Solid, dependable and powerful
I have built a fully comprehensive digital paperwork system with Forms on Fire for a client. It has transformed their business, automating many manual tasks and saving dozens of hours every month ongoing. The return on investment is off the charts. I also love the fact that the support is so responsive and helpful, even when it's a complex question I rarely need to explain more than once, and answers are timely and helpful, often going the extra mile.
Pros
The best thing about Forms on Fire is the flexibility. It's a blank canvas, you can create any type of form you require. With a little bit of technical knowledge it can be made extremely powerful. I appreciate the fact that it isn't aimed at consumers, as other form builder tools are, so it goes straight to the powerful functions needed in a business environment.
Cons
The built in data dashboards and analytics are adequate but not amazing. However these can be bypassed by exporting data to another platform using the integrations or API, and custom dashboards and reporting can be built there.
Response from Forms On Fire
Geoff, we are amazed at what you built, it's a great example of going way beyond forms to a fully data-driven application. Thanks for the kind words!

I almost don't want more people to know about it because I look so smart for using it.
Without a hint of exaggeration, this may be the smartest move I've made in my 25-year career. I look like a genius for using it and every team I've introduced it to loves it. We are able to do incredible things as an organization we wouldn't be able to do without FOF. This is a hill I will die on. It's the most important product in our tech stack.
Pros
Customizable through and through. It may as well be an entirely customizable, in-house development we have so much control over it.
Cons
I don't know, that it's not free? Lol. Seriously, this thing is amazing and the team at FOF is even better to work with, not that we need them much it's so easy to use.

Easier work flow for our employees and customers.
We have had less than a year experience, but so far this exceeds our expectations. Forms On Fire is easier to onboard our people with and it feels less clunky than what we were doing. It takes less attention to maintain and setting up feels much more automatic. Good flow.
Pros
The help with onboarding was great. They did a lot of work to make sure we were set up properly. Very responsive.
Cons
Nothing really. We came over from a competitor and whole experience improved.

Smooth interface but technical issues frequently come up
Pros
The software is easy to use, clean interface, and alerts me when I am missing required information
Cons
There are frequent problems whenever we try to make an update, things don’t seem to work how we expected them to. Also the documents this platform generates seem to be missing items and we can’t figure out how to fix this.

Forms on Fire made managing complex and dynamic data flows easy and straightforward. It's an investment which is worth every penny.
Pros
Forms on Fire offered to build first form which was great. We can collect data from 14 different organizations in real time and can assess performance easily. Tutorials and walkthroughs of the site were fantastic. When compared with 4 other competitors Forms on Fire had the best quality product. Customer service has been very impressive to date. I would recommend Forms on Fire for any firm looking to build an infrastructure to manage lots of complex information across different organizations and streamline processes.
Cons
No drawbacks, Forms on Fire is fantastic!

Data collection made easy
I have been using Forms on Fire for almost 7 years in my job at an international engineering firm and cannot speak highly enough of this product! I have designed forms from basic single-page fill-in-the-blank type forms to incredibly complicated multi-page forms using pre-populated repeating tables, subforms, and even approval steps. I am not a coder but have been able to design forms that do everything my clients have asked, including making stepwise decision-making fields. Some of our field techs have been resistant to using digital forms but most of them report back that they love how easy-to-use the forms are and they don’t ever want to go back to paper. The project managers are equally enthusiastic about the data they receive since they no longer have to decipher handwriting or deal with entries that do not conform to their requirements. My company’s firewall does not allow direct posting to SQL so we had to use the API and go through the Sync connector. Forms on Fire support was very helpful through this process, working with our IT department to get everything set up correctly. In fact, the support team has always been wonderful, responding quickly with suggestions or work-arounds whenever I have gotten stuck on a complicated solution. If you need to collect data in any remote setting, you can not go wrong with Forms on Fire.
Pros
It's easy to learn and easy to use. You can make edits without interrupting field team. You can get your data in practically any way you need it. The data is clean and consistent.
Cons
My only complaint is that I can't use the repeating table with a repeating table with the Sync SQL connector - I have many projects that could use this. I do have a work-around (subforms) so I can deal with it but sure would be nice!
Response from Forms On Fire
Thank you so much for your detailed and positive review! We're thrilled to hear about your successful experience with Forms on Fire over the past 7 years and how our platform has been instrumental in your projects at the international engineering firm.
Regarding your feedback about the limitation with the Sync SQL connector and repeating tables, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We're excited to let you know that integrating repeating tables with the SQL connector is currently in development and will be included in a future update. We believe this enhancement will make your projects even more streamlined and efficient.
Thank you again for your support and for being such a valued member of the Forms on Fire community. We look forward to continuing to serve your data collection needs with even more functionality!

