Formaloo

Solid typeform alternative + promising live survey features

Opmerkingen: Great experience so far (like described above)

Pluspunten:

I am a WordPress user, so my previous experience was limited to WordPress formbuilder Plugins and Google Forms. I never was quite happy with the Wordpress Plugins I tried. With Formaloo I am actually satisfied though. I don't use their WordPress Plugin but embed it through their Iframe which works quite well. Many times, I link to the standalone forms, too. So, there is a solid amount of flexibility for different usecases. I like that. The mobile App is something nice to have, too. The functions of the form itself including statistics are more or less the same as compared to the competition. All I need for the moment.

Minpunten:

I like the idea of the presentation mode - however, they need to add the possibility to access the survey with a specific QR code (similar to how kahoot and ngage.ai's presentation mode work). During presenting, there is no time to send a link to participants. Thus, as long there is no QR code for them to click on, I won't really use this feature.

Amazing tool for any business!

Pluspunten:

Formaloo had made creating forms, campaign automations, and the overall growth of the business very simple. Simplicity is key and it’s a purchase I don’t regret making!

Minpunten:

So far I have not encountered any cons about my time working with Formaloo!

I've never met a team and a product that exhausted my patience like this!

Opmerkingen: It was promising at the beginning allowing me to hope this will help our business take a leap forward but instead this has frustrated us to no ends.

Pluspunten:

This is undoubtedly a powerful software but only and I mean ONLY when it works. The potential is there but the execution and the required support aren't there yet.

Minpunten:

The most frustrating experience I have here in Appsumo! The software is definitely impressive and has a lot of potential, but I would caution to only invest in it if this ISN'T a critical piece of your business operations.My Experience: 1. I recently began using Formaloo with high expectations of its ability to create powerful and useful forms. I was excited by its vast array of features and options and thought I had stumbled across a great tool. However, my excitement was short-lived as I began creating my forms. Almost every form I created had an unforeseen bug or issue. I can't even publish or use my forms because it's unusable to anyone using it. I believe the product is potentially great, but the unreliability of the forms I created leads me to suggest that Formaloo is best avoided until its buggy issues can be resolved.2. I have had the misfortune of dealing with this company's customer service, and it has been an absolute nightmare. Their support system is completely disorganized and they are completely unsympathetic to their customers who are trying to get their issues resolved. The response time is also laughable at best. It's clear to me that this company does not value its customers or their time, and I would not recommend you rely on them to solve your issues.3. At 4 attempts out of 4, you've reached a familiar yet exasperating place - you've created 4 Formaloo using the platform and all 4 have considerable bugs. You wonder why you even bother. You've paid

Formaloo? Can do, but with a grain of salt

Opmerkingen: Formaloo does oversell their product a little. Its not truly a no-code development platform, for instance: what you can do is build forms and ways to display form data. Most of the promises made by the marketing are true, but you'll have to be creative to achieve some of the results that are promised.

Pluspunten:

I like the mindset behind the app: take traditional forms and re-imagine how you could use the data. This is why the team bills Formaloo as a no-code builder (which it really isn't): because your form data can be piped around the Formaloo ecosystem in really interesting ways. The dashboard for managing submissions is quite impressive.

Minpunten:

I both like and dislike the fact that Formaloo focuses on doing important things, even if they do them badly. They seem to prioritize features over flawless execution.

Overwogen alternatieven: Ticket Tailor

Redenen om voor Formaloo te kiezen: Formaloo offered a more modern, publicly accessible interface than SharePoint, and it was more economical than JotForm. It also seemed easier to manage the data in the ways we want than with either of those products.

Redenen om over te stappen op Formaloo: We are using Ticket Tailor for some events. For those that need more custom options, we are using Formaloo.

Excellent Forms Software

Opmerkingen: My experience has been great. Everything is laid out well and produces professional output.

Pluspunten:

I like the ease in creating complex forms for my clients to fill out. The forms are easy to build and look professional to my clients.

Minpunten:

There are a few funky layout issues with the multiple choice options, but not a deal breaker.

Overwogen alternatieven: Jotform

Redenen om voor Formaloo te kiezen: This options was less expensive with more features.
