Mark Whelan Company owner Chose Jotform I think it's better than mailchimp. Similar to Zapier in that it's just very sleak and user friendly but Jotform even more so.

I have also tried Typeform but had to pay for the ability for my customers to upload a photo. Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Anonymous Chose Jotform Jotform offers better integration where you can publicly list the form for anyone with a link can submit informaiton and we are able to get full PDF reports on those worksheets.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Microsoft Planner In my experience, Microsoft Planner has much less features and less effective than other project management tools.

Quratulain Habib, PMP Partner / Director / Head of Projects Chose Microsoft Planner While Asana and Trello are mature products, Planner is getting there pretty quickly.

User Testimonials
	Jotform	Microsoft Planner
Likelihood to Recommend	With a vast selection of pre-designed templates to choose from, ranging from event registrations to customer feedback surveys, JotForm caters to a broad spectrum of needs. Each template is fully customizable, allowing you to align the form's aesthetics with your brand identity effortlessly. JotForm has arrived to streamline and elevate your processes to a whole new level. Incentivized Gary Oversen Assistant Director Read full review	Microsoft Planner is a user-friendly visual tool for organizing tasks and workflows. It’s great for team collaboration, integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 tools like Teams and Outlook, and offers flexibility for projects of all sizes. Additionally, it provides mobile and web access for seamless productivity on the go. That’s a big plus right there. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	The ease of use is my favorite part of the Jotform. You don't have to be an IT guru to use it, but the results of your creation will surely make people think you are. Jotform keeps all my event request organized and accurate. Editing forms is done with ease. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I love the ability to tag and untag others as needed I love the ability to customize the tag labels and that there are so many options I love the ability to add comments and it notifies the others tagged in the task I love that the task description can be changed as needed without notification to others assigned to the task Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	I would love for Jotform to offer an a la carte for some of the products like maybe we pay for more form views and submissions but not all the other stuff. Flexibility in css. More options in the name field, maybe I want the last name first or for it to be a full one entry box. A phone number entry field. Incentivized WR WTS Studio Recordings Staff Assistant Read full review	Does not allow you to view all tasks and sub-tasks (checklist) in a nested view. Comments have character limits that can make it harder for teams to communicate exactly what they want to share. There is no way to mention a teammate in a comment and share files and documents in the conversation (collaborative tool???). Fernanda Ministerio Especialista de Desenvolvimento Industrial Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	It's exceptional software Paige Jack CEO Read full review	It is a very useful tool that brings teams in sync with one another. The integration with other Microsoft products makes it an obvious choice because you don't have to purchase a license for a completely different tool that doesn't have cross-functional capabilities with the software you already use on a daily basis. Incentivized Richard (Ric) Hazel Strategy Planning Advisor Read full review
Usability	It is very user-friendly and intuitive. The interface is very simple and straightforward. The elements are easily accessible even without having any prior knowledge of the interface. The customer support is incredibly awesome. They respond to you within 24-48hrs tops. They also provide a list of questions and answers that have already been asked. Incentivized Edwin Mathew Special Events Coordinator Read full review	The tool is easy to use, but it is just as easy to set up. No specific skills are required, but its usefulness in our work is immediately apparent. Colors are very helpful in creating a clear interface and providing a very precise overview of the tasks to be performed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Their support is truly awful and negligent [in my opinion]. It's rare for me to get so mad as to write a review about it but given what we do, I think it's necessary to document it. We work in mental health and having client data [transmitted] through the API correctly can be a matter of life and death for someone in crisis. We have had repeated issues with this in JotForm and reset the integration multiple times and yet it continues. [In my experience] tags don't transmit, complete contacts are absent, or parts of data [are] missing despite being mapped. [Again, per my experience] their support will initially respond and then you hear nothing. It's been a huge issue and we are leaving them as a result. [I feel] it's truly infuriating and negligent. William Schroeder Co-Owner and Counselor Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	Had to opt for Jotform to open in a separate window for some of my phones as being intergrated into my own site caused restricted viewing problems on some devices like mobiles. Incentivized DS Dean Sadler Cleaning Company Business Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Compared to Google and Microsoft, Jotform has a lot more features. I particularly love the e-signature because it makes the form feel more trustworthy for our team. When compared to the other form builders, it is frankly too expensive for us to use them, while Jotform has just enough features for casual users like us. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Our organization chose MS Planner because it is an included tool in the MS Suite, and since we are unfortunately replacing our current and much better project management tool due to a consolidation of the tech stack. However, it doesn't appear that any of the teams using the current program intend to use MS Planner due to its poor functionality. We will likely be pivoting to Jira instead. Incentivized Brandon Stokes Global Revenue Enablement Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	It saved me time. Within minutes I was able to create and share forms to collect demographic data. While struggling to use another software, I thought of Jotform and it was able to assist me with collating the data I had to confirm results previously obtained. I could not easily identify what new information was provided in a resubmission by a respondent. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Saved over $1000 each year by not having to purchase a third party tool for our content planning Not sure that I can provide a hard number to this, but having the oversight to see when something is coming due and making sure everything gets executed in time Incentivized Christie Carbone Digital Marketing Analyst Read full review
