    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...

    Despite its minor shortcomings, PollFish is still very good for startups that need to gauge their product idea's potential acceptance and customer demand, and also very useful for fine-tuning their branding, messaging, product features, and even pricing. This is so much better than traditional polling and surveying, which were more expensive and much slower in the past.

    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.

    • Obtain people's opinions on a specific topic, both quantitatively and qualitatively, as it has option for open answers.
    • Being able to segment my audience not only by country and state, but also by city and even socioeconomic level (something that is particularly difficult outside of the United States).
    • Be able to insert videos in order to make quick creativity tests.
    • Obtain quick results. Most of the times in only one day, even with specific segmentations.

    • The survey editor UI can be quite annoying. The way it scrolls back up to the top of the page whenever I click on a question to edit it makes it so that the page is constantly moving.
    • Oftentimes I get an "oops an error occurred" message but it never actually explains what is going wrong.
    • Customer support can sometimes take a long time to respond making it challenging when faced with a platform question or capability I am not familiar with.

    For what it is and what it offers, I think it is very user friendly, intuitive and reactive. As long as you don't treat it as a powerful full service research tool and look at it more as the scrappy DIY option, it will actually exceed expectations.

    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.

    Pollfish is the most cost effective and the quickest survey platform. However there are questions when it comes to the actual reliability of the results that are retrieved from Pollfish surveys. However, its speed makes it tough to use other platforms, even at a potential sacrifice of the quality of data.

    Scales fine on the platform side, we can run bigger samples without issue. Main limiter is budget, bigger/narrower audiences get expensive

    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
