Jotform has been a superb platform for building forms and makes it so easy to design and build any kind of form for our work.
There have been times when my emails have either been rejected, or have ended up in a Client's SPAM folder as the I think Jotform may have been listed as SPAM.
It is easy to use, and the base model is free. The customization is wonderful, with the ability to create beautiful applications.
In the end I was unable to continue using it because it would crash for clients and they would need to fill things out again.
I am a big fan of JotForm, as it provides a reliable and secure platform that many of my clients in the digital marketing industry can use in a variety of ways.
There service is so bad, email me and I will happily pass along the examples of their incomptence.
The template were super easy to use and provided you with an excellent foundation to develop your form.
Sometimes, there are delays on the sender’s end showing that the form has been completed. It’s usually not long - a few minutes, at most, but it can be annoying when we’re on the spot.
This is a great alternative to some of the higher priced PDF software available. I need to edit documents before sending them out and the editing ability of Nitro is excellent.
Overall less than poor and I'm tired of no support and an expectation that I should pay for it...to reactivate on new computer.
And the best of all is that the program can convert scanned texts into editable texts, which is very useful if you work, like me, with daily documents.
Some forms and fields are not converted. Program crash sometimes that is quite annoying.
So far we are happy and satisfied with Nitro's performance. And all user's like the fact that they can convert to any file in just 1 click.
My only problem is the excel formatting does not come in the exact form. When converting, the process may fail and the tables formatted in excel never work in a pdf file.
The ease of being able to edit and revise .pdf files without having to convert to a different format is wonderful. I also love the "Quick Sign" feature that allows me to store multiple signatures.
Sometimes it will also convert the text in different fonts, but that may be just a user error as well.
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.
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.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
