Formsite

Formsite for Human Services Nonprofits

Kommentare: We needed a dynamic form builder for our services applications in the nonprofit human services sector. We needed to ask complex matrix-style questions and use complex conditional logic, piping, etc. We also wanted to put specific masking requirements on certain question types, like phone numbers, emails, and even numbers within a range, etc. We loved formsite for meeting all of these needs with an affordable, easy-to-use form builder that does not require coding!

Vorteile:

We loved that formsite was easy to use and can capture complex answers without needing to know how to code. Formsite is also affordable and can integrate with other commonly used software programs.

Nachteile:

I wish there was a more seamless integration with SharePoint. Currently, it's more of a OneDrive integration for the results docs. The integration breaks randomly and we'll get a notification that we have to go in and reconnect the integration. Also, we have to use Zapier to capture the data points in a form that goes to an excel doc on a OneDrive account, then is added to a SharePoint list, where the applications are managed (accepted, denied, etc.). It would be much easier if formsite could integrate directly with a Sharepoint list.

Software Review

Vorteile:

I liked the ease of being able to build the forms.

Nachteile:

It was not very user friendly for the recommenders and evaluators.

Easy and Simple Form Capture

Kommentare: While designed primarily as an intake form, our marketing department attempted to use Formsite to provide details for creative work orders with limited success. Formsite worked well for basic webforms, contact data collection, and customer surveys. I would recommend Formsite for any small to medium sized business looking to create webforms and aggregate data via Zapier integrations to more powerful platforms.

Vorteile:

The setup of web forms for lead capture, surveys, and contact data is simple. The administrative back end is straight forward and intuitive. Formsite main features can be navigated without much training. Setting up basic forms is quick and easy, this is the greatest strength of Formsite. Integrations via Zapier allow for greater power when Formsite is applied to automation platforms such as Hubspot for marketing or Google Sheets for "if this then that" workflows.

Nachteile:

There are limitations to Formsite in customization. User permissions were limited, but usable and scalable.

Save and Return feature along with an ease to understand UI = Powerful form building

Kommentare: I enjoyed building forms with Formsite and for the most part, I can do everything I need to do to support my clients needs quickly and far cheaper than custom software development. I would recommend it to anyone to at least evaluate against the many other form building software as a service type systems out there.

Vorteile:

The save and return feature is incredibly useful and was essential to allowing me to build my form so end users could return to see their results and verify their status (after an admin reviewed and approved/denied). It also allowed me to build follow up forms which were a breeze to start using the export/import features.

Nachteile:

The save and return is fantastic, but it only works for a single form. So if you want a user to effectively have a form "library" under one account, its not possible. This can be circumvented by continuing to build on an existing form as needed, just start the end user at the right question.

Easy To Create Complicated Forms

Kommentare: I have been using Formsite in 2 different jobs and for years. It is easy to embed the forms and get them very close to how you want them to look. Making the logic driven forms makes us look like a bigger company than we are. There are a lot of use cases for forms from leads to surveys to job applications that we use this for.

Vorteile:

It is easy to build forms with rules and logic. It integrates with an increasing amount of other software platforms and the customer service is great. Being able to fully customize the notifications and success pages is really intuitive. It seems like they have thought of almost everything.

Nachteile:

The design of the forms are a little out of date and don't respond to mobile in as pretty of a way as I would like. There could be more advanced verification of fields too like SSN and matching zip to cities. Also autofill doesn't always work with these but that may be a bug.

AI integration is superb

Kommentare: It’s a simple and user friendly platform to generate surveys. It’s not fancy and gets the job done.

Vorteile:

The AI integration tool to generate quick surveys is amazing and saves a lot of effort.

Nachteile:

It’s a savior for those in need of creating quick surveys. I have no complaints.

We really enjoyed Formsite! The custom .PDF and workflow really worked for us.

Kommentare: The whole filling up pdfs automatically really was an amazing experience + paired up with the fact that you can let the user sign the form, it really eases up time if you are handling official documents that need to be filled ASAP.

Vorteile:

To be able to fill our own .pdf with our company's info, logo and wording with Formsite's form answers. The workflow takes a while to get used to, but once you have everything set up automatically, it speeds things up and gives you reliable information that can be put in any document you want.

Nachteile:

Only the packages pricing. At the end it was something that we had to let go because of how much entries we had and how much we were spending on it. It is worth it if you have a big corporation that has a lot of form entries on a daily basis.

