Likelihood to Recommend
We use Alpha Anywhere to develop large scale business applications. So far, we haven't found any real limitations. This is exemplified by my response to my customers who frequently ask, "Is it possible..." I always interrupt them before this sentence goes any further by telling them, "with our development platform, anything's possible" (then we have to discuss whether the time/cost is worth the added benefit of what they're requesting).

From my perspective, ProntoForms happens to be a convenient tool giving our service techs the ability to accurately record issues and document customer locations. It is also a versatile tool in that we have used for vehicle inspection, fleet maintenance (service tech's trucks), shipping checklists, checklists of equipment updates and documentation, site eval forms, project completion, and request for quote forms.

Usability
No answers on this topic
As Prontoforms markets itself as a low code, user-friendly drag and drop solution, it definitely excels in the area of user experience. While those who are more on the technical side will appreciate the standard options available as part of its custom integration tools. The learning curve has never been an issue.

The customer support for pronto forms was great for me in the only instance that I have had to use it. I called the phone number for ProntoForms customer support, they were quick with the correct answer for me and very reassuring.

Alternatives Considered
I stopped evaluating alternate products several years ago as Alpha Anywhere has continued to develop and keep up with technological advances to my satisfaction. Having made the decision to focus development with Alpha Anywhere, I have not looked back and continue to develop at pace for my existing and growing client base.

While ProntoForms is specialized (and probably better suited) for the field service environment, Smartsheet is a more well-rounded solution that has a lot more features that can be utilized in other areas or teams. Smartsheet also has a shorter learning curve due to its MS Excel-like flexibility with formulas. However, Smartsheet is better suited for simple form recording with limited integration options compared to Prontoforms.
