Google Forms is great!
We used Google Forms for many different operations. We use Google Forms to create forms for applicants that are applying to the company. Also, Google spreadsheets to keep track of employees that work for our organization and budgets for spending.
- Access via browser and mobile access
- Variety of applications to be able to use
- Being able to create surveys using Google Forms
- Adding more options for forms
- Adding more better-looking templates

A Simple Option for Online Forms
I use Google Forms to make and track progress in training module quizzes for the academic coaches that I hire and train in my academic support program. Google Forms makes it simple and free to provide training assessments in an easily accessible, online format to maximize convenience for employees. Because the quiz access is granted through a link and individuals simply input their email address as they start the quiz, it's much less complicated than using a product or site that may require all users to set up an account and keep track of a username and password. Other employees on my campus use Google Forms for quick event sign-ups or other non-academic purposes where a high level of security and confidentiality isn't needed.
- There are various control settings that are useful, such as whether or not to have a user provide their email address, so that you have options to gather info anonymously or track data from the forms in the case of a sign-up or training. Other settings include requiring responses to certain items and controlling access by sending via a link or to certain emails, or making a Google Form publicly available.
- Like other documents in Google format, Google Forms are created and stored within Google Drive, so it's easy to create and keep them with other Google format documents, even filed within specific folders. The participant responses to the Google Form are simply accessed through the Form itself under the "Responses" tab. It's nice not to have each separate response arriving as an email or a file that would be accessed separately; it's all in one place.
- Google Forms has a variety of document types, such as a sign-up sheet, basic poll, or a quiz. Within each type, you have various options regarding the layout and item formatting. For example, the quiz option allows you to choose a question format (multiple choice, T/F, scaled response, etc.) for each individual question and you can also program an answer key.
- My number one issue is that in quizzes, the Multiple Choice Grid format (essentially, a matching section, which is the ideal format for some information) will not allow an answer key to be programmed. This means manual grading of an item of this type.
- Some features are not very intuitive, such as adding an answer key. It's rather buried. The Help option will provide guidance, but I feel that as a relatively tech-savvy person, I should be able to find and use all commonly used features without having to go to the Help section.
- Forms do not automatically include email notifications to the creator when participants finish the quiz, and this setting has to be turned on manually for each form you create. It would be handy if there were an across-the-board option to indicate that you do or don't want email notifications for responses to all your Forms.

Google Forms - Easy to Use
As the secretary of a student organization, I use Google Forms to make ballots for voting and as a mechanism for students to register or RSVP to events. Using Google Forms allows me to collect structured responses, and easily export these responses to a .csv or .xls file for aggregating and analyzing information.
- Platform is easy to use
- Able to incorporate multiple media types (e.g., video, images) into the form, as well as the ability to have many item and response types (e.g., multiple choice, fill in the blank, ranked response)
- Versions are automatically saved to Google Drive, which means work is never lost
- I am unable to find version tracking in forms, which is important when developing a survey with collaborators or editing a survey over time.

The Perfect Solution for Low-Leverage Use Cases
While I am aware of Google Forms being used by other departments across the enterprise, our department (Marketing) used Forms constantly as RSVP forms to panels, meet ups, and presentations at industry conferences. These events are typically open-invite to conference goers, but in order to reserve an appropriately sized room and order sufficient catering it was important to have a headcount that was in the ballpark of accuracy. The user-friendly UI, sufficient customization features, professional appearance (and most of all free cost!) of Google Forms made them the ideal solution for this need!
- Easy drag-and-drop interface with clean, intuitive design.
- NO COST! This is the biggest one.
- Customization features were sufficient for our needs, but would be limited for extremely technical surveying.
- Appearance is professional, but again limited in customization options. Very sufficient for our needs for one-off RSVP forms, but wouldn't support need for a heavily branded high-leverage customer facing use case.

Google Forms Review
Primarily, we have been using Google Forms in the absence of any kind of separate paid software to generate warm leads out of our prospective customers through the help of SMS and email campaigns. Also, it is utilized to conduct internal surveys for employees and kind of data collection, feedbacks, etc. from internal teams and customers alike.
- Google Forms is very easy and simple to set-up for new employees and the learning curve is steep, unlike other software options.
- It is also quite simple for customers to use, by default most people have Google email IDs that help in getting customers data in a frictionless manner.
- There can be a user guide or option to assist users to set-up forms.
- They can introduce more options to limit the data entered by the end customer who fills up forms so that data accuracy is higher.

