- Typeform and SurveyMonkey
SurveyMonkey: SurveyMonkey has more options but Google Forms is still much more preferred - primarily due to brand trust and price (although SurveyMonkey does have a free tier, I'm already in Google Suite every day so this is just a no-brainer.
- It's intuitive, simple, and easy. Like my 6 year old nephew could probably set up a Google Form without issue type of easy.
- This is where not having a lot of options is an advantage - even if you'd never used Google Forms, you'd easily be able to go through every option in a short amount of time and figure it out.
- The ability to import questions makes it possible to make the form creation even easier.
- The simplicity in making a multi-page form is also easy and intuitive
- It you've ever used any Google product before, the interface is familiar and easy to understand.
- Trying to make it look like it isn't a Google form (making it appear branded to the company and giving the applicant a custom experience)
- The responses/submissions are a blob of info and not well organized. Unless you have the submissions going into an integration that will sort it and analyze it, it can be a frustrating sifting through the responses and results.
- The inability to use conditional logic or allow the response to direct which questions are served
That being said, if needing to scale a simple solution, GoogleForms would be up for the job.
Google Forms is the pragmatist's survey tool.
- The best part about Google Forms is that it's free. There are prettier solutions out there, but not at no cost, and that's important if you're running a small operation and won't use the product every month to generate the revenue to cover the cost of that solution.
- I like that Forms has a lot of question types so that you can control the data type for graphable data but leave the responses open for answers that may directly find their way into your messaging.
- It's also important that you can drop the data straight into a Google Spreadsheet so that you can manipulate it to look for trends.
- Sorry, Google, but Forms is ugly. You can mess with the look a little bit to give it a branded feel, but you'll never get something beautiful like you might in Typeform or something similar. That said, it's hard to look a free gift horse in the mouth.
- I'd like to see a few more response types offered.
This is not the kind of software you want to wow a potential client with or use to collect prospect information from your website on. It never quite looks polished enough to use for your contact forms, etc...

- I wouldn't call any of its function elegant, but it's simple enough, and it gets the job done.
- My only trouble using it is that it's impossible to make look like your survey was built in this decade.
I love Google Forms more than a fat man loves cake!
- The UI is awesome
- The ease of google forms is very helpful
- The ability to access forms from anywhere is very helpful
- I wish we could co-edit the form when we are trying to figure out what we want on it. Kind of like in Google Docs.

- The positive is that we all stay connected with our decisions
- Google Forms has also made it much easier to come to a decision instead of constantly emailing different people to get their answers.

- I think checking the responses is pretty easy
- Adding new options, in the list is pretty easy
- I really like how easy it is to preview what the form is going to look like
- I had a hard time figuring out how to edit the options once I sent it out (still don't know how).
- I wish there was an online chat to help trouble shoot things quickly.
- The aren't enough templates, I really like the made up ones so I wish there were more.
