Overall Satisfaction with Google Forms

We use Google Forms for event registration and to collect data. We use Google Forms when we need to collect information, but don't need robust features.

Pros

  • Easy to create a form. Can get your form live in a few seconds.
  • Simple way to collect information.
  • Easy for users to provide information.

Cons

  • No logic questions
  • Users cannot go back and change/resubmit information (they have to complete a new Google Form).
  • No additional features like email communication, event check-in, etc.
  • Able to effectively collect simple data for free.
  • Investment of time for the team to learn/use Google Forms in minimal.
  • Users appreciate the simplicity of the tool.
Google Forms is very simple and lacks robust features like other form makers like Survey Monkey, Airtable, Cvent, and Jotform. Google Forms is perfect if you just need a simple webform or you need to do data collection or event registration and lack a budget for software.
Google Forms excels at offering a simple way to collect data; however, it lacks robust features like logic questions, email communications (beyond an email confirmation), or dynamic functionality like the ability for respondents to edit responses. For some use cases, the simplicity of Google Forms is ideal.

Google Forms is a great option if you don't have a budget for software and you need to collect information and collect it quickly. It's also great for stakeholders who are not tech savvy as it's simple and intuitive. If you need to analyze the data or need advanced features like question logic, email communication based on data collected, then this is not the tool for you.