Improve data efficiency and customization through Google Forms
Google Forms has allowed us to automate and outsource a large number of our internal functions. In our business franchise model, this program has enabled us to include external (outside our corporate office) stakeholders in the data collection and management process. At the same time, we are also able to better engage with candidates in our recruitment process through creating customized onboarding forms that guide candidates based on their previous answers.
- Create customized and guided forms that react to user input.
- Easy data management.
- Create excellent data reports.
- Response customization is linear making it difficult to have a truly dynamic user experience.
- Output spreadsheet sometimes has issues as the form ages.
- Editing the form and the output spreadsheet after the fact is not a seamless task.

Google Forms - Get data easy and free!
Google forms is used in Expereo (worldwide telecommunications company) mostly to quickly and easily create documents and surveys for events, asking our employees questions about their interests, tastes, issues or whatever the survey is about.
We also use it regularly to complete the menu for each week, as we hire a company which provides catering for every lunch for every employee. So everyone chooses from a list and completes their menu for next week.
We also use it regularly to complete the menu for each week, as we hire a company which provides catering for every lunch for every employee. So everyone chooses from a list and completes their menu for next week.
- Quickly create surveys.
- It's free.
- Many users can access the documents and edit it at the same time.
- Easy to use.
- Limitations on image sizes or spreadsheets.
- Limited design features.

Google Form Quick review
I use Google Form to collect different kinds of data of the users and generate an excel file with that data.
Google Form provides a reach set of input fields. It also offers various validations based on input and also gives us the power to create our custom validation. It auto-generates various graphs based on the user responses without any extra work. These graphs help us analyze different parameters directly into its response section.
It also provides the feature of enabling and disabling the form with just a single click
- It will help us collect different kinds of data.
- Help us analyze and generate graphs for statistical data.
- Input various kinds of validations in your inputs to receive user inputs and reduce junk data.
- Generates an excel file of response so we can use it, modify it as per our need and share it with the team.
- Gives the power to change the form on the go without requiring to change the form link.
- Writing a script is a bit difficult in Google Form. For example, if I want to populate the next question based on the answer to the current answer, then it is difficult right now in the Google Form.

Best Way to Collect data from large audience
While I was working in Inforstretch, we were using Google Forms in all the events held at our company. It was very easy to use Google Forms as it was an excellent user interface. I am currently pursuing my master's, yet I am using Google Forms to get data for various events, ask users to input the various information on various projects.
- Collect Data.
- Can convert to excel quickly and from excel to various databases.
- The data can be private, so the data-security is maintained.
- There should not be a google account binding it Google Forms should support any accounts.

Becoming the Better Business: Made Easy!
Using Google Forms has been a strong player in my office for the past two years. When trying to get a grasp on how my work is perceived by my peers and employees, I will send out forms regarding what changes should be made to the way things are run and give insight to what is being done well. This is mainly done in my personal department of residential real estate, tackling the problem of sharing your opinion without being judged. The ability to be anonymous is key with this software.
- Allows the users/ responders to be anonymous
- Easy organization of responses from peers
- Has several options in which an individual can answer surveys
- Could be more features in the aesthetic design, can be dull looking
- Must have a google account to initiate
- When there are bullet point responses, the responder cannot leave a personal comment

A Simple and Free Form Making Tool
We use Google Forms across thee organization for multiple purposes:
- To run surveys: Whenever we have any event and need surveys about participation, we use Google Forms.
- To get feedback: To receive feedback at the end of any event.
- Idea crowd sourcing: To get general opinion of entire team or organization.
- It is a free tool with extremely simple interface to create simple forms.
- To create basic UI for forms, it requires zero knowledge about HTML.
- A custom-designed HTML form can also be connected to Google Forms back-end. This allows users to create visually beautiful forms for front-end users and all visualization and reporting features for form/survey owners.
- It allows you to see consolidated results in the form of graphs and charts. These results can also be exported to Spreadsheet.
- Customization of fonts, background and other styling parameters is a bit tricky. One cannot make the complex layout with Google forms directly.
- The branching in the flow is handled on separate pages. One cannot have dynamic fields in the same form.

