Easy to configure, create forms, create users, create roles, give access, feeding data, API
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 critical business tool!
ProntoForms revolutionized the day to day operations of the business as my vision was and is to go paperless in operating the business. We created about 10 forms that take the place of paper logbooks in the restaurants. Leadership could access a form and input data which integrated with a Google Sheet, creating a digital and searchable logbook!
Pros
I love how simple it was to quickly create a form. Even a person that has not had time to learn Pronto forms can complete a new functional form in minutes. The user interface is outstanding.
Cons
I think it is slightly overpriced compared to comparable Form apps. Better pricing structure for the smaller business <10 users would be nice.
Not a fan
There isn't many positives I can convey. I have developed safety audits for several companies, using both Predictive Solutions and iAuditor, both of which I prefer. Pronto Forms was a program that our parent company went to and wanted to be consistent and pushed it out to all of it's subsidiary companies; so I had no choice. Creating the form was no problem, however we aren't a company that is at a site for multiple months at a time, we may only be at a project for 2-3 days, and we are constantly moving employees around, which means every time you do this, you have to update your form, then ensure all the users sync the data for it to show up before they use it again. When trying to use the data, it's pointless. You enter data on the Pronto Forms site, then you have to go to a different website to get your data. Predictive Solutions is obviously the Cadillac of Safety auditing software, the one fault with them I have is that if you have to make changes, it isn't as easy as making the changes yourself, you send them into your contact for them to make the changes. Pronto Forms gives you that freedom, I will give them that, but still, as the administrator of these forms as well as having my main job function, unless you are a company that hires someone specifically to manage the Pronto Forms entry and collection, I would steer clear. As soon as our contract is up, we will be going back to iAuditor, which is far less expensive, allows up to three user devices per user (being an admin, I have to change devices regularly, and each time, it locks me out of the other device I am using). I hate giving a company a bad review, but what we were sold on and what the final product was, is light years away from each other.
Pros
It's really rather simple to create a file; If you only want to create a form and just plug and play without the need for continuous updates (of say foreman, employees, etc.) then it's a pretty decent program to use.
Cons
If you have to change data in files frequently, its a pain; the analytic statistics aren't even in the same program; If you have specific customization data needed, based on site, if you have more than five sites, it's horrible to find any use of this data.

The Best Customizable software out there for mobile forms
We are continuously working with Pronto Forms to make this software the best it can be to suit ours and other companies needs.
Pros
That we can customize it to our needs. The flexibility and the technical advances of the way we can do things. Being able to incorporate signatures, pictures, calculations, geostamps and much, much more.
Cons
I can't think of anything that we don't like considering they take into consideration what we don't like and try to make it better for us.
Great Product!!
Pros
We have enjoyed the dashboard interface and the app is user friendly. Their customer service is very helpful. Once the forms are created they are easy to launch. The App allows you to take photos and place them into any form. I would recommend this program.
Cons
The custom forms take a while to create, but once they are created they are easy to edit and make changes.
Powerful Platform
I have used ProntoForms for FM and HSE services.
Pros
ProntoForms is a powerful tool that enables me to create rich eForms that are simple to use, have intuitive controls and rich data.
Cons
The back end form design does not allow multiple selection of items, so moving elements is slow
One Of The Best Things We Have Done
Pros
Ease of use & flexibility. We have a pronto form for many of our daily construction activities and often will create custom forms for specific projects.
Cons
File attachment limitation & not able to attach & send videos.
Easy to use
Pros
I like how we can filter the date range, It helps to pull the report for a particular Date.
Cons
all over its good but if you are logged in for long it will automatically kick you out
Pronto review
Been with them a while, great to date!
Pros
Once all setup ease of use, can push out to all our techs almost seamless.
Cons
We dont have any problems, just trying to get away from to save costs
Pronto Forms Review
Excellent, I have recommended this to other companies who could also avail of the ease of use.
Pros
The ease of use and ease or ability to set up forms to how your company wants them is great. Forms were developed to easily add photos and updates to progress. We could easily make numerous forms for the varying levels or reporting we needed.
Cons
Sometimes we had issues with the automatic emailing of forms as sometimes reports didn't reach their destination.
