Easy to configure, create forms, create users, create roles, give access, feeding data, API
Comments: Signing up the member without using paper form. That avoid the data re-entry.
Pros:
I have been supporting the ProntoForms Application from 4 years. All features are very easy to use and manage. All features are very effective. Users iPad might have different forms. Even a forms that has 7 pages, no issue at all. I worked on API to push data for the forms into iPad. Users submit the records and will back to the server to automatic feed into database. Customize whole cycle was great and success. Creating Users, Creating roles, security access, creating form space and forms are very easy. All features to create form are there. Customize forms can be create easily.
Cons:
As a software engineer, I don't see any cons on this application. But I see that a user can use either iPad or iPhone. One user cannot use both. If user want to use both there will be two license and two user. If a user can use at least two devices from same license and same user name that will great.
A lot of potencial but still a lot to improve
Comments:
Overall it is a good tool but for sure it has a lot to improve.
There are basic features or options that are no possible to use yet, but I believe it can easily be implemented.
Pros:
The amount of input types that can be used in the forms. The possibility to link it with Salesforce Servicemax. The fact that it has sections and sub sections for the forms.
Cons:
Limited use of the templates. Does not allow to change the resource image used in the template. Same resource image for every question using the template. Too many steps to create a resource image. Lack of options to apply some settings to multiple objects.
Many better solutions on the market
Comments: Support is awful, and the product is clunky and requires work-arounds. There are MUCH better solutions on the market. The problem for us was that you have to spend a lot of time figuring work-arounds by the time you have put so much time into making it do what you want you are too far down the rabbit hole to back out once you find out that it is not such a great "solution" that requires babysitting and overhead. Do not sign a contract until they prove it does what you need seamlessly otherwise you will be disappointed. They will tell you what you want to get you to sign and then fall short. Make them build you a demo first, otherwise your in the woods.
Pros:
The promises the sales team made. It was going to require little management overhead.
Cons:
The promises that they could not deliver.
Redline Gear Cleaning - TC Review
Comments: Our organization has been using TrueContext for a couple of years at this point, and we have had a largely positive experience. Design elements and updates have been very helpful in the improvement of our inspection processes.
Pros:
The customer service has been pretty helpful. Overall, I would say the ease of use for the mobile platform has been most enjoyable.
Cons:
Restrictions pertaining to the design of some fields/tables.
What is my experience with ProntoForms?
Comments: It's good, I consider for keep for a time.
Pros:
So, It's very interesting this software, the colors, the frame position. I like because, first, we can use in a smartphone and develop advanced surveys. Also, I love that we can connect with a differents type of cloud for example G suit (I personally use) or even Dropbox, organizing and obtaining the analysis hoped. Finally, It's too easy for start and I consider essential for a SEO plan, marketing, advertising and all is in real time.
Cons:
It can be better, for example the settings option need be more visible. Sometimes, the connection is gone.
Excellent tool for vehicle insurance inspection
Comments: In general terms, my experience with TrueContext has been fairly pleasant. This software has really improved the speed of vehicle inspections while increasing accuracy for my inspectors in the field. Yes there are small synchronization glitches but when compared to efficiency and customizability, such issues seem too insignificant.
Pros:
What was really appealing to me about TrueContext was that it’s pretty user-friendly, with customizable forms. This makes it easy for the inspectors in the field to use it at their convenience, thus enhancing data collection in an organized manner that improves precision and speed of vehicle inspections.
Cons:
On the other hand, what I have not liked concerning TrueContext is that occasionally, data synchronization can be a bit slow particularly in areas with poor network coverage hence leading to delays in information processing.
Easy powerful forms. TrueContext is for every company!
Comments: Happy with the functionality. We look forward to future updates.
Pros:
Easy to build forms and if support is needed, the team at True Context/Pronto Forms are very helpful. Our company is happy using this system for all our form submissions!
Cons:
We are unable to add logos/diagrams to our forms unless we pay extra fees. This should be a standard. For example, the health and safety area. Why can't we add logos for people to understand better instead of having to read everything.
True Context Review
Comments: Pleasant and user friendly. I haven't had any difficulty with using the program
Pros:
Easy to use and increased productivity in the field
Cons:
That you can't run 2 reports in a day without capturing the people from the first report. It is a pain to manually have to delete reports previously dispatched.
Many Possibilities!

Pros:
The seamless ease of use within the mobile app.
Cons:
The difficulty when integrating between box. There is no feature to plot all submissions on a map simultaneously.

