    Google Forms is great for simple surveys, such as quick polls, but any logic beyond conditional pages is not supported. Google Forms is best used when the survey participants have and are permitted to use a Google Account to fill out the form; we ran into issues with hospital IT departments. I don't believe there's a better free tool out there than Google Forms, though.

    We are an international organization that operates in multiple geographies and for us the solution works quite well. Insocial - Feedback Solutions itself is still a relatively small organization, but that has actually not been an issue at all. They're very flexible and helpful as a supplier. There was a close cultural fit between our 2 organizations, which made it into a success. If you are looking for a solution and partner to capture recurring customer sentiment and measure things like NPS, NLS, CSAT, CES and open feedback by using short and concise surveys that also drill down on those scores Insocial - Feedback Solutions can be a great fit.

    Pros
    Google
    • Live results: When a user completes the form the results are added instantly.
    • Easy to create: Google Forms has a simple interface that allows for a wide range of question types. Google will even try to guess the question type based on the question (but this can be overridden).
    • Answers export to Google Sheets: It is easy to have each response to your form add a row to a Google Sheet, allowing for further analysis or processing.
    • Ability to automatically collect email addresses within a domain: If you have a form that has been shared with users in your domain, you can set it to automatically collect the users' email addresses without them needing to type it in. Makes checking whether all students have completed the form easy.

    Cons
    Google
    • Sometimes finding the output -- a Google Sheet with all responses-- is a little difficult. It's also sometimes confusing to figure out how to get back into the Google Form Survey itself.
    • As always, sharing among an institutional Google account and your personal Google account can be frustrating. You have to make a copy and can't share across the two different accounts very easily.

    • Survey creation could be easier, although as a customer I did not really feel this pain as our CSM [...] fully unburdoned us
    • I had some comments about the closed loop feedback process and email notification look&feel, however they've already addressed this feedback in the last year with product updates.

    Usability
    Google
    Overall ease of use for staff, volunteers, and adult learners, and easy to get reports and to share reports via Sheets. As a free tool, it does more than expected. Easy to change the look and brand it to your organization, or just make it more fun, depending on what you want to use it for.

    In general it is a very intuitive platform that does not require much training to start working with. Especially for reporting users that are focussed on the results and insights. The CSM team and support department are also very helpful in case you do run into any questions.

    Reliability and Availability
    Google
    In the years I've used GoogleForms I've never ran into any issues with the reliability or availability. Google is a gigantic company with essentially limitless resources which makes it very easy to trust that I will continue to be able to enjoy the same reliability I've come to know and expect from GoogleForms

    Performance
    Google
    One of the things that comes as a benefit of the lack to create complex logic branching and truly custom design is that there isn't lot of room to bog down the software. GoogleForms has always loaded just as fast as my internet service and device would allow it. I'm not sure about front end integrations or integrations into the form itself, as I've never explored it, but on the backend, I've never had any issues with integrations channeling from GoogleForms from the GoogleForms's end of things.

    We haven't used much official support for Google Forms. However, because it is so widely used, there are a ton of articles and guides available online to help administrators of varying technical abilities to work through problems that arise. Additionally, Google provides an official support forum where there are discussions with other users as well as Google developers that can help address issues if needed.

    Google Forms doesn't really require "implementation": simply log into GDrive and create a survey! You can configure settings per survey to, for example, automatically write responses to a GSheet.

    Although both platforms offer similar functionalities, Google Form has a personal advantage and it is the impeccable integration with the different applications of the Google suite, this allows to make use of all of them in a transparent way, which in the work environment allows to perform work efficiently and without affecting the quality of it.

    There are multiple solutions that offer similar things. In the end the cutural fit with the vendor made the difference. As a foundation for future collaboration this felt as the best choice and it has proven to be a great choice since. Developments in the product have proven to be fast and based on our feedback, which makes for a great partnership and experience.

    Scalability
    Google
    GoogleForms lacks the ability for complex logic branching and the ability to truly design it in a custom manner. It's pretty obvious when you land on a GoogleForm that it is in fact a GoogleForm. This rating solely reflects the lack of flexibility which in turn makes it something that wouldn't usually be scaled. That being said, if needing to scale a simple solution, GoogleForms would be up for the job.
