Ray: Hi, I'm Ray. I'm president of a trade association. I give ABBYY Reader a five out of five. For more reviews, click below. I like ABBYY Reader because it's a very quick and easy way to edit PDF documents as well as view them. I use it as my default viewer, but I also use it to edit documents and find it very useful. What I like the most about ABBYY FineReader is the compare documents function that allows me to compare two different PDF documents without converting the documents to any other format. It highlights the changes for me and allows me to save time that otherwise I would spend trying to compare documents line by line. There really isn't anything that I would change about this ABBYY FineReader. It is the perfect solution for my business. We are in the business of dealing with legislation and so looking at multiple versions of bills, it's very important to be able to tell what the changes are. And that's what we find most useful about ABBYY Reader as well was being able to edit PDF documents on the fly.

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.
