Great Product With Many Options **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul N. | Data Analyst / Scuba Dive Instructor, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Not too hard to get up to speed and plenty of options for customisation **What do you dislike about Form.io?** data export flexibility - would be nice to be able to combine data from multiple forms as an export **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our old supplier folded and we needed a new solution with flexibility and allows users to get up to speed quickly ### 2. Form.io - Ease of integration and customization **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David P. | Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Ability to pick and choose from a deep set of features (security, post-actions, etc..). Ability to augment the existing feature set using a variety of control customizations to fit our very specific needs. UI was easy to grasp for our less technical employees. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Nothing sticks out in my mmind as being immediatly dislikable. All the "difficult" parts are just typical of development work. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Be sure to do your homework in ensuring Form.io will fit your needs. There are a lot of features baked into the product already and simply describing what you are looking for to the Form.io team often results in an existing solution. Do note that many of these features are optional, and the ability to customize the usage of Form.io in your environment will let you further expand the already robust feature set. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had the task of replacing our custom Form Management in a new Angular environment. Our choice was to rebuild what we had already or look at the market for another option. Finding Form.io, we not only saw a product that nearly matched our custom development, but it had taken things a step further with augmentations such as PDF Forms, a robust control customization system, as well as PDF generation of submissions. Some features had been lacking from what we had previously. However, with the level of customization immediately available, we were able to rebuild said features. Examples of these features includes: - Dynamically build a form by inserting other templates on the fly - Pre-populating our thousands of generic forms with specific data from our system. With all the above in place, we have a robust form delivery and management system that integrates seamlessly with our products. ### 3. Fantastic tool that reduces development time and creates a great end-user experience! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Justin S. | Senior Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** The form.io design is intuitive and easy to use but also has the advanced capabilities needed for our more complex client requirements. I've never run into a situation (like you do with form.io competitors) where the platform is too limiting. It is great for both quick jobs and complex integrations where multi-device compatibility and complex calculations are required. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** I haven't found anything yet. Support is quick to respond if I have any questions and I've never been told what I need to do can't be done. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Try your next project with Form.io, I guarantee you won't look back. There is minimal ramp-up time, great support resources, and a clear ROI from day one. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Form building to work with desktop, tablet, and mobile has always been a challenge. There are solutions out there but if you need to do anything more than a few simple text fields you hit roadblocks. Form.io allows us to quickly build forms like in other simple tools but has every feature we need, whether it is pulling in data from an API, performing complex calculations for sales applications, or sending form input to a variety of clients system. Tasks that took our team hours or days to get right are being done in minutes with form.io. ### 4. 0 to 60 in a few clicks! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vanrick S. | Owner.CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Very secure, easy and fast to setup compared to a traditional database and backend. As a developer and entrepreneur, I can easily build MVPs and get to market faster than competition. With its very user-friendly drag and drop tools, one can easily build screens and at the same time build the backend infrastructure all in one pass. The APIs that gets generated are available to you soon as you click 'save'. Just like that you can blaze through the building of your infrastructure with just a few clicks. Front-end, back-end and database all found in one solution. I am an engineer but I definitely would think you won't have to be on to be able to use this. This service definitely would give companies especially startups and very significant boost when trying to get solutions out the door. Oh, and they have really good customer service and tech support! **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Slows you down when you use it for more complex projects. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** It a great solution to get an MVP out the door fast. Its a database, backend, and front end UI all in one. Also if you have your own front end framework you can easily use the generated APIs. **Official Response from Denise Kay:** > Thank you Vanrick! We appreciate your feedback. We would love to hear more about what is slowing you down with the more complex projects as we are constantly looking at ways to improve the experience. ### 5. Form.io is a great tool but can be complicated to setup. - Not your average use case. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jim B. | ScrumMaster, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Ease of use in creating content. The system is intuitive and easy to make your content look great. The service at Form.io is excellent. One time we had a reasonably severe production issue, and the team at Form.io jumped in quickly to help us run down the problem and bring a resolution to it. They were professional and caring about the issues we were having. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** In our configuration, we have made it more complicated than it needs to be. We did not get the test and prod environments set up quite right, and we are also using it in somewhat of a nonstandard way where we keep all of the responses in-house. It has been a bit challenging to configure and get right. If we had set it up differently, many of these problems would not be an issue. These are likely issues you will not run into if you're setting up everything in a more standard or thoughtful way than we did. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Take a look at the product. It is a strong product that could make some of your custom development go a lot easier. Also, make sure you take the time to get everything set up correctly. It can be challenging, but it will bear the fruit you need it to later in not changing any of the other configurations. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use the tool to make it easier to create custom data collection points, with the intent of allowing some lower-level technical users to create their forms. ### 6. CTO **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul R. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Form.io is incredibly easy for business users to produce incredible high-quality results forms and productive end-user experiences. