Pros

“Easy drag-and-drop form creation, no coding required, and useful integrations that help keep everything organized and reduce manual work.”

Khushdeep G.

Sales

“What it makes up for in data efficiency it is spent in learning how to use the integration and storage set up.”

Jessica H.

Processor

“With its native Salesforce integration, this tool is perfect for those needing to embed in the Salesforce house.”

AJ G.

IT Systems Administrator

Pros

“The platform has made it easier to organize information, manage forms and submissions, and keep track of important tasks. While there are a few areas where navigation could be improved, especially when managing multiple forms, the overall convenience, functionality, and ease of use have made it a very valuable tool.”

Reginald B.

Program Director

“The platform also makes it easy to design, edit, and optimize workflows, helping automate business processes, streamline approvals, and adapt to changing requirements with minimal effort.”

Beverly T.

Accounting Manager

“Its user-friendly interface allows teams to quickly build customized forms, update existing ones, and manage submissions efficiently.”

Beverly T.

Accounting Manager

Cons

“It can also start to feel a little chaotic when you are managing a large number of forms, which makes navigation and organization more difficult than it should be.”

Aleah H.

OSS

“I wouldn't be so mad because I do take responsibility for my part in this... but it's also taken me HOURS to attempt to leave the service (they still haven't cancelled my account and each month that goes on they keep charging me!!!!), another 20 hours or so to rebuild my forms on another platform.”

Victoria D.

Founder

“On top of all of this, I have reached out when our form logic was just NOT working (REALLY bad look for us for our clients) and they gaslit me and told me it was working after it had been fixed.”

Victoria D.

Founder

Cons

“Managing facilitator availability, complex scheduling, customized dashboards, document repositories, and highly specific workflows can be difficult.”

Felipe P.

Ceo

“After building dozens of forms and onboarding more than 5,000 people, the only issue I’ve encountered was a mismatch between UTC and a user-entered date and time fed from the API.”

Amir N.

Onboarding Architect

“The customization options are powerful, but they can feel a bit confusing at first, which makes simple things like receiving instant notifications harder than they should be.”

Candie W.
