FormAssemblyZoho Forms
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 …
Zoho Forms
Chose Zoho Forms
Zoho Forms I found to be more affordable (free tiers works for many businesses). They offered solutions that fit the need & didn't limit features like some of the other services trying to upsell. Jotform offers a lot more add-on features or widgets and has an interesting …
Chose Zoho Forms
Customization of Bitrix24 forms was not as per our requirements (like additional form options/ease of customizing) which Zoho Forms has been able to solve. Also the notification of a form submission from a lead or existing customer was the major issue we faced with Bitrix24 but …
Chose Zoho Forms
Zoho Forms is just as good as Google Forms. I believe that ZF is easier to use. I have not used GF as extensively as ZF. I will be evaluating GF in the very near future. I selected ZF mainly because it easily integrates with its own Zoho applications quickly and with very …
Chose Zoho Forms
Both mentioned services work great and have their own special features but ultimately the integration with the Zoho platform makes Zoho Forms work great for us. Google Forms are similar in they integrate with GApps nicely and are simple to create. Typeform, when evaluated, …
Chose Zoho Forms
I chose this software because it is very well integrated with other Zoho products which I am using. Apart from this it has mobile applications also which allows me to use this software from my mobile devices when I am traveling for work. Its mail merge feature is also one of …
Chose Zoho Forms
None of the above products integrate directly with a powerful CRM such as Zoho CRM. That is the main selling point for me. There is manual entry into your email list if you are not using their product but that is very minor compared to how much less data entry we complete with …

FormAssemblyZoho Forms
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Zoho Forms is well suited for anyone wanting to track items from a specific event or feedback at the conclusion of an event. It is also well suited to track responses. Zoho Forms is less suited for the scenarios where official approval is required because the forms are meant for a single user, and not to be filled out by one person, and then forwarded to another to document the approval. It would also not be good to replace an excel or word document to submit to another department requesting a part number for a new product because again once the form is submitted there is not a way for the second party to 'Update' the existing form and add the part number assigned by the second party.

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.

  • Its feature of sending alerts in real time is my favorite feature. Whenever someone fills an inquiry form, I get alert immediately.
  • It has a mobile app also which makes this software usable at anytime and anywhere.
  • It's a cloud based application so users don't need so save anything on their system and they don't need to be dependent on their system. They can access their forms from any system.

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
  • So far I have done well, I have had no problems.
  • In some cases, I would like to click on one of the registers and send an email.
  • A good idea would be an integration with Zoho Mail to create templates within the survey.

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 easy to use & straight forward for a tech or non-tech user. It is very easy to distribute the form & collect data to evaluate. Lots of features to make the form unique or to collect data in many ways (sliders, wheels, more than just typed data entry). Works great on desktop or mobile devices as well.

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.

So far we have not faced any issue while using the software but our customer journey has been breathtaking so far, which obviously i am expecting, should be the case of the support of Zoho Forms as well. However we have explored their support channels; you can easily find the contact us form in the profile slider and there are other resources available with a single click like Help Menu, What's New Menu, Blogs and Forums. However i could not find any live chat or support with the Free version.

Return on Investment
  • FormAssembly makes it easy to share registration forms with targeted groups of users
  • It makes it easy to track registration numbers and form errors and reach out to people who may need assistance
  • It's very easy to create registration forms quickly

  • The biggest pain point we had was getting notified in time of form submission which Zoho Forms has solved and now we do not miss any form submission from a potential lead.
  • Our existing customers (50+) were using conventional methods to inform us about issues being faced which was a major hassle for us in providing good customer services. But thanks to Zoho Forms, we now document each issue properly, respond to it in a timely manner and get it resolved with the SLAs.
  • We have also used Zoho Forms to have our live chat channel integrated with Zoho Forms to be able to get a form submission from them instantly while chatting with our CSRs.
