We are using Zoho Forms to capture leads from our website to Zoho CRM; in the form of a contact form which is embedded with the live chat as well as in the contact us page or landing pages of different industries we provide services to. It is also being used to capture trouble tickets from our existing users which in turn initiates a ticket in Zoho Desk.
  • It is a drag and drop custom form builder.
  • It is able to send email/SMS and app notifications once it is submitted.
  • It integrates with other Zoho services like Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, etc.
  • The free version has only 1 user which should be at least 3 as with the case with all other Zoho apps.
  • The Zoho Forms website is not mobile friendly which is a disappointment.
  • As with the case with most of the apps of Zoho, "Control Panel" should be renamed to "Settings" as it cause confusion for new users.
Even if you cannot afford to pay for a Form builder, along with your CRM, i would strongly recommend Zoho Forms as it has the best mobile app as compared to other tools. The form submission notifications in the form of app notification, email or SMS is a very strong feature of Zoho Forms as well as other features like integration with other apps and form approval feature. However if you have 3 users for the free version of Zoho, only one of them will be able to use Zoho Forms which turns out to be a negative point of this app.

  • The biggest pain point we had was getting notified in time of form submission which Zoho Forms has solved and now we do not miss any form submission from a potential lead.
  • Our existing customers (50+) were using conventional methods to inform us about issues being faced which was a major hassle for us in providing good customer services. But thanks to Zoho Forms, we now document each issue properly, respond to it in a timely manner and get it resolved with the SLAs.
  • We have also used Zoho Forms to have our live chat channel integrated with Zoho Forms to be able to get a form submission from them instantly while chatting with our CSRs.
Customization of Bitrix24 forms was not as per our requirements (like additional form options/ease of customizing) which Zoho Forms has been able to solve. Also the notification of a form submission from a lead or existing customer was the major issue we faced with Bitrix24 but has been resolved by Zoho Forms.
The user interface and user experience is outstanding, seems like a lot of hard work has been put into it by the design, development and product teams. The fonts used are optimal, the icons and menu bars are well placed, the colors are very friendly to the eye and the standard white background is beautifully adjusted to the user expectations. The sliders are well designed and you can easily find whatever menu/option/feature you are looking for without much hassle.
So far we have not faced any issue while using the software but our customer journey has been breathtaking so far, which obviously i am expecting, should be the case of the support of Zoho Forms as well. However we have explored their support channels; you can easily find the contact us form in the profile slider and there are other resources available with a single click like Help Menu, What's New Menu, Blogs and Forums. However i could not find any live chat or support with the Free version.

From creating online forms to creating customizable surveys such as questionnaires, the software offers all that we need. In addition, it is easy to use, affordable. and easily integrates with other Zoho products. With Zoho Forms, it has been easy to gather customer feedback as well as handle some internal surveys.

  • Zoho is highly customizable
  • Sharing data online is easy thanks to the online forms
  • The survey templates make the tool easy to understand creating quick surveys is easy.
  • The software has been working well and I have had no major challenges navigating or using the software.

  • With Zoho Forms, it is easy to share data online thanks to the online forms feature
  • The software makes it easy to collect customer feedback which in turn makes it easy to better our business.
  • The software integrates well with other Zoho tools and this enhances the user experience.
Zoho Forms ideal because it is not only an online forms tool but also makes running surveys easy. It is also affordable and more resourceful compared to many of its competitors.
Using Zoho Forms is easy thanks to many training videos online, Besides, the user interface is one of the best. The templates also makes it even easier.
I have contacted the support team at least once and they proved to be very helpful. Also, they were timely in responding to my issues.

This software has benefited us in that it helps us receive feedback from our clients or prospects regarding services or new proposals. It allows us to segment business opportunities. In a simple way, we can create and share forms, and it also has some predesigned forms that you can easily customize according to your needs. It also allows us to embed it easily to the website.
  • Create and customize forms easily.
  • Share forms electronically.
  • Share forms by social networks.
  • Embed forms on a website.
  • You can create forms with digital signatures.
  • Statistical reports.
  • So far I have done well, I have had no problems.
  • In some cases, I would like to click on one of the registers and send an email.
  • A good idea would be an integration with Zoho Mail to create templates within the survey.
Zoho Forms is very useful in many scenarios. If you want to keep active in requesting information from customers then this software is an excellent alternative. It is very important for us to know the experience of the service offered to our customers. In the same way, this allows us to share these experiences.

