Pros
Formidable Forms is super easy to use, the documentation is excellent, and the features keep coming. I love that there is constant development of features, and the customer services is top notch.
Offered modules are perfect. Premade templates are just amazing, saves times and helped to understand that what complex functions can be easily implemented through formidable forms.
The ability to add in additional features like Zapier integration with just a few clicks is the best.
Cons
However the learning curve fabric was terribly steep, i found formidable forms far easier to learn and become proficient with. Will my name complaint, if you can call it that, would be the price.
It's difficult with the complexity to integrate with various add-ons such as Zapier.
We were caught in a frustrating cycle with professional developers, as they presented us with complex solutions that led us nowhere.

An excellent forms program that excels in content manipulation and support.

Reviewed 6 years ago

My business would not exist without it. Used on every product from the simplest to the most complex.

Pros

The ability to store form contents, query the data and output results in any manner makes the product shine above all others tried. Support is more than excellent. Features added at lightning speed. Support is beyond any expectations.

Cons

Developing dynamic, data driven application can get a little complex requiring code snippets which they happily provide. Wish they has an in-house service for (for fee) to modify their hook samples if needed.

The Perfect Solution for Building Calculators with Ease

Reviewed 5 months ago

We were caught in a frustrating cycle with professional developers, as they presented us with complex solutions that led us nowhere. Despite involving three developers and investing a significant amount of time and money, they failed to deliver the special calculator we sought for our website. After extensive research and exploration, we fortuitously discovered Formidable Forms and decided to make the purchase. To our surprise, even without technical knowledge or prior experience, we were able to independently create the desired calculator ourselves.

Pros

I recently had the pleasure of using Formidable Forms, and I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with its ease of use and efficiency. Formidable Forms came to our rescue after a disappointing experience with developers who claimed to be proficient in coding calculators but failed to deliver on their promises. Frustrated by the delays and lack of progress, we took matters into our own hands and...

Cons

On the other hand, one aspect that some users may dislike about Formidable Forms is its pricing structure. While the platform offers a range of pricing plans to cater to different needs, some users may find the cost of certain programs relatively higher than other form builder solutions in the market. However, it's important to note that Formidable Forms's value and extensive features often outweigh the pricing concerns, especially for those who prioritize ease of use, advanced customization options, and robust form management capabilities.

Very simple to use Form Builder with tons of features

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Building simple forms is really fast and easy. Simply drag and drop, then use all of the customization features to style, size, add dynamic or conditional elements.

Cons

When displaying data from form views on my website, it adds a lot of JS and CSS, slowing down my pages. If your website is optimized for speed, you'll still be well within "good" speed parameters. But, if your website already struggles with load time or speed in general, adding views on your pages may slow things down.

Absolutely brilliant - turned my dreams into reality

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

The support is out of this world. In any software one is learning a lot of new skills so brilliant support makes the learning worth while. I could not have done so without it. I had a dream to turn our training companies administration, student management, and quality management system paperless. Formidable Forms has done that. Some of the things we do now, all paperless are; Student enrollment...

Cons

I an not competent with writing code myself, so battle with tasks involving custom code, but there are lots of samples available as well so this helps. Nothing really that I do not like. I just do not have the time to do more self learning as I do this voluntarily and have another real job.

The best -and only- App development plugin for WordPress

Reviewed 5 months ago

Required software that would allow us to build highly complex forms, have people view the data in a customized format, schedule interviews, take notes and applicants, etc. Formidable certainly fit the bill, and any other solution would have been unacceptable, honestly. It has allowed us to customize everything you need forms for come out like registration, etc. Absolutely invaluable.

Pros

We chose formidable forms because we need the ability to customize the data views. While we found the plug in quite pricey, it was the only option for creating the custom outputs required. Now that I'm getting past the learning curve, and getting to know the documentation, it really is super powerful. While there are a couple of features I would like to see, for the most part it absolutely rocks! I recommend it to people all the time

Cons

What are the main features I feel the software is lacking he has the ability to connect and manipulate outside databases. I used to be a Joomla guy. There is a plugin for Joomla called Fabrik. It is a super powerful database application development platform they allows you connect to any database anywhere. However the learning curve fabric was terribly steep, i found formidable forms far easier to learn and become proficient with. Will my name complaint, if you can call it that, would be the price. However if a for profit business, which we are not, required these features, it is definitely worth it.
