    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...

    Prontoforms is suited for complicated business needs that are able to integrate seamlessly into one of the out-of-the-box solutions available. For simple recording to a spreadsheet, pdf, word document, database, etc. without any additional integrations, better (and in some cases free) solutions may work. For custom integrations, cost and effort may get expensive.

    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.

    As Prontoforms markets itself as a low code, user-friendly drag and drop solution, it definitely excels in the area of user experience. While those who are more on the technical side will appreciate the standard options available as part of its custom integration tools. The learning curve has never been an issue.

    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

    The customer support for pronto forms was great for me in the only instance that I have had to use it. I called the phone number for ProntoForms customer support, they were quick with the correct answer for me and very reassuring.

    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.

    We looked for versatility of product and cost effectiveness when trying to choose vendors. Even though the product can be set up by the user or administrator, the more complex parts of the form required help to be done right. Vendors needed to be able to offer their services to get this done in a timely fashion. ProntoForms hit all the marks. We looked at other vendors and they just couldn't replicate or form closely enough.

    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

    • Return on Investment is immediate and possible from the first submission.
    • Saved us hours when it came to implementing forms on websites
