    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...

    GatedContent.com brings a lot to the Marketing Operations party, governance, standardization, etc, etc. but above everything else, if you're serious about growth marketing, GatedContent.com is essential in setting up a fully functioning attribution model. The best thing is that once the key data capture points are defined and built, end users don't need to worry about UTM and other key tracking parameters, they run in the background and plug into pre-exiting processes.

    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.

    Easy to use for both admins and end users. The individual gate/form configuration is guided and simple with little scope for error. Admins are able to steer the configuration with mandatory fields etc. There is a comprehensive knowledgebase and a very response support team if knowledgebase doesn't cover the query.

    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

    Very responsive and capable support team, all with excellent product and industry knowledge. Also, access to the developers if required to help support, particularly during the onboarding, set up, and testing process.

    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 of Cognito Forms.

    Eloqua, Hubspot, and Pardot, whilst not directly comparable, all have a forms solution, but these solutions become inefficient at scale and are open to user error. They can be difficult to implement across various CMS environments and aren't always easy to configure from an attribution perspective.

    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
