I'm a professor at a university and I've been using Jotform for different use cases. For example, I've created an engaging Escape the Room game for my students using the existing template and then customizing it to my needs. I also created an interactive survey (game like) to study students preferences and how they manage their budget. The calculated field was very helpful as it allows me to show the students their remaining budget.
Pros
Conditions
Calculated fields
Format of fields
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend Jotform to make attractive surveys or game-based quests. However, if you expect to receive more than 100 entries per month, you need to consider your budget and whether you can afford the annual subscription.

I work for a school in Bhutan, we needed a way to digitalise our admissions process which was all paper forms. Using Jotform was the easiest way to include signatures, uploads, and a customisable form experience. I love being able to connect google sheets and have all the data in a spreadsheet too. We also used Jotform for creating incident forms for the school and a safeguarding form including images for children to fill out easily. I would highly recommend using Jotform for easy creation of forms and streamlining archaic processes.
Pros
integrating google sheets
easy form building
customisable layout and logo addition
Cons
more options for graded paid plans would be nice
Likelihood to Recommend
Jotform is ideal for any usual intake forms needed for administration or running of systems like safeguarding. We also used it to create incident forms for student behaviour. Google form integration is particularly useful for admissions, we are able to seamlessly have all the data on the admission form sync with a google sheet, allowing us to analyse data easily.
We are new to Jotform and so far are using it to create and manage our online student enrolment forms. We were after a solution where parents could provide information about themselves and their child while being able to provide their signature. Other solutions such as Docusign didn't fit our needs. Jotform has exceeded our expectations as we use the Google Calendar and Google Sheets integrations to automate data transfer. It embeds really well onto our website.
Pros
Embeds well onto websites
Well designed and stylish
Solid integrations across other well known platforms
Cons
The Google Sheets integration isn't that flexible. It just dumps the data. Would be good to be able to specify where.
Similarly, the Google Drive integration isn't too customisable. I can't dump the submission PDF's into a specific folder etc.
The Google Calendar integration is ok but would be great to be able to create reminders instead of events
Likelihood to Recommend
Jotform is really well suited for marketing and customer/lead data collection. It differs from other document extraction platforms such as Docusign which is much more formal. It is more well suited for small-medium sized businesses that require a combination of information collection and customer acknowledgement/contracts agreements, especially where data flow and integrations are important.

We use Jotform for students to register for a Coding and Filmmakers Academy within our district. We like how the platform allows us to send a confirmation email with additional information for the academy as well as schedule follow-up messages as the event comes closer. Creating a Jotform is also easy and there are several options for the type of data that we need to collect. Also, the data is exportable in a variety of ways and this allows us to use the data to create schedules for our academy.
Pros
Easy to create a form with various data points.
Data exports easily.
Forms can be duplicated.
Forms can be scheduled to activate and close on set dates.
Form limits for registration are easy to do.
Cons
This may be possible and just don't know how but would like to be able to take the info from Jotform and create a certificate without having to export data first.
Wish there was an educational version that districts could use for free or a discounted rate.
Would like to have the ability for people to cancel be a bit easier. Some parents have mentioned hard to cancel but this could just be a training piece we need to work on.

When you need to have students register for sessions or classes and want to also have the ability to send out follow-up information quickly Jotform allows you to do so. The ability to format emails that come as designated time is a nice feature and makes the prep work easier as you can create everything at once and not worry about having to go into the program for follow-up every day.
We use it to gather information about the organizational culture, the functioning of the teams, and the profile of the leaders.
Its design allows us to quickly design forms that have the functionality and aesthetics we are looking for. The answers can be easily downloaded to be processed in Excel. In all these years we have received very good customer service.
Pros
Form design tools
Variety of gadgets for the forms
Information download
Accesibility in pc, mac and cell phones
Cons
Forms for cellphone
Automatic Reports

We use Jotform for our Purchase Order approvals, team member staff files and basic CRM database. We found that Jotform provides easy to use platforms to help us manage traditional pen and paper admin functions in an efficient electronic format. We started using the basic functions and are now working more with some advanced functions that Jotform has to streamline our administrative work.
Pros
Electronic staff file - team member database that can fit in with BCE requirements in South Africa
Streamlining basic approval processes for Purchase Orders
Cons
Animate the approval process flow so a user can see what actions will take place. The linear diagram does give a great visual representation. I usually have to do a few test runs to check how the approval process works in real time.
If you have multiple pages in a form, you can't preview the pages directly. You need to first enter data on the preview form before going to the next page.
Likelihood to Recommend
I still need to see how customer contact information exports or integrates with bulk communication platforms.

We use Jotform for offline kiosk surveying of customers at events for feedback and lead acquisition. It's a little fiddly to make sure everything works offline, but when it's set up it works great and I can't recommend it highly enough. As it can be used offline it is great for places where wifi is not available, as is the case in some exhibition halls.
I have created two forms so far -- one for prospects, to qualify them for a call, and one for clients, to customize their experience at an event my company is hosting for them. My next form will be an application for sales professionals wanting to work with my company.
Pros
I love the ability Jotform gives me to customize the forms with my brand colors, as well as the overall format and different question types.
My favorite feature is the built-in conditional logic which allows me to change the thank you page based on answers given.
The Jotform interface is user-friendly and well-organized, and I love the form analytics and different "print form" options.
Jotform is a great product, and I honestly have no complaints!
Cons
I wish it was easier to change from "sign in with Google" to "sign in with an email" once you've made that initial choice.

Jotform has been really helpful in "filtering" applications to make sure I only get on the phone with quality leads.
