### Most mentioned pros

- I liked that I was able to create any type of forms for my teams for risk management. When there was an issue my team could log it.
- Formstack Forms has been very helpful in my sales work for creating and managing online forms without any technical difficulty.
- It offers a lot of functionality and can be really useful for creating and managing forms.

### Most mentioned cons

- Recent platform updates have made custom CSS less reliable, with previously working code no longer functioning as expected and often requiring additional support to resolve.
- Advanced customization can feel limited without deeper technical workarounds, which reduces flexibility for more complex design needs.
- I've been trying to cancel for 2 months... and in the meantime they have been billing me for those two months. And also they have just let me know that apparently I am on a yearly contract?? And I can't cancel for 8 months? After I spend another $4k+ with them??

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Formstack Forms makes it easy to build and manage forms without needing a lot of technical knowledge. I really like how quickly you can create professional-looking forms, customize fields, and collect information in a clean, organized way.

#### Cons

At times, Formstack Forms can feel a little clunky, especially when working through more advanced form logic, integrations, or formatting options. Some settings are not always as intuitive as they could be, so it can take a little trial and error to get everything working exactly the way you want.

Formstack has been exceedingly useful, but the form limit without large increases in cost have proved somewhat restrictive.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5

#### Pros

Formstack is a fairly robust system with many options for creating and customizing forms and allows for more automations through integrations and API hooks.

#### Cons

The cost of Formstack can be prohibitive for smaller organizations with extensive needs.

#### Reasons for choosing Formstack Forms

Formstack has a more robust set of options than many other tools...it is a little less streamlined in its user interface, but that leads to a stronge ability to customize the entire system to your needs.

### Cancelled my account after 1 month -Most useless tech support of all time.

I missed numerous deadlines and opportunities to gain customers because I couldn't get these forms set up for the beginning of our school year (we're a music school and these were our registration forms). This has been my single worst customer service/support experience ever.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

If it has worked, it would have been great that you can process credit cards right there in the form. It's also nice how you can save form sections, and there are many options for question/answer templates.

#### Cons

As soon as I started using Formstack, there was an issue with the payment processor integration where credit card transactions would not go through. I started out using Stripe, and when it didn't work, I contacted support, but none of their solutions fixed it, so I switched to Paypal. I then had the same issues with Paypal. I emailed back and forth with Support for a long time. They offered me the same 4 solutions repeatedly, all of which I tried. I explained to Support that these things weren't helping but it was as if they had amnesia and didn't remember they had already suggested the same things, which didn't work. I sent a message to the Sales team instead to see if they could get me in touch with a different Support professional who knew how to fix this problem (no phone #s on website). Sales said they would escalate the issue. When I didn't hear back for a week, I emailed again asking to cancel my account, and the Sales person said they had emailed support and that "the issue is with your payment processor," which of course I already knew and was the reason for my message in the first place. They continued to insist that the issue was with Paypal. I talked to Paypal support and the problem was not on their end. Many annoying issues with the form creation interface too- like to move questions you have to drag and drop by scrolling through the entire form. And the item/event purchase requires you to give the option of ordering more than one of each item.

#### Vendor response

Hi there, We feel just awful that you had this experience. I sent your review over to our Director of Customer Care. She had a meeting with all of the support team leads to go over your experience. She said she would really like to chat with you, on a call, and give you two months for free if you'd be at all interested, just to ensure you can get up and running again. Her email is Jessica.Haas@formstack.com. While we have won awards for our excellent customer support, your experience has pointed out some glaring issues we're taking care of immediately. We'd still love the chance to make this right for you, but understand if you're not interested. Either way, thank you for the review and helping us improve our customer support team!

### Formstack didn't meet our needs during development and now we're stuck with the bill

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: David D.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness
- Company size: 201-500 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months

At first, our experience with Formstack was promising. However, it clearly became evident that formstack for Salesforce was ill-equipped to handle extensive forms with little formatting needs without passing data to the object.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

We like that the product was a native salesforce integration and that it was capable of attaching the response PDF to the account object. Unfortunately, Formstack failed when it came to our formatting needs.

