Fulcrumapp.com Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

The simple but infinite customisation options for each app that you design mean you can have very strict control over the data you collect, which is crucial in ecology due to the diversity of survey work that takes place. Additionally, as the industry often demands unsociable hours, the ability to sync the device to a central shared database with a number of users reduces the amount of time you're waiting for data from colleaugues. And another obvious benefit in an industry based outdoors, is that you can survey in the rain without getting paper mache survey sheets!

The only issue I have encountered with Fuclrum is the accuracy of it's GPS tracking (which may actually be a device issue). This has sometimes led to individual small data points such as trees in a woodland being mapped a short, sometimes long, distance from their actual location. However, this is easily resolved within the app itself with patience.

I have been looking for months for a ''form / database'' online system for our production and QA inspection and monitoring. I have tried many of Fulcrum's competitors but they all - just didn't just have everything I needed... Always something that stopped me during the trial period. I found Fulcrum, and tested it and it grew on me the more I used it. The forms are simple to write and simple to alter and amend. The access is easy from phone. tablet and computer. The data is easy to search and check. We now use it in every part of the business. Estimates, QA inspection, Covid19 inspection, health inspection, leave forms so many forms. It is now a key part of the business.

My main issue with Fulcrum, which lets is down compared to others, is the PDF file / report is creates. Not even using the company logo within the report. Not able to edit it - even simple editting. No Bold or change of font. No .... Nothing.. You get what they give you, or you can pay a lot of money for a custom report, which you then can not change the form or the report in the future... without paying a lot more.

This app is inexpensive and offers us a fully customizable data collection application

We have found a few glitches. We also find the time stamp to be confusing and have created our own

We have used Fulcrum for almost 5 years and slowly utilised it across all departments of the company. For the initial 3 years it was a fantastic product which did the majority of things we needed. In many ways it was too simple but work arounds could be achieved with third party software and data connections. For basic form building and data collection it does the trick.

As Fulcrum grew they started rushing development which has resulted in almost every new release coming out with glitches. Some of these have been quite significant and take them an overly long time to resolve, if at all. In one case my company had to place 10 staff on standby while we waited for a resolution. We have since turned of automatic updates and are very cautious about using the the latests...

I love the flexibility of Fulcrum. We can build out apps that suit our needs, use it in offline mode in the field, overlay maps for our events and drop geo-pins at field locations, connect apps to give tiered data sets, and sort the data on the Fulcrum platform for routing and dispatch. The addition of the barcode integration and easy access a few years ago was immensely helpful.

The reporting is not all we need it to be. We are working on building out an API integration to a platform that will allow us to create and run reports.
