For what it was worth, the ability to fill out our Health and Safety daily form on GoCanvas was an easy and practical method.
We used GoCanvas to house the Health and Safety form that is submitted at the beginning of each day of field work. It was simple and straightforward and convenient to use on smartphones.
For what could just be done (and what we ended up doing) on a Google Form for free was being done in GoCanvas. Given the current situation with our company, we unfortunately made the switch to putting our form on Google Forms.

I think GoCanvas is great if you're looking for something simple to fill out for your forms. With electronic signatures and custom PDFs, you can easily take info from any source you want.
The fields can get a bit too simplistic. If there's more detail I'd like to add, then I'd have to capture it on separate forms (i.e. using Google Forms instead) for nested questions.

I appreciate the ease of creating web forms to collect data along with the signature function. User adoption of the software is painless.
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.

Friendly and helpful at the beginning and then the billing problems. Shortly thereafter support stopped. Have to wait days to get help.
Takes time to make the apps the way you want it, but can be powerful with time invested to setup. Data collection is solid. Lots of different functionality, but still needs other functions.
Submission reports are clunky and not as clean and customizable as I would like. No multi-photo uploads. Super expensive for companies wanting to scale quickly. They lock you in at rates for a year at a time and every time you grow they re-up the agreement without bulk discount rates. If you want support, be ready to leave lots of messages and then wait days for help. You will have to figure it out on your own basically. (Google is your friend.)