#### Cons

The BioSpine Institute needed a short term patient paperwork solution to attached the response PDF to the Account Object. Unfortunately, we ran into several PDF formatting and rules issues. Our forms required hundreds of rules to hide and show fields based on the patient's input. The rules engine was not user friendly and cumbersome, forcing the user to search for existing rules by clicking through pages. We spent weeks trying to make it work. Our PDFs were 26 pages long when they should have been closer to 8. It was so long because hiding certain pages was impossible. Formstack Forms produced an unacceptable product as it would slow and hinder Clinic operations. Formstack's solution? Formstack suggested using Documents, a feature we had not purchased, to format the PDF the exact way we wanted it. Unfortunately, this would require us to create hundreds of fields in Salesforce and pass the data from the form into Salesforce. We specifically discussed during the sales process that we wanted very little if any patient data in Salesforce. If this were known at the time, we would have looked for another solution. After multiple meetings and communications, we expressed our desire to cancel the contract due to Formstack's inability to meet our needs as promised. However, Formstack denied our request and is currently billing us every month for a product we can't use. If you're looking for a form solution, don't use Formstack for Salesforce.

#### Reasons for choosing Formstack Forms

We chose formstack because of it's native integration with Salesforce.

#### Reasons for switching to Formstack Forms

We need a native form solution that could attache the response PDF to the Account Object. This works, but you have little control over formatting without also purchasing the Documents product. But in order to use the documents product, you must build the fields on the account object to store the data. This was a no go for us and discussed during the sales meeting.

#### Vendor response

Hi David, We love to earn 5 star reviews, but this feedback is even more valuable to our team. We're sorry we didn't have the features you were looking for here. I'll make sure to pass your feedback to our product teams to consider for future improvements.

### Workflow routes are a useful tool for streamlining team-based processes.

Salesforce and Formstack interface smoothly, enabling data to be gathered and recorded on pertinent documents. Questions and problems are promptly addressed by Formstack support.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Formstack has implemented strict security measures to safeguard sensitive data, whether it is being collected, shared, or stored. Security passwords can be used to encrypt data and guarantee that only individuals with the proper authorization can access particular data. Additionally, workflow approval is in place, so users may only access the form through authorized inputs. Users are able to closely monitor and keep track of every form entry thanks to this.

#### Cons

Better back-end form storing organization structure. The capacity to replicate forms and guarantee that every rule is copied over. High-end plans are the only ones that offer advanced base features like payments, approval, multiple users, single sign-in for forms, and more.

#### Reasons for switching to Formstack Forms

More comprehensive and interesting information might be displayed on the Form Manager dashboard.

#### Vendor response

Hi Atour, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for your great review. We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our product. Your support means the world to us.

### Easy to use

- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2019
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall, formstack was a great choice for our organization. We've setup and deployed dozens of forms for both public facing use and internal use.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Formstack's form builder is easy to use and has a lot of integration options. Our form building users range from not-so-tech savvy to power users and both are able to create forms with ease.

#### Cons

Lack of variety with field types. While formstack isn't a "survey" tool, it's a form tool, I think they could implement a lot of field types that survey tools use and make it easier to use a single platform for all form/data collection needs.

#### Reasons for choosing Formstack Forms

While FormAssembly came highly recommended for it's well built Salesforce integration, we found for our needs Formstack was nearly as capable and the pricing per user was much better. With Formstack we get 10 user accounts where I believe a similar price range with Formassembly was for a single user.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are in the process of updating our survey capabilities with advanced features and field types. We will announce the updates as soon as they are available.

### Horrible product, horrible people (stay away)

- Overall rating: 2/5

In every possible manifestation of the word: Horrible.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It actually does merge Salesforce data into PDF form fields... eventually, anyway.

#### Cons

It's wildly buggy and inconsistent. Admin portal is often a month behind, so billing display errors create unneeded concerns on an almost monthly basis. And if ever you need tech support you must fight your way through 3 level-one novices who barely comprehend American English before you finally get someone who knows what they're doing. Also, their business practices are generally shady and they honestly shouldn't be trusted. Oh, plus they raised their already expensive fee as if they were worth it - they're not. Nintex/Drawloop is 1000% better at only 50% of the annual cost, we should have switched years ago.

