Considered Both Products	Google Maria Sergeeva UX and Content Designer in Marketing at Career Pathway Institute (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Google Forms SurveyMonkey works well for serious surveys, but it would be too difficult and expensive to use it for every small event. QuestionPro Live Polls is also good, but it is primarily used during specific events, such as Zoom webinars, to collect questions from participants. Google … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Forms They are pretty similar, but Google Forms is better from a cost perspective. They are both simple to use and are great options for creating + sending out surveys. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Forms I haven't used that many other form applications before unless they were standalone applications like Microsoft Word. I used this program, and it was ok, but it requires a paid subscription, and someone renews it yearly. This can be too complicated for some users, such as older … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Forms Cognito Forms are really great because of the high degree of customisation that can be done.

Susan Pratt Property Manager in Professional Services at 24k Property Management (Real Estate, 1-10 employees) Chose Google Forms The free feature is the best feature! Incentivized Helpful? Shannon Brennan Center Director at Morningstar (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Google Forms I think that the Google version of forms is easier to use for both those making the forms and those filling them in than it's Microsoft equivalent. Google's products are more widely used and understood by the public, and they function at a higher level. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Forms Jotform is good too and gives theming & CSS priority. However, I don't think the theme is important in forms, we chose Google Forms because we needed simplicity. Incentivized Helpful? Shannon Allen Recruiter in Human Resources at Voyig, LLC (Transportation/Trucking/Railroad, 51-200 employees) Chose Google Forms For strictly forms with data driven insights Google forms is the most efficient and hands down easiest choice to go with. It offers a ton of vast and robust features that helps with integrations and many more. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Forms Google Forms is easy to use and affordable. The biggest benefit, however, is that our organization already uses other Google products heavily. Because of this Google Forms was our top choice.

Caroline Dobson Human Resources Generalist in Human Resources at CloudCheckr (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Google Forms Google Forms is a much more basic tool for collecting feedback. It's better for small events or very basic responses. Survey Monkey is better for getting in-depth insights into data, including insights trends and a better presentation of the data in exportable graphs. But … Incentivized Helpful? Anomita Chandra Business Analyst at University of Texas at Dallas (Information Technology & Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Google Forms I selected Google Forms because of its efficient and quick customer service. I had used other platforms earlier and had trouble connecting with their team for issues. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Forms Google Forms is great because it is free and easy to use. Formative has great features because it is able to give live feedback of responses and it has multiple question types but it is also expensive to subscribe to. Google Forms is very powerful because, in addition to the … Incentivized Helpful? Kim Grewe Instructional Designer at Northern Virginia Community College Online Learning (E-Learning, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Google Forms I have been using Google Forms since it started in 2008.

Shany Liany Saepudin Software Quality Assurance Analyst in Quality Assurance at PT INDIE MARKETINDO CERIA (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Google Forms Personally, I never use other products to conduct surveys other than Google Forms, because I think Google Forms is very comfortable and easy to use. Incentivized Helpful? Carolina Reyes Ingeniero Soporte NOC1 in Information Technology at UFINET (Telecommunications, 10,001+ employees) Chose Google Forms Although both platforms offer similar functionalities, Google Form has a personal advantage and it is the impeccable integration with the different applications of the Google suite, this allows to make use of all of them in a transparent way, which in the work environment … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Forms We use Google Forms now instead of Survey Monkey. The question types are fairly similar and both are easy to use but Google Forms is definitely a "lighter" survey tool than Survey Monkey. It fits our day-to-day needs as we don't do robust surveys requiring large amounts of … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Forms We have also used FormAssembly, which is far more advanced with security, analytics, and functionality, but is also more expensive and takes a greater resource investment to train others to use.

Liz Duffié VP, People & Culture in Human Resources at Parachute Home (Consumer Goods, 51-200 employees) Chose Google Forms I use both SurveyMonkey and Google Forms. Google Forms are nice for quick and simple everyday information collecting. SurveyMonkey is used for a more robust detailed information collecting where I can dive into analytics/results in a more detailed manner. Incentivized Helpful? Andrea Hester Director Of Operations at Clearfire, Inc. (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose Google Forms Google Forms is more basic than Typeform in terms of design style options and flexibility, but it has an easier-to-use interface.

Verified User Chose Google Forms Google Forms definitely isn't as robust as some of the more professional tools out there. However, in my experience, I usually don't need a robust survey tool.

Joshua Welsh Associate Professor at Central Washington University (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Google Forms Google Forms is easier to use than Qualtrics, but has less robust capabilities, especially in terms of sharing, permissions, survey logic, and reporting features. I also find Google easier to use than the Microsoft Forms tool, but again Microsoft might have better options in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Google Forms Simpler to use and mostly related with an alternative to a robust forms and questionnaire option. Many other tools are not only forms. Incentivized Helpful? Brett Schenker Email Deliverability Specialist at Numerous companies (Non-profit Organization Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Google Forms SurveyMonkey is great but it costs money to get its full power while Google Forms can do a lot of the same but for free.