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** We have not come across any shortcomings in the product so don't have anything to highlight as a dislike. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** While Form.io is an excellent tool for rapidly designing and developing pixel-perfect forms, but it is even more valuable because it also automatically generates the backend APIs required to build into a production-ready application. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Previously, we had to spend software developer's time and money to develop high-quality forms. Further, enabling the business to design and develop the Forms on their own has eliminated a lot of time and frustration having to go back and forth between development and business. The business is now empowered to rapidly develop and maintain the forms exactly how they are needed to meet the business requirements. Empowering our business partners has dramatically improved our time to market and the overall quality of our solutions. ### 7. The clunky editor almost makes it not worth the trouble **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Don S. | Software Developer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** How easy it is to generate a given form on our website **What do you dislike about Form.io?** The editor is awful! We have some forms with lots of questions, and we can't insert new questions in the middle of the form. We have to move all the rows below the new question one by one. Not every time, but sometimes when we save a form, it doesn't save. We have to save it multiple times before it actually saves. If you want to copy and modify a current field or set of fields to create a similar set, you can't. You have to create a new field or set of fields from scratch. If you want to move a form from one region to the next, you have to move ALL forms from that region to the next (e.g. Dev -> QA -> Prod). **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Before choosing Form.IO or any of its competitors, thoroughly test drive creating forms and modifying forms. No matter how well a product works, if it is difficult to work with, you will be unhappy. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are collecting stats from employees in the field. We have been able to centralize our data collection. ### 8. Form io Has been an easy to use form builder and we have enjoyed using public apis to collect data **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bharat G. | Core Architect, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** The development sdk of formio for custom rendering has been very helpful for us to theme and easy to stylize forms for end-users **What do you dislike about Form.io?** The Documentation for building custom plugins has not been beneficial in building our custom plugins Also the react form io is very outdated. Plugin examples needs to be updated more frequently. Larger forms with nested data grids can be very perfomance heavy on the browser and backword compatibility is not clean. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Improve the development SDK for developers to help with day to day activities, The form rendering capabilities needs a way for rendering custom themes, currently defining them at a form level is not straightforward through direct implementation. Mobile has become a quick way for data collection to come into systems,and there is a need for some good documentation to implement easy form rendering capabilities. Custom Plugins need some more examples on implementation as well. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were trying to avoid building custom form renderer and rewriting a custom form builder, Through form io we have been able to successfully build a customized interface to generate and view forms and make a dynamic library of plugins to make data collection for our customers easier. Apart from delivering a unique interface for every implementation we have also been able to easily manage data with more than 800 fields easily and store information very wel ### 9. State of Ohio **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Neal G. | Technical Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Speed to market for setting up a form or application. Form IO allows us to set up a form with easy front end validation and business logic, instant API accessable database. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Moving the product through SDLC can be a challange. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Form IO was used with the State of Ohio during the pandemic to stand up forms for the public within a matter of hours: From Ventilator count, case counts, long-term care facility cases, and PPE. The Governor's office would make requests and mandates to collect information in order for the State of Ohio to make policy decisions off of. Form IO was used to stand up a form, host it, enter in strict front end business logic restrictions, store and present the data with an API so our Data Analytics team could consume it to generate the Dashboards on the Coronavirus.ohio.gov website. The fact that our development team never had to worry about web hosting or database management allowed us to stand up forms in record time. Form IO was the go-to technical solution during the Pandemic in the State of Ohio. Outside of the pandemic, Form IO is used for all forms within our web hosting services. Form IO allows us to segregate forms into a separate service instead of hard-code HTML forms across our 100 websites. It encourages an API first, de-centralized web development system, which overall is easy to manage when an organization has hundreds of websites. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Speed to market for setting up a form or application. Form IO allows us to set up a form with easy front end validation and business logic, instant API accessable database. ### 10. Form.io is an intuitive, developer-friendly framework that provides excellent data management. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David H. | Head Of Quality Control, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** The level of customization that can go into every form **What do you dislike about Form.io?** I don't see any downsides; however, I would need to play around with the most recent version of the software to really know for sure **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Form.io provides quick access to the data gained from forms that is unrivaled throughout the industry **Official Response from Denise Kay:** > Very excited that you are enjoying your experience with Form.io. Feel free to reach out to us directly as you explore the latest versions as we are happy to answer any questions for you. Thanks again! ### 11. good, some things still need to improve. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** The interface is simple and quite intuitive. It is very easy to use. The API is very well documented, and it is easy to find what you are looking for. In this way, we could quickly integrate and generate new forms **What do you dislike about Form.io?** The forms of payment and contracting of the service are unclear, and it is expensive to generate PDFs. At first, it can be a bit difficult to adapt to the way the API is used. The issue of having to generate a token and then with that token brings the requested form is not very intuitive, but it helps to improve the security of the system. