We have used Salesforce App Cloud because other departments were using this app. It was okay but was not beneficial for our department because Salesforce is more suited for sales. It was not always customization to track the things that we needed within our department but it …

I tried a couple of other options like Proforms and one other that I don't recall. Because I have moderate computer knowledge and we had the need for customization and flexibility, GoCanvas couldn't be beat. They also worked with us on flat pricing for a bulk rate of licenses …

GoCanvas is much easier to use and customize than Google Forms. We have used Google Forms in the past, but seem to find that GoCanvas works better for our company and what we do. The reports are cleaner, more professional, and easier to use than Google Forms. I feel that it …

ProntoForms is easier to use than its competitors. The user interface for pronto forms is quite a bit simpler than its competitors and it allows you to quickly and easily see what it is that you are doing. This allows you to use ProntoForms to design your forms appropriately …

While ProntoForms is specialized (and probably better suited) for the field service environment, Smartsheet is a more well-rounded solution that has a lot more features that can be utilized in other areas or teams. Smartsheet also has a shorter learning curve due to its MS …

We looked for versatility of product and cost effectiveness when trying to choose vendors. Even though the product can be set up by the user or administrator, the more complex parts of the form required help to be done right. Vendors needed to be able to offer their services …

I believe that GoCanvas is well suited for a company when they have one or two documents that need to be in the system. Also maybe a smaller company with 1-11 employees. For us, it has been somewhat of a challenge with 10-15 employees using it with sometimes 5 different documents and managing that. The customization of the documents is fabulous and we could sign contracts electronically which gave us an edge with our competition.

From my perspective, ProntoForms happens to be a convenient tool giving our service techs the ability to accurately record issues and document customer locations. It is also a versatile tool in that we have used for vehicle inspection, fleet maintenance (service tech's trucks), shipping checklists, checklists of equipment updates and documentation, site eval forms, project completion, and request for quote forms.

Cons
  • Some of their customization of the PDF Report builder is limited, but this is more than likely for simplicity sake. There have been some limitations based on their programming limitations, but we've been able to get around some of them.
  • Tech support is not instantly available and can take up to a day to get back to you.

Usability

As Prontoforms markets itself as a low code, user-friendly drag and drop solution, it definitely excels in the area of user experience. While those who are more on the technical side will appreciate the standard options available as part of its custom integration tools. The learning curve has never been an issue.

The customer support for pronto forms was great for me in the only instance that I have had to use it. I called the phone number for ProntoForms customer support, they were quick with the correct answer for me and very reassuring.

I tried a couple of other options like Proforms and one other that I don't recall. Because I have moderate computer knowledge and we had the need for customization and flexibility, GoCanvas couldn't be beat. They also worked with us on flat pricing for a bulk rate of licenses which allows us to flexible as our number of inspectors fluctuates up and down, yet we pay a flat rate every year.

While ProntoForms is specialized (and probably better suited) for the field service environment, Smartsheet is a more well-rounded solution that has a lot more features that can be utilized in other areas or teams. Smartsheet also has a shorter learning curve due to its MS Excel-like flexibility with formulas. However, Smartsheet is better suited for simple form recording with limited integration options compared to Prontoforms.
