" April 22, 2022 5.0 Forms on fire was exactly the middle ground we needed between being offline using paper and developping our own mobile app for internal use. We decided that simply digitizing the forms was the best use of our time and money and it has had a great ROI. Within the first 3 weeks of using FoF we were able to increase productivity and decrease paper to computer entry completely. Reports that usually took 1 hrs to gather the information and another hour to digitize and publish could be done on the fly during the data gathering phase. Pros This software is so easy to use! If you can drag and drop you can make a nice UI and form that is accessible reliably from any mobile platform. We really did have an easy time taking our existing excel sheets, modifying them to a forms on fire friendly format and setting that up. Total effort was about 10 hrs for a form conversion (first time, and done manually). Cons We got stuck with a few elements (how to pass data in a certain format) that didn't work, but Forms on fire customer support were available to help us get through it. It turns out it was user error and not Forms on Fire Review Source Response from Appenate September 26, 2023 Hey Matthew, thank you for your 10 out of 10 review.

May 28, 2019 5.0 Very pleased with the ease of developing our forms, distributing, updating, and collecting the uploaded data . The drag and drop interface for forms is outstanding and the help files make it easy to develop any workflow you can imagine, very powerful! Pros Our team especially liked the openness of the software programming interface, the associated help files, and the superb customer support whenever we had a question. We knew going in that we would have some "special tasks" we would need to implement and Forms On Fire appeared to have the best programming system in place to easily make that happen using our own personnel and not requiring the software company to handle everything at additional cost. The system is so easy it just doesn't require that much support, but if you need it, they are there to help! Cons I think the website interface could use a few minor improvements like having data view columns maintain their positions between sessions or refreshes, and perhaps a little more development on the dashboard, although we'll probably develop our own that most of the vendors for this type of software simply don't offer.

Pros I like the ability to use it on several different devices in various locations. The ability to pull data from different points of our work allows us to monitor and make adjustments as needed Cons There is a bit of a learning curve on learning how to use the software.

JT Jennifer T. Environmental Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Data collection made easy" May 13, 2024 5.0 I have been using Forms on Fire for almost 7 years in my job at an international engineering firm and cannot speak highly enough of this product! I have designed forms from basic single-page fill-in-the-blank type forms to incredibly complicated multi-page forms using pre-populated repeating tables, subforms, and even approval steps. I am not a coder but have been able to design forms that do everything my clients have asked, including making stepwise decision-making fields. Some of our field techs have been resistant to using digital forms but most of them report back that they love how easy-to-use the forms are and they don’t ever want to go back to paper. The project managers are equally enthusiastic about the data they receive since they no longer have to decipher handwriting or deal with entries that do not conform to their requirements. My company’s firewall does not allow direct posting to SQL so we had to use the API and go through the Sync connector. Forms on Fire support was very helpful through this process, working with our IT department to get everything set up correctly. In fact, the support team has always been wonderful, responding quickly with suggestions or work-arounds whenever I have gotten stuck on a complicated solution. If you need to collect data in any remote setting, you can not go wrong with Forms on Fire. Pros It's easy to learn and easy to use. You can make edits without interrupting field team. You can get your data in practically any way you need it. The data is clean and consistent. Cons My only complaint is that I can't use the repeating table with a repeating table with the Sync SQL connector - I have many projects that could use this. I do have a work-around (subforms) so I can deal with it but sure would be nice! Reason for choosing Appenate I inherited Forms on Fire when I started at my company but I keep using it because it does everything we need it to do and they keep making it even better all the time! Review Source Response from Appenate May 16, 2024 Thank you so much for your detailed and positive review! We're thrilled to hear about your successful experience with Forms on Fire over the past 7 years and how our platform has been instrumental in your projects at the international engineering firm. Regarding your feedback about the limitation with the Sync SQL connector and repeating tables, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We're excited to let you know that integrating repeating tables with the SQL connector is currently in development and will be included in a future update. We believe this enhancement will make your projects even more streamlined and efficient. Thank you again for your support and for being such a valued member of the Forms on Fire community. We look forward to continuing to serve your data collection needs with even more functionality! TP Tom P.

Pros I could create the forms I needed with just the data I needed to collect Cons The programming was a little tough to get used to. I'm not a programmer, but I've taken enough classes to figure it out. The toughest part has been getting Appenate and Sharepoint to cooperate. Once they're on the same page, things seem to run smoothly. Reason for choosing Appenate Custom forms, steps, and live update to the data location of my choosing Review Source LM Lloyd M.

" January 26, 2018 5.0 Ease of use as a designer and user. All of my users are very pleased with user experience. Great support team. Pros I have used forms on fire for several types of data collection with my team and have had a very positive experience as a form designer and user. The form builder is intuitive and easy to use and very easy to test. I love the fact that they have a windows app, especially when it comes to testing changes on my forms. Make a change, open window app, test and adjust. Anytime I hit a wall and I am not sure what to do, a few minutes spent on the support chat gets me what I need. Forms on fire is flexible, powerful and an economical way to collect the data my team needs from the field. Cons Forms on Fire has a very extensive knowledge base, that could be improved by the addition of some short videos that walk users through some of the more complicated tasks. The support information is all there, I just learn easier when I can see it in action. Review Source Response from Appenate April 12, 2018 Hey, thanks again for your terrific review.

Principal Scientist/Project Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Forms on Fire" May 15, 2020 5.0 We are using Forms on Fire on all our field tablets to gather resident and sampling information. Greatly reduces the use of paper, and minimizes with pull down menus the typing errors, etc. Pros System is flexible, powerful, and easily adaptable to a lot of different applications. We were able to use existing templates and got them integrated into our user platform relatively easy. User friendly, app does save any information entered if you have to quickly exit and loose service. Fantastic customer support. Cons Some features are still being worked on, at times can become unstable and crash on us in the field. Fortunately, the entered data is being saved and we loose little time until we are back up and running. Review Source SL Sébastien L. Marketing Coordinator Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software and Costumer service" April 18, 2020 4.0 The mobile experience is great overall. We got problems with specific form when we tried to get a task done. The mobile version is pretty much intuitive. Users learned very quickly by themselves. Pros This software has multiple features. The form builder offers you any kind of options you’d have and needs. Their customer service and technician quickly reply to your questions and problems. Detailed users management. Cons The form builder is a bit tricky to learn. If your needs are basics features it’s quite simple, but since you get in more complex forms then you’d probably need their help to get it work properly. Reason for choosing Appenate Customization options and versatility. Review Source JG James G. Administrator Warehousing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This Program is User Friendly" August 28, 2021 5.0 Creating templates that are easy to follow and use as a end user that help productivity for the company with a minimum chance of workflow stoppage has to be something to special. My overall experience has been really great at this point. Very impressed!! Pros It is simple to use and I'm not that tech savvy. My company uses this program and it was new to me but the initial introductory into learning and navigating through it was not too difficult as I started to use it. The ease of navigation is what I would say I like most about it. Cons I used the app for my mobile which is overall good app and gets the job done also. However, it did clamp on me at one point but I'm not sure if it was my network on my end or the app. This was not a big deal because it did pick back up. Which goes to say I that my least issue was not that much of a issue. Review Source Response from Appenate September 26, 2023 Thank you James.
