OKD is feature rich, logical and easy to use, and driven by people whose ethics are absolutely in the right place when it comes to providing an open source data collection tool that is miles above any other similar tool.

Its straightforward to platform (if thats the path you take. they do offer comprehensive support if you take the premium option).

The Odata and XLS platform makes the transition of existing forms as well as reporting in a BI tool very straightforward and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Onboarding it manually to save cost can be daunting, but if you follow their provided tutorials to the letter you won't have any issues.

It would be nice to customise it with organisational branding - but I'm sure this is something in the works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My company works in African countries, and needed a data collection tool that could work off-line. We also needed a solution that wasn't priced per end user, and ODK fits both of these requirements. So far my experience with ODK has been really positive. This was my first time building an XLS template for ODK Collect, and between the forum, YouTube and ChatGBT I was able to get an amazing amount done in a shjort time with zero experience. Customer service has been good as well, ressponding within 24 hours to any email inquiries. I would definately recommend ODK, and this will be the solution our company uses from now on.

It is a shame the solution doesn't work with iPhone, although I understand the App Store ecosystem is a challenge. Google Plus Codes are also not supported in the front-end for ODK Collect, meaning we have to come up with a back-end solution to transfrom GPS coordinates to Plus Codes, but these Plus Codes will not be vbisible for the ODK Collect users.

One of the most powerfull and stable data collection tools there is. And a lively, committed and collaborative community supporting the development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some essential features that are important for landuse are very slowly (or not) developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love it's innovative features, open source, and the clear comprehensive documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ODK Collect App is only for Android so on Apple devices you need to use the web based form, not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ODK Central has a very simple and well laid out interface making for some really delightful navigation. New users will be especially thankful for this and the inherent lack of a learning curve. All the same, for power users who would like to look under the hood, the documentation and forum will be more than sufficient. The team is especially open to hearing ideas from users on things they would like added and/or modified. They welcome the conversation and help better understand how everything ties together and even the thought that goes into some of their design choices. The customer support and turnaround time on issues is a lifesaver.

One other thing that comes in handy is ODK's ability to integrate with other data analysis/manipulation tools as well as the API to access, manipulate and manage your data as you see fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far. Did I mention it works offline? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would strongly recommend the survey tool to my colleagues and friends. I have received a lot of help from you and your team, which has been very helpful for my work.

One great aspect of ODK is that if users request a new function or tool and your team deems it necessary, it gets adopted into the ODK system. This adaptability is truly remarkable. However, this dynamic nature makes it challenging for me to find the updated guidelines on the ODK website.

Nevertheless, I have received significant support from the ODK community platform, where your team actively responds. This is really impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's closely related what I like about ODK. ODK team adopted new function or tool. Some guideline can be outdated. But it only applies to someone who uses everyday basis like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User friendliness of the ODK products and highly active and helpful community and leaders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One limitation of ODK is that it doesn't offer advanced data visualization features, so creating visual insights requires additional tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ODK offers a powerful and highly flexible form development platform that is incredibly easy to use. I continue to be amazed at how quickly custom data collection forms can be deployed to employees in remote locations and how well everything works. My favourite features are 1) entities which allow for data records to be examined, updated, and built upon across workflows, and 2) the automatic deployment of new form versions within 15 minutes of updates or simply upon hitting a refresh in ODK Collect. I also find ODK Forum and ODK Docs extremely helpful - I am not an IT professional yet I was able to independently set up ODK Central on a server with these resources within a day.

There is very little I dislike about ODK. If I had to choose something, it would be great to be able to delete projects, entities, and form submissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to create forms and to fill them out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I disliked about ODK, it was very useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ODK is one of the most important digital tools in use by my team. It has transformed the way my team works completely, from how we conceptualise experimental design, all the way through to presentation of research findings. One of the best things about ODK is real-time access to data, allowing us to rapidly create actionable insights. ODK makes collaboration seamless, and the flexibility of the ecosystem enables data collection in all the areas and contexts that we do research. There is a rich and vibrant community, the developing team are very proactive in engaging with users, and the documentation is excellent. Perhaps the best thing about ODK though, is that it is always improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Self-hosting in a large organisation is not always easy. Not all ODK users have a working knowledge public cloud services, and deploying and upgrading instances of ODK Central can be challenging to coordinate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
