Peter B.
Verified User in Computer Software
The Form Factory Application was very easy to learn and with just a small amount of training. Easy to use and can be a good replace to Conga Merge which is NOT free. Support via email was very quick and resposive to my needs.

The best part of the application is that it can be used for free. Apart from that, the user interface is excellent, organized, and friendly to work.

I usually have trouble deleting items inside a collection. They keep appearing again. Even though syncing is on, when I use it on my laptop v/s computer it just overrides and brings everything back. That can be improved or fixed.
