Fun to use, so robust for small businesses looking for efficiency

Ability to gather info from guys in the field and turn it into nice-looking reports for customers and actionable knowledge for the office.

PROS

When my business needed a form built and I was tired of waiting for programmers to build stuff for us that cost a lot of money and our time trying to explain to them what we needed, then wasn't quite right because they still don't really understand our business, I decided to build one myself. I then spent a lot of time looking at different products, and most of the ones that had the core functionality I needed (the ability to automatically create PDFs) were either too annoyingly simple and couldn't make the calculations I needed or they were so complex I would have to learn a lot of programming. Thank goodness I found Forms on Fire! It's the perfect middle ground that lets me do amazing things with a little work and playing around but takes care of the basics in the background.

CONS

They have a knowledge base that is great for getting started, but often doesn't show enough examples for me to quickly understand how to make their more advanced features work. And sometimes they go ahead and release new features (yay!) without fully debugging or writing up how to use or the bugs they've already found and are working on.

Vendor Response

Hi Joanna, we appreciate your kind words and we now have a process in place for adding examples to our knowledge base, which occurs every week!

A very effective tool to save field time and office time.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the price we pay, and the ability to complete items in an app with an output report on our template.

PROS

The output template is the most important feature to us. This way we can use our existing forms, and create a report we can immediately send to a customer while still onsite.

CONS

Sometimes the customer support doesn't know what I am talking about when building the forms. Building the forms is sometimes very confusing, and very tedious. The amount of time it takes to build a form sometimes is not worth the effort over using excel. Not being able to force sync from the home page of the app is a downfall.

Reason for choosing Forms On Fire

The ability to turn off subscriptions, and the ability to use our existing forms. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is also very knowledgeable.

Reasons for switching to Forms On Fire

We wanted some users to be able to have monthly subscriptions.

Team was very attentive to our needs at the time along with ongoing support.

PROS

We were able to customize it to meet our needs of both the developers and the end users. The ability to take a few steps back was important to get the software working they way we wanted it to

CONS

The inability to change the structure of the software once we went too far down the development path.

Vendor Response

Hello Terry and thanks for writing. Many of our clients find it easy to change the structure. Please contact support@formsonfire.com to schedule a complimentary session with a platform specialist to help you make the changes you want.

A goood software to create customizable forms and streamline their data collection processes.

Formsonfire is a flexible and user-friendly data collection and workflow automation tool that can help businesses streamline their operations and improve their efficiency.

PROS

The platform allows businesses to create customized forms and workflows that are tailored to their specific needs, and can be used across a range of industries and use cases. Additionally, Formsonfire provides users with a range of tools and features that can help them automate their processes, such as email and SMS notifications, integrations with third-party tools, and real-time reporting.Another advantage of using Formsonfire is its ease of use. The platform is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, with a drag-and-drop form builder that makes it easy to create and customize forms. Additionally, Formsonfire provides users with a range of templates and pre-built forms that can be used as a starting point, saving time and reducing the learning curve.

CONS

While Formsonfire offers a range of pricing plans that are designed to be accessible to businesses of all sizes, the cost can add up quickly if you require a large number of forms or advanced features.Another potential issue with Formsonfire is its limited offline functionality. While the platform does allow users to collect data offline, there are some limitations to what can be done without an internet connection. This may be a concern for businesses that operate in areas with limited connectivity or require real-time data collection and reporting.

Technical Surveys

We needed a way to capture survey information from our engineers and have that data distributed to our designers and sales people to assess the results - many of our customers are in rural areas with no internet coverage, so the ability to work off-line was critical. We use the software on a regular basis and are able to instantly update the survey forms with engineer feedback for re-use within minutes. It has helped us conform to industry documentation requirements as well as provide consistent data for our designers to work with.

PROS

Easy to use and create sophisticated data entry forms for our engineers to capture customer data. The killer feature for us is the off-line ability to capture data and then upload automatically when next connected. Customer support is amazing!

CONS

It does a whole lot more than we need, so it would be good to be able to use a simpler cut-down version

Reasons for switching to Forms On Fire

no true off-line capture abilities, FoF has a whole lot of data analysis capbilities and integration that we would use in the future