Intelligent Invoicing Made Easy- Pronto Forms Mobile- Forms
Our company was using a paper based 3 copy invoicing system 3 years ago and our new owner started out looking to reduce this labour & time consuming process at the end of every monthly billing cycle in the office. We did our research and found Pronto Forms seemed like a good match for getting the job done. The mobile application also allowed us to equip our Service Technicians out in the field with a mobile device to process invoices on the spot. This brought multiple effiencies and time consuming cuts to their work day as well. They were able to process invoices on the spot , obtaining the custmer approval signature and adding as many comments as necessary to alert inside office staff or customer management of a potential issue or condition. Not only are we working more efficiently, but we have reduced some of the added pressure and amount of time the Service Technicians in the field were spending on administration.
The Pronto Forms Development Staff and the Technical Support Staff are easily accessible and respond with solutions in a timely matter. They are easy to work with and bring information to us in a non technical manner, that we who may not be at the same technical level of knowledge, understand.
We continue to work with the Pronto Team to develop and implement custom forms as our business expands, and we offer additional services to newly acquired customer demographics.
We have had great results thus far with Pronto Forms and as we continuing to expand our business will look to their knowledge and expertise for the custom form fit.
Pros
On the development side- being able to customize an automated invoice to specific requirements of a type of customer that will still provide all requirements of the business side.
On the Implementation side- ease of use. Minimal errors even though humanly driven.
Cons
Difficulty in accessing the actual raw data files after 45 days.
Taylor Freezer
The last round of beta releases; Repeating sections & Conditional Logic, is a major step forward, but you need to get caught up on the web portal so we can adjust the forms on beta changes ourselves (I'm also involved with that beta team and reviewed the first draft last week).
Still need major functionality added in file (data source) features and more advanced conditional logic to make this product top end.
Customer service in the past was just so, so and Taylor felt like their voice was not being heard and was actually starting to look at alternatives mostly due to of lack of functionality . But lately since being very involved with various beta teams, the contact level has been superior, and response great. The enhancements we've been asking for, for years are starting to become available and Taylor is starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. If this tend continues, Taylor will continue to deploy this product.
Pros
The ease of use
Cons
Lack of programming functionality from a design stand point. We need a highly sophisticated form to make this work for us, and we are not yet there.
Response from ProntoForms
Randy,
Great review - we're continually working on our platform and the services that support it, so we're glad to hear improvements are being appreciated.
You're helping us push the envelope of our capabilities, thanks again for helping us in our beta progam.
Best,
Jordan @ ProntoForms
Exceptional Features, Value, Service
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!!
Pros
Simple to use, almost fail proof for data flow, and consistently functions as promised
Cons
Need to updated form content a bit clumsy
Data forms are more uniform, consistant & accurate
We have always had a problem with delay in data entry. Now that prontoforms is easy to use and connected via mobile network, forms come in on time and in one format set from our form building team. With one person controlling the format and output it makes the process more uniform and organized as well.
Pros
The software is very user friendly from building the forms to entering the forms on the ipad. The process is easy to deploy and manage for all users no matter your level of experience in technology. All forms come in the same format in almost real time. Very few errors now compared to the old methods and also easy to revise and resend when there is an error by user.
Cons
One of our few complaints is the freedom to update and change the form when there is a custom layout attached. The form is then locked which i understand if there are certain changes made it could make the output nonfunctional. There should be a layout builder we could use similar to the form builder. I mentioned this in a previous review and was sent a link to custom layout builder. Will be trying this out and update with my thoughts. Thank you for getting back to me promptly!
Diversified Maintenance Pronto Forms Review
Pronto Forms has provided a platform in which we can give the much needed feedback to the users. It gives us the information necessary to manage our teams and make business decisions. The best part is how quickly we can receive the information. Getting QCs or KPIs in real time as soon as the submit them is priceless.
Pros
The ability to create information in real time. The ability to have custom emails and multiple destinations and using filters to distribute just what they need to know. Capturing pictures and signatures. Map locations and many other features. And the ability to customize any form to any type of business.
Cons
The forms builder not allowing us to use bold or underline or other fonts to really make our forms look good. The PDFs are still a little plain and we would like to make them look better. Things like indenting and others would make it easier to make the forms look better.
Response from ProntoForms
Patricia,
Thank you for the review.
