Hi all, I am learning about ODK to colection my data. I have a problem that what is the good way to combination odk and formhub or only odk. i confused of them. Another way, if anyone have some advise for new participates not only me. Thanks all.
A big part about ODK is that you can choose the components of your
campaign. Aggregate and Formhub are two of the popular backend
servers. Other well-known servers are SurveyCTO and CommcareHQ. All
four allow you to download forms and upload data.
ODK Aggregate is a Java server created by the core team that you
control (either in the cloud or on a local server). The install
process is pretty straightforward, but you do have to download an
installer and follow the instructions. ODK Aggregate allows you to
stream data to other services and that makes it pretty flexible.
http://opendatakit.org/use/aggregate has more info.
Formhub is generally used as hosted Python solution that University of
Columbia controls. You just create a username and password and that's
all you need for an account on their server. It makes it easy to share
data and forms and has different visualizations than Aggregate.
http://formhub.org has more information.
Our clients at Nafundi mostly use ODK Aggregate, but plenty of them
use FormHub and SurveyCTO. Which one you should use depends on what
you care about. Try them all and pick whichever one makes the most
sense to you.
One thing that would be a good win for the community would be if you
wrote up some of the major differences in features you found so we can
put it on the website and help others make that choice. Are you
interested in leading that effort?
Thanks,
Yaw
