Chose Formstack Forms
I feel like Formstack is Google Forms on steroids. They both serve the same purpose and I have more experience using Google Forms but feel like I have more resources at my disposal with Formstack. Honestly, these are 2 only products I would use in this category, with Formstack …
Chose Formstack Forms
Wufoo and Formstack are very similar - almost as if they were built by the same company or ex-employees. Except Formstack UI was better and modern at least when we selected it. While the team was happy with Wufoo and SurveyMonkey, our IT team picked Formstack based on their …
Chose Formstack Forms
We used Survey Monkey previously and the process of pulling data, reporting, and integrating the data was much easier and faster. The page logic let us shorten the end-user experience, and the layout and design were significantly improved. Our end-users reported a better user …
Chose Formstack Forms
Flexibility, tools and ROI are the reasons we chose Formstack. Data being exportable to other tools and systems we use also helped to make this determination. The level of complexity and conditional logic it has even at its most basic levels gives it an edge over most …
Chose Formstack Forms
I found Blackbaud NetCommunity to have a much steeper learning curve, and to be fairly expensive. I opted to use Formstack instead, which meant exporting/importing data with some regularity.
Chose Formstack Forms
Formstack just had more versatility. We had to start in a rush and they gave us what we needed to hit the ground running. They didn't delay or bog us down with complicated sales pitches, and didn't leave us in the dark on what to do. We didn't need to google how to use the …
Chose Formstack Forms
I am not aware of other competitors out there to FormStack other than modules or plug-ins deployed on WordPress or Drupal built sites. I do think that forms deployed through marketing automation platforms (HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot) are better alternatives due to the if-then …
Chose Formstack Forms
I didn't evaluate any other products.
Chose Formstack Forms
For run of the mill data collection, I have used Google Forms, Office 365 Excel Forms, and SharePoint lists. And in WordPress I have used Gravity Forms.

Google Forms and Office 365 are nice tools with not nearly the same feature-set available from Formstack. While they are …
Chose Formstack Forms
Formstack proved to be more robust, easier to use and friendlier to work with when questions/issues emerged.
Chose Formstack Forms
Formstack was much easier to use. Drag and drop creation made organizing and reorganizing easy. Forms were easy to brand and looked professional. Easy field creation and the breadth of field options made Formstack the forerunner.
Chose Formstack Forms
I've created multiple webforms from scratch & the Formstack API is much more efficient in both creating and managing/updating forms. When I was initially evaluating products (about a dozen or so), Formstack had the cleanest interface and most third-party integrations (payments, …
Chose Formstack Forms
I have began switching over to Form Assembly for our new sales cycle but have not started using it yet. I cannot give a good product evaluation or comparison because Formstack is the only product I have used.
Chose Formstack Forms
Drupal is a much more customizable platform, however you must have someone build the forms first and then you can work with them if you do not have the programming knowledge. If you have any changes to make, it can sometimes be both a time consuming and difficult process. …
Chose Formstack Forms
I have never used anything like Formstack before!
Chose Formstack Forms
We have found that no other software gives us the freedom that Formstack does to be creative in our form building. Formstack has by far the most user-friendly interface of any other product we have used. We especially like the Digital Signature, SubAccounts and Calculating …
Chose Formstack Forms
Formstack allows for multiple users and provides a cleaner UI with richer features and automatic data analysis. GoogleForms is a free alternative, but offers none of these features.

Formstack
Formstack makes it easy to create a variety of forms. I have used it for event interest and registrations, email list sign-ups, and surveys. I have found it easy to customize, and easy to export data for import into other systems (e.g., CRM).

Pros
Formstack
  • Allows for unique situations. As a school, we don't have the luxury of being cookie cutter. Neither do our forms.
  • Support. If we don't know how to do it, their support team has been very helpful and actually attempts to understand the issue on hand.
  • User friendliness. In our field we have a phrase: "what if you get hit by a bus?" With Formstack, you can "get hit by the bus" and someone else can jump in and still keep things running (this is used as a phrase for illness, not termination).

Cons
Formstack
  • Setting up our multi-step form took some getting used to. Some of the branching logic configuration wasn't as intuitive as would be ideal.
  • Since we were pushing data directly into Hubspot, I found it cumbersome to deal with data storage limits within Formstack. I would get frequent notices that new responses were not being stored in Formstack and that I needed to upgrade or delete data. I got tired of that.
  • More/easier support for custom fonts would have been a huge plus. We were able to customize the form's appearance, but had to make some concessions in that regard.

Our user base has come to rely on Formstack to get forms done. The Formstack tools make it easy to start from scratch or copy an existing form to "quick start" a new, similar form. The price is right and frees up IT staff to do more transformative work.

Usability
Formstack
I give it this rating because Ali feel like just about anyone can use this. Now with 7 billion people in the work I understand that’s not the case but I feel like Formstack get it pretty simple where a majority of humans could use it and navigate through. The only reason I didn’t give it a higher rating is because I think Google Forms is a little easier to use and that it’s pretty much impossible for any product to get a 10 on usability in my opinion.

Support Rating
Formstack
The agents in the original group, especially the ones in cahoots with the developers, are really solid and know what they're talking about--I'm looking at you, Collin. The 'Tier 1' support agents that typically reply to the tickets are really spotty. If you have an overly technical question, i.e. bugfix, or describe a feature from a few years back that randomly disappeared, these agents typically will give you what feels like a generic reply and not know what you're talking about.

We implemented on one of the earlier versions. Through continuous engineering improvements, the interface keeps getting easier and more intuitive. Therefore, later implementations keep getting easier and better.

Drupal is a much more customizable platform, however you must have someone build the forms first and then you can work with them if you do not have the programming knowledge. If you have any changes to make, it can sometimes be both a time consuming and difficult process. Formstack is much more efficient if you do not have an in house programmer.

Return on Investment
Formstack
  • Positive - ability to analyze submission trends - e.g. when a marketing email is sent, looking at increased form viewing and submissions in relation to the sending of the campaign.
  • Immediate response - those that submit forms receive immediate response that their form has been submitted.