The best customizable app for businesses
Overall, Forms on Fire is a great program and really helped elevate our company. With the ease of use, and the simplicity of it, we were able to switch all of our divisions to the app seamlessly. Our customers are happy, and we were able to minimize issues and complaints with them.
Pros
The ease of customization on the app for our technicians. It was so easy to learn how to code and build the paperwork and app form. The customer service team was so quick to respond when I had a question about my form.
Cons
Sometimes, it takes a few minutes for the paperwork to come through once our technicians submitted. Thy sometimes have to press the "force sync" button or leave the app open.
Response from Forms On Fire
We're genuinely touched by your kind words and thrilled to know how much Forms On Fire has positively impacted your company. It warms our hearts to hear about the seamless customization experiences of your technicians and how our customer service team has been there for you right when you needed us.

A goood software to create customizable forms and streamline their data collection processes.
Formsonfire is a flexible and user-friendly data collection and workflow automation tool that can help businesses streamline their operations and improve their efficiency.
Pros
The platform allows businesses to create customized forms and workflows that are tailored to their specific needs, and can be used across a range of industries and use cases. Additionally, Formsonfire provides users with a range of tools and features that can help them automate their processes, such as email and SMS notifications, integrations with third-party tools, and real-time reporting.Another advantage of using Formsonfire is its ease of use. The platform is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, with a drag-and-drop form builder that makes it easy to create and customize forms. Additionally, Formsonfire provides users with a range of templates and pre-built forms that can be used as a starting point, saving time and reducing the learning curve.
Cons
While Formsonfire offers a range of pricing plans that are designed to be accessible to businesses of all sizes, the cost can add up quickly if you require a large number of forms or advanced features.Another potential issue with Formsonfire is its limited offline functionality. While the platform does allow users to collect data offline, there are some limitations to what can be done without an internet connection. This may be a concern for businesses that operate in areas with limited connectivity or require real-time data collection and reporting.
Response from Forms On Fire
Thank you so much for your review. Working offline is built-in to the product but will have limitations. We have some clients who are using the product with live emergency systems and they use advanced wireless systems to remain online. Reach out to our support organization if you'd like some recommendations on these types of systems.

Streamline processes
My experience with Forms on Fire has been very positive. The customer support has been exceptional; it is affordable and easy for the end user to navigate.

The time saved by implementing and using Forms on Fire more than covered the cost of the subscriptions and initial set-up fees.
Cons
When the back end has issues and process change without notice.

Make Forms That Make Everyone's Life Easier!
Pros
I'm a CODiE Award judge and have seen a ton of product. Forms On Fire are clearly mobile experts and have built a product that solves a core problem: how to create forms that make everyone's life easier - starting with yours!
(No need to hire an army of SW developers who'll take months, only to add so much complexity that end-users won't use them.)
In my opinion, here are some best use cases:
Marketing & Finance Execs have 100's of new projects requiring input from multiple key stakeholders, critical dependencies and conflicting deadlines (activations, email campaigns, events, trade shows, surveys, new product launches, press releases, content updates etc..). Collaboration meetings are endless, the teams out straight and deadlines are near. The last thing anyone wants to do is fill out a form - unless you can make one that's easy and adds to their productivity, rather than subtracts.
Formsonfire let's you create a form for repeatable tasks that you can also pre-set to be sent to the parties you choose to, at the schedule you need.
Its intuitive design, the fanatically customer-centric support team and library of visual tutorials, ensure the form you envisioned is exactly what you get. Only you know how your key stakeholders' world works. You can make it easy for them, and they'll make life easier for you.
In today's gig economy, (Lyft, Uber, Instacart, Postmates, Jobble etc.),HR onboards 100's or staff, quickly and accurately. Formsonfire's the answer!
Cons
I was able to get started without contacting them for any help. But more tutorials are always welcome.

