Being able to assign specific categories to judges, score cards, and a robust submissions catalogue have shaved off a lot of time for all involved, and saved us days of manually faffing around in folders and spreadsheets. > > **Cons**: At the moment, score cards are limited to just numerical scoring. What would have made the judging process even easier for the panel would be the an open text box for comments. In general, score cards could do with a lot more components like "Yes/No" or "Listbox" segments, though I understand this is a relative new feature. > > Overall a very good experience. A friendly team for support too. ----- ### "A fantastic first year on the platform and we look forward to year two" — 4.0/5 > **Alasdair** | *3 July 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform made our judging incredibly easy and the user experience around the submissions, scoring and judging was great. The team at Zealous, especially \[sensitive content hidden\], were always there when we needed them to ask lots of questions and find the best way to build our Awards on the platform. The payments side of things with the Stripe integration made for easy payment and commerce. > > **Cons**: The platform is still new so they're building lots of areas and developing on the fly. Not necessarily a con, but I'm confident the platform will be greatly improved for the 2026 Awards. > > Overall we were really pleased with the experience. Our Awards in the GCC are still new, this was year 3, but we achieved record number of entries, and tripled our budget. The platform added a layer of professionalism to them for both the entries and judging. We're really excited by the team's willingness to listen and build the platform, with constant developments and more knowledge on our end we know next year will help us to grow more. ----- ### "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. 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. Wish the platform could integrate with company pages more, rather than the audience having to go to a separate website and create account. ----- ### "Amazing site would highly recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Victoria** | *24 July 2025* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The help I received in the back end of the site was so valuable. I would have struggled with a few things without the help > > **Cons**: To be honest I’m not very technical, I couldn’t even make a square space website but I found this to be a very easy site to work around. And when I did get stuck help was only ever a few hours away at best. > > Amazing experience, I never write reviews but this product was that good I felt I should. I would recommend them to anyone ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2053636/zealous?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2053636/zealous) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