Formsite was flawless

Kommentare: Formsite allowed us to seamlessly connect potential leads to our program with our staff.

Vorteile:

Ease of use. How well it worked. It just did the job.

Nachteile:

The software worked up to our standard. No cons at all.

Great use for sponsorship applications

Kommentare: We mainly use it for sponsor & exhibitor sales for our conferences.

Vorteile:

The flexible use of conditional logic on the form and in emails. This allows you to creat unique experiences for the user.

Nachteile:

If a payment doesn’t go thru, there is no way to troubleshoot through Formsite. Additionally, if not using a login for customers, they cannot save and return to their application, which if not completed, will take items out of inventory.

Simple to use

Vorteile:

I liked that the software allowed me to use Autofill so that I could hit one button and all my information was filled in on the form.

Nachteile:

I liked all aspects of this software. There wasn't one aspect I didn't like.

La qualità nei form

Kommentare: Dopo la prova gratuita ci siamo convinti e siamo passati alla versione Pro. Mai avuto problemi. Il sistema drag & Drop rende facile e personalizzabile la costruzione dei form, riuscendo ad adattarli anche graficamente ai siti mantenendo lo stesso stile.
Report accurati e semplice da analizzare.
Soddisfatti.

Vorteile:

Possibilità di prova gratuita, integrazioni con diverse applicazioni/software/metodi di pagamento... Personalizzabile, report ottimi

Nachteile:

Costo sicuramente "alto" se iniziate e non siete sicuri che vi serva o di quanto utilizzo fate.

Una buena herramienta para crear formularios y encuestas

Kommentare: Una buena experiencia en general. Formsite nos ayudó a hacer cuestionarios de clima laboral, preferencias para eventos, etc.

Vorteile:

La firma electrónica es su mayor fortaleza.Es intuitivo y fácil de usar.

Nachteile:

Creo que no es tan conocido como otros softwares, por lo que es poco usado. Al no ser tan conocido, el público se siente más cómodo con otros softwares de formularios.

Bon logiciel de création automatique de formulaire

Vorteile:

Ce logiciel est parfait pour a création rapide de formulaire

Nachteile:

Je ne lui ai pas trouvé d'inconvénient et je le recommande vivement

Formsite - keeps the work flowing through our organization

Kommentare: Formsite was already in place when I took my position with the HOA. Everything I know about it was self taught. (not very easy either) Formsite does allow for easy workflow between departments. the reporting feature is essential to us as we need to have tracking on all the forms as to when received, when assigned and when completed. The notes section also allows for additional information to be entered on each individual form. Honestly, I am not sure I would have picked this product for our office if I had been given a choice.

Vorteile:

Formsite allows our homeowners to submit change requests and other concerns directly through our website. No special log in is required by the homeowner unless they want to get to the "homeowners' only" section of the forms. These would be for exterior modifications. Otherwise, anyone living in the community can access the forms on the website and submit a street light outage, concern or kudos. Formsite allows the admin to determine the fields to be displayed on each form and has an auto reply feature to let the submitter know that they have completed the process. This is key for us as we have over 5500+ homes and we can not personally reply to every submission. Formsite does that for us.

Nachteile:

When creating a form from scratch, the system is cumbersome and the wording used to define the fields does not always make sense. I personally have gotten so frustrated with the process of creating a new form, that I have taken to copying an existing form and then adding, deleting or editing the fields I need to. Even after 5 years of using this software, I do not feel confident in creating a new form from scratch. and I would really like to have that feeling.

Easy to use Form Builder

Kommentare: I like using this site and product, its been made very easy to use for not technically minded people.

Vorteile:

Copy and paste links to easily send to your clients. Clients can fill out the form on their mobile device which people appreciate. I like that its easy for clients to use and the forms get filled out correctly.

Nachteile:

It would be good to recieve an email when someone has filled in a form, you have to visit the site and check if it's been done. But thats not really a big deal.

Formsite Review

Kommentare: Formsite has been a great way for us to create and collect references for prospective staff. It's great that we can create what we want, and then simply provide a link to those completing the form. It's really made things simple for us.

Vorteile:

Formsite allowed us to create our own online fillable forms with our own questions. It stores the answers online so it is easy to review and keep. I also really like that it sends an email once a form has been submitted so you know that it's complete.

