It is always difficult to integrate from already created docs outside of the google drive database.

Time consuming in organizing questions.
Surveying is not that much liable

Reasons for Switching to Google Forms

Pros

Google Forms is a great platform for unlimited free forms. Recently, we have started applying branding to the forms (using brand fonts, graphics) which has helped elevate the experience.

We also have started utilizing plug ins!

Cons

The biggest con is that inside the platform it is not possible to automate form responses.

Reasons for Switching to Google Forms

Pros

t integrates seamlessly with Google Workspace, allowing automatic data collection and analysis through Google Sheets. Its simplicity and accessibility make it ideal for both personal and professional use.

Cons

It offers limited customization options for design and branding, which may not meet the needs of businesses seeking a polished appearance. Additionally, its advanced features are relatively basic compared to paid form builders, potentially limiting its use for more complex data collection needs.

Pros

If you’re just starting out, Google Forms is a cost effective way to collect data easily and quickly.

Cons

It felt a bit limited when you tried to collect payments. The submission dashboard also required a second click to get it in a spreadsheet format.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Google Forms

Pros

Google Forms is so amazing and incredible platform for creating surveys forms, planning forms and it's supported by Google cloud for proper data

Cons

It's has the best data encryption and protection tool unlike others.

Pros

Using Google Forms is of great use, from using it to create forms as per requirements to generating reports according to the results. Google Forms had already been a great help to me. I love the diverse options that Google Form offers.

Cons

It does have some customizations, but it could be great if you provided more styling and fonts to create it more visually appealing.

Pros

What I like most about Google Forms is how easy it is to use. The tool is incredibly intuitive, which makes it easier for both those creating and responding to forms. Furthermore, the possibility of preparing questions in different formats is very useful. From multiple-choice questions to open-ended questions and rating scales, Google Forms offers a variety of options to suit the specific needs of any survey or form.

Cons

I am very satisfied with this tool; I honestly can't think of anything I don't like or wish was different. If I had to make a suggestion, perhaps it would be to include an option to add images or choose a background color on forms. This could add an extra touch of personalization and creativity.

Pros

I like this because at my workplace we are able to create documents easily for such things as onboarding, inventory, etc. and be able to share easily on line or with other coworkers.

Cons

More templates would be nice. I feel that sometimes the ability to cross download and share is great. Other than that, no complaints.

Pros

Google forms are quite simple, which depending on use-case is a good thing! I primarily use Google forms for getting quick feedback or ideas from small-medium teams. There are enough question 'types' available to make the forms versatile and applicable to different situations, and the resulting reports/data are easily analysed and turned into graphs and visualizations.

Cons

Ironically, the same point as the pros: google forms are very simple. If you need to deep dive into the results and want to be able to correlate certain pieces of data to come out of the survey, this is either impossible, or takes a lot of manual work.

Pros

The ease and freedom this provides has made it a tool I use often. For group sign ups and simple information gathering. It’s easy to set up and collate the information.

Cons

There is a limit to what you can do with this program. If you are looking for a specific kind of survey of a way to really customize how it works, you will need a different option. Same with how it gathers information. This doesn’t have the features that other programs bring.

Pros

It's a free easy solution that allows any team using the google suite to pair a survey to a spreadsheet.

Cons

It's not super adaptable. It only has it's basic features

Pros

google forms are easy to build up and share with my group. simple layout makes forms easy to create and submit. great for quizzes.

Cons

it lacks statistics to go deeper into answers like survey monkey.

Pros

Google Forms is a free, user friendly form builder that can be used for a multitude of reasons. I use it as an initial screening for tenants and to collect guest information. It has the basic features and also includes conditional logic, which is helpful. It also displays the data collected in a graph or pie chart.

Cons

It has most of the features you need to create a survey, but it's not necessarily the tool I would use if I needed a form builder at scale.

Pros

I really like the fact that it was easy to replicate forms I use in the office but need to forward to patient's digitally. It was very useful in collecting outcome measures normally collected in the office

Cons

It was very time consuming to create the forms needed to communicate with our patients.

Pros

Easy to create and complete
All answers are clear to see and analyse

Cons

Some limitations on different options for answers- could be more customisable

Pros

Google Forms are easy to use and share. As a consultant, I use Google Forms with clients to make sharing information easier and updates quicker to review.

Cons

There is not much not to like with Google Forms. I haven't found it to be a problem for anyone to use.

Reasons for Switching to Google Forms

Pros

One feature I like most about using google forms is its seamless integration with Google Workspace and apps such as the google drive, calendar and sheets. This helps me stay organized!