Immediate Feedback with Google Forms
My entire school district, from teachers and students to principals and administration members, are using Google Forms to create surveys, formative assessments, exit tickets, and morning check-ins, to name a few. Google Forms allows our teachers and admins to engage with stakeholders, collect data, analyze primary sources, and assess our student's learning.
- Data is transferred immediately to a designated spreadsheet.
- It is user-friendly and easily manageable.
- Participants may upload information like images, files, etc.
- I wish I had the creative freedom to design my header and side margins.

Unbeatable product for any simple survey needs!
We use Google Forms for a variety of reasons. I use it for internal tracking purposes (i.e. various forms I have created so that employees can track things like event feedback, volunteer hours, emissions, etc.). I have also used it externally for things like surveying customers, event registration, and other light-lift survey needs. I would use this for any simple and straightforward survey or information collector. It isn't as sophisticated as survey monkey or other professional survey tools if you need to do anything more complex. However, the user interface is incredibly simple and looks good for the user so if I can get away with using this over other tools. I always will!
- It is really easy to set up the survey or form. For such a simple tool, there is a good level of customization. You can also customize the appearance.
- We already use GSuite for everything so this product works seamlessly with that. You have the option to have all the answers sent to an Excel spreadsheet, so that's very convenient too for viewing results.
- It is easy to set permissions on who can fill out the form, sharing the form, and when you want to close the form to no longer accept responses.
- People are typically familiar with Google Forms and the UI is good—so it's an easy tool to teach to others and to have people fill out.
- While there is some ability for logic questions (i.e. changing the path of the survey based on answers provided) - this feature is pretty rudimentary. I wouldn't use Google Forms for any complicated survey needs that require too many questions or pages.
- If used for simple tasks, I have no other complaints about the product! I am so glad Google offers this in their suite of products.

Form an opinion!
I use Google Forms when I need to develop a survey or questionnaire. This program makes it really easy. Often times a client wants to do a survey campaign and this works great for developing that and also lets my client work on it with me from a remote location. Very easy to use as well. The main thing I use this for is for tests that are given to an employee looking to move into a new position. So I make a sort of a knowledge test. I also use it for voting on incentives for the caller's production.
- Client surveys with drop-down boxes of multiple-choice questions.
- Knowledge tests for the employees.
- You have to have an internet connection to use it, but really most things do these days.
- It has limits on how many sheets or characters you can have.

Google Forms Review
We use shared Google Form documents across our company as our main way of sharing and accessing information. We have spreadsheets for everything, calendars for employee availability, Word documents with a copy to cut and paste in emails and literature sent to customers. It has made it easy for us to all know where we are in a work flow process.
- Spreadsheets work with all the attributes we ever needed from Excel.
- It is easy to search for old documents and to share them as needed.
- You can set alerts for when a document is altered that will notify your employees they need to check the changes.
- It is too easy to accidentally change a cell in a spreadsheet. With the auto-save feature, you may not notice and these changes save. However, you can go back and see what the previous value of the cell was.
- The organization of your documents in the drive can get messy if you don't actively create folders and subgroups. It doesn't intuitively group like items.
- If you share a document it can be edited by the person you shared it with unless you specifically choose not to let them. It can be easy to forget who has what permissions.

Google Forms is a Favorite
It's great for getting a bunch of people's opinions on something or a day where everyone is free. Google Forms is simple and easy to use, with great customization. You can use short answer, multiple choice, drop-down, check boxes, and more for any type of survey you might have. Plus, it's easy to share and collaborate on Google Forms.
- Lets you use a lot of different answer formats.
- Conveniently organizes the data you collect from the forms.
- Can't use GIFs in forms.

Google Forms is Awesome!
Google Forms is being used across the district to gather data from Professional Development needed by staff to Book Club talks and evaluations after meetings and workshops. Google Forms are also used to make appointments with teachers by parents and also work orders for tech support.
- Variety of questions gives teachers real choice
- Sharing data with others
- Collecting data in real-time and sorting it
- Teachers struggle with who has access to the form - sharing the form vs embedding the form
- Sharing the link vs sharing the entire form(adding collaborators) and then giving people access to edit.

