Brilliant Way To Capture Data For Free

It helps me to collect data really easily and quickly, and saves faffing around with paper forms and scanning documents.

PROS

I love that it's free to use (up to 200 replies, but then I just create a duplicate one to gather more). I can customise it too to make it look really professional.

CONS

The fact that there's a limit to the amount of responses, and limitations to the customisation of the fields.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Forms

Better options available with Microsoft Forms

Level up your surveys with Microsoft Forms

Overall, Microsoft Forms is one of the best form builders out there. It helps you to create surveys in just a single click. Not to mention, it has an intuitive interface with no complicated settings.

PROS

What I really like about Microsoft Forms is its easy interface. It's incredibly beginner-friendly that even children couldn't go wrong. Not to mention that it has themes, by which I can change the background in just a click. I also love the preview option to see what it will look like.

CONS

Although the Microsoft Forms is free, I could not send or share a form without an active business or education subscription.

Reasons for switching to Microsoft Forms

Microsoft Form is much easier to use than Jotform.

Only use if you need a very basic form...

PROS

Creating forms was relatively quick and easy, and there aren't too many confusing buttons to choose from.

CONS

When my team found out that we were potentially switching from Qualtrics to Forms, we tried making the surveys on Forms and found that there weren't too many features that wouldn't add more work to our end. It would be very helpful if there was an email trigger function so that other emails could be sent out upon completion of a survey - we tried coding that ourselves on Power Automate but for some reason we couldn't pull the listed email and required information

Basic survey/forms tool, with good integration

PROS

It's easy to create a form and store the results. The results can also easily be fed into an automatic flow using Microsoft Power Automate.

CONS

Very limited ability to customize the look and feel of the form, and to create more advanced flows.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Forms

Cheap (already included in our Microsoft 365 licenses) and well-integrated with other Microsoft products we use.
