Realy great software, both for integration and standalone. Top support which helps if you get stuck at any point.

Disappointed!

Poorly planned
Poorly planned. The upgrade to v7 have broken our projects as the upgrade changes the defaults. We had bad nights fixing the issues they resulted in.
The forms generate too much nested DOMs.
Not recommended if you care for pergormance, reliability and security.

Apparent lack of concern for security…
When reporting a security issue raised by trying to run the Open Source version of the platform on GitHub, the company was very quick to get in touch to encourage using their commercial product which supposedly had the issue resolved, but showed no interest in quickly deploying the security update to the Open Source version.
An apparent lack of concern for security or developer usability in the Open Source Software platform means I am unlikely to build on this platform as it seems they are more focused on locking you into their commercial offering than in providing paid support for a platform that you will have confidence in for the long term or even getting started with a secure Open Source version to try it out from a developer experience perspective.
It seems like the company is made up of good people, and the product has good potential, if they just dealt with this sort of issue better.

Dear concerned - We regret to read about your perceptions of our company. Form.io serves companies all over the world, and in every business vertical, including government agencies, healthcare, banking and financial services, insurance, legal, and many others, all of whom have serious data security and compliance requirements. In fact, that is what what makes us who we are. We are not a simple lighthearted form-building platform solution. Rather, we are a serious and credible strategic technology platform for building enterprise class form-centric, business process applications. It's what we do every day. As a result, we take data security very seriously, and we invest heavily in resources that are dedicated to no other task than to address any security concerns that may exist. Apparently, we didn't convey that to you very well, and we regret not doing so. Please know that we consider data security as one of our highest priorities. Perhaps we didn't understand the significance of the item you may have raised. Sincerely, Form.io Management
Formio.js has horrible developer experience
(This review is for formio.js, the JavaScript SDK for Form.io.)
Incomplete and shallow documentation, useless Typescript exports (everything is typed as any and many types are missing), abnormally huge package bundle size, hundreds of unanswered Github issues. Honestly one of the worst JS libraries I've ever worked with.

Wow! One of the worst? It makes us wonder how many you have seen! Of course, we hold ourselves to pursuing the highest standards of being a developer centric industry standard solution, and in that context, we are never pleased with where we are. Please know that we take our performance and delivery very seriously, and we strive to be a solid provider of a very unique and capable technology solution. We remain committed to improving your perceptions. Sincerely, Form.io Management

Ok for rapid form development but hard to get SDLC right (source control, PRs, UT, packaging, ...)

We agree with your assessment. Form-based, workflow oriented, enterprise class, data collection applications are quite difficult to address. While our open source solution is a strong step in the right direction to starting from something other than nothing, there are numerous extended requirements that surround the subject. A form is never just a form. It is simply the innocent looking UI to a much more demanding full stack implementation requirement. While our OSS solutions are a good start, much of our commercial platform addresses these additional requirements, including a fully developed SDLC strategy. We embrace your use of either approach. Sincerely, Form.io Management
It's very impressive
It's very impressive. I liked it. Was very easy and intuitive to stand a form up in no time.

Thank you for your very positive words regarding our platform. As you may know, Form.io has both an OSS platform, and a commercial platform. The commercial platform is built upon our own OSS platform, and extends many features beyond the "Core" OSS platform. One example of this is our very powerful PDF solution. Our PDF solution is only available within our commercial platform, and is used by the majority of our commercial customers. Please feel free to write into support@form.io if you have any interest in having a call about this. again, thank you for using the Form.io platform.
Very excellent service and UI

Simply mind blowing from a capability perspective. Although, a bit pricey from a storage perspective.

Thank you for your positive words. I would be very pleased to connect with you at any time to understand your perceptions regarding our storage cost. We don't really play a role in storage, as we allow you to deploy our entire platform into their own remote cloud environment(s). Please let us know if we can help clarify this. support@form.io

Naik - Thank you for your email. I struggle to see how we could have been responsible for your form, when you are not using our commercial platform. Could it possibly have been something you did yourself? Let me know if we can help. support@form.io
Lack of options we were looking for

Of course we are very interested to know the options you are interested in. Form.io is known as a capable developer-centric form and data management API middleware platform for developers who are building their won platform applications. We are notably open-architected, unopinionated, and extensible when embedding our fully deployed platform into your environment(s). Please let us know if we can address you needs. Thank you
Need more tutorials
Need more tutorials.
Specifically with respect to using tables, container, data map, data grid etc.
Also with respect to printing of form as is.
Since I am not a programmer. I am searching high and low on the internet. But time only wasted.
