Considered Both Products
FormAssembly
Chose FormAssembly
I have used typeform, Yupform and jotform before choosing FormAssembly. Compared to them, FormAssembly is better for business use and handles complex workflows more smoothky. It is Salesforce integrtion is more reliable and reduce manual work. While other are simpler or have …
Chose FormAssembly
FormAssembly's features were more expansive than SurveyMonkey, in my opinion. When doing a comparison, we really liked that we could set up formulas to calculate expenses for us and that they would be easy to update as needed for rates that change from year to year.
Chose FormAssembly
More options, better customization, and friendly to admins. All 3 of those products have their warts, but the biggest hurdle is that they just don't work as well as FormAssembly. FormStack is nice in SF, but the features are limited, and the styling options are way worse. Titan …
Chose FormAssembly
FormAssembly is by far the better program when it comes to security and ease of use. The ability to connect multiple forms and create pathways depending upon responses allows for ease of use by respondents.
Chose FormAssembly
Overall we were looking specifically for a Salesforce-connected form provider, and found FormAssembly offered the most dynamic and powerful suite of Salesforce integrations across the form vendors we evaluated. I would specifically highlight that the logic a user can create …
Chose FormAssembly
I still use Google for simple tasks, but FormAssembly really does it all.
Chose FormAssembly
I know there are other options in the market but realistically we went with the one that our developers were familiar with and recommended which was FormAssembly. Knowing that it would work well with Salesforce
Chose FormAssembly
Form Assembly allows for advanced data mapping, pre-filling forms with Salesforce data, and working with custom objects. FormAssembly excels in Salesforce Integration, as it is highly specialized and deeply integrated. Often considered the industry leader for Salesforce forms, …
Chose FormAssembly
FormAssembly has superior Salesforce configuration settings, but JotForm offers a much greater variety of systems integrations. We don't really use reports or workflows in FormAssembly, but the Jotform Report Builder is frustrating at best. Workflows feel comparable from my …
Chose FormAssembly
Jotform didn't have the two-way SF connectors we needed, if I remember correctly.
Chose FormAssembly
We use both, but SMA is nice because you have a portal you can log into. In all other ways, Formassembly is better in my opinion.
Chose FormAssembly
It is easier to design a form through Formassembly and integrate the results with Salesforce. When compared with docomotion, Formassembly is user-friendly. Additionally, the new feature in Formassembly that allows for designing signatures is beneficial.
Chose FormAssembly
Our website couldn’t handle self-hosting Formidable Forms as a plug-in on our website and would frequently crash. Titan Forms had poor communication and was difficult to schedule customer service. Formstack was self-hosted on our Salesforce, but was overpriced for our use case …
Chose FormAssembly
We decided on FA forms as they are easy to setup, great user experience and API enabled
Chose FormAssembly
The customer support as well as usability of FormAssembly has been vastly superior.
Chose FormAssembly
I do not find much flexibility with advanced conditional/logic, customization, workflow, mapping, file, images, and doc upload.
Chose FormAssembly
The ease of use, integration with Salesforce, exportability of results, etc. Just basically has it hands down over the competition.
Chose FormAssembly
TargetX Forms is another option that I have. We decided to continue using FormAssembly due to the lack of features and flexibility available in TargetX Forms.
Chose FormAssembly
We have only used FormAssembly, once we were made aware of it by a consultant a few years ago. I checked the vendor recommendations against the Salesforce forums to see if it was recommended there and it was, plus I read the user-reviews on the AppExchange page. Once I got …
Chose FormAssembly
FormAsssembly is the leader in Salesforce integrated forms. It is the most powerful, dependable,and has the best Salesforce integration.
Chose FormAssembly
When we were researching options 2 years ago, FormAssembly beat other form tools hands down based on Salesforce integration features. The ability to declaratively set up prefill and post-submission data connectors supporting complex hierarchical data relationships was huge …
Jotform
Chose Jotform
Jotform is a more robust product. It offers more options for document creation and distribution. Very competitive pricing and much more cost effective than other products used.
Chose Jotform
Like I've mentioned previously, their branching logic is just not as sophisticated and can't do as much as I would like it to. Jotform lets you input specific data into a field based off different answers. This is great because it cuts down on how much a user actually has to …
Chose Jotform
Jotform is so much better than google sheets. You get the info right to your email as opposed to having to log into google sheets to get it.
Chose Jotform
Docusign did not allow you to create a template or provide templates, Textedly did not allow you to upload documents and/or modify.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is really just superior. More robust options and more flexability.
Chose Jotform
Jotform works better for our small business with the excellent free features
Chose Jotform
Not used any other products besides Google Forms.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is easier for the customers to use. They don't require any plug-ins or special procedures to be able to fill out the form and send it back to us. Adobe was more steps, and didn't always work as we expected. Making changes to the forms were also difficult after the fact.
Chose Jotform
More question types, conditions, calculated fields.
Chose Jotform
Allows anyone to use this platform
Chose Jotform
Jotform is so much more versatile that Google Forms, which we originally used. Google Forms was blocked by some of our users, where we have not had that problem with Jotform.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is an all-inclusive platform. Google lacks the features, templates, and form fields that are crucial in a form builder for any business. The branding and customization is a level far above what Google offers. I wouldn't go back to Google after working with Jotform as I …
Chose Jotform
Jotform looks more professional when the form is complete, I like being able to have questions side by side and on cards, as opposed to the stacked option google forms provides. I also like the logo addition and customisation options on Jotform. But the main advantage over …
Chose Jotform
I think it's better than mailchimp. Similar to Zapier in that it's just very sleak and user friendly but Jotform even more so. Wix is awesome too to be fair but yeah I'd say Jotform is up there with all of these. Better than mailchimp which can be really frustrating for me. …
Chose Jotform
API integration is smooth and possibility of customization are really really complete. Above all also the final user does not have problem in using the form
Chose Jotform
Google Forms and Microsoft SharePoint
Chose Jotform
We just cannot compare. Jotform is way ahead of the others: much more customization, options, logic... Jotform is just way better.
Chose Jotform
Docusign is more well known for signing legal documents across large enterprise but it was difficult to setup and get started on. Compared to Docusign, Jotform was much easier to build, design and create our first form which we were able to embed on our website straight away. …
Chose Jotform
Jotform's free tier seems stronger than some of the entry-level tiers of other products, which is why we decided to test it.