Nachteile:

The responses are stored within formsite and I am unsure of the options to import those to your PC, so this may be a con for some. You might find the completed form alert annoying if you expect a lot of forms to be submitted but you may be able to turn this off.

Formsite gave us a platform to organize numerous miscellaneous requests that come in daily.

Kommentare: This software has allowed us to organize our marketing requests on one platform.

Vorteile:

There is a ton of functionality in Formsite. You can pretty much create any type of form with plenty different styles of questions.

Nachteile:

Becuase of the level of customization that is available, it can get very confusing. The set up is probably necessary to carry out the customization, but it can get overwhelming. Exporting reports to excel is a little bit of a pain. I would enjoy more customization there.

Not for complicated responsive forms

Vorteile:

Form responses are encrypted by default.

Nachteile:

The reason I didn't stick with Formsite is because I was trying to create a fairly complicated, responsive intake form for my law firm, and there's no way to edit rules for more than one item at a time—meaning that you have to create a rule for every single item individually. That's all fine and good if you're building a short, simple form, but I wasted an entire day messing around with Formsite without getting very far on my intake form. Maybe I could've eventually created an amazing form, but I think it would've taken me a week to get there, and I don't have that kind of time.

It is fine for small events but forget trying to organize anything where people sign up in groups

Vorteile:

User-friendly, works for individual sign-ups.

Nachteile:

Export file is not reliable, payment status unreliable, customer support was just plain unhelpful. When you have multiple people sign up in one form, there is no way to export the file and have all the names in one column. We make name tags and check people in for our events and having the file exoprt the names into column z when other names are in column b just doesn't work! I asked if this is something I could have assistance with from customer service and I got a "NO". not helpful thanks....

The best software for forms on earth without hesitation

Kommentare: The best software for forms on earth without hesitation. If someone does not like it, there are 2 options: Or selected the wrong software profile (customer mistake) or did not use it at all. If you need forms online for surveys, take massive registration and why not, use it as a landing page in a marketing funnel, you will not find any other option better than this, I promise you that.

Vorteile:

- Easy to use. - Amazing features. - The best support on earth. - Only pros, no cons at all.

Nachteile:

- No cons at all, only pros (I have used it for more than 4 years) and have not find any con so far.

Great way to customize release forms

Vorteile:

I run a niche business that has specific needs for liability waiver forms. This gives me the ability to quickly get the client signed off and move on.

Nachteile:

Once we had reached a certain limit, the software did not accept any more forms on the tablet. I had to change my preferences in the field and made a log jam while trouble shooting. A warning that we were getting close would have been helpful.

Formsite - more than forms

Kommentare: I have used this product for over ten years and prefer it to others on the market. It is great for a simple registration form and surveys. Also works well for uploading documents and information that needs to be gathered from members. We are very satisfied with the functionality.

Vorteile:

Very simple to create surveys and forms. The variety of forms gives flexibilty to quickly and easily use it for multiple purposes. Able to customize with your own graphics. Appearance can be fun and whimsical or very corporate-looking. There are affordable options for any size business or organization.

Nachteile:

The Save and Return feature needs improvement as it can be confusing for users to figure out how to reopen their responses once they have closed it. Also, the platform doesn't take the user back to where they left off; they need to page through all the previous responses to get to first uncompleted section. We have requested this enhancement.

Inexpensive, but very clunky

Kommentare: We use this for grant submissions. The software is cheap, but difficult to use. There aren't a lot of built-in helpful features.

Vorteile:

We chose this because of the price in comparison to other software. I like the export options. I like the attachment options.

Nachteile:

It's not very user friendly. It has a long way to go in terms of interface and functionality. The pricing options really don't fit with what I want. I need 1-2 forms with lots of submissions and data space.

Better options are out there

Kommentare: Overall we had an okay experience with formsite. While we found better options that worked better for us, we never had any major problems with this product.

Vorteile:

Formsite made it easy for us to create and share online forms easily, and the ability to get responses emailed to the point person on a project or promotion was great. There are a lot of options for customizing your form.

Nachteile:

For the price, I was not impressed. We had a paid plan and it just ended up not being worth it. We found there are better options for little to no cost.

Formsite

Kommentare: It has made my job as a leasing manager much more organized for tenant move ins.

Vorteile:

The forms are so incredibly user friendly and they are perfect for gaining the information that we need from our tenants.

Nachteile:

I suppose it would be nice to have the ability to make the forms a little bit more "exciting" or personalized to some degree.
