"Intuitive, Powerful, and Essential for Effortless Form Building"

5/5

What do you like best about Cognito Forms?

What I like best about Cognito Forms is how intuitive and powerful it is. I use it daily, and it has completely streamlined the way I create and manage forms. I love that I can build anything from a simple contact form to a complex multi-step application without needing any coding skills. The ability to add conditional logic, perform calculations, and integrate with other platforms or custom APIs that makes it incredibly versatile for automating workflows.

What really stands out is the balance between simplicity and advanced functionality. It’s rare to find a tool that’s this easy to use yet offers so much depth. The pricing is fair, and the value for what you get is excellent. Cognito Forms has become an essential part of my workflow because it saves time, reduces errors, and provides a professional experience for anyone filling out my forms.

Overall, I highly recommend Cognito Forms to anyone looking for a reliable, flexible, and user-friendly form-building solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cognito Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cognito Forms addresses several important challenges for me. It removes the hassle of manual data entry and eliminates the reliance on paper-based processes. By allowing me to collect information digitally, it not only saves time but also helps minimize errors. Additionally, the platform enables me to automate workflows using features like conditional logic, calculations, and API integrations. As a result, I no longer need to spend hours transferring data between systems, since the process is handled automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to use and easy to implement"

5/5

What do you like best about Cognito Forms?

Setting up forms and creating them is very easy. Different features that I find every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cognito Forms?

The spacing of the fields when you print can be bad. I wish you could format the printing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Amy Jussel of Cognito Forms

Thank you for your review, Felix! Glad to hear you are enjoying Cognito Forms.

We generally do not recommend printing directly from entries. If it's something you frequently do, you can create a custom document to format it to print exactly how you want. The document will be generated with entry data and emailed after a form has been submitted.

If we can assist you further, please email us at support@cognitoforms.com.

"Easy to use but powerful form creation"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Cognito Forms?

Easy to create a responsive form using conditional logic, answer piping, and automation with stripe/zapier. Easy to share templates between accounts. Easy to embed forms into a website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cognito Forms?

Can't change name of firm without breaking every existing form link.

Changing a form also changes every previously submitted copy so there is no permanence.

Formatting is unattractive and wastes space when exporting a copy to PDF.

The syntax for their calculation formulas is nearly incomprehensible if you want to do anything beyond basic math.

No way to monetize templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cognito Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was looking for a way to securely and easily collect information from my clients that was relatively convenient for them. Cognito Forms allows me to do this while shaping the client experience and making sure that clients are not asked more questions than are necessary. With Zapier, I am able to take the information from Cognito Forms and perform numerous automations with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Design complex workflows with drag/drop simplicity."

4/5

What do you like best about Cognito Forms?

Forms are the front door to my company. I tend to use multpile companies to take advantage of all their strengths. Cognito started as our basic intake forms but over time, thanks to the option ecommerce, our cofnito forms became the events ticketing and deposit workflow. The design was simple. Ecommerce elevated our existing form to close the sale faster. Previoulsy, we were using a CRM called Streak and an automation tool called Zapier for our Cognito workflows. These ran smooth as silk. Zapier allowed us to use URI's to fill in the same form for multiple cases versus having multiple forms. It ade our internal and external processes efficient and simple for anyone to understand.

Data colletion was shared to Streak and Google Docs ( merge) via Zapier. You can also use the storage options on the Cognito platform. If you have heavy traffic, it's best to back it up to Good Sheets or Grist.

Designing your forms does take a bit of planning. Especially if you are using calculations, exporting to PDF ( yes, it does that!) making merge docs in the form, and even updating other forms. The tech support FAQ's are well written. I found more than I expected and great examples that I could copy and customise. For speacial requests, I found the support team to be creative and open to suggestions for added features.

Non techies, this is for you. Small bsuiness needs automation to keep costs down. Cognito is a great choice to start on workflows for your company. The tiered pricing will let you grow into your needs without breaking the bank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cognito Forms?

I would like more options for the look and feel. Embedding into Wordpress or any HTML website is an option. With some CSS you can get a more custom feel to your forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
