Overall Satisfaction with Google Forms

Google Forms is being used across the whole organization to aide in sign-ups for off-site events we plan and also to gather needed information for on-site activities. It is used across the board but is primarily used by our Children & Student Ministries, as they have the activities within our church organization.

The main problem it helped address was centralizing our sign-up process. Previously, we would have multiple printed sheets to sign-up with and occasionally those forms would get lost. With Google Forms, we are able to have our sign-ups digital and across multiple platforms and social networks.

Pros

  • Centralized location for collected information. Does not matter what device you use, the information will be collected the same.
  • Easy learning curve. Takes some time to understand where a few of the settings are, but once learned it is very easy to use.
  • Helpful templates and customizable options. You can use ready to made templates or make one completely custom.

Cons

  • It would be helpful to have the settings for the forms in one central location. Sometimes you have to search for a while to find a feature.
  • Would be beneficial to have add-ons already as options within the forms. Can be difficult working with teams to ensure people know which add-ons to use.
  • Ability to add URL's in the final message page after your users submit a response.
  • Positive - ease of use for sign-ups for our users.
  • Positive - many customizable options to help it work for your own specific needs.
  • Positive - the cost, FREE!
We have not searched for another option at this point because it's working well for our needs!
Honestly, this is a great tool for a wide variety of scenarios. For teachers, it can be for tests. For non-profits, this can be an excellent tool for gathering information or having customers leave feedback. For places of worship, this can be a beneficial tool to help with sign-ups and gathering information for events or special gatherings.
