Likelihood to Recommend
FormAssembly has been an essential tool to have in our back pocket. It's best when you need a form quickly and can compromise on some of the dynamic elements that would be possible in Visualforce. It serves a particularly critical need when skilled developers are at a premium, but clever admins are available.

With a vast selection of pre-designed templates to choose from, ranging from event registrations to customer feedback surveys, JotForm caters to a broad spectrum of needs. Each template is fully customizable, allowing you to align the form's aesthetics with your brand identity effortlessly. JotForm has arrived to streamline and elevate your processes to a whole new level.

Pros
  • SalesForce integration is really nice. You can map to specific fields with form values, or you can use detailed formulas. You can also choose to bypass assignment rules on a per-form basis, and create customized logic for when cases are created, when leads are created/merged, etc. It's very robust.
  • Form creation in general is very simple. They've gotten good over the years of creating an intuitive, drag and drop interface that's quick to edit. I like that you can also assign values to fields so conditional form building gets easy.
  • I like that you can customize how responses are viewed in the response window. Choose what columns show up so you can find records with ease, and with just one glance. OR you can download everything to excel in a snap too.

  • The ease of use is my favorite part of the Jotform. You don't have to be an IT guru to use it, but the results of your creation will surely make people think you are.
  • Jotform keeps all my event request organized and accurate.
  • Editing forms is done with ease.

Cons
  • The information coming from Salesforce to use in the choices for an answer does not always appear as needed. (API vs name).
  • Ability for Admins to see and edit every user's forms. This would be useful in the event that someone is no longer with the institution.
  • When a form is cloned, it would be nice if the connector were also cloned but not active. This would allow us to verify and turn on without having to rebuild everything.

  • I would love for Jotform to offer an a la carte for some of the products like maybe we pay for more form views and submissions but not all the other stuff.
  • Flexibility in css.
  • More options in the name field, maybe I want the last name first or for it to be a full one entry box.
  • A phone number entry field.

One major point for us is our migration to a completely Microsoft infrastructure. IN addition to that, the afore mentioned need to ingest external data resources means that we do have our eyes open toward the landscape so that we can fill these needs. This in no way indicates a move away from FormAssembly: their support is first rate, and so far the product has always stood up to the tests we've put it through.

Usability
Given how many sophisticated features appear in the form builder itself, the back-end management can feel strikingly skimpy at times. More dynamic or visually appealing confirmation messages/email notifications would realign these with the existing capabilities of the forms themselves. This is a small issue though because data capture is our primary priority in form fills and it is always excellent in Salesforce!

It is very user-friendly and intuitive. The interface is very simple and straightforward. The elements are easily accessible even without having any prior knowledge of the interface. The customer support is incredibly awesome. They respond to you within 24-48hrs tops. They also provide a list of questions and answers that have already been asked.

While it's not a true development package and misses some features like ingestion of external data for lists, etc... the product is fast, stable, easy to use, and will suit the needs of anyone needing online form functionality with SalesForce and other connectors available for your marketing needs.

Their support is truly awful and negligent [in my opinion]. It's rare for me to get so mad as to write a review about it but given what we do, I think it's necessary to document it. We work in mental health and having client data [transmitted] through the API correctly can be a matter of life and death for someone in crisis. We have had repeated issues with this in JotForm and reset the integration multiple times and yet it continues. [In my experience] tags don't transmit, complete contacts are absent, or parts of data [are] missing despite being mapped. [Again, per my experience] their support will initially respond and then you hear nothing. It's been a huge issue and we are leaving them as a result. [I feel] it's truly infuriating and negligent.

Had to opt for Jotform to open in a separate window for some of my phones as being intergrated into my own site caused restricted viewing problems on some devices like mobiles.

Alternatives Considered
Form Assembly allows for advanced data mapping, pre-filling forms with Salesforce data, and working with custom objects. FormAssembly excels in Salesforce Integration, as it is highly specialized and deeply integrated. Often considered the industry leader for Salesforce forms, Formstack has strong integration, but may not offer the same level of granular control as FormAssembly.

Compared to Google and Microsoft, Jotform has a lot more features. I particularly love the e-signature because it makes the form feel more trustworthy for our team.
When compared to the other form builders, it is frankly too expensive for us to use them, while Jotform has just enough features for casual users like us.

Return on Investment
  • FormAssembly allows for us to take manual spreadsheet driven processes and standardize them in a scalable manner.
  • FormAssembly allows for our customers to own a process of sales (print shipment allocations) that previously our reps were burden with.
  • FormAssembly integrates well with our TechStack.

  • It saved me time. Within minutes I was able to create and share forms to collect demographic data.
  • While struggling to use another software, I thought of Jotform and it was able to assist me with collating the data I had to confirm results previously obtained.
  • I could not easily identify what new information was provided in a resubmission by a respondent.
