skybow: Your InfoPath Replacement

InfoPath has been and still is being used to create forms to capture information and save contents as a file on a computer or web server when hosted on SharePoint. Additionally, it also lets you automate workflows. During the years though some limitations came to the surface e.g., its XML foundations which led to users experiencing issues when Forms are published in SharePoint, such as HTML rendering issues. Mobile versions of forms were also found to be lacking which is a growing contradiction to Microsoft’s “mobile-first, cloud-first” mantra.

Why do businesses still use InfoPath?

We have found that the main reasons why people and enterprises are still using InfoPath and have not yet switched to an InfoPath alternative:  

• Firstly, currently, InfoPath replacement is not a priority and there are other projects to focus on, like cloud migration.
• Secondly, there is still time until 2026 (when the support for InfoPath stopps completely).
• Last but not least and probably the most important reason is that the current InfoPath users have just not yet found an InfoPath alternative that is fitting for their and their organization's needs.
