Their apps, APIs, and open source tools give you full control over your data. I highly recommend this as a data collection platform. Pros Fulcrum provides an impressive array of features and possibilities with their mobile data collection platform. The ability to manage apps and data using open standards and developer friendly APIs means that you can incorporate a superior data collection experience into your workflow, regardless of your existing technology footprint. Cons There are some advanced features of this platform that may be difficult for a beginner. However, it is very straight-forward for a beginner to get up and running with a simple data collection app. Review Source Response from Spatial Networks March 28, 2019 Thanks for the review! We're glad you are enjoying the flexibility Fulcrum has to offer and that you're getting the most out of your API integration. AL Angie L. Conservation Director Environmental Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great GIS production for Conservation Professionals" August 7, 2020 5.0 Pros At our land trust, we use Fulcrum to collect data about the lands we own and manage. We collect data on the condition of property boundaries, recreational trails, species of interest, and environmental research. Fulcrum works seamlessly with our GIS software- QGIS and ArcGIS. We are able to use Fulcrum to live link data into QGIS using a GeoJSON link. We are also able to communicate data across our staff and share the product across our staff devices. Cons I wish the software had better capabilities for displaying and collecting line and polygon data, but I have found a work around using Tiles. Review Source MS Michael S. Maintenance Foreman Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great App" September 3, 2020 5.0 Fulcrum is great, and it has saved us time and money. I wouldn't enjoy my job near as much without it. Pros Using fulcrum has made my manager and I's job so much easier that I don't know how we got by before using it. Be it data entry, being able to find components without searching for hours, making numerous phone calls, and data entry, the workload that has been taken on by Fulcrum is tremendous. For anyone in a field like ours this app is a must have. Cons The sattelite image is old, which can make finding things off of landmarks more difficult. I also have found that the computer version is much better than the mobile in the sense that filtering is way easier. The list view (like excel) needs to be more user friendly and available on the mobile side of things. Review Source PB Phillip B. Owner/CFO Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best project management tool in your pocket" November 23, 2020 5.0 Pros We have found fulcrum to be the most adaptable and useable tool for team project management yet. We love the adaptability and functional use for everything from drone operations to wetland delineation. We use it across our whole team and love the real time updates and collaboration that is made possible using the app. Cons There is a little bit of a learning curve to successful use but once you've got it it's golden. Review Source CS Chris S. Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fulcrum Review" August 15, 2019 5.0 Pros Solid performance coupled with flexibility, features, and low cost Cons Enterprise integration was a long time coming Reason for choosing Fulcrum Solid performance coupled with flexibility, features, and low cost Switched from [iFormBuilder](https://www.capterra.com/p/155402/iFormBuilder/) features and cost Review Source FS Fred S. Project Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product" May 21, 2020 5.0 Extremely useful data collection product tat has proven extremely useful for our day-to-day business as well as during the recent bushfire emergency allowing us to collect Information on thousands of Properties. Pros The most useful aspect is its ease of use and ability to make changes on the fly. Cons The inability to create our own reports (which is being looked at now though). Reason for choosing Fulcrum Easier, cheaper, could write our own forms back then. Free trials. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Ahmed Salkını International Affairs Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fulcrum advantage and area to improve" March 22, 2019 4.0 Pros Easy to use compared to several other sımılar applications. Cons It became more costly application compared to similar apps. Review Source Response from Spatial Networks March 27, 2019 We're glad you found Fulcrum to be easy to use! We pride ourselves on being one of the most affordable mobile data collection solutions available. Since conception, our team worked steadily to continually improve our platform with additions and updates to help our users streamline their workflows. JA Jackie A. Geologist 1 Environmental Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fulcrum in the field" September 8, 2020 4.0 I have seen an easier transition of field forms to office editing. It is easier to record data in the field and assure that all needed fields are acquired. Pros The generalized field forms are very convenient, and they are also slightly customizable which makes creating multiples for one event easy. I also like the ease of transferring from fulcrum to use in the office space. Cons I don't like that when the program syncs it has to sync all apps even if I don't use them. I think having the option to select if you want a specific field to carry over the data input would be nice. Review Source RW Ronald W. COO Renewables & Environment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "App developed in a weekend that saved us time and money" June 18, 2020 5.0 I have 200 electricians installing energy metering across the USA. They now use the app to report on what they did at each unique site. The app was set up in less than a week, was tested, trained and rolled out to the first 20 electricians within a month. Amazingly easy, feature-rich and fast to deploy. The field team loves it and finds that it saves them a lot of time. Pros Extremely easy to learn to build an app with lots of functionality. This was the first time I developed an app and I did it in one weekend. Cons 1) Every entry field requires a new row on the app, even if is just a one-digit number. I would like to put 2-3 fields on the same row to get more on each screen. 