Formatting can get confusing. Reports get stuck in outbox sometimes

Alternatives Considered:
The operation management software is of excellent quality
Comments: We utilize Proton Forms in our organization to monitor field service teams working in remote areas. This software ensures timely collection of field data to effectively track their progress. Furthermore, it promotes better communication within the organization and helps retrieve historical data as needed.
Pros:
On a regular basis, I employ Proton Forms to keep track of my operational metrics. Its workflows are integrated seamlessly and easy to teach to my team. The pricing is affordable, and its mobile application allows remote teams to easily update data, monitor progress, generate reports, and analyze data.
Cons:
Although Proton Form's pricing is reasonable, it may be more costly than other software that offers comparable functionality. Moreover, there are times when the mobile application encounters glitches on iOS. Additionally, it can be challenging to reconcile data and create reports using the software.
Alternatives Considered:
Great tool for automating data capture and subsequent workflows.
Pros:
ProntoForms is a powerful tool which allows administrators a wide array of customization to data collection while maintaining a straightforward end-user experience.

Exceptional Features, Value, Service
Comments:
Form the very start, the ProntoForms people and their forms & service have been exceptional. My custom form processes, for entry & approval were addressed by the ProntoForms developers under the guidance of an wonderful Project Manager. They listed carefully and created an APP environment to meet the demanding needs of the salesforce. we covered every aspect, process steps, details on the screen, best formats, folders, data flow, yes, we covered everything.. The account management group was always there to provide support and consultation too.
Our ProntoForm form is successfully operating after two years in production - still going strong. A true measure of success- satisfied salespeople.. that's a great accomplishment!
The PronotForms support team is one of the best that I've ever experienced.. Timely, practical accurate responses and solutions, even going the extra mile to provide creative options when I have exceptions!
Every member of ProntoForms team is personable, dedicated, and focused..
Ask me about value?.. Satisfied salespeople, a service level near 100%. my management pleased with the data received, and I have time for other projects .. PRICELESS
Thanks ProntoForms - SUPER Job!!

Excellent product for offline form completion on mobile devices
Comments: We needed a simple way to complete an online form with our nationwide engineers getting the same experience no matter where they were.
Pros:
The ability to create complex forms that have a simple flow and are easy to follow for the end user. Multiple users have access to multiple forms or single forms and the completion and submission process is very simple.
Cons:
A very complicated menu system at times. Trying to locate certain settings can be time consuming.Prontoforms are also constantly attempting to move us to their highest tier.A heavy turnaround in management representatives.
Easy to use and effective form building
Pros:
ProntoForms has been a brilliant way of integrating their forms into our everyday jobs and custom built systems. The latest version of the form builder is a very powerful tool allowing you to build complicated forms in no time at all. The forms are easy to use for users and do not require a lot of training before using it out on the job. We can't fault the support team, they answer your questions where possible and will pass on to the appropriate person if required.
Cons:
Although there can sometimes be issues when the forms are sent/received, the support team are on hand and is generally fixed with ease. Any ongoing issues are passed onto development for fixing.

Great For All Depts in My Business
Comments: Love Pronto Forms for payroll, safety, project management, Human Resources, Purchasing Dept and inventory tracking.
Pros:
1. Easy platform enables all our field techs to submit vital information back to the office and management. 2. General contractors require our field employees fill out daily job reports by hand but now they accept our reports in Pronto. We simply add their email address in the distribution. 3. We export timesheet data into Excel and import into our payroll system. O more data entry.
Cons:
Would like to make contractual language on our work orders smaller than the rest of the pages.
Excellent
Comments: From day one it has been an excellent communication to vendors and customers.
Pros:
The Purchase orders and Extra work orders make the move smoother.
Cons:
Sometimes the forms get lost in the cloud.
Great, versatile mobile program.
Pros:
Ease of use! ProntoForms can be used across the board with any skill level. The more technically savvy you are, the better you can maneuver the program and fully utilize its features. Google connections is what makes Pronto that much more valuable to me as I am a heavy Google user. I've worked with several companies introducing ProntoForms and I have successfully been able to create a program utilizing Pronto tailored to each company and their specific set of needs.
Cons:
During transition times of heavy updates, problems and errors can arise within the mobile app and the web based portal. It can be fairly inconvenient and confusing to users who do not know the ins and outs of the app.
Powerful tool and fit for purpose
Comments: Play a key role in our business transiting to electronic and automated reporting
Pros:
The web portal is user friendly, and the Documentation Portal helps you understand or learn each feature and function.
Cons:
Unfortunately, the company is based outside of Australia, hence there is time lag when we need their IT support.
