August 2025* | Non-Profit-Organisation Management | Empfehlungsbewertung: 10.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: I've truly enjoyed not only the product that OpenWater provides to us, but the ease it presents to our members. > > **Nachteile**: It's expensive, but the value provides to our internal and external audiences continue to transcend the cost. ----- ### "Organizing a conference? OpenWater is your answer\!" — 4.0/5 > **Luis** | *15. April 2026* | Non-Profit-Organisation Management | Empfehlungsbewertung: 9.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: There are several elements I like about OpenWater. First of all, the judging process. We have over 80 experts reviewing the more than 1800 proposals we receive. You can divide the experts by categories, which is helpful. You can also decide the number of proposals you assign to each judge. The evaluation form for judges to use is easy to build also. Even though we don't use it for scholarship management, we use it for a conference focused on human rights and technology. This means that you can use OpenWater for any conference that has a Call for Proposals process. It really does fit your needs. As for the value for money, I believe that OpenWater is great. It doesnt have limits per applicants and you can decide the number of programs you can use. This means it is flexible and allows you confront challenges despite initial budget calculations. For example, you dont have to worry about ever receiving too many proposals. Ease of use is also guaranteed thanks to its incredible library of resources. This also means that it fosters your learning curve because of the resources but also because of the great customer support they provide. > > **Nachteile**: If OpenWater could improve an aspect, it would be their dashboard. It tends to be difficult to capture an overview of where you stand regarding number of submissions, complete, incomplete, and other information you can find useful. Nevertheless, their reports feature is great. Whether you want the general raw data or the custom reports with pre-selected filters. Their report feature eventually lets you build your own dashboard when exporting it to google sheets or excel. You just have to download a report and use your formula skills. > > I have been using OpenWater for more than 5 years and I always recommend it when I have a chance. During these 5 years, I have never felt it has under performed, even when our program keeps growing. Its vast arsenal of tools also lets you enhance your program each year or build-in new features. I like this because open water can support you in doing your job better. I also want to highlight their customer support. It is super reliable. They are always there when you need them. ----- ### "Excellent Support, But Needs Some UI Improvements" — 3.0/5 > **Jenna** | *29. Oktober 2025* | Non-Profit-Organisation Management | Empfehlungsbewertung: 6.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: OpenWater has great customer service and quick response times. This is a huge benefit to us as when there are bugs or we need help with something quickly, they are right on it\! > > **Nachteile**: We've experienced several "bugs" (more than we think is acceptable) as well as other not so great standard features that have affected our own processes as well as our applicants'/reviewers' experiences. (For example, in the review form, when going to the second page, it does not take the user to the top of the form, it starts them in the middle. We've been told that this is just the way it is... But we keep getting complaints about it because it makes our reviewers' jobs harder.) This is just one example of a standard feature that we are not happy with. The amount of bugs we have experienced has also been frustrating. The overall look and feel / user experience of the software could also be improved. (Just looks outdated and is not always very user friendly). I know you are working on updating this, so we are hopeful it will improve soon. Also, this is probably our biggest issue, but only one person can own and fill out a form— others can't log in to complete their own sections. We wish it were possible for multiple people to enter their individual information into a shared form, with everything connecting to the same place. I know you said you were working on adding this too, so we are holding out hope\! > > Overall it has been mixed. The limitations and bugs have been a bit frustrating, but their customer service is fantastic and it seems they are willing to fix things. I know that they are also currently working on a lot of updates so we are feeling hopeful that these will happen soon and improve our overall experience\! ----- ### "Huge Timesaver\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verifizierter Rezensent** | *28. Oktober 2025* | Finanzdienstleistungen | Empfehlungsbewertung: 8.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: OpenWater has been a huge timesaver for our team\! We used to have manual spreadsheets and scanning of documents, and now everything is in one place\! Another pro is the ease of use for judges\! Judges are now able to enter all of their scores and we can use OpenWater to calculate and weight things as needed versus having to do all of this manually before\! > > **Nachteile**: One of the cons of OpenWater is the UI. There have been several times where my team has needed to set something up and it isn't in a place that we would think it would be in. Thankfully their team is quick to respond when we have questions\! Another downfall has been the number of programs and what is considered "active" versus "Inactive". I'd love to be able to work on a future program without it being "active" and counting against our program numbers, but find myself having to activate and deactivate programs to make quick changes that I want to remember for the following year, but needing to keep the other one as our active one to continue collecting information from winners, etc. > > Our overall experience with OpenWater has been great. They're very responsive to questions and helping get things figured out quickly. ----- ### "OpenWater is a great application platform\!" — 5.0/5 > **Careesa** | *19. August 2025* | Bildungsmanagement | Empfehlungsbewertung: 10.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: OpenWater is user-friendly and easy to use. The applicants have no issues submitting applications. Also, the judging process is easy to use, and whenever we have questions the support team is easy to access and quick to respond via chat. > > **Nachteile**: The only thing I wish OpenWater would have done better would be to edit the home webpage for the applications. It would be nice to be able to customize the homepage more. ----- Seite: 1 / 4\ Weiter: [Nächste Seite](https://www.capterra.com.de/software/140294/openwater-awards?page=2) ## Links - [Auf Capterra anzeigen](https://www.capterra.com.de/software/140294/openwater-awards) ## Diese Seite ist in den folgenden Sprachen verfügbar | Sprache | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Strukturierte Daten
