Overall Satisfaction with Google Forms

Google forms are used for office meeting and taking polls and opinions. I don't think it is used by our whole department. Google Forms addresses the problem of taking in everyone's opinions. Some examples of polls I run have to do with routes to take within our research. Since this is an active research project I can't give exact details but the surveys mostly ask about which approaches we should take in recruiting participants.
  • Easy to use
  • Free
  • Can edit easily
  • Could be easier to share
  • Aesthetically it could look cleaner
  • Google Forms has made my job easier. Being able to quickly make a survey for small events and opinions is really helpful when trying to get things done in a quick and orderly manner.
  • I like how easy it is to use. You don't have to have an extensive tracking and coding background to use the program.
I like Qualtrics better because of the easier tracking. I think that Google Forms can be confusing when you have over 100 questions all with specific tracking. Qualtrics makes this a lot easier. Since our university has a contract with Qualtrics its also the preferred method that more people at UMICH use.
It's well suited for small casual things but I wouldn't use it for super professional meetings. I like to use them as casual follow ups for our small lab meeting. However when working with community partners I found they are more familiar with Qualtrics and tend to lean more towards them and other survey outlets when working with other communities outside of UMICH.
