Kizeo Forms Bewertungen

Vorteile

Hierarchy and reference lists. Hugely flexible and powerful. and no code needed. You must understand this functionality otherwise you have no idea of what to expect from a form. I have test driven over 10 forms software systems. This functionality is a game changer.

Header and line tables - excellent - plus calculations - very good

Kizeo has by far the most flexible sliders- configure range, text and numeric

Conditional display of fields through many options

Custom user based fields - which prepopulate forms - helps with automation.

Transfer froms between users-

Initiate partially populated forms then send to user- big step in automation.

Output to word, excel pdf- using word and excel for the template - cant get better.
Other systems have clunky template systems

Automation for emailing - very flexible, very powerful

Connect to database - Postgres, SQL server - minimal code - Very good

REST API - didnt need to go there because Connector does all I need.

When we first started, we didnt know if our project was going to be constrained by Kizeo in regard to functionality. We were prepared to use the KIZEO design as a spec for getting the whole thing done in custom code.

Nachteile

Would like to have a form where the pulldown calls up data from another form.
Would like further calculation functionality regarding dates. ie 9-May-18 + 1 =10-May-19
Web interface for design of forms is slow- we are in Perth Australia.
Would be good to have video tutorials

Vorteile

I like that I don't have to know how to code. Another big plus is that setting up basic data collection forms is quick and easy. I can set up simple forms for my survey crew that are easy to use. This helps them enter data accurately, and I really like that I can set up customized output reports, customize what data are included, and what type of report email is automatically sent, and to whom. Works very well on mobile devices.

I love that Kizeo has helped my team eliminate the need to manually transpose handwritten field data into a spreadsheet back in the office. Time saver!

Nachteile

I wish that the table functions were a bit easier to use. It would be great if the column widths could vary. Currently, it is difficult to switch back and forth between entering data, viewing the entered data, and editing existing data. I can't really use it in dynamic scenarios (such as keeping track of harvest quotas during a 4 hour harvest) where values and amounts for up to 40 individuals need to be updated quickly and summed in tabular form.

Also wish more advanced calculations and functions were supported. A random number (eg. RAND(0-100) ) function would be great for setting up sampling transects for a biological survey, for example.

Vorteile

My favorite things about the app are the ease of use on the front end for the user is fantastic, even our old, less tech friendly guys have been able to use it. I'm also a big fan of its customizable pdf exports. Appearance is a big factor for our company and being able to export information in a nice, well organized, clean manner is important to us. I also really like its tutorial sections. They're incredibly indepth and well written.

Nachteile

My least favorite thing about Kizeo is its lack of any sort of undo while making forms, one screw up and you could lose a lot of your work. Another, and this is the biggest thing holding us back from company wide adoption is the cost. It's very expensive and that limits adoption on our part.

Vorteile

I have been very impressed by the ease of use and the ability to customize forms for our business use.

Nachteile

Some of the customization requires a sound knowledge of coding. More tutorials would be helpful especially to help automate the exportation of data.

Vorteile

The Kizeo application is userfriendly and can be use no matter internet connection works. No specific training is required for a new user, only the motivation to quite pen and paper!

Nachteile

Like every software, some improvement could be done. Having admisnitrator is great however when you are an adminitrator you get an access to everything. I wish we could get two level of adminitrator. THe master one who is managing everything like the current one. Others ones which are main users lead for a plant of a department. THis person will be authorized to do everything only on his department scope, not more.

Vorteile

Simple app to use, easy to create forms, and can create some great workflows easily. The ability to have so many tools built into the interface including exporting to pdf, data queries, batch export, etc., is great.

Nachteile

Hard to manage a lot of users. We have about 115 users now, and it is getting a bit challenging to manage based on how our company is structured. Some of the visibility of fields needs to be a bit better on a mobile device (to organize the visual quality of the forms better).

Vorteile

Easy to use! Very user friendly to build a form, and forgiving if you want to make changes. It allows our customers to see that we were at the jobsite, and we did what we were contracturaly responsible for. With the GPS option, there is no doubt we were there at the times we said. It has built trust and confidence with our clients, and has helped us get awarded additional work. The data is saved for running different reports whenever we need site specific data.

