Google Forms Review
Overall Satisfaction with Google Forms
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.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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 saves us time, and time saves us money.
- We can have employees work when we are not around and still share information.
- It helps our workflow.
- It's easy to teach to new employees.
