Device Magic has been a game changer
Device Magic has been great. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was the one helping us through implementation and it honestly would not have been as great of an experience without him. He is a rockstar!
PROSDevice Magic has streamlined our inspections and allow us to get our reports to our customers quickly with minimal back office administrative work.
CONSI would love to be able to fill out forms that our technicians missed or need to re-submit from the back office instead of requiring a new user for this.
Reasons for switching to Device Magic
MobileEyes was limiting our ability to scale and did not give us the opportunity to manage deficiencies like Device Magic.

Very Pleased with Device Magic!
Device Magic has allowed us to implement a custom built in-house inventory management system, greatly enhancing our data on product flows, and saving us money and allowing greater flexibility than using a packaged software.
PROSThe flexiblity DeviceMagic provides in designing forms as well as "exporting" submissions to various other platforms is of great help to our Company!
CONSAn ability to access forms via web or on a laptop would be helpful.
Reason for choosing Device Magic
Great flexibility with Data Sources for lookup fields, and with exporting to other platforms.
Vendor Response
Hi Jason, Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm delighted to hear how Device Magic's flexibility has allowed your team to tailor the product to your unique business needs. We look forward to helping you continue that enhanced workflow momentum! Regarding form access via the web, it looks like your current plan supports that feature. I'm having our customer success manager reach out to you shortly to chat more about how to accomplish this from your end. Best, Miranda Cheatham, Marketing Program Manager

Device Magic is a data capture marvel, extremely well designed with the real life process in mind.
We had some critical needs, tested several data capture apps all of them have good form creation features and data types. Same as Device Magic has all that basic requirements. What sets apart the Device Magic from the rest. Are the automation after the data collection which removes the need of 1 or 2 workers in the office. Plus the field collection process is really fast, including the great geostamp and timestamp features under the radar. The barcode reader is extremely accurate and super fast. We were amazed by its speed. But the automation process was the critical decision breaker. From creating a pdf, to storing in database to sending emails, all automatically.

Replaces Paper in any Industry
My clients in the food industry are finding it first rate for keeping records which are always complete, almost always accurate, and don't use any paper. The more I use it the more I like it.
PROSEasy to use. Easy to train users. Versatile. Excellent traceability of entries.
CONSSome of the field options require an in-depth knowledge of how they work - the on-line guidance is often not brilliant. This is a pity, because when you master them you realise what you have been missing.
Reason for choosing Device Magic
I judged Device Magic Mobile Forms was able to fulfil my needs and that it appeared to be going forwards rather than stagnating.

We also appreciate your feedback around our online support documentation for field options. We want them to be of use to you and other customers looking to customize and automate their processes even further, so we'll take this as an opportunity to revisit and clarify some of our existing how-to guides.

Excellent for Offline Data Collection
Our field service representatives have been able to use this within a variety of places. The offline data collection capabilities are very important in areas where wifi or cell coverage is limited. This includes within buildings, basements, and rural areas.
PROSThe offline data collection capabilities, and the variety of integrations available.
CONSSome of the integrations are limited. It is a bit more difficult to use 'live' data as a source within the forms.
Reason for choosing Device Magic
No other products existed with offline support.

Hello, Thank you for your specific, invaluable feedback about our Live Resource options. Our developers follow the lead of your needs and allow these to pave the roadmap for future features, so this is good for us to know.

One program replacing potentially many apps
Creating simple forms is so simple, anyone can do the basics. Because it is so customizable, we use it for all sorts of reporting. Its versatility is the key to this app.
CONSGoogle "Live" resources. In the ~2 years we have been using this feature they have never consistently updated. At its best it took almost a full day to see the changes and most of the time I cannot even force a sync. Customer service has tried helping multiple times. I do not like that you cannot edit something after its been sent (and it save in the system). I wish we could fill out forms on the computer.

The facility to obtain data daily in your hands.
PROSI really like the fact that the role of administrator is very easy to operate and edit, from the forms and catalogs that are added to the selection components.
CONSI do not like that it does not support different languages, only English, and that is very limiting for users who do not master it. And I do not like at all that it is not possible to edit the data once it was sent to the server. I think that for the price that is being paid annually, the application should have that option.

