This is helpful for generating outcomes summaries. > > **Cons**: I feel like some parts are counter-intuitive or not user-friendly. I would like to see improvements to the way that custom reports are pulled together. ----- ### "The Best Grants Management Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Rob** | *6 September 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: ProposalCentral is an intuitive and easy to use system, while still providing the funders with all the features they need to succeed. With monthly product deployments, the system is constantly changing to accommodate the most up to date technology and needs for grant funding agencies. The customer support is top notch and is available at the click of a button. The analytics available through the system allow for easy dashboarding and reporting on the most commonly asked questions, as well as allowing the user to dive deep into custom reporting if necessary, all while having the customer support backing. > > **Cons**: ProposalCentral does have monthly product releases and constantly are implementing better technologies and features. Sometimes this comes with a slight learning curve to learn the new features. > > ProposalCentral is a must have tool for all grant funding organizations. The platform streamlines the grant funding process and empowers your agency to pull data needed at the click of a button. Easily track ROI and all research data across the life cycle of a grant and beyond. ----- ### "The program is somewhat not intuitive and requires a lot of training and use to be proficient" — 3.0/5 > **Leah** | *28 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the functions offered through pC. What makes it different from other grant management software is that it also functions as a platform for applicants to search for grant opportunities and keep all their applications in one place. > > **Cons**: The actual interface is dated looking and finding certain functions is not very intuitive. As a new user, I found customer support was necessary frequently. > > One big benefit is having a platform to "advertise" our grant opportunity. The biggest benefit though would be having a GMS that is cloud based, making it accessible to all employees anywhere at anytime. ----- ### "Initially a little hard to navigate but after time very intuitive with the grants process." — 4.0/5 > **Karen** | *28 March 2018* | Research | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very flexible to collect data. We can create numerous reports to obtain data from the database. Very easy to use for critiques and meetings. Completely integrates with our AP program. > > **Cons**: The Report Builder is not a quick way to access information. A lot of manual manipulation is required for reports. > > We had several benefits including consistency in reporting, ability to see overdue reports, quick communication with awardees and integration with our AP systems. ----- ### "User friendly, great costumer service, makes review process easy" — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *28 March 2018* > > **Pros**: Once you go over the system a few times it's pretty self explanatory. It might just be easy because we're a small organization but the data is easy to compile. > > **Cons**: I'm not always clear about what I can change vs what the grantee has to change, sometimes a small/easy to miss detail can make a huge difference. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/82752/proposalcentral?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/82752/proposalcentral) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
