We use Google Forms to get feedback from users. It has a very simple and understandable interface. The fact that most people know about Google Forms gives people confidence.
- Very basic UI.
- Suitable for all ages.
- One of the most reliable products.
- Unfortunately, there are very few customization possibilities.
- Generally good for smaller organizations. Can't recommend for large organizations
- You cannot add your own domain and branding.

Google Forms Review
I use Google Forms to create and administer quizzes for my students. I have also used Google Forms to create and sign documents. The software helps to test students that I teach through distance learning. I can use the data to see how my students are doing in the given subject that they are being quizzed on.
- Create test and quizzes
- All for creation and signing of documents
- Automatic saving
- I think that there should be a way to add a name block in Google forms and have it not counted as a question
- I think it would be great if we could see the question numbers when creating exams and test
- Allow for easier sharing results of quizzes and test directly with colleagues

Google Forms Enables Quick and Easy Data Collection
We use Google Forms as an easy way to collect client satisfaction data from our customers. We can tailor our questions to our customers to ask for specific feedback on our service, allowing us to continually improve. We also use it to collect voluntary reviews and testimonials that we can then share as social proof to market our services to new clients.
- Easy editing UI.
- Simple, customizable logic.
- Flexible sharing and sending options.
- Easy to access data for collection and export.
- Not as customizable in terms of design/styling.
- Basic logic options are great for simple applications but not for more complex needs.
We use Google Forms across our organization in almost every department. This tool allows us to standardize data collection with a secure service, and easily import it into other Google Suite products like Google Sheets. We can easily share data across departments, and collect input from target audiences whether or not they are already part of our organization or not.
- Security - Data is transmitted and stored securely
- Analysis - It's easy to import data into Sheets or other tools for analysis
- User interface - Forms do tend to look fairly generic with fewer easy theming options compared to other services

Great tool for basic needs
We utilize Google Forms at least twice per month. Google Forms is a quick and easy way to collect information from employees when they're interested in signing up for events, or even just giving feedback. Because it's easily customizable, we're able to make sure each form is unique and curated to the topic we're looking to get more info on.
- Customization
- Abilility to distribute
- Privacy
- More font options--Comic Sans tends to be easier for folks with disabilities to read and it's not an option
- Abilility to see responses in graph form within Google
- More insight into length of time it took someone to fill out the form

Collaboration, efficiency and analysis
Google Forms is one of the most used tools of the Google suite in our organization, its use is given both in the commercial area as in the operational part, daily our technical support analysts record the incidents and failures of each area of our IT infrastructure and in turn records the different affected equipment, this allows us to weigh and analyze in real time the impact with a simple crossing of data in a pivot table, this process was manual and with the implementation of Google Forms saved us diagnostic time.
- Capture of information from clients and/or consultants for real-time analysis.
- Knowledge evaluation for our work team, the predefined templates allow the creation of tests and knowledge tests that are very didactic and easy to grade.
- The acquired data is cleanly integrated with google spreadsheets allowing for fast and accurate analysis.
- The form completion notifications are customizable and do their job well.
- Perhaps the main disadvantage is the customization, definitely the templates available are very limited and the fonts are reduced.
- It does not natively accept electronic signatures, so it is necessary to resort to external plug-ins.
- We would like to be able to implement pre-determined answers in order to evaluate concise points to our work team.
- Creation of customized templates in order to share them with the rest of the organization, with your own logos and signatures.
Google Forms is used by the consulting and data engineers team. Recently, we built a Google form to go out to our customers to ask for reviews after a service was provided to them. It helped us to understand the various reasons for decline in customer retention.
- Google Forms helps to record and save the responses a user gives.
- The options for radio buttons, multiple selection, fill in, etc. helps in forming different types of questions and covers a wide scope.
- Recently, as a fun event at work, we had to send out Google forms to the employees. It had some great images to add for extra information related to the event.
- I would like it to be more customizable (e.g., change in font, templates, editing options, addition of images, etc.
- I would like if we could share just a PDF file instead of the link to record responses.
- A security to check if a person is not filing the form multiple times for benefits.