Cons

When rolling out large marketing surveys, I find using google forms limiting. For instance it currently lacks advanced options like in-depth branching logic, which in most cases I need for complex client and project surveys. Unlike other products such as ODK and Kobo survey tools, google forms is heavily dependent on internet access, making it difficult to deploy field surveys - which I need most times for field assignments. Think again if you need this tool for offline data collection!

Reasons for Switching to Google Forms

Pros

I liked the simplicity and ease of use in Google Forms, which makes it quick to create surveys and collect data without needing any prior experience.

What I liked least was the limited customization and layout options, which made it hard to create visually appealing forms or tailor the design beyond the basics.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Google Forms

Pros

I like the ease of use, very user friendly. Plus the forms are able to be used on virtually any device

Cons

There are some conditions within the form that do not work (at least for me). And there are a few functions other form apps offer (ie. connecting with other apps for data entry).

Pros

I think it's an intuitive option, as well as beginner-friendly, allowing anyone to create surveys or forms quickly.

Cons

There’s little room for creating truly branded or visually appealing forms. Also, while it offers basic conditional logic (e.g., skipping questions based on responses), it lacks more advanced branching or personalization options compared to tools like Typeform or JotForm.

Pros

What I like most about Google Forms is about some common features that us users enjoy like customizable Templates, real time response tracking and the ability to easily share and collaborate on survey and questionnaires.

Cons

What I didn't like about Google Forms is that it have limited advanced features and lacking in design options.

Pros

I like the feature that allows you to keep a record of all of your responses. You have the ability to create a graph of the responses. You also have all of your forms in one area.

Cons

What I like least is that when you print the document, and you want to print only on one page, you have to change the settings with each printing. The printing is also very small and sometimes hard to see the content.

Pros

Google Forms is free and easy to use, the drag and drop interface lets me create any form fast and easy. Another features that I really like is the real time data collection, the responses are collected instantly and can be views in the linked Google Sheets.

Cons

Limited design option, the form can look a little outdated.

Pros

Forms are easy to make and edit. Also comes free with our Google workstation subscription.

Cons

Too many workarounds are necessary to use this in a business setting

Pros

Google forms is completely free and one ia able to create unlimited number of forms.Creating a form takes just few minutes.Amaze the way I'm able to customize the appearance of my form by changing colors ,fonts,adding image etc.All forms are securely stored and encrypted.

Cons

All features available are complete ,lack any downside to comment.

Pros

Ease of Use: Intuitive interface for easy form creation and distribution.

Customization Options: Various field types allow users to tailor forms to specific needs.

Integration with Google Workspace: Seamless collaboration and data analysis with tools like Google Sheets.

Cons

Complex Logic: Advanced logic and branching options in forms may not be as robust as some dedicated survey platforms.

Potential for Limited Security: While suitable for many use cases, sensitive data collection may require more specialized, secure solutions.

Pros

Google Forms is incredibly intuitive and easy to use, even when first using the tool. It allows users to customize the forms per individual field for questions, short or long-form answers, polls, etc. It's extremely helpful.

Cons

I'd love the ability to customize the form a bit more to allow us to use our logo so that when the form goes out to our clients, families, or prospective auditioners (we are a theatre company), it looks professional and official. So far, I haven't seen this functionality, or we would be using it.

Pros

Google forms is great for a burgeoning business or for someone without much knowledge of basic design. You can use it quickly and without any additional cost. It is seamless with other Google Workplace tools.

Cons

Google Forms are much too basic for businesses that require software integration. To actually use for specific use cases can prove difficult or impossible. Also, there are no visual aides that I could find they offer. It is more difficult to share than it needs to be, too.

Cons

It has limited design and it has limitation on the type of media to upload

Pros

Google forms, like most Google software, is so easy to use. It has all the same tools as the higher end software like it but at a much lower price point. The ability to share and access documents is so simple and concise. You can also have real-time collaborations with others which can be great for teambuilding. Overall great program!

Cons

There are some limitations when it comes to Google Forms. For example, you cannot exceed 500 KB in text and the limit for image uploads is around 2MB. Other than that, though, there isn't really anything that would deter me from continuing to use this software.

Pros

If you need a simple form that will work right out of the box and without leaving Google's ecosystem forms is definitely for you!

Cons

UI is very dated, it could also use with some more customisation options similar to others in the same category, there isn't much in terms of adding your own branding to it

Pros

Honestly, everything. The ease of being able to create a much needed document right there then hit send i awesome an so time saving!

Cons

The amount of available form templates is severely lacking. It could really use some variety.

I don't see any mayor issue than it's not customizable like branding or stylish. But other than that, is perfect.

Pros

This application is very helpful for collecting information and even conducting tests without distance limitations.

Cons

Data security when this application is used still needs to be improved.
