage. However, for me, the customer service is what has really stood out. We had an unusual situation where I needed to take over the management of our account, and the team were amazing\! They helped get me set up, hopped on calls to talk me through everything, were just on the end of the phone or an email away for any query I had and regularly checked in to make sure I understood everything. Really impressed\!
> 
> **Cons**: We had a couple of teething issues, as this is our first time using Zealous. I don't know if these are things we would have been able to do or if we'd need new functionality:A couple of our questions couldn't be formatted by the person entering the category, so they just appeared as one text block, rather than separated with line breaks.As this was a multi-stage entry process, the entrants didn't get an email notification when completing their finalist submissions.
> 
> Really pleased\! The platform is great and the customer service is amazing\! \[sensitive content hidden\] in particular were so helpful and friendly\!

### "Portfolio" — 4.0/5

> **Sara** | *7 July 2022* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Having the quick response and zoom calls with the team, was really valuable in enabling the correct set up for the submission forms.
> 
> **Cons**: Exporting of data, had a few issues with mixing of information of data sheets. &#10;Would be helpful to export the final round of data as a package.
> 
> Was really helpful to have the support online via email or zoom. &#10;Wish the platform could integrate with company pages more, rather than the audience having to go to a separate website and create account.

### "Excellent submission portal and competition judging platform" — 5.0/5

> **Imogen** | *25 February 2021* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the best features of Zealous is the way that submissions are presented alongside their captions and the application form. When judging the competition, being able to easily click between views, selecting scores, and viewing scores in order, was incredibly useful. The automated messaging and rounds systems also saved us hours of administrative work and enabled us to focus our energies on the submission selections. But perhaps the biggest ‘pro’ of working with Zealous is the support that the team provides. Our internal team is not particularly tech-savvy and we had a lot of questions at the beginning, but no matter how many emails we sent, our account manager and the support team were quick to respond, friendly and just generally a pleasure to work with.
> 
> **Cons**: We didn’t encounter any problems using the software, but it would be nice in the future to see more flexible scoring options and the ability to leave notes or feedback on submissions. But with all the updates Zealous offers, I’m sure it won’t be long until such features are available.
> 
> Hosting our annual photography competition on Zealous was a revelation. The platform is incredibly easy to use at every stage of the process. Setting up the competition ‘opportunity’ was done in a matter of minutes even though we added a series of extra categories to customise the application form, and as submissions rolled in we were able to keep an eye on what we were receiving in realtime. Over the months we ran the call-out we received over 1,000 individual images, a notable increase from our previous competitions, in part due to the brilliant marketing from the Zealous team themselves. We had a complex judging process for the competition involving several rounds with different external judges, but on Zealous the organisation and management of this was relatively easy. All of the judges who took part in the process praised the platform for its sleek design, easy navigation and overall ease.  We will definitely use Zealous again in the future and encourage anyone planning a competition or looking to collect submissions to try Zealous too\!

### "A great product, working hard to become an even better one." — 4.0/5

> **Rose** | *8 August 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Zealous customer service is second to none\! \[sensitive content hidden\] has been our account manager for two years running and consistently goes above and beyond to support us. And when \[sensitive content hidden\] is unavailable, the rest of the team steps in as well. The platform is constantly evolving, and we were excited to see so many brilliant developments across the 12 months between using the platform for our Awards. The back-end is really simple to use and most sections have great personalisation options. And the price is really great\!
> 
> **Cons**: We discovered some issues with the accessibility of the platform, specifically for entrants using screen readers. However, we know that Zealous are taking the issue seriously and working to implement changes to improve this. We'd love p be able to personalise the automated emails further (something else I think they are working towards).  Finally, because we have some public-voted categories and some Judged, we have to set up lots of individual opportunities so it would be great to have a dashboard that would show the progress of each opportunity in one place - rather than having to swap between each one when we wanted to check entry numbers etc.
> 
> We love working with the Zealous team and admire their commitment to making the platform work best for their customers.