We have functionality that will support being able to see the last QC done at a site! Expect contact from your account manager shortly to take you through it.
Best,
Jordan @ ProntoForms
Pronto - The Best Mobile Reporting Tool on the Market
Pronto is a great product that offers lots of functionality and almost endless customization. I like the ability to create custom forms from scratch or by customizing existing forms that are already pre-loaded into Pronto. You can continually tweak your form in order to get the data that you desire in the format that you desire. The support pages offer lots of advice in order to assist you in getting your forms to perform how you want. I've been able to figure out most things simply by reading the help articles and then trying it out. The few times that I've had to call customer support, I've always spoken with a friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable customer service representative.
My only real critique of Pronto is the fact that data results cannot be permanently stored on the Pronto web portal. In Pronto's defense, it does offer lots of options for backing up your data such as Google Drive, Drop Box, etc. However, I really like the filtering options that Pronto offers on their web portal, and I can't filter data that's over 45 days old. It disappears.
All in all, it's a really great product, and it has really changed our operation in a positive manner. I've used a few other would-be Pronto competitors, but Pronto is the best product overall, hands down.
Pros
It's easy to use from the mobile end. It's easy to create forms, data destinations, new users, etc. on the administrative end.
Cons
I don't like that data cannot be stored on the pronto web portal. I would be willing to pay for additional storage space so long as it was reasonably priced.
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
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.
Revolutionised our business
Pros
We have moved from paper triplicate job sheets which often got lost, took a while to return to the office to manually invoice to a paperless dynamic company. Therefore we invoice much quicker and our cash flow is much better. Customers love to see images / photos of the jobs we do. We can also drill down into the types of jobs we are completing and therefore focus on the most profitable areas of the business.
Cons
It's just the best tool we have but I need to spend a bit more time making it work better for us. Can't say there's much wrong with the way we use it.
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.
KONE safety audits
Our 640+ end-users are very pleased with the product and we've created many efficiencies that we did not have with paper audits. Completing audits is a very simple process using the app on your device. However, as an administrator, setting up the forms and understanding how to set up destinations has been the most challenging part of this process for myself. Thankfully, your tech support team has been very helpful in troubleshooting. Additionally, it would be nice to have more notification when PF develops new functionality. I rarely see any announcements anymore about new products or functionality.
Pros
ease for the end-users
Cons
behind the scenes when setting up destinations, etc. can be confusing.
App worked fine until a few days ago
Eliminating paper logs for refrigerant use makes compliance with EPA regulations automatic. All my retail location information is in the database, so I can submit information without unnecessary typing
Pros
It remembers the log in info so there's no need to enter it every time
I like the swipe feature to navigate the input fields
Easy to upload pictures
The questions are relevant to me and my job
Many details can be entered to make submissions customized
Progress bar at the bottom of page
Home page is simple and easy to navigate
I get an email after every submission
It is easy to edit previous form submissions
Cons
Password reset doesn't work
Support is hard to reach
The best one in the world.
The ProntoForms is an amazing tool and very useful for different types of businesses.
The use of the platform is simple, agile and with excellent benefits for the daily operation of the company.
I recommend the using of the solution to all people that to looking for delivery processes and run more securely services, fast and at low cost.
As a suggestion, perhaps improvements in system layout and new ways to automate certain responses and results between the different responses of the developed forms.
Juan is the number one!!!!
Pros
The fast to process the date.
Cons
The layout.
The move to field reporting
ProntoForms has been assisting us in the successful move to field reporting for a number of years now. We continue to develop both productivity and service offerings to our clients with this solution at the fraction of the cost of a bespoke offering. Truly flexible and reliable.
Pros
Flexibility of provided services, the integration of our own data within questions and the ability to incorporate programming and calculations within the forms.
Cons
Takes a while to understand the terminology of some of the Team and Group settings.
We use this program to track quality and safety inspections and is easy to use for our field manager
Pros
How easy it is to use, and how fast a new user is able to go up and going,
Good user friendly reports can be scheduled
Cons
One thing that would be nice to be able to do is to click on pictures and view them without having to login as I have employees that receive completed forms and have to enlarge the photos
The only thing that comes to mind is when they took away right for Admins to make certain changes, however, I was able to get back most of them so all is good for now
Signing up the member without using paper form. That avoid the data re-entry.