One of the best time and money savers available!
I work at a large primary school in West London and we use Google Forms almost every day. The teachers and administration staff use Google Forms to send out surveys or consent forms to parents. Teachers also use Google Forms to test the knowledge of students in class. The older students are even experienced in creating their own surveys or quizzes as part of their Computing lessons. It has made data collection so much easier, as Google Forms is quick to create and fast to analyze in real-time.
- 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.
- Audio responses: As of now, there is no way to receive an audio response within Google Forms.
- File upload only available for logged-in users. It is impossible to set up a Form that allows for file upload if the completing users do not have their own Google account.
- Difficult to print results: It is very difficult to print the results of a survey and have the results make appropriate page breaks to look correct on paper.
- Only receive results on completion: The results are only sent through once the user completes the whole form. This means that if a user completes the form but forgets to press submit then all their data is lost.

Google Forms- The "Lite" Survey Tool
We utilize Google Forms with staff and students for everything from a quick one-question test to feedback surveys. Google Forms integrates perfectly with the rest of the Google suite and also with outside users. Google Forms now has a great tool to summarize responses as well as being able to export to Google Sheets. There are a variety of question types. This tool has allowed us to no longer utilize Survey Monkey.
- Easy to create and use
- Simple distribution options including embedding
- Summary tools to see responses
- Ability to collect email address automatically within domain
- Ability to filter summary results by other question answers
- Easy way to print/export all summary charts
- Additional formatting within questions and/or answers

Google Forms, Easy for All from A to Z
We use Google Forms to collect information from our constituents, both internally and externally. Examples include registration forms for events, surveys to generate feedback, and recording metrics and goals. Google Forms allows us to quickly create a clean and beautiful medium to gather information in an easy and familiar format. We love how we can customize questions and the branding to match our style guide. Google Forms is easy to use and train others to use.
- Easy to create forms and easy to fill out forms
- Viewing response data is clear and simple
- Integration with Google Drive
- Edit view limits the questions as seen by viewers. The view function is nice to toggle between to see what the question will look like, but the edit view of some questions (like checkboxes) is confusing for the editor.
- It would be wonderful to be able to assign responses to go to specific users. The user needs to go into the responses section and select the option to receive notifications, versus the owner of the form being able to do that.
- Having a dependency feature for questions (in addition to sections) would be very helpful, so that if a question is answered a certain way, another question appears.

Forms Are Teacher's Best Friend!
Google Forms is an excellent tool to use for teachers to quickly assess their students. Google Forms makes it easy to put your questions and/or images for quizzes that will be graded for you! The site collects email addresses and you can also see grades in your Google Classroom gradebook. I know it is utilized in more middle elementary and higher grades, but I believe that younger students who learn the Google platform could also use it more often.
- Gives a teacher dashboard glance at questions frequently missed or correct
- Grades it for you!!!
- Automatically syncs to gradebook in Google Classroom
- larger variety of templates
- give the option of a calculator
- ability to change fonts, colors of text, etc.

Google Forms: The Quickest Survey Tool Out There

- Google Forms is extremely easy and simple to use.
- Google Forms integrates directly with Google Sheets and other Google services.
- It's very easy to manage access and sharing settings.
- The question types are very basic.

Google Forms for Research and Collaboration
Students in technical writing and other user research classes often use Google Forms to build surveys. Also, colleagues use Google Forms to gather feedback for peer review of scholarly articles. It helps to gather feedback from a wide range of people. One big attribute is that it is easy to use and easy for students and other academic users to distribute.
- User Research Surveys
- Peer Feedback on Academic Articles
- Student Feedback on Program and Course Planning Choices
- Permissions Settings
- Reporting Options

Google Forms to anyone!
Google Forms is being used across the company and by companies that I advise. It's easy to create a Google account and now with more functionalities also easier to monitor the result of submission.
- Simple to use
- Integrated with Google
- Secure
- Stable
- Speed to Market
- More templates
- Native integration with other platforms
- Possibly remove some 'small letters' in the bottom
We use it as a tool to collect information about possible failures of our services and identify through special forms if these failures correspond to specific areas or if they are particular failures of our customers and also allows us to make timely decisions that allow us to ensure short times of absence of our services. We also use it to update the information of our team of collaborators in a fast and effective way or when we are going to evaluate the information delivered in the training to land the information. We use it in all our departments just to collect different types of information depending on the area, with the forms we can collect relevant information in a fast and effective way.
- Flexibility and ease of use.
- The variety of options for the creation of forms and surveys allows for the efficient collection of information in any type of scenario.
- It complements very well with excel.
- It is multichannel.
- Offers free version.
- QR option for downloading forms and surveys.
- More styling options should be included.
- More customization features for form design, this is where it falls short.

