Likelihood to Recommend 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).
Read full review OpenText LiquidOffice would be most suitable if you engage or already use the large array of OpenText information management solutions; as integrations would be swift. From my experience LiquidOffice has been a successful investment to provide secure eForms from authenticated users. The PDF standalone forms are flexible enough to be opened on any browser or PDF viewer. It is a superb solution to collect and validate information from your audiences.
Read full review Pros 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). Read full review Form processes & routing - Makes it very easy at an enterprise level Integration with 3rd party & external forms Automation of forms with less coding making it useful for quick turnarounds Read full review Cons 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.

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.

Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review It's easy to use from both ends; form creator and the one filling the surveys. It's easy to view the forms from all browsers with ease. It's also simple to use due to the drag and drop process modelling to configure forms in minutes with smooth scripting and integration capabilities.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Not very good especially with its ever increasing feature set. It becomes a little clunky in the beginning. Although most of the features are easy to use, a basic tech support or training module could do wonders for the software
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review OpenText LiquidOffice's has a very simple to understand and relatively powerful form builder. The workflow designer is also very easy to pick up and requires users to have minimal training. OpenText Liquid Office does look a lot older than other products in its class though and I feel would benefit from a more fresh and modern design.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Ryan Spear Associate Director of Admission Operations
