Simple Classroom Assessments

Easy to Use Surveys within Minutes!
- Ease of Customization
- Understandable UI with no Tutorials
- Anyone can create and launch a survey in minutes
- It's free (for personal use)
- Customization of look and feel is lacking
- Only 4 background color options
- There are only 4 fonts to choose from
- Difficult to filter out false responses from people who may have gotten the link
- Lack of logic options and functionality
Submit This - Google Forms Gets The Job Done
- It is super simple to use
- It has the ability to add multiple different fields
- I love using the Google Sheets feed to parse my data after the fact.
- It isn't as robust as other tools on the market such as Qualtrics
- The ability to customize is lacking. There could be some improvements
- [The] only way to restrict submission is to require a Google login
Exactly what I expected, and needed it to be.
- I find the ability to track updates on various documents in REAL TIME. Changes [are] seen as they happen.
- I love that I can be on a conference call, or be in the middle of training an employee, and they're able to follow my changes/edits as they occur.
- No refreshing, etc. necessary to have access to the most up to date versions of key documents
- I store all my training documents and various templates within Google document & sheets.
- Lack of editing options becomes very frustrating at times
- [Inability] to change font size is debilitating
- I wish it was easier to save docs and sheets to [a] hard drive
Sharing of important documents
ability to retrieve data without having to request it
Central storing of important files
Not well suited: Documents/memos that require customization
Simple to Use. A 5 year old can create a form with this!
- Create a survey with lots of different kinds of questions from short answers, radio boxes, multiple-choice, long answers check-boxes, drop-down menus.
- You can distribute these surveys to anyone.
- Analyze the data in the Google Forms app itself or in a spreadsheet.
- Receive notification for submissions.
- Ability to play a video and do other assessments or quizzes in the same question.
- Templates need work compared to SurveyMonkey. Google Forms are plain.
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.
Great easy-to-use form tool
- Collects user email address
- Can share responses with others via google sheets
- Can customize questions and if/then
- Can analyze responses via Google sheets
- For the light system, it is, I haven't experienced any drawbacks that I might expect out of any similar system
- Stronger if/then logic
- Specific if/then logic based on which user is logged in
- Collect name info from their gmail account, in addition to email address
The easier way to create a form
- Different answer options, whether it's open-ended, multiple-choice, fill in the blank, etc. This is nice because it gives the user different options for their responders to answer with.
- Clear Results - After you receive all your responses you can clearly and easily read the results without having to try and figure out what everything means. It's all laid out pretty simply.
- The design customization is pretty limited. All forms look the same and must look the same because there isn't much option to change things up.
- Only "text" answers are allowed - respondents aren't able to upload any pictures, videos, etc.
Google Forms - Great Tool for Building Custom Forms
- Easy to use.
- Customizable to your needs.
- Ability to collect data and export [it] into Google Sheets or Excel.
- Need the ability to make the forms more attractive and customizable esthetically to match your brand.
Good for repeated use or updated use where surveys are taken again or on a scheduled basis.
Easy for an organization to use internally or externally
Security is sufficient but I would not collect extremely sensitive data via forms.
- Easy to create different types of questions. For example, you can create short answer responses or select one, or multiple choice.
- It is easy to make things mandatory for the user to complete.
- It is easy to export the respondent's answers to a sheet document and share [them] within the organization.
- The ability to make quizzes after presentations or for training has been awesome for our hospital.
- The visuals can be edited for [a] color choice and you can add images, however, the overall look of the survey is standard.
- Embedding the survey into a website is not as visually appealing as other survey options.
Google Forms - very affordable, great for small-scale data capture, and for folks who know how to design surveys
- Very easy to use, both for the person setting up the form and for the person filling it out.
- Allows the end user to set up a variety of survey question types
- VERY affordable - it's free!
- Not always straightforward how to get the link to the survey itself, versus the link to the administrative page where the survey is set up.
- If your work email is not a Google email, then you must set a form up under a personal Google account
- Not as robust with regards to analytical capabilities as other survey platforms (but it is free!)
- Easy to create
- Intuitive user interface
- Easy connects to google sheets to gather data
- Easy to distribute
- Forms all generally look the same
- Not much flexibility in customizing look and feel
The Obvious Simple Form Solution That's Easy to Forget

Google Forms is a great solution for online education and sales tracking for small companies
- Fast learning curve
- Tons of plugins
- Great integration with Sheets
- Intuitive design
Google Forms is Free, Fast, and Easy!
- Very easy to set up.
- All survey results and data collection appear in real time for instant feedback.
- You can use their data in Excel so you can analyze and create reports your way.
- You have to be careful NOT to manipulate the data on Google's online spreadsheet, which is why I recommend sending it to your own Excel sheet. If you change any data on their sheet, it can cause the sheet to 'disconnect' from your Forms survey so it no longer collects data and you'll have to re-set it up.
- This is a free and good product, but it can be difficult to get customer support with Google; luckily it's almost never needed.
Easy to set up, easy to use!
- Real time data
- Ease of creation
- Data breakdowns
- Data analysis
- Ease of use
- Uploading media from other sources could be easier
- More detailed data breakdowns
- Ability to link forms for different groups to compare data
Simple, concise, and to the point
- It's extremely user friendly
- Very simple layout
- To the point
- It doesn't look the most professional- while the simple layout is helpful for internal communications, I wouldn't recommend using it with clients or for any external commnications
- Sometimes when you type a paragraph it continues on the same line and it makes it hard to see what you're typed so far
Google Forms Save your Money
- Simple set up
- Easy to edit
- Free to use
- More customization
- Needs an updated UI
- More templates
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.
Collect and analyze data easily
- Google Forms is interconnected with Google Sheets, so it is very easy to analyze the data in a convenient manner.
- If we wrongly add some section, we can easily remove or correct it.
- It is very easy to use without deep knowledge.
- More customization facilities so the user can manipulate it
- It is internet-based one so you cannot use it if you do not have internet. It would be very useful if it could be usable without internet.
- It only accepts texts up to 500 Kband images up to 2 Mb, and for spreadsheets, the limit is 256 cells or 40 sheets.
Google Forms for Educators!
- Works great for us since we already use Google's email platform
- Has the perfect form for each specific job
- Easy user interface
- Its honestly pretty great I have no negatives
