Fulcrum GIS field data capture Reviews

Looks elsewhere.

FulcrumGISfielddatacapture constantly crashes at random for absolutely no reason. If it crashes while you’re in the middle of editing a record, any changes are not saved, so you better remember what you edits you made! It also freezes EVERY time I go back into FulcrumGISfielddatacapture . The keyboard also typically freezes too (this is ONLY an issue with Fulcrum. This never happens in any other app I use). If you use FulcrumGISfielddatacapture for business purposes (like me), please, for the sake of your and your coworkers’ sanity, do not use FulcrumGISfielddatacapture.

The 1.x versions were great. This update is slower, buggier and confusing. previously the map view was limited to 500 pins, which maintained performance. The new map view attempts to display everything which buries the current location marker and slows everything to a crawl (iPhone 5s). Icons have been unnecessarily updated or moved making the UI disorienting. Finally, I've discovered at least one bug which is prohibiting me from editing text fields in saved entries. Please Fix!

If you're looking for a paid mobile data collection service that is stable and reliable, I recommend saving your time and money and looking elsewhere.

I've been using Fulcrum's paid services to conduct home insurance inspections for almost a year using both the iPhone and iPad apps. The apps have crashed on me mid-inspection several times on both devices, losing the data I've collected and the photos I've taken.

The last straw was when it crashed twice during the same inspection... I had to retrace my steps, re-do my forms, and retake all photos... TWICE, wasting my time, the homeowner's time, and my client's time.

Though I've been happy with Fulcrum's services otherwise, their services are essentially useless since the mobile apps are unstable and buggy.

I can't successfully run my business with something this unreliable. I'm canceling Fulcrum's service and looking elsewhere.

I’ve used the mobile app to collect field data for work, and it worked fine for about the first month that I used it. After that, FulcrumGISfielddatacapture started to crash every time I tried to sync. Even if it’s just one record with 3 or 4 pictures, it’ll crash about 15 seconds after I hit sync. Then I have a useless file that I can’t send or upload anywhere. That was a bad deal for our field techs who at one time would exclusively use fulcrum for data collection. I installed all the latest updates and it hasn’t fixed it. Everyone else that used it at work said the same thing. We’re starting to ditch fulcrum and use another site for our field data.

I do not like the new look of it. It’s harder to see the road and road names. The houses no longer have addresses on them. I preferred the older look. From a business standpoint it was clearer and easier to look at.

The updated version’s sync button is tiny compared to the previous one. Its causing emotional distress because I’ve just become aware of my fat fingers.

FulcrumGISfielddatacapture can make documentation/mapping relatively effortless. FulcrumGISfielddatacapture is worth every penny if you can make a living with it. I'd bust out the fifth star if the cost weren't monthly...

This is a great app for any city government, risk management , public safety, anything you need very user friendly

Great app. Very smooth and easy to use. Many thanks
What a shame that people didn't rate FulcrumGISfielddatacapture!!!

I use a Fulcrum app in the field. Saves me almost one hour of paperwork per site visit

I've been using Fulcrum for my inspection services over the last 2 years. My clients, agents, and insurance colleagues all appreciate the custom PDF reporting files that I am able to generate with Fulcrum. Keep up the good work!

Fulcrum has been built with thoughtfulness and purpose, primarily with the field data collectors in kind. However, enabling project managers and administrators to conceive of an idea, design it, review it, change it as needed, and deploy it globally with a single click in 15 minutes or less makes Fulcrum the premier mobile data collection platform available, by far. The raw data collected in the field gives Executives and decision-makers the business intelligence needed to make informed decisions that are critical to business in a competitive landscape.

Easy to create field data collection form-making apps to save time in the field and allows to make informed decisions.

Fulcrum does everything I need a data collection tool to do without locking me into a large back-end system to get full productivity.

FulcrumGISfielddatacapture has made it so easy to get the most up to date information in the field, removing all the double entry which has helped increase productivity.

Using Fulcrum for mobile data collection saves so much time! It’s super easy to use so even the technologically challenged (like me) can learn it quickly. But if you dive in deeper, it’s very powerful and adept. You can create mobile forms for just about anything! Their support is amazing.

I have a suggestion that I believe could improve FulcrumGISfielddatacapture and the efficiency of the employee.

After using Fulcrum for six months for and with my employer, it seems that FulcrumGISfielddatacapture could use a plug-in for Maps or add navigation to Fulcrum so we don’t need to jump back-and-forth through apps it would make so much sense if this was possible.

Being able to see the polls on Apple CarPlay would make for a much safer and fluent travels.

Overall, FulcrumGISfielddatacapture has improved a lot in six months and does not crash as frequently.

We use FulcrumGISfielddatacapture to collect data about our water well projects out in the middle of the African jungles. It integrates really well with the website version and syncs well between our various users. I was looking for something like this for a long time and I’m so glad I finally found it! Keep improving it but we love it! WWFA

Easy to configure, use and deploy for my organization. FulcrumGISfielddatacapture is awesome.