It's affordable, flexible, and does everything you need a form tool to do. It's not that hard to figure out, and an admin can start using it right away, without too much support. Their support documentation is very good, and we can find exactly what we need without much digging.

Pros
  • Salesforce prefill is a powerful way to prefill forms with records from Salesforce and prevent duplicate data entry.
  • Salesforce submission connector allows us to create some pretty complex and powerful logic to process form submissions into Salesforce data.
  • General form prefill options via query strings in the URL is a helpful feature.
  • The ability to use custom CSS and javascript on the page makes the forms very extensible and has been helpful to give us even more functionality.

  • The ease of use is my favorite part of the Jotform. You don't have to be an IT guru to use it, but the results of your creation will surely make people think you are.
  • Jotform keeps all my event request organized and accurate.
  • Editing forms is done with ease.

Cons
  • we could always use more styling options when it comes to the form builder
  • in our past use of the form builder when adding attachments to a form, there was an upload limit of 35MB. It would be great if this limit was increased.
Read full review
  • I would love for Jotform to offer an a la carte for some of the products like maybe we pay for more form views and submissions but not all the other stuff.
  • Flexibility in css.
  • More options in the name field, maybe I want the last name first or for it to be a full one entry box.
  • A phone number entry field.

One major point for us is our migration to a completely Microsoft infrastructure. IN addition to that, the afore mentioned need to ingest external data resources means that we do have our eyes open toward the landscape so that we can fill these needs. This in no way indicates a move away from FormAssembly: their support is first rate, and so far the product has always stood up to the tests we've put it through.

Usability
My perspective is mainly from IT delivery and operations, rather than from the students who entering data. the system is user-friendly, easy to navigate, and has excellent integration with Salesforce. While error handling could be improved, the support channel has limited capacity to maintain a good service level and lacks the ability to handle complex cases via conference call or screensharing.

It is very user-friendly and intuitive. The interface is very simple and straightforward. The elements are easily accessible even without having any prior knowledge of the interface. The customer support is incredibly awesome. They respond to you within 24-48hrs tops. They also provide a list of questions and answers that have already been asked.

Support Rating
While it's not a true development package and misses some features like ingestion of external data for lists, etc... the product is fast, stable, easy to use, and will suit the needs of anyone needing online form functionality with SalesForce and other connectors available for your marketing needs.

Their support is truly awful and negligent [in my opinion]. It's rare for me to get so mad as to write a review about it but given what we do, I think it's necessary to document it. We work in mental health and having client data [transmitted] through the API correctly can be a matter of life and death for someone in crisis. We have had repeated issues with this in JotForm and reset the integration multiple times and yet it continues. [In my experience] tags don't transmit, complete contacts are absent, or parts of data [are] missing despite being mapped. [Again, per my experience] their support will initially respond and then you hear nothing. It's been a huge issue and we are leaving them as a result. [I feel] it's truly infuriating and negligent.

Compared to Google and Microsoft, Jotform has a lot more features. I particularly love the e-signature because it makes the form feel more trustworthy for our team.
When compared to the other form builders, it is frankly too expensive for us to use them, while Jotform has just enough features for casual users like us.

  • FormAssembly makes it easy to share registration forms with targeted groups of users

  • It's very easy to create registration forms quickly

  • It saved me time. Within minutes I was able to create and share forms to collect demographic data.
  • While struggling to use another software, I thought of Jotform and it was able to assist me with collating the data I had to confirm results previously obtained.
  • I could not easily identify what new information was provided in a resubmission by a respondent.
