What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Laura at Formidable has been extremely helpful with the details of understanding how to use the shortcode filters and PHP to customize. Of course, actual customization is something you have to pay for, but help with understanding what’s happening with the code has been invaluable and definitely saved me time. Formidable has feature-rich plug-ins, for sure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Nothing at all. The product and support are excellent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Formidable Forms is the backbone of many websites that I have built on WordPress. What I like best is how I am able to build complex processes using the built-in features of Formidable Forms. I'm able to us the many features to implement the required process for the website. This can be a system to manage ticketing, appointment, user profiles, and almost anything that I can think of. There is a ton of documentation and resources that can help you do basic to very advanced programming with Formidable Forms.

Formidable Forms makes it easy for us to collect information from a user, store that information, perform tasks on that information, and easily view and manage the submitted data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Formidable Forms has a lot of additional add-ons and features that are only available to certain plan levels. I dislike this because the cost to upgrade is not justifiable when I only require one of the many features that the upgrade will provide. I am forced to pay for features that I do not need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

Read the documentation to validate your use-case. It is likely that Formidable Forms will be able to accomplish your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've been able to build increasingly complex websites and web apps using Formidable Forms and Wordpress. Formidable Forms allows me to collect inputs from users and then use that information to perform calculations and tasks. I'm also able to create administrative views and forms so that inputs can be managed easily by the team.

I have found that the biggest limitation with Formidable Forms is only what we envision. The plug-in is very extendable and able to handle any requirement that we throw at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

I like that you can easily import PHP into the form builder to expand for a specific use case. We have been able to build intricate databases with the form builder that we never would have been able to do without a ton of custom code. A few lines of code and some shortcodes have made life easier. Support is amazing to work with and usually answers questions in less than 24 hours. The team has a true commitment to the WordPress community and the Slack group is always a tremendous help to solving problems. No system can build for every use case but Formidable Forms makes it easy to operate across multiple needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

The Stripe integration could do more. Right now, it's one-directional for the most part which leaves out many reporting needs. An issue I encountered with the integration was the combination in using Stripe with registration. It resulted in a tremendous issue that took us a month or so to fix but I understand that they cannot account for the use case we had in this case. We fixed the issue and everything is working perfectly otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

If you need a powerful, database like function with the forms and CSS already built for you, Formidable Forms is the way to go. Not only will you have beautifully designed forms, but you will also have powerful data integrations for extensive reporting that can help improve user experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have created an entire billing system for an insurance company. We have also created a classified platform and a social media platform with Formidable Forms. It's great for any sort of data entry and organizes the data well for reports. We have used the form builder in conjunction with other plugins to create piecemeal MVPs for startups looking to maximize function and save money. It's truly a great plugin to work with.

What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Formidable Pro is the perfect tool for developers like me. It allows me to customize (just about) every aspect of the form elements. The VIEWS functionality is just a fantastic tool to get complex behaviours in a reasonable budget.

Getting functional requirements from agencies can cause costs to skyrocket but with Formidable Pro I get to come in under budget, and still deliver a great project. Support is always quick and very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Some clients are intimidated byt he cost, but once I explain that savings they will get by avoiding custom development they understand the complex functionality they get 'out of the box'. It would be helpful to have an integrated PDF printer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

Look at th documentation it's detailed and thourough. Pre sales questions are also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using the VIEWS functionality I solved complex programming requirements. My clients benefited from complex solutions that don't break the bank. Additionally we solved picky requirments with the ability for fine-grained tuning of CSS, and javascript. We needed to create a mini-website based on answers from a form. Using VIEWS we accomplished all requirments. The project also required some javascript calculations which we can easily add to the forms. One client also required a sophiticated dashboard for a manager to view the forms submitted by each employee, Formidable pro comes with a customizable attractive solution out of the box.

The interface is super easy to use and the view feature allows for easy display of results on the WordPress site without having to use the WP_Query or PHP to pull from the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

There are some times when Formidable doesn't seem as robust as other form creator plugins on the WordPress platform. Gravity forms seems to have more plugin options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

Use the trial to make sure the software works for your needs and also review the documentation/blog because there is a lot of coding tips in there which may solve the problem you're looking at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Ease of use. I've used other form builders, and none of them were nearly as easy and intuitive for building WordPress forms. The range of features and input fields is expansive, and I have yet to throw anything at it that it wasn't capable of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Nothing comes to mind. It's really well developed and feature rich. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Formidable Forms:

Formidable may be one of the newer kids on the block, but is well worth looking at for the ease of implementation, and the power of the forms you can build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In most cases I needed to enable site visitors to upload attachments as part of an application process. Formidable Forms allows for that functionality, and delivers forms to the site owner cleanly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only that years ago when we first started using Formidable, they offered "hire an expert". We did and unfortunately that person was less than expected. Some of our clients are still feeling the pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
