We survey clients for several reasons. First being to determine is they're happy with out service. This allows us to fix any potential issues. Also, if we're hosting dinners/functions at various conferences, we use the survey to allow them to RSVP and communicate with us for detaisl surrounding the event.
  • Easy set up
  • Easy data collection
  • helps us to communicate with clients easily.
  • support can be hard to communicate with
  • configuration takes a while to learn
  • manipulating the data collected could be easier.
There are survey programs that are easier to use. If you are very savvy, Google Surveys could be a good fit. Also, the price is a tad higher than some competitors who have similar products and features.

Google Surveys are used for both internal and external use cases. Internally to collect data from employees - like their personal details for managing communication post their exit from the organization.

Externally to collect data from business stakeholders - preferences, point of views or even their personal details for follow up communications.

Google surveys are easy to setup and and are integrated e2e with our whole Google collaboration suite.
  • Ease of setup
  • Ease of responding to
  • Ease of integration with other Google or non Google products
  • It would be good to not limit to have a Gmail account to log into a Google survey
  • Self populate the email address with an option to update to the used
  • AI related suggestions for familiar data sets
Google Surveys are easy to setup and configure with the questions you need to get answered. They can be sent easily integrated via email or even as standalone survey link. They help collect data, point of view and just about anything you need to collect from both internal and external stakeholders - employees, business customers, etc. Google's ease of use is its best selling feature

We use Google Surveys mostly to find availability for team meetings, events, and outings. It's so easy for people to fill out and see which dates/times work the best for most people. It makes my job as an admin so much easier! Instead of having to mass email or text a long message, it can just be done with a couple of clicks, and I get the responses I need a lot quicker.
  • Multiple choice, short answers, checkbox, and more options.
  • Collecting names, emails, or both.
  • Making certain questions required and others as optional.
  • I'd like to see a selection for automatically collecting names.
  • More pre-formatted templates for selecting multiple preferred dates and time frames for get-togethers.
  • Easier to be notified when someone has filled out your Google survey.
Google Surveys is perfect when trying to collaborate with co-workers and find a date & time that works best for them to get together, whether it's for a regular meeting, team photo session, celebratory dinner, or Christmas celebration. It's also great for getting feedback on proposed changes that would affect the team.

I've actually used Google Surveys more with the nonprofit group I'm with than in my career position, but all the times I've used it I found it easy to set up. I've also found it easy to get results, you can share within the Google Docs environment and you can add other users to help with the survey. We have used Google Surveys for everything from (at my job) collecting student data in regards to particular focus group functions, regarding program activity and engagement, and about the location of our college, in general. For the nonprofit, we've used Google Surveys to gather information about our members, ask members specific questions regarding individual teams and their work or visits they've attended with their therapy animals. We've also collected voting data for our board elections, and otherwise and generally have used it to measure the pulse of how our members are feeling (during the pandemic) about continuing with Happy Tails as a member or if they felt more comfortable waiting until after the pandemic is over.
  • Measure the pulse of how our members are feeling (yes/no questions, multiple-choice questions).
  • Learn how students are doing with specific projects (textual-based questions, essay-type answers).
  • Run an election for board members (use of the "other" notation so that people can write in their own choices).
  • It's a little cumbersome in its "form" in that you might have to wait a bit for something to come up for you to choose.
  • Using Data Studio is great but if you don't have experience with it there's quite a learning curve.
  • It's more digital than printable...
I do appreciate the ease of use and connection Google Surveys has with other Google products - that's a huge plus. While I'm a fairly digitally-minded user, some of our users are not, so that becomes a challenge if you want them to see the Data Studio reports or be able to print something for them. But if you're completely digital, gaining insight from the reports is very valuable. We've mostly used Google Surveys to generate answers to questions we have on how things are running or to collect information from our users/members/students on how they "feel" about particular topics, situations, or their work, in general. For that, it's been a breeze. But we're finding for more specific surveys that may have decision trees associated with the answers (if they answer "this" then send them to "that") we work more with Qualtrics. But you can't beat the price of Google Surveys when you can begin one for $50.

I have used Google Surveys for the last 10 years in the Department of Education as a Substitute Teacher and as a Teacher for the last 8 years. Google Surveys has always provided an excellent venue for sharing your thoughts in a poll format and I think that it has gotten a lot better over the years. I must say that this product is highly recommended because Google has put a lot of effort into designing this product to serve its purpose and provide a means for polling individuals.
  • Reaches the audience well.
  • I am able to design my own survey.
  • I get real insights from my students after I create the Google Survey in the Google Classroom.
  • The integration with the Google Classroom is phenomenal.
  • I would like to see the analyzed data broken up in a different manner or different charts.
  • I would like to see the survey results instantly.
  • I would like to share results in a more cohesive manner.
I have used Google Surveys extensively these past two years with the Google Classroom and I truly love the integration between Google Surveys and the Google Classroom because in a few hours I am able to see the students' response to the particular survey. I also enjoy the functionality of the Google Surveys and the ease that I can use the program.

Intuitive and Versatile

We have used it in the Classified Employee Council when sending out surveys for meetings we have with the classified employees. We have meetings with the President where employees can submit questions anonymously and we usually send them out as Google Surveys. We also use them for other surveys such as asking for feedback after a meeting or special training.
  • The way the data comes out on a spreadsheet is very helpful, easy to see separate answers.
  • Very intuitive, easy to use, and learn how to use.
  • Versatile, can be used for many things, and has a variety of types of questions that you can add to your survey.
  • While it is very intuitive, there are many ways you can fine-tune your survey (such as word limits, counts, etc) and these are not always obvious where those settings are.
  • I would like to see some ways of changing the formatting (and maybe I just haven't explored that yet), ie: colors, set up on the screen.
It's great for gathering information. I have used it for gathering questions for our President's meeting. After all submissions are in, you can clearly see the questions in separate rows on a spreadsheet. Makes it very easy to see and differentiate between questions. Also when we were getting some responses that we're getting too wordy (rants), we were able to fix that problem by introducing a word limit to our survey. This way people were forced to get their questions across within our word limit and we had less ranting our responses.

Google Surveys are used for event RSVPs and simple forms we send out to our clients.
  • ease-of-use
  • fast setup
  • intuitive options
  • advanced functionality
  • better templates
  • advanced design options
For simple surveys, event RSVPs and other quick options, Google Surveys is a great option. It's intuitive to use when knowing other Google products and works easily with a Google login/account.
