Formstack for Salesforce vs. Loopio

- Formstack for Salesforce excels in scenarios where organizations need to capture leads seamlessly. The platform's ability to create customized and branded lead generation forms, coupled with its direct integration with Salesforce, facilitates the smooth transfer of lead data into the CRM system. This is particularly beneficial for marketing teams running campaigns and events.- In scenarios where the primary goal is to collect basic contact information without the need for complex workflows or integrations, the comprehensive features of Formstack may be more than what is required. Simpler tools or solutions might be more appropriate for straightforward contact form needs.

I use Loopio specifically for RFP's mostly. I think it is a great and adequate tool for this and much of what I think that needs to improve are not large needle movers for me since the software as a whole is fantastic. It is very easy to upload an RFP into Loopio and begin answering those questions or pulling from previously answered questions. I also will use Loopio for large client proposals and I often use the "search functionality within Loopio to see if I can find answers to clients questions. I like that I can also pull images from Loopio as well and often use those visualizations in my proposals.

Usability is good but falls short of excellent. The interface is clean and well organized. They clearly spent some time working on the UI and took some feedback from focus groups to help keep it tidy. On a few occasions, we have experienced a little bit of lag while updating the question database. I'd like to see just a little faster response time on a consistent basis.

They're very supportive and reply in a timely manner. Whenever I contacted the support I received a helpful reply that actually solved my issue. Quite often when my team suggested an improvement that would simplify and speed up our work it happened not long after which is perfect for us.

Formstack has a lot of work to do to get up to Jotform standards. Jotform has more payment integration options which is a HUGE selling factor for us as far as which program to choose. They also offer more discounts for non-profits which we work with often. Formstack has some pros but Jotform is more elaborate
