Field tools: what are the options? (self.gis)

I'm curious if anyone else has experience with tools for editing and collecting data in the field.

I'm vaguely aware of QField for QGIS. I believe ESRI has their own tools for that context, but I don't know what they are.

I'm also familiar with some tools for a specific industry: namely inspection and data collection for utilities. Some of the ones I know are probably best described as "long in the tooth."

What are the options these days? Where do you go for users that need to collect data in the field, whether it's inspection data, correcting existing GIS data, or collecting new data?

Qield is one good option, there is a new cloud for synching. Mergin has a similar cloud sync for field work. More general surveys can be created with kobotoolbox, based on odk and with some point/poly input (not a GIS, tabular).
