Considered Both Products

Chose airSlate WorkFlow
HelloSign is the only other products we've used but it does not have the automation we needed. We used it when we were processing fewer digital forms and most others were required by our legal department to be printed and signed.
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
airSlate is cheaper to utilize, and allows for more specified automation. I always worry about the per envelope cost for DocuSign, which is not a factor when utilizing airSlate.

airSlate also notifies us if there is an issue with a bot, whereas we have had people attempt to …
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
I think each one has its purpose and one product can't be everything. airSlate does a great job at being economical for a business while also delivering the software that you need with the ability to make it your own. the support team is also outstanding which is a huge plus.
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
We had been unable to get much attention from DocuSign support/sales when we decided we wanted to connect forms to Salesforce. I stumbled across airSlate on the appExchange, and their sales team was responsive and helpful. I haven't worked in DocuSign myself, but my users tell …
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
We initially thought airSlate could replace Cognito Forms for our company. However airSlate is missing key features that would allow this. We currently use Cognito Forms to take form entries for clinical samples we receive in the lab and then in bulk are able to ingest new …
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
We've used several other web form applications but none of them add the ease of use as airSlate. Also, none of them integrated with our other tech stack, such as Salesforce.
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
I never used the actual product other than signing documents
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
We chose airSlate over docusign because it allowed us to customize more things. DocuSign was getting pricier and allowed less customization or tools for the same price airSlate was offering. airSlate also gave us a non profit discount and allowed for us to be HIPAA compliant …
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
One of the other platforms we used was terribly hard to configure correctly- we spent many many hours on processes that never worked correctly- and two of these platforms did not have transparency in what they said they could do and what they could really do. And the feature …
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
airSlate is cheaper and the automations save a lot of time. The only issue with airSlate is you can not share document links.
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
Adobe is extremely easy to use for forms that have to be built every time - like tax returns - even when it sometimes thinks every box needs data that is already there from the tax program. It requires no account creation or other hoops for the signer to complete a signature …
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
airSlate covers some processes that are not available yet in power automate, or have an additional cost / third party reliance. airSlate also has the ability to produce solutions in a sometimes faster manner than power automate, depending on the complexity. Plus, the licensing …
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
With airSlate, you are not bound to just one type of tool like you are with Google forms. airSlate allows you to link to other tools, other than Google to make the forms work even better.
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
While maintaining similar features as alternative products, airSlate is easier to use and less expensive. It is quicker to setup and creating new forms and workflows are easy with the help of built-in templates. I find the user interface friendly and well designed compared to …
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
Kissflow was overly complex and costly. Forms On Fire didn't seem to have the support we needed. We already subscribe to Adobe Sign, but was a hassle to figure out how to construct a cascading set of authorisations that pulled data from a sheet according to user input.
Chose airSlate WorkFlow
Tallyfy is a wonderfully robust solution but airSlate further connected the dots for us with the full integration to the electronic signature aspect of our needs. I'm not sure where Tallyfy stands currently on that front.

I haven't used SurveyMonkey in a while, but in my recent experience, Formstack Forms offers great functionality and ALSO integrates with the other Formstack products we have, such as Formstack Documents and Formstack Sign. This additional perk of integrations makes the …

Cheaper than most alternatives and very easy to use
Other systems can be more complicated to setup
The system can be access from most anywhere
Chose Formstack Forms
I feel like Formstack is Google forms on steroids. They both serve the same purpose and I have more experience using Google forms but feel like I have more resources at my disposal with Formstack. Honestly, these are 2 only products I would use in this category, with Formstack …
Chose Formstack Forms
Wufoo and Formstack are very similar - almost as if they were built by the same company or ex-employees. Except Formstack UI was better and modern at least when we selected it. While the team was happy with Wufoo and Surveymonkey, our IT team picked Formstack based on their …
Chose Formstack Forms
We used Survey Monkey previously and the process of pulling data, reporting, and integrating the data was much easier and faster. The page logic let us shorten the end-user experience, and the layout and design were significantly improved. Our end-users reported a better user …
Chose Formstack Forms
Flexibility, tools and ROI are the reasons we chose Formstack. Data being exportable to other tools and systems we use also helped to make this determination. The level of complexity and conditional logic it has even at its most basic levels gives it an edge over most …
Chose Formstack Forms
I found Blackbaud NetCommunity to have a much steeper learning curve, and to be fairly expensive. I opted to use Formstack instead, which meant exporting/importing data with some regularity.
Chose Formstack Forms
Formstack just had more versatility. We had to start in a rush and they gave us what we needed to hit the ground running. They didn't delay or bog us down with complicated sales pitches, and didn't leave us in the dark on what to do. We didn't need to google how to use the …
Chose Formstack Forms
I am not aware of other competitors out there to FormStack other than modules or plug-ins deployed on WordPress or Drupal built sites. I do think that forms deployed through marketing automation platforms (HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot) are better alternatives due to the if-then …

I didn't evaluate any other products.
Chose Formstack Forms
Formstack proved to be more robust, easier to use and friendlier to work with when questions/issues emerged.
Chose Formstack Forms
Formstack was much easier to use. Drag and drop creation made organizing and reorganizing easy. Forms were easy to brand and looked professional. Easy field creation and the breadth of field options made Formstack the forerunner.

