What do you like best about Jotform Tables?
Database functionality has been missing from form builders for a long time. For the last 10 years, organizations have been using a combo of forms & google sheets to implement essential business processes.
Good:
- Relational Data Guided by Forms
- Adds much needed extensibility to a clean form builder to allow for better prototyping and scalability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Jotform Tables?
For context on the below: our Jotform account was automatically deactivated multiple times because we were attempting to prototype a Customer Support form that would help triage customer orders when submitting for support. In the form, we were collecting "Last 4 of Credit Card," which Jotform incorrectly told us is not PCI compliant**.
1. Jotform uses a number of automations to audit and turn off their users without warning. I had to check the network responses from the website to finally figure out why my account had been suspended without warning.
2. Jotform customer support is relatively inaccessible. Their primary support is a public support forum**. It is not apparent to me looking at their support form that the posts are made public, and I was asking account-specific questions.
3. When talking with someone from Enterprise Sales:
- All of my questions & concerns about the product were largely ignored
- I was continually offered a contract to sign before any of my questions were resolved
- This quote from their sales rep when I asked how I could avoid their automations after being turned off a second time: "We have over 10 million users on the standard plans, and the law of large numbers tells us we will also get some bad actors in there, so don't take it personally."
4. When I couldn't figure out why my account wasn't working, I logged in with an alternate email resulting in Jotform IP banning me. Since the IP they banned was my office, this meant I had to go over to a coffee shop to manage my paid ($90/month) subscription.
We eventually did not sign an enterprise contract with Jotform when they refused our stipulation that they would need to give us notice before turning off our account again. They eventually told us "It looks like we are too far apart on multiple fronts to reach a signed agreement." It is not acceptable to our SLAs to have any of our tools, especially Customer Support, suddenly stop working with no recourse.
