Chose Formstack Documents
Formstack Documents [(formerly WebMerge)] has better overall integration with third-party integrators at a very competitive cost. That allowed us to have a broader range of choices than something like SharePoint at a better cost point than something like DocuSign. It was simple …
Chose Formstack Documents
We originally used Google Documents in Google Drive to create the same formatted word documents that included all relevant info. However, that method required a LOT of manual copy and pasting and was proving to be a huge time waste for the team, let alone unsustainable as we …

Formstack Documents integrates well with all of these other products, making workflow very streamlined and easy to manage.
Chose Formstack Documents
I use Zapier to integrate Formstack documents with Podio and Insuresign (now Formstack sign). All three applications work very well together, and I would recommend that anyone who is looking to use Formstack Documents also use Formstack Sign as well as Podio. Zapier is the …
Chose Formstack Documents
Each of the programs above answered a specific call to action. While each addressed a small portion of our need, they never quite fit the bill for what we needed. It was actually a representative from three of the ones above which selected WebMerge. They wanted to sell their …
Chose Formstack Documents
We have been trying to get information on DocuPanda and NiftyQuoter, however, these two tools are mostly oriented to create quotation and the setup is pretty complicated. If you are looking to create just quotation, you may try these two, but WebMerge has a better performance …

Likelihood to Recommend
[Formstack Documents (formerly WebMerge) is] well suited for a mid-size organization that has multiple data inputs and needs to provide structure and professional document generation. As helpful as it is, the cost would prevent smaller businesses from realizing the cost savings that a larger one will.

Pros
  • It consumes PDF applications and prefills them from a database or form. If your file is not in PDF form it can work from applications such as Microsoft Word.
  • It has logic that enables you to bundle applications based on criteria. For example you could bundle state specific applications with a new business applications if a state criteria is met.
  • It has several integrations partners in the fields of E Signature and Forms.

Cons
  • If you don't know anything about these types of programs, it can be hard to learn it at first. There is a bit of a learning curve, especially when you get into the designer. It looks like MS Word, but not as expansive.
  • Lingo. There have been times I've delved into the more complicated pieces and the lingo used wasn't easy to understand. This hasn't occurred much.
  • I would like it to keep up with current upgrades for MS Office, but I also realize they can't be trying to match other companies while trying to maintain the innovation of their own.

Return on Investment
  • Formstack was an absolute necessity for us and during our busy season, it saves our client team approx. 15 hours a week. This is MASSIVE and allows us to take on more clients.
  • Formstack wasn't crazy intensive to set up timewise, but it took a team member a day to set up and a few days of testing. Once it was set, we have no reason to look back unless we want to add something on.