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Review well the costs and contracting forms before starting to develop. It is best to first create an example with the test option and then begin to implement and know the business needs and if Form.io can solve it. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** we needed to generate envelope forms to complete PDFs ### 12. Amazing value **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ronnie G. | Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Delivers value without getting in the way. The daily business workflow is full of spreadsheets "ish" and forms "ish" items. Formio promise is to alleviate the headaches of forms. It does exactly what it says it will do... most importantly, without having you to drastically change your tooling or stack. Don't underestimate the importance of this. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Thus far, none. I am sure they have issues - we've not run into any blockers yet. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Do the build vs buy math. You'll see why it makes more sense to go with form.io. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cut down time needed to develop the applications needed to serve our constituents. Developing basic web pages with forms were delivering zero value, while developing several other cloud based automation hidden behind those web pages were of utmost value. We chose formio to be able to spend more time developing those "robotic process automation" parts rather than spending time developing forms. ### 13. Innovative SaaS tool for form-based data collection **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** The product is a killer app due to the flexibility and powerful features it provides. I have appreciated that form.io is constantly improving and evolving its product and open to customer feedback to improve how the product delivers customer value. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Areas for improvement: Documentation could be a lot better and consistent. I have already seen some progress in this area and would like to see continual attention paid to up-to-date documentation. I also suggest having an FAQ of solutions to commonly asked questions to aggregate customer support inquiries and providing solutions. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Make sure you have adequate developer support to fully take advantage of all the powerful features form.io has to offer. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are currently using the product for data collection from customers and employees alike to facilitate downstream business processes. We like the flexibility of the product and how it can be deployed in so many different ways. The use cases we can use form.io for are plentiful and varied. ### 14. Good experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vin H. | Principal Software Developer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** The ease at which we can create forms and the branching strategy. It saved our team a lot of time in building huge forms. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** The documentation is not very helpful. We learned a lot of things during the call with Travis that we feel should be part of the documentation for enterprise users. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** There are a couple of things we learned the hard way - for example - limit the number of nested forms to 3 for better performance. So make sure you understand your project requirements and the limitations of Form.IO **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our applications have huge forms that we need the end users to fill. Form.IO has helped us with that. ### 15. form.io usage in healthcare **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert S. | General Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** the platform offers what you expect these days: SaaS with a clear pricing structure a solid technological base for installation and operation good support and for the general usage is very straight forward **What do you dislike about Form.io?** For some features it would be helpful to have more online documentation or trainings. We are using the platform mainly in South America so implementation with US rates is difficult. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** form.io is being used as part of a technological platform designed and built by sked24 and Siemens Healthineers in order to provide structured forms to healthcare personnel in order to document their daily tasks. The forms are connected to the sked24 scheduling and resource optimization platform as well as to Siemens eHealth. Form.io helps us to generate documents in a flexible way and using our clinical field repository we can integrate the forms easily to eHealth using international standards like Snomed or loinc ### 16. Outstanding Form Builder **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christopher G. | President & CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** We have seamlessly integrated form.io into our SaaS application and have been very pleased with the strong customer support. Great pricing, great product, and a complete white label solution. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** There is really not much we do not like but there are limitations to the API so we have switched to an on premise deployment of form.io which will meet all of our requirements. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** form.io is a great alternative to developing a form builder within an application **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Form.io allows us to easily provide a custom experience to our clients with no development time needed to make updates to the verious forms. We are extensively using form.io throughout our application. ### 17. Helping to Improve Workflows & Our Customers' Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Form.io can be implemented in our cloud so we can very quickly create and edit forms. We also like Form.io's custom service. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Our customers print the forms to give to their drivers. Because we use Form.io in this unique fashion, it would be good to have finer control over the size of the form entitites and the fonts used in the forms. This is somewhat buried in building custom CSS for each form. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We chose Form.io to replace an older report builder that was genearing our forms to print. We can now update forms very quickly, without needing a developer. ### 18. Form.io provided us and easy and robust way for our clients to create custom forms. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** We integrated it directly into our product quickly, giving our clients powerful tools to create custom forms to capture information from their users. Form.io allowed us to focus on other value add features without creating a form builder or figuring out how to present forms to users. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** We've had some issues to work through when scaling to thousands of clients. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We provide cloud-based software solutions to large and small healthcare organizations. They need to create custom electronic forms to capture data from their patients, including clinical information and consent forms. Each client has specific requirements and wanted a way to manage their custom forms easily. We needed a robust forms solution that made it simple for our clients to configure forms, get them in front of patients on multiple devices, and get discrete data back. **Official Response from Denise Kay:** > Thank you for the review! We appreciate you choosing Form.io. ### 19. Very powerful library that speeds up the UI development. