Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the program to take meeting attendance. We create a QR code to the link and have people complete it when they arrive/log-on. We also use it as an embedded form on our website. It takes responses for donations and address updates, as well as other public information gathering.

Pros

  • ease of use
  • simple platform
  • embedded forms work well
  • links easily with Paypal

Cons

  • sometimes getting responses are clunky
  • figuring out how to have it send email responses can be clunky

Return on Investment

  • frees up time for staff to do other things
  • streamlines responses

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it on our website so candidates can apply to our job openings. We have several opened positions and we have a Wufoo form in each. It allows us to review candidates and also gather data. We also use it inside our online courses since it can be integrated very easily.

Pros

  • Customize forms
  • Export data
  • Modify existing forms
  • Integrate forms to websites and courses

Cons

  • The design could be a little more customizable
  • The design could be more dynamic

Return on Investment

  • The forms have allowed us to make a better applicant filtering, allowing us to weed out not suited candidates right away.
  • Automatic responses allows us an increase in sales.

Wufoo - Funny name but it makes forms easy and professional

Incentivized

Chief Executive Officer in Corporate at USEmergAlerts Incident Notification Service. (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • Very user-friendly. I think a 10-year-old can create a form with ease. That's how simple it is.
  • Customer service is very prompt. I've never had any issue with being assisted.

Cons

  • I think the monthly submissions should increase. As of now, you get 100 submissions per month. That's not a whole lot.
  • I would like it if the Submissions that are emailed out would come in HTML format instead of text format. Sometimes it can be a little confusing.

Return on Investment

  • User-friendly.
  • Customizable.

Wufoo: Budget-friendly, flexible forms

Incentivized

CEO (Chief Executive Officer) in Marketing at Simply Heaven Design (1-10 employees employees)

Pros

  • Flexible, multiple entry forms: Wufoo allows users to create forms with multiple options or formats (radio, single choice, checkbox, text, paragraph text)
  • Conditional forms: Need to ask a question that only applies to a specific group? Then Wufoo is for you - it allows you to create conditional logic that allows you to reserve specific paths for specific entrants.
  • Integrations: Wufoo integrates with EVERYTHING via Zapier. You can sync it to Google sheets, email ESPs / CRMs, payment gateways... All kinds of applications for this software with its flexible uses & integrations, including embeddable HTML or direct integration to your website.

Cons

  • Visual / Design: The visual UX is kind of boxy and very basic. It feels a little like typewriter on plain type paper. (You can customize the form with custom HTML, but for our applications, it's not worth hiring a designer for that.)
  • Composing the form / form builder: Sometimes the user navigation & guidance in selection isn't so straightforward. You can figure it out, but it might take you a trial and miss to get exactly the option that you're looking for.
  • There's a way for you to redirect your form and create conditional paths for users that move through your form - but this area is separated from the form building area itself, so it's easy to create a form and then miss this part of the form building (you have to look for it, and you have to be diligent about checking this in process as you edit your form.)

Return on Investment

  • Positive for us: This software has saved us many, many hours and helped us systemize our business.
  • Positive for our clients: This software has saved THEM many, many hours and helped us better understand their audiences or demographics when we wanted to know more.
