    Cognito Forms
    It's excellent for small sets of forms, from simple to highly complex It's not good at scale. With over 170 forms now, we desperately need some way to manage and maintain shared content once Cognito does not help. Their approach is that you can copy a working form (great) and modify it to create the next one. That's how we've got so many forms...

    In my opinion, the customer service is a big let down. I think the product is decent. Imagine spending 3 weeks and not being supported for onboarding which, in my experience, is rarely seen in today's time. So we do not recommend the product

    We have been using Cognito Forms for over 5 years. We find it very easy use and it is part of the programs we use on a daily basis.

    Cognito Forms
    Very friendly and helpful, but typically takes at least one day to respond. However, when they do respond they dive right into the specific form I ask about and tell me exactly how to fix what I need help with

    Return on Investment
    Cognito Forms
    • We've been able to get away from Word and pdf forms and build a functionality that is conditional on form content
    • The speed of getting a good-enough version up and running to meet an immediate business need is outstanding
    • The cost of improving a set of almost good-enough forms or propagating a change in business rules is depressing
