Likelihood to Recommend If you have a lot of customer interaction with your site, where you need to collected specific, targeted, situational data, 123FormBuilder is an absolute winner. If your site is more information and perhaps leads to a software platform or other product or service, 123FormBuilder might prove unnecessarily robust for you. Something simpler and cheaper might make more sense for you. But in most cases where you're seeking to collect information from customers, I'd happily recommend 123FormBuilder.
Read full review I don't recall a period of time when we couldn't access our data in the Square 9 cloud. The software works really well. I can't remember the last time I had to submit a support ticket. While we were working on the project, the technicians were great at utilizing software like ScreenConnect and Calendly to complete tasks.
Read full review Pros Ease of constructing a form with requisite inputs Customizable look and feel options based on varying requirements in our case Logic based branching & validation Read full review It's easy to design a form - many featured features allow you to create what you need. The workflows allow you to set conditions to take it in different directions based on the request - such as skipping approval levels. You do not have to be a programmer to design a form and workflow (although similar skills are needed). It's not hard to check on the status of a user request (form submission). Read full review Cons Some employees are intimidated at first. After all, it is html. There is so much functionality that it can be easy for novices to get lost. Will there be more payment flexibility? parents use more of the bank to person payment options. Read full review The functionality is great but it can be a bit overwhelming. There's so much you can do that it's hard to remember how to do it - even if they've reviewed it with you and left themselves available for follow up. I don't want to necessarily have to take a class to learn how to use the product in full. Read full review Likelihood to Renew I like the product, but I am no longer in control of the project where this product was being used. However, I would definitely use 123ContactForm on future products
Read full review We absolutely can't imagine not continuing software maintenance as there are always new additions that improve the system not to mention the excellent tech support when issues are encountered. Response times for troubleshooting are very quick and usually, my issue is resolved in less than an hour after connecting with support.
Read full review Usability Easy to install and quickly explain to others how to use
Read full review Not sure if 10 is favorable or not, but this is supposed to be an unfavorable rating. I find that the solution lacks intuitiveness that should be inherent. I liken it to a large stack of papers and you have to be creative in finding what you want.
Read full review Reliability and Availability I did not encounter any blackout issues
Read full review Square-9 can get this product out to you in almost the same hour your order it. We got ours very fast.
Read full review Performance The interface was very good and easy to use. Everything loaded quickly and it was easy to integrate other products
Read full review With the PDF projected viewer, the document retrieval-to-display can drag for a second more than some systems, and the capture workflow if you overload a server array can also drag, but those are the only two issues we've ever seen with this product, and they are not serious issues at all.
Read full review Support Rating Very neutral, did not have to use support a lot
Read full review Support is always extremely helpful and responsive. Whenever we have a question, it is simple contacting them and also setting-up an appointment, if necessary. Scheduling the appointment is easy and they are willing to talk on the phone, which is not always true with software companies. Their report support tools are also really east to use.
Read full review In-Person Training It would have been higher, but the training is a bit muted for the lesser qualified office equipment vendors who signed up as partners to sell and support it. The more experienced ECM vendors and customer end-users will find the training very good, but a bit slow.
Read full review Online Training I installed 123ContactForm myself and while I had some issues installing it I was able to visit their website and the troubleshooting information they provided in their faq section. They did offer other support if a user needed additional support, but I found the information provided on their website to be more than sufficient
Read full review Implementation Rating 123ContactForm was very easy to implement and the content provided by them supported the product very well and answered all of my questions
Read full review I think the implementation could have gone a little smoother than it did. Now that I know how to use the software, I could do it myself. I feel that as an organization, we could have been a little better prepared. If the consultant was more aware of what we were looking for, they could have assisted in setting up some workflows for us as per the contract. But because we were not prepared, the initial implementation process was a little painful. That said, adding a document management system to ANY business kinda means everyone has to re-think the way they do their work which can be difficult for some staff.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Compared to JotForm or Woofoo, 123ContactForm offers a much better interface and better flexibility than the other tools. I have used JotForm only to get stumped by their inability to push the limits of the form. As for Woofoo, the level of ease of use in terms of their interface leaves much to be desired. Any updates made to their form was down using a WYSIWYG, where with 123ContactForm you can make the updates while building the form
Read full review A similar product I have used was Time Matters. For a Law Firm, I think Time Matters is more useful as it keeps track of everything for a client, including billing. However, since I now work for a legal department of a corporation, SmartSearch is definitley more useful. It is not possible to seperate the documents we have internally in neat client files. We have various miscellaneous documents for many different services and customers or vendors. SmartSearch allows us to organize in broad categories that make sense to internal employees using it and to make sure security is set on specific documents. Time Matters would not have been sufficient for our managers to have access to, since it uploads all documents to the file - some of which are confidential.
Read full review Scalability It was easy to install and I believe that would make it easy to use across several websites
Read full review The scale-ability is quite good actually, but you need competent sales/support folks providing it to you, so the scale is set right for the demands of your system use. Some resellers are not good at doing this, some are fantastic. If you are scaled correctly at first implementation, you'll be very happy with this system.
Read full review Return on Investment 123ContactForm has been positive for my business. It has saved us money because we did not require any development I was able to do this myself. Read full review Elimination of all filing activities, labor $$$ of at least $20,000 per year. Elimination of file cabinets, retention management, boxing and storage, purging and shredding... again, thousands of dollars of savings Estimate that we paid for the software in the 1st year and would never go backward to our old processes Read full review ScreenShots 123FormBuilder Screenshots Square 9 Softworks Screenshots
