About

FormKiQ is a new way to manage documents in the cloud, using a powerful Open Source API paired with a dynamic ReactJS web client, both of which you can build on and extend. You can add FormKiQ to an existing application or product or install and run it as a full-featured electronic document management system on its own, with as little or as much customization as you need. NOTE: along with Pro and Enterprise versions, there is a free open-core version, FormKiQ Core, that provides the essential features of a document management system. What makes FormKiQ stand out from other document management software is that it is highly flexible and customizable, due to being designed and built with API-First principles and using Amazon Web Services (AWS). This allows a level of customization and flexibility that is far beyond what other electronic document management systems can offer, and that's a good reason why tech-oriented companies across a wide range of industries are choosing FormKiQ.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This system is light weight, easy to use, and has everything you need to build an infinitely customizable document management solution for any industry. We are using it for a case management system for a law firm and dealing with millions of documents, and FormKiQ has allowed us to innovate in ways we never could before. The best part about it is the support. Mike and Regan are quick to respond to questions, highly knowledgable about all the technology involved, and never fail to find a solution to any issue that comes up.
  • FormKiQ provided the exact solution as needed, including a custom module to run a credit check on the applicant. They are quick to respond to questions and support requests, and have very deep knowledge of their tool and the AWS cloud.
  • Self-contained backend service that we easily embedded in our application, wrapping in our own REST API's. Provides a UI for admin and testing, but we are using in a headless mode, integrated into our large microservice architecture. Has the core features we need and is not bloated by other things we don't care about. Saved time and de-risked this component of our project, allowing us to focus on building our differentiators. Fast, extremely inexpensive to run in AWS serverless - both functions and database. Great support from the FormKiQ team, in response to requests to extend features.

Cons

  • Very infrequently, we will bump up against a problem that the software doesn't yet have a feature to address. This is a rare thorn in our side, but the product is new and growing rapidly. The up side is that everything on our wishlist is also on the development roadmap, and Mike and Regan always work closely with us to understand our needs as they design new features.
  • The web interface wasn't as turn-key as we wanted at first, with more coding required to add our branding. But they were quick to provide a solution that was an enhancement to FormKiQ itself, rather than charging us for changes.
  • We extended the query/searching capability, engaging the FormKiQ team. Would like to see some metadata support for attributes and tags.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • End-to-end document management, from printing to archiving, with all steps in between. I am constantly amazed at the thought and depth that goes into this product suite. I love all the useful features embedded in this software. Using rule files I can create custom forms and read/write data directly from/to BBx files from BASIS International. I can add documents to the archive and create cross-referenced links to other documents. I can even use the internal object-oriented programming to do more operations. Everything is spelled out nicely in the documentation and when I need help beyond that, I get timely answers through their support ticket system. I haven't had a chance to use the DocFlow document routing system yet, but look forward to it.
  • Easy to use. Create the forms in MS Word and save as a PDF or PCL in minutes.
  • Not sure what programmer needed this crap for, but it's biting us in the butt now. I suppose some small part of our solution uses it to generate reports of some kind. But likely better options exist now and likely existed when it was first made too.
  • I like the flexibility the most, if you can dream it up in your head you can do it with UnForm. When I first started in using it in 2001 I installed the software, learned enough to be useful and was producing documents with it by the end of the first day. Since then I have used it for many clients, saving a lot of money on forms costs and eventually doing things we had never done before, such as document archiving.
  • Unform is an all-in-one solution for document markup, archiving, scanning, and workflow. It's easy to program, robust, and the tools get better every version.
  • Easy To Use and Very Flexible to setup in connection with Acumatica - easy installation wizard that allows deployment to users.
