AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that GoCanvas excels in its "Drag-and-drop Form Builder," allowing for quick and easy customization of forms, which is particularly beneficial for businesses needing to adapt their data collection processes rapidly. In contrast, Device Magic's form customization is noted to be less intuitive, with some reviewers mentioning a steeper learning curve.
  • Reviewers mention that Device Magic offers superior "Quality of Support," with many users praising the responsiveness and helpfulness of the support team. GoCanvas, while providing decent support, has received mixed reviews regarding response times, with some users expressing frustration during peak times.
  • G2 users highlight GoCanvas's strong "Automated Data Collection" capabilities, which streamline data entry and reduce errors. Users on G2 report that Device Magic, while functional, does not match the level of automation and efficiency that GoCanvas provides in this area.

GoCanvas users, however, have reported occasional issues with offline functionality, indicating that it may not be as reliable in all scenarios.

Offline access is an essential feature. The developers constantly upgrade and add new features. Integration is key and Device Magic delivers. Connectors and destinations make it a winning app. Desktop configuration is a welcome addition

Cost to add a user to allow access to apps within a paid account is too high. Need to add a user to have access to an app and the cost is very high to do that which lowers the productivity.
