What do you like best about Form.io?

We use the underlying open source libraries which provide a robust and modern web form UI which is very flexible. Lots of configurability and options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Form.io?

While there are a TON of options and configurations, it would be nice if there was an easy way to disable unused options for our users. Some components can be turned off with some custom JavaScript, but component options seem to be rigid and can be confusing/overwhelming to users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a modern web form building and rendering UI that we can customize for our needs and form.io gives us just that with their open source libraries. We saved a huge amount of development hours with form.io rather than building a homemade solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
