Exporting results or feeding them live to an Excel document works well. > > **Cons**: Forms conditional logic is a little different than what many form builders have. In general, there is little control over the layout of the form, and question types are limited. > > We use Forms occasionally, mostly for internal questionnaires but also for application forms. Aesthetically, it's a slight step up from Google Forms. ----- ### "Microsoft form easy to showcase data" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 January 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it can download the data into an Excel sheet to showcase all the numbers. Also, the varieties have a pie chart to show the results visually. From an admin and participant perspective it is a very well-rounded software that doesn't differ too much. The options of question types are not confusing and doesn't clear on to help you what goal you're trying to achieve. I appreciate the existing template that is being offered currently. It's a good range for people to begin with and it showcases that i > > **Cons**: From an admin side: I feel that it would be useful in a technical aspect, to put ideal background wallpaper format size for users to be aware that if it isn't this particular size, the image will be stretched. Because its usually come as a surprise for when users upload their own images. OR to integrat Microsoft designer into Forms. > > Ther interface is straightforward to use and adapt to. It's not something that needs to be learned and or trained on. ----- ### "A simple product" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 February 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Forms is quick and simple for users to use > > **Cons**: It's generally only useful for short surveys, it is also not backed up with normal 365 backup systems. > > It's very good for simple tasks but not for anything business critical ----- ### "Forms connected to your Office365" — 4.0/5 > **David** | *2 January 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - the tie in to the MS365 / MS Office Environment makes it frictionless, also for teams working in Office365 > > **Cons**: - some things are a bit less flexible than other solutions, but no deal breakers here - style wise it looks a bit old, could be more modern > > Setting up and using forms is easy. Analysis right there in Excel is simple, great ways to collaborate with others in your Office365 organization ----- ### "Microsoft Forms Review" — 4.0/5 > **Matt** | *9 May 2025* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very easy to create new forms and to specify the types of questions to be asked. The data presentation is also very powerful. > > **Cons**: The forms features are somewhat simple, so it's a bit difficult to create more advanced custom forms with multiple links and references. Even the "branching" function is a little clunky, but it is still useable. > > Experience overall has been positive, and more than adequately gets the job done, even though there are some areas for possible improvement. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/402350/microsoft-forms?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/402350/microsoft-forms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