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Simon P. | IT Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Very easy to create mock-up screens for business review. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** There is a learning curve to be familiar enough with the library. Some basic UI functionality is still missing (no Listbox or Tree component, for example). **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** UI (validation and presentation). Almost any UI can be developed with the library. The library makes the UI Designer's life much simpler. ### 20. Best Form Solution **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** That is cloud, opensource if you wanted. Formio has libraries for all major front-end frameworks. WE are currently in the process of using the docker solution it provided for better security. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Sometimes the resolution of a bug takes a few weeks to be resolved. A few features still need it but the most important are there. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need our customers to create FOrms and PDF forms so their employees can submit information. With this solution, we are able to add web form solution to our current angular and blazor app. ### 21. Impressively feature-rich **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emery P. | Co-founder & Game Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Forms can become incredibly complex as your app grows. This is where Form.io's massive amount of features becomes a clear plus. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Form.io doesn't have much documentation for it's most complex use-cases. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Forms within webapps. The API backing of a form makes the platform even more usable. ### 22. Great tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** The flexibility form.io provides for delivering a wide range of solutions. It comes as an OSS and a well-featured Enterprise (paid) version. Its simplicity is what makes it a robust product. In addition, I could only praise the form.io team for their second to none support. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** There are still a few features we would love to see today, but I know first-hand, the form.io team is working on constantly improving the product. **Recommendations to others considering Form.io:** Validate your business case with the form.io team. They will help! **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** In general, we need to provide the capabilities for a customer to request certain services by completing one or more forms. We also need to provide a flexible and straightforward way for non-technical users to build the aforementioned forms. ### 23. Good product and great support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Colin N. | Manager, Group Systems Architecture, IT, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Able to get support quickly to resolve issues we were experiences, non-technical staff can create and edit pages **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Did find some issues with more complex pages but we were able to find workarounds and get support **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quickly create forms, most work is completed by non-developers ### 24. Great customer support and training **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** It is super easy to create a quick form and upload it to your website. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** If you are doing more than a basic form, such as complicated forms, forms with more than one page, long forms, it is challenging to save or edit your work, and sometimes your work can be lost. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Form.io gave us a way to input data from the users inside our website, and report their answers. For small forms like the number of COVID vaccines given was beneficial. ### 25. FormIO has been instrumental in our digital conversion to online forms. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** The flexibility and unopinionatedThe flexibility and unopinionated nature of the product makes adding forms to a variety of platforms a breeze. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** For on-premise version, there is a bit of a learning curve to get things setup correctly, and the online documentation is sometimes lacking. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have moved all of our legacy SharePoint lists and processes to FormIO. This has provided a single online resource for all faculty, staff and students to interact wth the Office of the Registrar at Texas Tech University. ### 26. Very useful libraries **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** We use the underlying open source libraries which provide a robust and modern web form UI which is very flexible. Lots of configurability and options. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** While there are a TON of options and configurations, it would be nice if there was an easy way to disable unused options for our users. Some components can be turned off with some custom JavaScript, but component options seem to be rigid and can be confusing/overwhelming to users. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a modern web form building and rendering UI that we can customize for our needs and form.io gives us just that with their open source libraries. We saved a huge amount of development hours with form.io rather than building a homemade solution. ### 27. Powerful tool but quite complex **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lizzie B. | Digital Marketing Executive, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Reliable and consistent, nice ability to customise. **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Quite technical and can lag sometimes. Not super userfriendly for non-tech people. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to surface forms on our website and capture data consistently. Benefit of templated forms that are in line with best practice. **Official Response from Denise Kay:** > Lizzie, Thank you for taking the time to respond. I wanted to reach out and see if you were aware of our Form Manager which is designed for non technical users. Here is a demo of how that works and let us know if you would like to get on a call to review some of our options. ### 28. Form.io is a flexible Forms framework **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** Form.io combines ease of use for non-developers (drag-and-drop components) with sophisticated integrations (Javascript calculations and conditionals, API links to other Form.io Resources, easy to tie to external services). **What do you dislike about Form.io?** Not every deep use case is fully documented in Form.io online guides. **What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?** At Northwestern, our deployment of Form.io supports an integrated front-end form template for some services sold at our core facilities. It is also used to support several departmental workflows in our medical school. ### 29. Great form-building/filling tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Form.io?** The ability to have less-technical users build forms, using standard fields easily.
