## Reviews

### "Best customer support" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *May 5, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The customer support was second to none. Our project manager helped set up our form as well as the reports and review form. We were able to see the applicants who met the criteria easily and then make our selection.
> 
> **Cons**: It took a little more training for me but I'm not the most tech savvy person. Once I became familiar with everything, it was quite easy to manage.
> 
> It is so much easier to have applications submitted online.  We used a google form previously and had to manually download the information and photocopy the applications for the volunteers making selections for our scholarship.

### "London Arts Council - CAIP Platform Review" — 4.0/5

> **Michelle** | *February 20, 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Responsive and friendly customer support. Also, having everything all in one place when it comes time for assessors to review the applications is a big improvement from the platform we were working with before.
> 
> **Cons**: There are a few limitations that are somewhat of an inconvenience for us. For example, applicants only being able to see all of their previously submitted applications in the portal or none. We would like applicants to be able to access their last submitted application (from the previous year) but not provide access to applications beyond that. The reason is that we have many applicants reaching out for attachments that were submitted in their applications and it would be much easier for us if they could access it themselves.
> 
> I really appreciated working with \[sensitive content hidden\]. She was responsive, thoughtful, and consistently able to turn around projects on very short notice, which made a big difference for us. Given the tight timelines many grant applications require, it would be helpful to include a final quality check on drafts (e.g., spelling errors not in the client’s original text or duplicate questions) to help minimize unnecessary back-and-forth. That added layer of review would further strengthen the overall value of the service.

### "Amazing Customer Service\!" — 5.0/5

> **Abby** | *June 23, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use. Extremely supportive customer support. Both the reviewer and the applicant are able to access their information easily without watching a tutorial. It is extremely intuitive.
> 
> **Cons**: Only issue is not even with RQ itself, but the AMS system we use not being smart enough to connect with outside vendors as intuitively. Despite this, the RQ team was able to find alternatives to the issue.
> 
> From the moment I met with the team at RQ I felt like it was the right place for our organization. Not only did they work with us on our budget, but they provided great tips for optimizing our scholarship and annual awards process. Once again, the customer service is unmatched. I had used previous platforms where you only talk to a chat bot and couldn't ever meet with someone face to face but this is not the case with RQ\!

### "Foundation Scholarship Council" — 4.0/5

> **Xiong** | *February 3, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pretty user friendly. Here's what I like about the RQ Platform: Easy to find submissions, adding reviewers and sending out emails to winners. The Program Dashboard helps with retrieving quick numbers, if need be, Submission tab helps with finding applications easily and assigning and removing reviewers is a breeze.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't seem to find a way to assign applications evenly to reviewers, but I'm glad that there is my contact Sanket Parab who can help me out with that.
> 
> Overall, I like the RQ Platform. Again, it is pretty user friendly once you get used to it. The support library is helpful majority of the time.

### "Efficient Fellowship amd Mentorship Management" — 5.0/5

> **Brian** | *February 3, 2026* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: RQ Platform excels at streamlining fellowship and mentorship program management, making it ideal for research coordinators like those at KEMRI. I appreciated most its customizable forms with conditional logic and e-reference capabilities, which perfectly handled our complex application workflows for health research fellowships
> 
> **Cons**: The platform has not yet adopted AI to screen applications. This is disadvantageous for numerous applications.
> 
> My overall experience with RQ Platform has been highly positive, transforming how we manage fellowship and mentorship programs at KEMRI. It streamlined our application intake, reviewer assignments, and compliance tracking with customizable forms and intuitive dashboards, saving significant time during peak cycles.