  • Positive. Initially, we thought that customers would not answer the forms, but most do.
  • Positive. If you really want to improve your service, this is an excellent way to start.
  • Positive. Whenever we have new ideas, we consult with clients.

We use Zoho Forms within our website and chat software to generate lead forms, as support forms, and as scheduling forms. So Zoho Forms works across our entire organization. Zoho Forms makes it easy to gather info from our customers/leads, and since we integrate Zoho Forms with Zoho CRM, the info collected from our forms is passed on through the correct department and workflows are triggered. It's quite slick actually, and simple!
  • We use Zoho Forms as somewhat of a Support Ticket system to integrate with our Zoho CRM where we can manage Cases relative to our Deals
  • We use Zoho Forms inside of our email chat software (Zoho SalesIQ) where warranty claims can be made, which are integrated again with CRM so the correct person is notified inside CRM and can address the claim immediately.
  • We are using a Zoho Form as an appointment scheduler for product/service demo calls with Potentials/Leads. The form is hosted on our website and it's super simple to setup.
  • More and better design options would be nice. We keep our forms pretty basic, but maybe this is because some of the other design features seem a bit limited. In thinking about it, even if these features were available, we might stick with a simple form anyway.
  • The template options are okay but would like to see more Lead gen templates. This is something we would definitely look to integrate with our marketing campaigns.
If you are a Zoho CRM user this is a very useful app to use. The forms you can build in Zoho Forms are 10X better than what you can do in Zoho CRM, but you can still set up integrations with Zoho CRM so all your workflows can be carried out when forms are submitted. Forms are easy to create, and surprisingly the integration options and ease of integration set up make this a must-have app.

  • All positive. Zoho Forms is just another tool from the Zoho toolbox that adds value for us.
  • ROI is hard to say since we are a Zoho One user. Providing an amazing customer experience is what we strive for and this tool is part of that customer experience. It may have a small effect within our internal process but it is a customer facing and customer interaction point/application so it is crucial that it performs optimally.
Both mentioned services work great and have their own special features but ultimately the integration with the Zoho platform makes Zoho Forms work great for us. Google Forms are similar in they integrate with GApps nicely and are simple to create. Typeform, when evaluated, seemed to include much better design features and piping and logic features to create more intuitive forms however we get these features using Zoho Survey alongside Zoho Forms.

In my organization my marketing team use Zoho Forms as a marketing tool for our products and services. To collect our customers queries my marketing team create inquiry forms with the help of this tool. It is very easy to collect customers data with the use of this tool. and it works very fast which help us to save our time also.
  • Its feature of sending alerts in real time is my favorite feature. Whenever someone fills an inquiry form, I get alert immediately.
  • It has a mobile app also which makes this software usable at anytime and anywhere.
  • It's a cloud based application so users don't need so save anything on their system and they don't need to be dependent on their system. They can access their forms from any system.
  • It has limitations in terms of languages. It can be used in limited languages.
  • It doesn't offer much customization for creating an invoice.
  • They have limited number of templates which sometimes fails to fulfill my requirements in some cases where I need template of specific category.
I am using this software in my real estate company. I need to attach inquiry forms in web-pages and banners for online marketing of our projects. By using this I can get customers queries for my real estate projects. It helps me to collect customers data as well by using it as sign up form. It is also easy to maintain data with this software.

  • It helped me to grow my customer base by 50 percent in last 6 months.
  • It helped me in saving lot of money wastage in PPC(Pay Per Click) and google adsense by giving me unique responses.
  • New customers who we got through sign up forms added 30% to my last years revenue.
I chose this software because it is very well integrated with other Zoho products which I am using. Apart from this it has mobile applications also which allows me to use this software from my mobile devices when I am traveling for work. Its mail merge feature is also one of the important reason to choose this software.
