Innovative. Cutting-edge. Secure. Elegant. I have been looking for a great tool to keep in touch with my customers, and it was not that easy because one of my landing pages was created on pure html (I did not use any CMS), that's why it was quite challenging to find anything suitable. I needed something to insert into my html code in order to have an easy, convenient, comfortable, effortless, efficient and accessible way to communicate with my customers. Firstly I tried to use some survey forms, but they were expensive, and their "thank you" page looked misleading which caused problems, besides survey forms let my customers use them only once. It was absolutely inappropriate and I had to look for a better way for getting feedback and appointments. I am as happy as a lark to have such a great contact form on my landing page. I have uploaded my logo and my background for this form, created a link of the form and added this link to my landing page, by using a nice, neat and beautiful button (created on my own) which, as soon as the customer presses the button redirects them to the contact form. There are some additional ways of integration, but I have not tried all of them yet. Thank you, guys, Cognito Contact Form is the best contact form I have ever tried\! > > **Cons**: Well, it would be great if there were some integration functions like "redirecting to Cognito Forms + having your own domain link". You know, sometimes some web-page owners desperately need integration but they don't have enough space on their pages to insert additional scripts or codes over there. Do you have such a function? Maybe I did not search carefully enough? > > It is just amazing\! Stylish, elegant, innovative, useful, user-friendly, secure, adaptive, responsive\! Cutting-edge and easily accessible. An effortless and meaningful way to make any landing page better. ----- ### "Great product for easy forms" — 5.0/5 > **Leah** | *1 May 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very easy to use. I love the way it collects data in an organized way. It's super helpful that I receive an email notification every time someone fills out my form. It also always asks for 2-factor authentication, which increases security. I love that I can designate certain forms as favorites, and they will be at the top of the menu on the left side. > > **Cons**: Even though the 2-factor authentication is good for security purposes, I wish I could turn it off because sometimes my assistant logs in for me, and she always has to text me to ask for the code, and I'm not always looking at my phone or email then. > > Cognito has been wonderful for storing information and creating contracts for my clients. It's very organized and user-friendly. I've had two assistants over the years and both of them didn't have any trouble figuring out how to use it. ----- ### "Terrible Terrible Terrible" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 May 2018* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the fact that the forms were clean looking and you could customize the forms to your liking. > > **Cons**: They shut your form down instantly if it is reported without even investigating thus putting the burden on the customer. I mean as soon as you hit submit on the abuse report I received an automated email stating my form was shut down due to a violation. I know because I tested it out. What about some child playing around on your site or a competitor even. They also won't let you collect credit card info unless you are using their payment processors. Talk about monopoly. I will be using their competitor from now on. > > None. ----- ### "A great form-builder, easy to use and easy to adapt to most needs" — 5.0/5 > **Vilho** | *4 May 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a great form builder that has helped us build our front-end on our website without needing other programming tools. It is easy to learn, easy to make adjustments and has enough flexibility. > > **Cons**: It's all great. The form tool has options to choose language of the form, so another future feature would be to allow for automatic translations of forms. Now we have multiple forms in different languages and need to copy/translate manually. > > We have used Cognito for several years and have a lot of forms with them. The system works well for our needs and the support is also quick and efficient. ----- ### "Versatile\!" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *3 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cognito gives is an easy to use interface and very easy to organize the data collected. Automatic email responses are great\! > > **Cons**: Honestly, for us, it does everything we need so no complaints. Any questions i have is likely due to me just sitting down and figuring them out in the system. > > Wonderful\! We use it for a variety of things both internally and externally. Our team members and customers love it\! ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/116124/cognito-forms?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/116124/cognito-forms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
