Cognito Forms vs. Pabbly

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...

• It is great for companies or people that are using software that is mainstream and would like to extend the capability of that software with added features.
• Also great for companies that use more than 1 software and need to have them interact with each other to make them more efficient
• Great for companies that need to automate functions that are repetitive throughout the organization

• 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.

• Connect software applications that are not already integrated or connected
• Automate processes within a single software
• Transform data and then using that data across different software applications

• It isnt the most user friendly if you have someone who isnt experienced
• Learning curve is pretty high
• Should be easier to customise the formatting

Incentivized

• The trigger action needs improvement
• The method of connecting different software also needs to be simplified
• The actions for some software applications need to have more capability (things that can be done between different software)

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.

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

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.

Most platforms do one thing well so you are limited to that one thing. And then those platforms add some functionality later, plus most systems don't have native integration between other systems. From our experience, Pabbly Plus was birthed by connecting different platforms/software so it works well in that regard. It is also easier than most systems as most other platforms charge a premium for integration systems, where as Pabbly doesn't.

• 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

• Saved us thousands of dollars in manual labor costs
• Made us more profitable due to automating our marketing effort
• Allowed us to meet with more prospects by reducing our effort
• Made us more intelligent by capturing important information that we were not able to capture
