Director

Honestly folks you can produce almost the same level of capability using a few data collection platforms that have an API and coding it using Ai for a fraction of the cost.

Rural technician

I can't print all togheter the records using fulcrum, instead to obtain a quicker printing of all data i have to use excel export and than between "Mail Merge" in WORD i create a my own schedule in a while.

I used Fulcrum for years with my organisations, it's fast, has great offline access, is very capable and simplifies the entire data collection process.

Seed Representative

I can include pictures from my drone and the ground which paint a picture of what I'm seeing in the field.

It has allowed me to be an effective communicator with my customers.

Quality Assurance

The app automatically geotags data, which is incredibly useful for tracking and visualizing field data on maps.

director

massive cost increase to the point where we cancelled our subscription, been using it for years

I would have loved to stay with the platform but only need one user account and refuse to be bullied into paying for 5.

Assistant Manager Restoration Response

In certain cases, searching with a margin error of about 25' of a radius from a drop point took more time than it should have. But overall it was fine.

Lead Consultant

It also promotes my business (I do tourism signage and infrastructure audits)as a more professional operation.

Field Service Technician

I’ve been using it for about 2 years to collect data on equipment, also using it to track equipment serving.

Office Manager

Keep job notes, and add progress to each job.

Loading Dock

only issue is being able to pull a monthly report with only information that I need instead of all the information it automatically gives.

Engineer

Another feature that I love is the fact that program saves any details that have been entered even in the event if program closes down.

Actually every month i have to retype my bancomat number to pay the bill,

surveillance officer

Not being able to attach multiple photos in the desktop mode like in the iPad mode

Playground Inspector

Not really any complaints, except when I search on map view it doesn’t show the location, unless I switch to list view

DIRECTOR

Very easy to use for both admins and field users; intuitive dashboards and stable performance across all projects.

Co-Founder and Technical Director

Would like to see more volumne / on-demand pricing for both reports and API's.

Gas Leak Survey Technician

That it sometimes hangs up on refreshing maps. And that it doesn't seem to link with Picarro anymore.

Professor

I was provided with the academia license for teaching my students.

Civil Inspector

Need dark mode for night use and company logo for customer reports.

Peer Inspector

The fact that if I make a mistake I can fix it myself I don’t have to send a email and wait for someone else to fix it.

Sometimes the accuracy on the map was a bit off.

Superb overall experience while using Fulcrum mobile data collection for tree health.

Field Researcher

The parent and child points in the map view are both the same color but different size.  

Assistant Engineer

The platform is well structured and it is easy to add photos and videos and build a report.

Its reliability offline and stable report generation.

sensitive content hidden] with support quickly answers any questions I have with app creation and data return.

Field Operations

The statistical analysis it offered after gathering sets of data.

Sometimes selected filters don't allow to see all reports.

Owner

Price is within the research of my customers,  mostly volunteer not for profit groups and trades people.

Network service operator

It sometimes doesn't update quick enough. But thats probably down to signal not the app its self but no hardship.

Safety

Time saving,  the fact that you can tell production in real time.

Urban Planner

What I liked most about Fulcrum is how user-friendly the platform is.

Sr. Const. Mgr.

Client later asked to reinstate them in the record.

Food Security and Livelihoods Specialist

Real time data collection, review and submission

The repirting function needs work, the reports are not easy to tailor.

Assets inspector

Monitoring and Evaluation

Simplicity of the app, the color of the app and the log it's just attractive.

Communications tech

The amont of time it takes to complete form.

Homeless Outreach Housing Navigator

Aftermarket Sales And Service Manager

Setting up the app is very easy and I am not a tech person. if you need any help.

Easy to use and incorporates google maps.
