Joseph H
CEO - Owner
4.0

Joseph H.: My name is Joseph. I work as a real estate analyst for a small company, under 10 employees. And then I would rate my experience with JotForm as a four out of five. Ultimately, what we use JotForm is responding to customer and tenant inquiries, to quickly take in their information and then respond to their requests or concerns in a timely and promptly manner. Without a doubt, some of the best features of JotForm are, number one, the customizability. So you can ultimately create the form for any need that I have, as a business, of capturing information quickly. And then secondly, it's really easy to implement. It took me probably 10 to 15 minutes to get the form created, put on our website, and then actively opt to begin capturing information. And then the last thing is it integrates really well via API with a variety of different automated services. Ultimately, you can set it up, then not have to touch it and just start receiving information after you get that automation completed. Overall, my experience with JotForm was really positive. I think one thing that I would like to see within JotForm is if there's a template library, so ultimately just a collaboration of different users combining different JotForm templates that would be readily available. And so instead of creating one-off templates for each different use that I have, if there's a pre-made set of templates that are commonly used across different customers, I think it would be really helpful to just have that readily available to go ahead and use instead of having to create a new one each time.

Financial Adviser
5.0

Grant: Hi, my name is Grant. I'm a financial advisor. I'm the only one in my business and I give Nitro Pro five stars. Before I started using Nitro, I really didn't have any solutions. Adobe's got some pretty basic editing tools for free. There wasn't too much there. So Nitro really helped me to expand the amount of options I had to editing PDF documents. I really like Nitro because it's a one-off fee. You're not having to pay a subscription. You basically just pay a one-time license and you've got it for life. So I've been using my version for years. You do have the option to upgrade, but I haven't, but it effectively lets me do all the editing I need in documents. There's a huge amount of options that you do have. For me, I basically just use it to edit text and search for text on printed documents and things like that, and make little tweaks here and there, but it's got heaps of editing options for those who want to do a lot more. It's actually really, really easy to get started with Nitro. The user interface is pretty self-explanatory. There's not a lot to try and click through unless, again, you want to get through to the nitty-gritty, detailed features. But for those who just want to rotate documents, edit text, add text, all the simple kind of things, everything's super easy to use. So if you've been thinking about getting Nitro, one huge benefit over the traditional options is the fact that it is just a one-time fee as opposed to a subscription. It's got heaps of editing options. You can do the online signatures. It does have upgrades if you do need more features and functionality there, and if you need support, I've contacted them only once in the past, but they were really, really helpful when I needed them.
