Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Cross-device compatibility, ease of use, ability to customize the app to our exact requirements and extremely fast turn around time at all points in the process.
  • TransForm is fast and it is easy to set up new forms. You can build simple data capture screens or really complex ones - including those with hierarchical data. Photos & videos are easily integrated as well as mapping and signature capture. The built-in programming language makes it a powerful tool which can be customised to create "mini-apps". Can be integrated into existing databases and systems. Support is excellent.
  • The system has superior offline performance and capabilities. When you build out the system using this product, you do not have to worry about offline data collection. Without the pain of creating a custom app.
  • The ability to create forms for field data collection in a matter of minutes is remarkable. We also have customers in the same industry collecting essentially the same data, but the flow of the collection process in the field is different for each company. With Alpha TransForm we can customize each form to fit the needs of the customer in a very short time. Adding new data collection fields is quick and easy. Being able to connect to our MS SqlServer database along with numerous 3rd Party software connections has opened the door to improving while customizing client needs. We have tried other options for doing the same thing, but nothing we found compared to Alpha Transform. Fully disconnected, high quality photographs, customizable, and fast made this product a slam dunk for our business. Plus, when coupled with the power of Alpha Software, there is no limit in the power of the system all the while not requiring advanced programming or coding expertise. But if you have that expertise, then you can go as far as your imagination will take you. Customer support is excellent and responsive.

Cons

  • Because the software is SO capable/robust, had a hard time knowing exactly how to build the perfect product. Of course the answer is: the first build is never exactly what you want so you work and tweak until it’s perfect. Each change to our app has made it better and more bullet proof - wonderful experience and attentive coders to help with the process.
  • Like all (powerful) tools, there is a learning curve.
  • User interface builder is different from drag/drop. Once you understand that it uses a different system to create the interface, you can develop fairly quickly.
  • Initially we did have some issues with uploading files with a larger number of photographs (>12). The Alpha team worked through this and made adjustments that has been fully proven in the field by our team.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The integrations, and customisation and flexibility. Its been a perfect program to far for my little business as a sole trader. Being able to fill out forms using the app from my mobile, then emailing them through as a PDF or Word doc to then send to the customer. Being able to customise the look of your template as well is great.
  • - Has a very flexible yet robust set of options for the forms and other features. - Requires very little training even for those workers who are not very techy.

Cons

  • The new webforms doesn't work as hoped. It wont submit documents with images attached. They were looking into but i haven't heard a fix yet. Recently they also had a price increase where the minimum plan is 3 devices instead of 1 which was cheaper. It went from 30 USD to 90 USD. I cannot see it viable to continue using the program at this price which is a shame.
  • No major cons but the training and documentation can be improved with respect to non-tech users.