Needs More Enhancements
Very good just want more because they are that good. Great product and great programming of it.
PROSEasy to use and setup. It opened the doors to fast and easy data collection from workers in the field that only use a tablet or phone for their jobs. Help adoption rate of other software.
CONSNot fully developed with Salesforce. Multi select list do not work with Salesforce. Objects that have a one-to-many relationship (i.e. Subforms/Repeat Group do not work with sales force. For example I create a new account and have a Subform/Repeat Groups for contacts. Because it's only a one direction connection. The related data or sub data will not be created or connected to their parent.
Reason for choosing Device Magic
Our Salesforce mobile application wasn't working as simplistic as we needed it for users that are not technically savvy.

Transformed our business, helped us create our own field app
I love the user interface for creating our own forms. We've created an incredibly complex form, where only certain sections even show based on the answers to previous questions. The interface on the field collection time is great too, and keeps getting better.
CONSWe would like the ability to add multiple images at the same time, instead of one at a time. We have to go outside the app to the google drive app to do this. They tell me it's on their roadmap however. Also the user interface for dispatching app is functional, but difficult to use versus the form building tools. Presumably improving the is on the road map as well.
Vendor Response
Hi there, We're so glad to hear that our form builder is working great for you. Yes, we are in the early stages of creating a multiple image question type and updating our interface throughout the dashboard.

Easy to Use, Mostly Easy to Configure!
DMMFs have been a bit of a godsend - we've been able to use them with multiple platforms and the product that DFFM has produced is always a usable, easily queried data set. Our drivers have substantially improved quality of service due to no longer having to use paper copies except in extenuating circumstances and our office and administration staff are much happier about being able to simply receive reports from drivers by E-Mail instead of having to wait for them to actually return from the road. It definitely allows us to quickly address customer needs far more efficiently than previous methods.
PROSSetting up users and rolling it out to mobile devices is a snap. Once the forms are set up, actually getting users up and running is a job that takes barely minutes - and while that doesn't sound like a big deal, when you're in an industry where phones get damaged or lost or where there's any turn over or new hiring, the ability to get a user up and running in literal minutes is phenomenal. (It takes more time to set up a user's E-Mail than it does to get them on Device Magic!)
CONSSome features aren't as intuitive as I wish they were - which is weird, considering how much of the software *is* intuitive.
Vendor Response
Michael, Thank you for taking the time to share how positive your experience has been with Device Magic! We're delighted to hear how quickly you've been able to get your users up and running as well as implement your forms.

Timing Saving at its best
Awesome. It makes filling in checklists a breeze.
PROSWe fill in a lot of information for checking ratings of vehicles in excel and then send the information to device magic so that we don't run the risk of making mistakes because we are doing the same thing over and over. I can also get my clients to sign up for a free account and add me as the email recipient so the data always comes in the same format.
CONSThe vba content in the help is very limited so for someone like myself who is self taught it can be a challenge.

Great Software for Capturing Remote Data

Device Magic- The Highly Customized, Organized Time Saver
We use to take 1 hour in the field and 4-5 hours in the office for a single submission. Then once the project is approved it is another 30 minutes to an hour of time to prepare a project control document. With the implementation of this, I was able to get 3 simple submissions out in 2.5 total hours of office time-which includes the completed project control document already. While saving time, this software creates a streamlined form so no matter who it comes from, it is formatted exactly the same for a more quality output and a more professional appearance. Every piece of information will go where it needs to be without timely double checking. Our field crews have more information then we have ever been able to supply them with- while saving so much time! I have worked with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] who have been incredibly helpful! These two are a winning team who seem eager to push the software as far as it can go with me! I send them lists of changes via email, we have a meeting to discuss any items that were unclear and I receive a new sandbox form to play with with the new changes shortly. This software is helping our business to grow and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for us!
PROSThe biggest pro is not having to type anything more than once. It really cuts all the duplication of effort down to none. Just get the piece of information and input it in the app once and it will go on all the forms that need that information. Our output is 20+ pages with repeat groups, LOADS of conditional logic, signatures, dates, picture input, reference photo integrations and more.
CONSI would like to be able to re-order items / groups on my own. I am unable to as to not "break" the coding and cause things to not link correctly.
Reason for choosing Device Magic
Offline capability. A lot of our projects are in remote, service-less locations.

We are using the platform to record our drivers' work and invoice accordingly. The App allows to control remotely the forms that are dispatched to the users. The receiving data is stored on the App's own platform, and can be perfectly audited and accessed. The App has connections to Google Sheets, allowing us to apply query functions and prepare the invoicing process. Forms can be completed off line and load automatically when connected to the WiFi network