Forms on Fire - First Project Review
We were addressing many business needs on the marketing demos side and can now coordinate those into efficiencies. Then merge that into analytics to drive business needs and strategies.
Pros
Format is very easy to use. Easy to save and return access. Easy for users navigate and easy for developer to build.
Cons
Compared to other migration projects I really cannot answer this question at this time. We literally built, tested, and had users operational in week and that was with the education time. The instructor in this case was [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and he seems to have the right combination to coach/train developers like me that have just been introduced to the tool prior to the project development.

Pros
Easy to use for all levels of the business. Automatically send a PDF to your network drive when all approvals are completed. Works well on iPhone and Windows 10.
Cons
We should be able to select multiple data "Forms" when exporting data in Table View.
Response from Forms On Fire
Thank you for the review. This is an excellent idea! One thing to consider is designing the forms you want to export as a single form, using our data-driven capabilities. The other is to hold a data warehouse where the same table captures data from many or all of your forms. This is entirely possible to do if you utilize the JSON data type. Please set something up with your assigned program manager and they can review the details with you! :)

Forms On Fire saved the day
As a consultant serving a rapidly growing business, I needed a technology I could count on for reliability, scalability, easy configuration, and ease of maintenance. We didn't have the budget for a custom-code software project or to buy a big ERP solution. We had some internal processes and some customer-facing processes that needed to be standardized, controlled, and mobilized to improve our performance against the bottom line and to strengthen our competitive edge.
After a great deal of searching, I found Forms On Fire. The incredible flexibility and power of the Forms On Fire platform gave us everything we needed at an incredibly competitive price. One of the greatest things about it is the ease with which we can make changes to and manage the solution ourselves. That was an essential requirement that we had a hard time finding elsewhere.
We needed something that could operate smoothly on our mobile devices. Some of our team are using tablets, some on smartphones, and all on a mixture of Android and iOS operating systems. We needed a solution to connect reliably to two external data systems, output PDF documents , and automatically send multiple emails throughout workflow processes. In the past, such a list of requirements would have been extremely expensive to produce and would have required contracting with software developers. When I found Forms On Fire I was elated because I knew I could take care of my client successfully and that many future projects would be a breeze.
My clients often see technology implementations as expensive, time-consuming and risky. Forms On Fire really came through and showed us how painless it can be. Their customer service is outstanding and it helps to have competent, responsive help only a phone call away when you're dealing with the information backbone of a business.
If you have been searching for something to enable and mobilize your business, Forms On Fire is the best answer I have found. I look forward to further work with them.

Value for money
My business has become 100% more organized thanks to this app; I got exactly what I wanted for a much cheaper price than what others quoted me; the Forms on Fire staff are very friendly, caring and responsive.
Pros
It was customized specifically for my business through one on one consultations and design planning. The price was very affordable compared to the regular cost of developing and maintaining an app.
Cons
Look of the menus, etc could be updated to be a little more modern looking but it's not a big deal. Also more data sorting options can be added.

We have had a couple glitches mostly with time issues, but overall the product has worked well.
Ease of doing forms online in the field
Pros
Once you learn the program it is easy to use. The setup is easy to use with tablets in the field.
Cons
There is a learning curve on creating the forms. When there is an error in your form it is not always easy to trace back. I also think that the program is the most glitchy when I am creating a large form.

Hello Elizabeth, thank you for your feedback. If you think there is ever a glitch, please send an immediate email to [email protected]. We are happy to help you. Also, for your large form, please reach out and we'll give you a complimentary 1 hour help on your large form.

Easy and quick to use!
This gives my company a quick, consistent paperwork and forms to give our resident's that way someone can have the form they need at a quick time! We also use this to schedule pest control for our residents and that seems to relay the information they need as well.
Pros
I love how easy this software is to use! I never used this software before and when I was trained on it, it was so quick to understand and the items I need are at a quick access!
Cons
Sometimes I have to force sync to get what I want to pull up, but nothing too hard to do!