Nachteile

No complaints. I have nothing to say that would improve the program, it does everything I need.

Vorteile

Able to download multiple slections at once, instead of 1 at a time

Nachteile

It does what it is supposed to do, it is not quite as pretty as some of the others but it is fully functional which the others lack.... this platform is a home run

Vorteile

Reliability and ability to customize the forms. It's very easy to access and train new employees and staff.

Nachteile

Nothing comes to mind. We haven't run into any particular issues that can be attributed to the software.

Vorteile

even someone who's not good with computer can use the app.. it's easy . Everybody in the office can use it

Nachteile

Making new reports are not that easy sometimes. Sometimes it close for no apparent reason when I,m entering data in a report

Vorteile

Easy to make new forms. Good API Implementation.

Nachteile

Its not possible to send pictures over API in prefilled forms.

Vorteile

easy to use and save me time when i write report

Nachteile

crash on site when to much picture are taken and when the wifi is on and off

Vorteile

easy to use
advanced
fast
efficient
interface

Nachteile

All about design, does not have enough ways to personalize.

Vorteile

- ease of setting things up
- simplistic design
- off-line functionality

Nachteile

Batch exporting of multiple reports could have more options, i.e. to merge them in one file and with continuous numbering.

Vorteile

Extremely flexible template building in word and excel. It provides most of the functions (input types) one will need. Form building is straight forward. Mobile application is easy to work around. Adjustable database columns. External lists function is very practical. Forms rights and grouping allows easy management of your periodical needs.

Nachteile

Relatively slow online form filling. No option to compare consecutive findings in inspections nor to allow form merging when doing parallel inspections (form filling). Form builder window is limited in size. Custom Excel export does not have the image numbers: Instead of having photos pasted on top of the cells, I would place the photos as comments in the relevant cell.

Vorteile

The Performance of the software is incredible

Nachteile

The Simplicity of the software is incredible

Vorteile

The fact that can be shared and readily available.

Nachteile

As a first time user, I had a hard time finding the history, which ended up by clicking a number, but I did not find it obvious. When we have to sign the erase button on the top right is not the best place, I keep hitting it unconsciously instead the close button, which close makes me think that it will not get saved. Not sure how to go back to items entered, does not seem obvious or existent. I wish there was an option to add bold to words when entering information (spreadsheet portion, where we can type and add photos). There should be a way to download easily from the app, I do not receive the emails with the documents because they tend to be quite large.

Vorteile

Building blocks to build a form. Changes on the fly for field staff to have a form modified.
Uploading and downloading of the completed forms.
Great for repetitious work.

Nachteile

Trying to understand what the icons are and how to use them., thus placing them in the wrong sequence and their function is not as intended, do you start over.

Vorteile

Software is versatile and achieves it's objective well. using Kizeo has improved our team's submission of safety documentation in a timely manner.

Nachteile

There can be quite a bit of back-end work involved to get the outputs the way you would like, but once it's done then you're good to go.

Vorteile

I love how user friendly this software is.

Nachteile

I wish the cost was a little lower, but it is not unreasonably expensive.

Vorteile

It is very easy to use and has a simple interface, it can integrate with Word and Excel.

Nachteile

Customer support is zero, I emailed them 4 times with no response. Is says online that it integrates with Sharepoint but I can't get this working.

Vorteile

The simplicity and quickly get it done.

Nachteile

It's limited in functions. Like to see more functions.

Vorteile

Operational overview during online progress.

Nachteile

I didn’t like that if the program tells you it is saved that is isn’t. It is only saved after you press the save button.
If you don’t do that and an error occurres everything is gone.

Vorteile

I was ale to create forms to suit my basic needs in a short period of time.
I know i will be able to make my forms more complex and functional when i wish to invest additional time.

Nachteile

The copy paste fuction in the app was a bit tricky. and it requires that you manually correct your rules when copying a block of questions.

Vorteile

It is easy to use, doesn't take much of my time

Nachteile

I do not like the fact that i cannot mark and delete something when i want to take that particular item out. we should have a button when we can just mark and delete