Time Saver
Google Forms is being used across our whole organization to create forms and documents. It saves us time because we don't have to start from scratch in creating a lot of new forms and documents that we use on either a one-time basis or a daily basis which has been great.
- Good pre-created forms
- Good variety in the of styles of forms
- Good variety of pre-created forms

Google Forms Saves The Day!
Google Forms has helped our company and department, specifically, assess specific trends and generate feedback. The easy to use design makes for a time-saving tool.
- Easy to use features and customization.
- Ability to share is easy to figure out and offers the option to shorten the link to share.
- Setting up a basic form takes little to no time!
- Customization can be a bit frustrating if you are trying to add a personal picture as a header.
- Navigating responses can be a bit tricky
- Accessing google forms can be a bit tricky as well.

A great form solution for your business!
We currently use Google Forms for a wide range of projects with my company. I can probably illustrate how we use it best by talking about the most recent project that we currently have going on. This will give an idea as to what we use the software for. At The Small Business Help Group, we are currently consulting a local recovery center by helping them with web development and helping them raise funds. We created a form for a T-Shirt Order in which we sent to everyone in their contact database so they can select the size and how many shirts they would like to order. Google Forms is the simplest way to keep all of the order data organized and makes the process efficient.
- It helps keep all of the data from the forms organized.
- The use of Google Forms is very efficient and practical.
- The software has proven to be the easiest way to collect date using a "form" setting.
- Some of the templates could use an upgrade to the designs.
- It would be a nice upgrade if they develop an easy way to include on a website.
- An additional template would also be helpful.

Google Forms Schools the Competition!
Google Forms is used across our district to collect data on a variety of things by our staff, students, and community. We can push out surveys on professional development, collect valuable information from parents, assess students on learning, and poll users for anonymous opinions. Using Google Forms allows us to digitally collect information instead of using paper, extending our reach to a larger population and easily providing data and analytics from responses in an organized manner.
- Easily design and create forms quickly to fill your needs.
- Responses are easy to browse and data can be exported to a Google Sheet.
- Having forms saved in Google Drive and the cloud makes sharing and access extremely simple.
- I would love to have more templates available to customize Google Forms for unique, custom looks.
We use this across the whole organization. I deal with at least 100 separate videos every day, many of which come from a litany of video providers. So, our bookkeepers can get synced up with my efforts, all they have to do is look at my tracking sheet via Google Forms and instantly know what clips I've used.
- Easily filters data into easy to decipher data
- Design is very easy, which is good if you need something good looking fast
- Versatile layout lets me put in entry points which can funnel my data down even further
- Design improvement - while it can provide something good, I want a form that looks great. But there are limited font choices and design is just adequate

Vetted Review
Verified User
We use Google Forms to address many issues all across the company. In my department, we use it to ask the clients for advice on the work we deliver to them regularly. We also use Google Forms to ask for procedures that always require certain information to run (for example, reprocessing data). HR uses to understand employees' necessities, and they made an anonymous form for us to send in advice and complains.
- It's easy to design a form according to your specific needs, like asking the customers for their point of view about the service given.
- It allows users to consume the form information in text answers and in graphs, and to filter the responses individually if needed.
- If you want to make some tests after some capacitation or something, it's also easy and fast to make one to evaluate people.
- Sometimes, especially when filling tests, it can be counterintuitive and leads to mistakes in the answers.
- Maybe a prettier interface would work better. It's not that it's actually ugly but it is a bit plain.
- More options to export.

Google Forms - Free, Powerful Tool
Google Forms is used to collect and analyze data among various stakeholders. For example, if the district wishes to survey teachers about preferences, it creates a Google Form. Data can be analyzed meaningfully by looking at both qualitative and quantitative outputs. There are options to see bar charts, pie charts, and more. You can look at data both at the level of individual and the entire cohort sampled.
- Clear and easy to use for both data administrators and users.
- Can collect a lot of data.
- An efficient way to obtain data.
- Survey construction can be a bit clunky.
- Exporting to Google Sheets creates a document that is too large.
- Google Forms can have more opportunities to add creative flair.