2) I want to put an icon or small photo next to the fields to make it more user friendly. For example I wanted to show an example of what a QR code looks like next to the entry field for a QR code. 3) I want to send an email alert to my headquarters tech whenever a new file is generated in the field, so he can contact the person in the field immediately if there is a problem. I can't easily set up an alert for every time a new file is created. Review Source MK Marshall K. Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fulcrum Application Use Review" May 10, 2021 5.0 real time data collection one stop shop database for all data Pros ease of use affordable understandable easy to grasp data protection facility Cons we faced complex programming requirements between transferring data from MS excel to fulcrum and vice versa. If that could be simplified Reason for choosing Fulcrum yes As an organization, we have resolved to adopt fulcrum as the application of choice for data management Review Source SH Stephanie H. Managing Member Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fulcrum Review" May 21, 2020 4.0 I love it. I can use it in the field with or without the internet right from my phone. Pros It can be updated and easily changed any time to meet our needs. Cons The lack of dashboard for easier reporting and process control. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Consultant Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fulcrum: A Flexible Solution" March 22, 2019 5.0 Overally my experience with Fulcrum has been wonderful. It met the initial need I had when I purchased a few years ago and has helped me grow my business as well. Pros Flexible platform. The software fully supports customers bringing their own opinions to the table to get work done their way. Cons Mobile app can be buggy at times (very rarely though). Review Source Response from Spatial Networks March 27, 2019 Thanks so much for your review of Fulcrum! We're so glad our app could help you grow your business! MP Mitch P. Regional Manager, Fiber Operations Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Tool - Highly recommend it!" June 27, 2019 5.0 Far too much to go into any detail - we have deployed approximately 12 different tools for a variety of our field personnel to identify and track plant damage, outage incident reporting, quality assurance, new construction deployments (project management) etc. Pros Scalability and ease in customizing based on need Cons Unable to incorporate PDF uploads Reason for choosing Fulcrum Functionality Review Source Response from Spatial Networks June 28, 2019 We're glad you're enjoying Fulcrum, Mitch! Thank you letting others know. LO Lewis O. Natural Resource Specialist Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fulcrum NPGCD " November 24, 2020 4.0 It has been pretty good. Like I stated it had been a big time saver for us and makes us more efficient in our services. Pros It is easy to use and saves time in getting our inspection done, especially when we are spread out over the Texas Panhandle. Cons The system sometimes crashes when syncing it from an inspection and we tend to lose time and the data. I would like to have the 911 rural roads show up in application when viewing the map view, and I think the well number and section or GPU numbers could be larger so they can be read without reading glasses. Review Source MAJ Mohammad Amir J. Deputy Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fulcrum : Additional GIS layer for Telco in Future. " August 25, 2020 4.0 We have been using for Survey and Scope Analysis for FTTH. Pros The Simplicity of the App and User interface. Offline storage of data during survey. Enhanced user support i.e. first time users. Inclusion of mbtiles. Cons 1\. The Github issues are not taken seriously. 2. Less contribution by open source develpers. 3. Api should be provided in more languages like Scheme, Haskell. Review Source BW Brian W. Damage Prevention Specialist Utilities Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why Fulcrum" June 4, 2020 5.0 Why Fulcrum? Why not. A platform should work for you, not against. Everything is so easy to use. It has changed documentation aspect from a labor intensive chore to a breeze. Less time with paperwork and more time working Pros The ease of use switching from various other pages. Quick learning and how it can be customized to fit the needs of the company. Seamless transfer from the tablet to the laptop. Cons On remote camera options where pictures are sent from tablet to laptop. You have to bring them over one at a time. It would be nice to pull them over at once Review Source PRB Philip Raju B. Assosciate Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Product To Use" June 1, 2020 5.0 Fulcrum application is very good product for business and also it is very useful for improve out business by using fulcrum application.