I have began switching over to Form Assembly for our new sales cycle but have not started using it yet. I cannot give a good product evaluation or comparison because Formstack is the only product I have used.
Chose Formstack Forms
For run of the mill data collection, I have used Google Forms, Office 365 Excel Forms, and SharePoint lists. And in WordPress I have used Gravity Forms.

Google Forms and Office 365 are nice tools with not nearly the same feature-set available from Formstack. While they are …
Chose Formstack Forms
We have found that no other software gives us the freedom that Formstack does to be creative in our form building. Formstack has by far the most user-friendly interface of any other product we have used. We especially like the Digital Signature, SubAccounts and Calculating …
Chose Formstack Forms
Drupal is a much more customizable platform, however you must have someone build the forms first and then you can work with them if you do not have the programming knowledge. If you have any changes to make, it can sometimes be both a time consuming and difficult process. …

Formstack allows for multiple users and provides a cleaner UI with richer features and automatic data analysis. GoogleForms is a free alternative, but offers none of these features.

I've created multiple webforms from scratch & the Formstack API is much more efficient in both creating and managing/updating forms. When I was initially evaluating products (about a dozen or so), Formstack had the cleanest interface and most third-party integrations (payments, …

Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for forms that need to be signed by one or more people (ie multiple levels of managers). Great to keep all completed slates in one section so that you can find what was completed and where. It does get a bit tricky with routing when it's a bit of back and forth.

Formstack makes it easy to create a variety of forms. I have used it for event interest and registrations, email list sign-ups, and surveys. I have found it easy to customize, and easy to export data for import into other systems (e.g., CRM).

Pros
  • The airSlate interface is very easy to use. Creating new forms or updating existing ones is way less challenging than other similar platforms.
  • airSlate integration with other platforms is straightforward and doesn't require special unique code.
  • The look and feel of the user interface is clean and inviting.

  • Formstack allowed us to customize the look and feel of our forms to match our branding. It was easy for our engineers to integrate the forms within our onboarding process to deliver a seamless experience.
  • Formstack integrates well with HubSpot, our marketing automation platform of choice.
  • Formstack offered us a lot of flexibility in the types/formats of questions we could deploy (open-ended text, multi-choice, single choice, etc.). This made it easy to get data the way we wanted and facilitated getting that data into HubSpot.

Cons
  • Field mapping to Salesforce is precise but a bit fidgety. Would be nice to be able to do it on the form builder instead of in a separate bot.
  • Fillable fields in PDFs are ugly. It would be nice if font size/spacing/alignment actually matched the document.
Read full review
  • Buggy Updates: Formstack tends to make on-the-fly updates that break features. We run into this about once a year
  • Appearance: the forms are starting to look dated compared to some of the competitors (looking at you, Typeform)
  • Dynamic Data: passing data from one field to another is not-exactly doable
  • Paid Add-Ons: the price for Formstack is already an arm and a leg; the fact that they have additional monthly paid add-ons is frustrating
  • User Limits: user accounts barely do anything outside of 'view/edit' permissions, thus the low volume allocated seems a bit greedy at $10/user/mo for more

Our user base has come to rely on Formstack to get forms done. The Formstack tools make it easy to start from scratch or copy an existing form to "quick start" a new, similar form. The price is right and frees up IT staff to do more transformative work.

Usability
Starting with a template it is easy to see how parts of the workflow are connected and make changes that will customise the product for your own use case. In our situation, rather than starting from scratch, our form was working within hours of joining the trial version. Several hours of tweaks lead us to a form that is better than the tool it was replacing and we are saving real man-hours with a minimum investment of time and money. Service has been exceptional.

I give it this rating because Ali feel like just about anyone can use this. Now with 7 billion people in the work I understand that’s not the case but I feel like Formstack get it pretty simple where a majority of humans could use it and navigate through. The only reason I didn’t give it a higher rating is because I think Google Forms is a little easier to use and that it’s pretty much impossible for any product to get a 10 on usability in my opinion.

I have reached out to airSlate support a number of times during setup and after. The platform includes a built-in support chat that is very convenient and fast. I'm able to get the answers I need is less time than it takes with any other software I use. And I don't need to pick up a phone or write an email and wait for a response. They support staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating

Formstack has awesome support! They are always quick to respond and genuinely care for their clients' success. They will work with you to find a solution or let developers know about your feature request. There are a few things on the feature request forum that I wish they would implement sooner, but I am at least grateful that they give clients a space to voice their ideas and take them into consideration.

  • Positive - ability to analyze submission trends - e.g. when a marketing email is sent, looking at increased form viewing and submissions in relation to the sending of the campaign.
  • Immediate response - those that submit forms receive immediate response that their form has been submitted.
