(Original )Information
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Form.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

we needed to generate envelope forms to complete PDFs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Form.io?

Thus far, none. I am sure they have issues - we've not run into any blockers yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Form.io:

form.io is a great alternative to developing a form builder within an application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Form.io?

We've had some issues to work through when scaling to thousands of clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What do you like best about Form.io?

Very easy to create mock-up screens for business review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
