I am experienced with almost all form extensions. You can’t say this one is bad and this one is great. It depends on your needs. Depending on your needs you can categorize them in groups.
Proforms belongs to the group: easy-to-use for the masses. Unlike mailforms it has a lot of features which you can also find in “groups” for experienced users. But all these extra functions can be used in an easy way. What I personally like most is that many functions like paypal, reCaptcha etc are already built in, and must not separately installed as plug-ins.

I was able to publish a standard contact form in 3 languages within 5 minutes.
I think this is telling a lot about the product. The newly built-in functions are pretty amazing as well. Also, many languages are supported. A real careless package.

The whole thing with form templates and usage of multiple form templates in a form is a brand new approach. Including the email routing system and the easy to use layout system this extension shows that being different isn’t a curse. I wish more extensions would go this way. My compliments, this is an amazing and excellent piece of work.
You can believe it or not - it is fun to work with this extension. The most fun is to use multiple form templates. This feature and the copy functions are making everything pretty fast. Once you have created a form template you can re-use it as often as you want. The new multi language plug-in is a little tricky but with some practice also not hard to handle. A very user friendly and very good extension.
I just upgraded to ProForms. After the installation I had a problem with the access to the form from my page. I contacted the Helpdesk, got some guidence on what I could do. Since the guidence I got didn't help. They took a look at my installation and found a bug, which they fixed quickly. They'll even send me the fix for later installation. A great product and great service.
I was looking for a low cost form solution to a new start-up site. I found it! Initial install was fine. Noticed an issue with .csv file export not functioning properly. I reported the issue with the SERVICE>CONNECT feature (slick!) and had a reply email within minutes. Received a hotfix the next morning. Worth every Euro!
I am absolutely satisfied. This product does everything I need. Very good customer care, questions are answered very quick. Service is also fast, small bugs are immediately fixed. The whole project is very active - no concerns that this will be continued. Conclusion: Excellent!
Of all the form components available - this is by far the quickest, and simplest I have used. By using the template it is possible to create complex forms very easily with a variety of layouts. User defined options like submission URL, multiple email recipients, database records as well as a simple PayPal submission go together to make this (on its first release - cant wait for the next upgrade!) a highly recommended component.
I have been using mailforms several times and was always happy. But if I had to create more complex forms, mailforms was simply not enough. 3 weeks ago I received the newsletter that the new version is out. I waited 2 weeks until I bought. I should have bought it on the first day of the release. This is such a grand step. It's almost like from Win95 to WinXP. The backend looks great and does have lot of web 2.0 scripts built-in. The most important improvement is the layout-extension and multiple templates. I don't need Paypal or database, but I think for others this might be also very important. For all those reasons this is my favourite form component.
For me a software is not only good if it works well. The support is important too. For me from Germany it is often hard to understand English. See this text and sorry for my English because parts translated with Google. I find it super that the website, the shop, the software and the helping desk is also in German. More than this I didn’t understand first how to make a link to the menu. I called the company and got support. This is service what I mean. Now I know that the linking of Proforms is much easy. I like too the Paypal support and the layout. I use this for reservation system of a hotel and everything works well. At the whole this is very good software. Go on like this!
Mac users are used to being pampered with ease. All the more satisfying it is to be encountered at Joomla on such products. The design and the whole interface are different to Joomla’s environment. It is easy to use and easy to understand. Sure the whole extension is very extensive and it also needs time to understand some special functions. But the fist article of the helpdesk is enough to understand how proforms works. I built 3 forms with layouting, custom html between fields and custom CSS design within 2 hours. Although I never used mailforms before. My conclusion is … I wish I had more hands, so I could give these extension five thumbs up.
