Cognito Forms definitely is a powerful tool. Microsoft Forms is one that we have also used but isnt available in your drop down selection above. I like how they are pretty easy to use and it has a lot of functionality that makes the outcome of a survey and the like pretty spot …
Chose Cognito Forms
I have not used any other programs like Cognito Forms. I have been with my company for almost two years. I very much like the ease of this system and its capabilities. I like knowing everyone is using the same thing. I do not foresee us making any changes to our current use …

Cognito Forms
It's excellent for small sets of forms, from simple to highly complex It's not good at scale. With over 170 forms now, we desperately need some way to manage and maintain shared content once Cognito does not help. Their approach is that you can copy a working form (great) and modify it to create the next one. That's how we've got so many forms...

Pros
Cognito Forms
  • New Hire Form - It announces the new hire and provides direction to several departments on their needs, computer, phone, security level, etc.
  • Terminations - We use it to shut off security, badges, computers, track phone, electronics, etc.
  • Temp Form - It provides an avenue to enter them into our payroll system for tracking hours, also, for the start and end dates.

We have been using Cognito Forms for over 5 years. We find it very easy use and it is part of the programs we use on a daily basis.

Cognito Forms
Very friendly and helpful, but typically takes at least one day to respond. However, when they do respond they dive right into the specific form I ask about and tell me exactly how to fix what I need help with

Return on Investment
Cognito Forms
  • We've been able to get away from Word and pdf forms and build a functionality that is conditional on form content
  • The speed of getting a good-enough version up and running to meet an immediate business need is outstanding
  • The cost of improving a set of almost good-enough forms or propagating a change in business rules is depressing
