(1-16 of 16)Google Forms- The "Lite" Survey Tool
- Easy to create and use
- Simple distribution options including embedding
- Summary tools to see responses
- Ability to collect email address automatically within domain
- Ability to filter summary results by other question answers
- Easy way to print/export all summary charts
- Additional formatting within questions and/or answers
Google Forms, Easy for All from A to Z
- Easy to create forms and easy to fill out forms
- Viewing response data is clear and simple
- Integration with Google Drive
- Edit view limits the questions as seen by viewers. The view function is nice to toggle between to see what the question will look like, but the edit view of some questions (like checkboxes) is confusing for the editor.
- It would be wonderful to be able to assign responses to go to specific users. The user needs to go into the responses section and select the option to receive notifications, versus the owner of the form being able to do that.
- Having a dependency feature for questions (in addition to sections) would be very helpful, so that if a question is answered a certain way, another question appears.
Simple, easy form builder accompanying GSuite!
- Easy to use both as the person creating the form and completing the form
- Easy to collaborate on the form with other GSuite users
- Easy to share the results
- Google Forms doesn't allow you to do much with formatting easily (i.e., bold certain parts of your question, put in nice looking links.)
- Google Forms doesn't have as many advanced analytic features as a SurveyMonkey for instance; however it is nice for just needing the basics.
- Collecting current mailing addresses
- Employee applications for different mailing addresses
- Collecting votes for a company event/prize
- Surveys with advanced data analytics needed
Great Basic Form Solution
- Easy to use, doesn't require IT support.
- Submits to a Google Sheet for easy storage and reference.
- It's easy to clone a form so you don't have to build from scratch.
- Doesn't have built-in CRM integration.
- Limited ability to customize UI.
- Many different users spinning up forms can make data centralization difficult.
The Obvious Simple Form Solution That's Easy to Forget
- It's extremely simple and intuitive
- It's included in the G-Suite which makes it extremely cost effective
- It's reliable
- Logic branding could be vastly improved
- Increased styling options
- Increased reporting
Google Forms for Educators!
- A quick online quiz to test student knowledge
- An online ballot to vote for officer positions in Student Government or a club
- A survey to collect data for a research project
- A poll to vote for Spirit Days or other community activities
- I wish there were more options for layout to be able to change the setup.
- I would like to be able to add graphics and other media...expand the questions a little more.
Google Form Quick review
- It will help us collect different kinds of data.
- Help us analyze and generate graphs for statistical data.
- Input various kinds of validations in your inputs to receive user inputs and reduce junk data.
- Generates an excel file of response so we can use it, modify it as per our need and share it with the team.
- Gives the power to change the form on the go without requiring to change the form link.
- Writing a script is a bit difficult in Google Form. For example, if I want to populate the next question based on the answer to the current answer, then it is difficult right now in the Google Form.
A Simple and Free Form Making Tool
- To run surveys: Whenever we have any event and need surveys about participation, we use Google Forms.
- To get feedback: To receive feedback at the end of any event.
- Idea crowd sourcing: To get general opinion of entire team or organization.
- It is a free tool with extremely simple interface to create simple forms.
- To create basic UI for forms, it requires zero knowledge about HTML.
- A custom-designed HTML form can also be connected to Google Forms back-end. This allows users to create visually beautiful forms for front-end users and all visualization and reporting features for form/survey owners.
- It allows you to see consolidated results in the form of graphs and charts. These results can also be exported to Spreadsheet.
- Customization of fonts, background and other styling parameters is a bit tricky. One cannot make the complex layout with Google forms directly.
- The branching in the flow is handled on separate pages. One cannot have dynamic fields in the same form.
Google Forms is a Favorite
- Lets you use a lot of different answer formats.
- Conveniently organizes the data you collect from the forms.
- Can't use GIFs in forms.
Google Forms Saves The Day!
- Easy to use features and customization.
- Ability to share is easy to figure out and offers the option to shorten the link to share.
- Setting up a basic form takes little to no time!
- Customization can be a bit frustrating if you are trying to add a personal picture as a header.
- Navigating responses can be a bit tricky
- Accessing google forms can be a bit tricky as well.
- It's easy to design a form according to your specific needs, like asking the customers for their point of view about the service given.
- It allows users to consume the form information in text answers and in graphs, and to filter the responses individually if needed.
- If you want to make some tests after some capacitation or something, it's also easy and fast to make one to evaluate people.
- Sometimes, especially when filling tests, it can be counterintuitive and leads to mistakes in the answers.
- Maybe a prettier interface would work better. It's not that it's actually ugly but it is a bit plain.
- More options to export.
Google Forms - Free, Powerful Tool
- Clear and easy to use for both data administrators and users.
- Can collect a lot of data.
- An efficient way to obtain data.
- Survey construction can be a bit clunky.
- Exporting to Google Sheets creates a document that is too large.
- Google Forms can have more opportunities to add creative flair.
A Solid Catch All for Your Surveying Needs
- Design is appealing and simplistic
- Very easy for the user to figure out and run with
- The templates and examples they give are helpful for some
- Variety of questions and answer options
- Being able to provide more complexity in routing responses into different question sets
- Analytics portion could use some growth
Google Forms gets the job done with ease and simplicity of use!
- Super easy and intuitive ability to set up questions
- You can customize the layout and background which is a nice option
- You can easily get analytical data on your answers and replies
- Going to the different responses via the buttons at the top is a little tedious. I'd actually prefer to just be able to scroll and have each form response show up inline in the window.
Google Forms is the pragmatist's survey tool.
- The best part about Google Forms is that it's free. There are prettier solutions out there, but not at no cost, and that's important if you're running a small operation and won't use the product every month to generate the revenue to cover the cost of that solution.
- I like that Forms has a lot of question types so that you can control the data type for graphable data but leave the responses open for answers that may directly find their way into your messaging.
- It's also important that you can drop the data straight into a Google Spreadsheet so that you can manipulate it to look for trends.
- Sorry, Google, but Forms is ugly. You can mess with the look a little bit to give it a branded feel, but you'll never get something beautiful like you might in Typeform or something similar. That said, it's hard to look a free gift horse in the mouth.
- I'd like to see a few more response types offered.
This is not the kind of software you want to wow a potential client with or use to collect prospect information from your website on. It never quite looks polished enough to use for your contact forms, etc...