#### Reasons for choosing Formstack Forms

At the time, it seemed less expensive and didn't require an up-front annual payment. But the nonsense limit on allowed template quantity creates a hidden fee that you can't realize until you're more familiar with the platform, and by then it's too late.

Great, couldn't be better. You can produce forms very easily with a drag and drop interface. Styling the forms within Formstack is ok; perhaps not as many freedoms as other products but it did everything I needed it to do.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

A really simple entry point into building online forms for any website. Simple to use as a standalone product i.e. producing a form for an organisation and hosting direct with Formstack; or embedding so it's on your own URL.

#### Cons

There isn't really anything I didn't like. I simply started working more with Wordpress and found it easier to deploy Gravity Forms given it's native within Wordpress. I believe that Formstack now also offers this.

### Good for the price, but lacking in integration with Salesforce

- Company size: 201-500 employees

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5

- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

One of the most cost-effective form tools we've found and extremely easy to use. I wish there was a bit more versatility to the type of questions you can add to a form, but overall it's pretty good!

#### Cons

Our chief complaint was how many workarounds we've had to use in order to get SalesForce integration to work for us. The Formstack for Salesforce product leaves MUCH to be desired (taking away all form customization available in regular formstack) and it has taken hours and multiple team members to be able to streamline our formstack to salesforce process. It's now pretty seamless but it shouldn't have taken that many resources for a simple form-to-opportunity functionality. This came from a frustration in the lack of functionality in list creation, updating, and note creation with Salesforce, none of which worked well at a high level within formstack.

#### Vendor response

Hi Daniela! Thank you for leaving us a review! We love hearing from customers. We do offer a 100% native Salesforce app that does not require any connectors or integrations.

I have used Formstack since the have begun and really have seen them go from a great product to and even greater product through the years. I always explain it to say it is like Google Docs on Steroids. User interface is great and the customer service has always been amazing. Rather than spending an hour googling some solution to a problem I am having with a form I can always contact them by email or phone and get a great response spoon. The integration with third party services are great as well as the custom notification emails sent to attendees of events based on how they fill out their form. I can't recommend them enough for people who are trying to do online registration with groups of people.

You can't send emails to all registrants, you can hook up to a third party emailer, but that doesn't work for me with my emailer. There are others, but I don't want to sound like a basher. Overall I'm pretty happy and I make it work for my needs, but I am on the prowl for other solutions.

Formstack has all the functionality you need for basic question forms. It has numerous pre-configured fields that you can just drag and drop into your form. I really like the logic and how it is easy to understand and configure. The low price is hard to beat when needing a simple registration system.

#### Cons

There is no customized reporting. If you want to export any data from your form you have to export it all and then clean up the excel sheet to what you really want. I wish it had some more advanced functionality within the form that would make it versatile to use as a registration software.

We used Formstack as a first step of transition from having no online registration or information collection to accepting registration and payments online. I liked that it was fairly simple to create forms for information collection, but that information then had to be exported and transferred over to whatever system we used to store it.

#### Cons

While the basic drag and drop elements of the form were simple, it was not as straight forward to link it to payment software or collect payments. There were several instances where a box wasn't checked or the formula was not set up correctly by myself, another staff member, or volunteer and because of this payment didn't go through and had to be re-collected. If you are a religious organization or non-profit, I would advise collecting information, registration, and payment through a database system or something that's more all encompassing rather than using

#### Cons

I don't have any cons as it has served us well since day one.

### Great way to consolidate forms

Formstack has been great to integrate all of our company's internal forms. We don't use it, customer -facing, though. I've been happy with it.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It is easy to use for the most part and the forms look nice. They are better than the cheaper-feeling system we used in the past.

#### Cons

I wish it was easier to link common fields between forms so that if I update a pick list in one place it updates in the others. What they have makes it easy to create new forms but I do have to go back and update them when things change.

Formstack is not user friendly. You must know how to use HTML code.

#### Reasons for switching to Formstack Forms

Easier to use.
