Endatix vs Orbeon Forms

Endatix is a self-hosted, open-source platform for managing forms and surveys, with deployment options for teams that need control over their data. Its SurveyJS-based drag-and-drop builder supports more than 20 question types, conditional logic, validation, themes, custom question types and multiple languages. Forms can collect anonymous or authenticated responses, accept partial submissions that respondents resume later, and be versioned without breaking existing submissions. Pre-filled forms can draw on historical submissions or third-party integrations. Webhooks can trigger notifications, follow-up actions and data transfers to CRM or chat apps. Submissions and codebooks export to CSV, XLSX, XML and PDF. Storage options include Azure Blob Storage, Amazon S3, RustFS and other S3-compatible providers. Endatix runs natively or in Docker on Linux, Windows Server and macOS, and can be deployed on cloud or on-premises infrastructure. The self-hosted Headless API is free under an MIT license; hosted Endatix Cloud starts at $360 per month. Hub license pricing depends on the number and type of environments.

Orbeon Forms manages web forms from design and testing through publication, data capture, validation, and submission. Its Form Builder supports validation and visibility or editability rules, calculations, repeating sections and grids, and multi-page forms. Forms can collect attachments and produce PDF and Excel files. Deployment can be on-premises or in the cloud, with the server running in a Java servlet container. Integrations include Liferay, server-side and JavaScript embedding, React and Angular components, and HTTP and database service endpoints. Supported databases include Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and DB2, with an API for other databases or backends. Selected fields can be encrypted at rest and in transit to and from the persistence API; the search API cannot search those fields or return decrypted values. The Community Edition is available at no charge. Paid PE subscriptions start at $1,300 a year per server, and a 90-day trial is listed. Silver and Gold include different support-hour and response-time provisions.
