Canvas has significantly improved our operation, increased productivity and less redundancies
Canvas has cut out so many redundancies in our business and is extremely versatile. It has been fun getting creative with the workflow. Not to mention the endless advantages for remote use and management.
Pros
The fact that Canvas takes away so much extra leg work behind the scenes, freeing up time for our employees to focus energy on more critical tasks.
Cons
The only recommendation I would have is to make functional improvements on multiple departments or groups sharing the same apps and functions. For example, a franchise group with several locations that need to keep consistency with apps across the locations

GoCanvas Forms
We have replaced an older form program with GoCanvas and opened up options to other departments. Their support has been very attentive to our needs and questions.
Pros
The ease of creating forms and end user experience has made rolling out the software , well, easy. The departments are in charge of their own forms and any changes which avoids delays they would otherwise experience contacting IT.
Cons
Currently, there is not the ability to attach documents to the form. We have the need to include official documents to some of the forms that have been created. We are working around that by taking a photo which works in some cases.

Good for data collection but very limited reporting
Pros
I appreciate the ease of creating web forms to collect data along with the signature function. User adoption of the software is painless.
Cons
Unless you love reading through many rows of data, the reporting functionality is probably not for you. I use zapier to automate the export of my data into google sheets so that I can easily run reports. GoCanvas is costly considering it is basically a data collection tool without the ability to do even the most rudimentary analysis.

Great product for fillable forms
A very easy to use mobile form generator to allow me to go paperless.
Pros
The ease of creation of the forms and the ability to easily edit the forms as many times as needed and then the preview ability to really let you see how it works before trying to implement it. Great for capturing signatures as well.
Cons
A little bit of a learning curve on how different fields work and how best to set up the PDF so that the form is legible after filled out.
