What do you like best about Cognito Forms?

Cognito has been an outstanding platform for us in the past two years. We have used it within several organizations, including educational and academic societies and nonprofits. The team is constantly working on implementing new features, which really never disappoint. The customer service is great as well! My favorite is part about the forms is the calculation feature, which essentially allows you to computerize certain processes and assign values to responses. These can either be shown on the front-end or be used internally. When using Cognito for recruitment purposes, we were able to essentially automate the preliminary evaluation of every applicant and assign a score to them. Overall, highly recommend Cognito!

What do you dislike about Cognito Forms?

There's not much here-- the embedding features could be more advanced, but otherwise, everything is top-notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have used Cognito for sales, donations, recruitment, volunteer sign ups, program applications, and the software is built in such a way that it can be easily adapted to any of those uses.
