It was working perfectly fine for a few years and the price is okay. Now, it no longer performs the Actions automatically, I now have to manually start them every time. I put in a support ticket over a week ago, no response other then their (ironically) automated reply when you open a ticket. Seriously thinking about jumping ship to something else.

Our school used Doc Studio for years to facilitate Forms and Sheets integrations. However, we ran into some problems this fall and their support has complete ghosted us. At this time, I can't recommend it.

This has been our go-to tool from the time the quarantine was rolled out and the need to better manage remote employees at an efficient level became necessary. Doc Studio has helped us through that and continues to do so. Amit responds within a timely manner and has just recently help us resolve a workflow trigger issue. Thank you.

I use Document Studio regularly to perform *magic*. Everyone wonders how I've achieved the results Document Studio produces. I love that I can create a Google Doc template, have users complete a form, then the user responses appear within the Google Doc. The Doc is automatically shared with the necessary people, and an email is sent to all parties. That's like, an 8 step process that is performed automatically. Also, the customer service has been great. I didn't fully cancel a license from a few years ago, so I was unexpectedly charged (I already have a different license because I couldn't live without it!) for this license from a few years back. I just emailed, and I was given a full refund. Thank you for the great support and great product! As other reviewers have noted, it sometimes is hard to figure out, but for everything I have needed, a bit of testing and experimentation has given me the desired results.

The software has lots of features for automating the creation of documents with Google forms, similar to how "Mail Merge" worked in the 1980s with Microsoft Word. It's not cutting edge technology, but it works inside of Google's infrastructure. We've come to depend on it, and if there was a better/cheaper option, we'd switch. The software UI is very clicky (probably because of all the features) and the documentation is mediocre. If you need help, the service infrastructure is not a great system (I'm a programmer who's used Google Extensions and even written a few, so I feel that knowledge saved me on a couple of things). Another thing I dislike is that it uses a dark pattern of auto-renewal of the license (which causes all sorts of headaches for my university's accounting department). There's no way to turn off auto-renewal, but to cancel the subscription. This dark pattern started years ago, and for many companies it's standard business practice and a money-grab.

This is an AWESOME product. There are not bugs often, but when something pops up, the issue is addressed quickly and efficiently. The issue I had with conditional formatting was acknowledged and fixed in less than a day.