It's easy to build forms. It allows us to be flexible for our clients. Cons Understanding of our business and workflow is difficult, so it made use a little difficult. The only item of contention right now is lack of access to the report writer. This would make it perfect! Review Source DM Dave M. Field Maintenance Supervisor Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fulcrum and telecom field maintenance" May 22, 2020 5.0 My old way was if a located a trouble with the pole line I would take notes on a hard copy and drive ahead or back to find nearest civic number. Then enter this on a spread sheet at the office using a map or as built drawings then scanning and sending to our repair group. Fulcrum app has saved a wealth of time for me. Pros The fact that the instance I locate a deficiency on our aerial network I can enter it into Fulcrum, with pictures, and civic address and everyone with this app in our company has the info at that moment. Especially our aerial line repair trucks. Very easy to use. Cons The only problem that comes to mind is sometimes I don't require a picture, but not able to close app for that location until I take one. Review Source eG ethan G. specialist graduate Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "fulcrum review" April 9, 2019 4.0 very positive.

Cons there were data protection issues with it with regards to my companies data strategy. Review Source LS Loyiso S. Team Leader Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Components Assessment " May 30, 2020 5.0 Our pilot project is for looking at infrastructure shortfalls and remedial work needed to make it work. We capture data on Fulcrum and analyse it. Pros We as a team in company drafted spreadsheets to be included into the software to help us work on a new project piloted. It could be customised and adjust as we moved along in the exercise. Cons Lacks technical adaptation to engineering work and data would be captured then lost. We could not get our work back. Has to be able to realise that when data is the same no need to repeat, maybe get programmers with a background in engineering in order to understand customisation in engineering projects. Review Source JM JOHN M. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Track issues on a map" May 26, 2020 5.0 You can create apps. We are a landscape co. Our biggest challenge is keeping track of the all the irrigation systems on our clients many properties. Over 7000 valves, clocks, sprinklers, back flow, weather stations etc and any one of those items stops working or gets broken. This program tracks all this. We then connect a zapier to this Fulcrum app and all the non working zones gets put into a googles sheet. From there it goes to my Method CRM program and fills in a estimate to the client. We do this so the client sees what is wrong with the system. Creating a custom Fulcrum app is pretty easy. Support help is great. Pros When you need help they are there. Their online docs about helping you out is pretty good. Cons There is not much about this. I am pretty happy about this app. Review Source BS Brian S.

Supervisor Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Our Experience Using Fullcrum" May 10, 2021 5.0 Tenemos desplegados equipos en campo realizando inspecciones para supervisión técnica independiente. El uso de la aplicación ha permitido deshacernos de formatos impresos que después de tomar datos deben ser diligenciados de nuevo para presentación. Pros How easy can be implemented. Cada vez que tenemos un proyecto nuevo, resulta muy sencillo personalizar apps creadas para otros proyectos y adaptarlas a las necesidades del nuevo. Cons Limitation in the number of apps that can be shared. Reason for choosing Fulcrum Fieldsight has the chance to include figures and pictures that helps users to take better desitions, but it is easier to create new apps in Fulcrum.