Simple, easy form builder accompanying GSuite!
Google Forms is a very simple way to collect data through an easily customizable form (think surveys, requests, applications, voting on different things - there are lots of use cases that pop up daily). It is used across the organization as a part of GSuite. Without Google Forms, there would be a lot of manual data compilation necessary.
- Easy to use both as the person creating the form and completing the form
- Easy to collaborate on the form with other GSuite users
- Easy to share the results
- Google Forms doesn't allow you to do much with formatting easily (i.e., bold certain parts of your question, put in nice looking links.)
- Google Forms doesn't have as many advanced analytic features as a SurveyMonkey for instance; however it is nice for just needing the basics.

It just works
We've used it to gather data from our colleagues and other people in our community. It feels like a simple and secure way to gather information without any special software. People are familiar and comfortable with Google Forms so it seems like there is very little hesitancy for people to use it when they encounter it.
- Integrate into Google Sheets
- Allow us to easily analyze data.
- Provides a user friendly platform.
- Customized colors.
- Overall customized look.
- Better integration of branding.

You get what you pay for
We've only used Google Forms for internal responses because it's too limited in the design options for it to be a client or customer-facing tool. I appreciate the types of questions you can add, but overall it would feel like a cheap solution if we tried to include it in a paid client project.
- It's free
- Types of questions
- Speed of creating a form
- Not enough options to customize design or fonts.
- Too obvious that it's a Google Form, so it doesn't appear seamlessly with another branding.
- Doesn't appear polished enough to be part of a paid project.

Simple Classroom Assessments
I use Google Forms as an assessment tool in my teaching. Students are able to use the form as an exit slip or opening activity and I can track student data easily. I have also used Google Forms as a way to gauge student interests in different performance repertoires. Google Forms also lends itself to research and data tracking. I have used Google Forms to complete my research as I pursue my master's degree.
- Easy formatting
- Easy organization
- Simple distribution
- Data collection could be improved
- Customizations to change fonts and colors could be more intuitive
- Locating within google drive can be cumbersome

Easy to Use Surveys within Minutes!
Google Forms is used internally across various departments to create quick surveys. It's very quick and easy to set up a new survey, and checking in on employee mental health and happiness is extremely important during [a] shelter in place. Forms help us address communication challenges due to lack of face-to-face interactions, and allows us to get data quickly while being able to customize surveys as we go.
- 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
We have been using Google Forms to register for different student organizations and also as a means to schedule volunteers for different events. It is used across the whole organization, but certain professors use it more often than others. I have been using this for years and I use it as my primary way to collect information from students and other faculty members.
- 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
April 08, 2021
Exactly what I expected, and needed it to be.
I use Google Forms on daily basis. My entire sales team uses it to share documents, track progress towards monthly sales goals, tracking of leads, etc.
- 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

Simple to Use. A 5 year old can create a form with this!
When I first started to use Google Forms, it was used as a course evaluation. I had taught at a school using paper evaluations at the end of the course. But, as an instructor, I wanted an assessment during the course. Using Google Forms, I created a formative assessment to gauge student learning and provide ongoing changes to the course curriculum. I genuinely believe in doing this. I was able to adapt quickly and share constructive feedback with the students. Students were able to submit the forms as anonymous. Over time, I started to create online quizzes with Google Forms too. Not only does Google Forms collects the names and email addresses, but I can also set it up, where it would give the students the right or wrong answer, give them their final mark, and tell them the answer. My students loved it.
- 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
We use Google Forms for basic event registration and other form needs that don't require integration with our CRM. It allows users to gather information without significant cost and needed training. It is easy to spin up another form when needed.
- 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.
