Avaliações do Google Forms

Vantagens

The feature set is good enough that Google Forms can be used for a variety of useful purposes: surveys, feedback, tests and quizzes, and much more. The platform is also supported by a wealth of plug-ins. Note, not all plug-ins are created equal. Read the ratings carefully. As with all plug-ins, you end up having to give some access of your form and account information to the developer. For some purposes it may not be appropriate to share with a third-party. Google forms supports the most common types of questions: multiple choice, true-false, yes-no, fill in the blank, text boxes, and also the ability to add attachments. It also has a simple analytics function built-in for analysis of your results.

Desvantagens

Google really does not offer a great deal of support for this particular product other than their webpage “how-to” guide although additional support can be found from third parties on YouTube and other places. Web customization of the form is also a bit lacking. You can choose from a handful of the games and attempt to match a color scheme to your web environment, but that’s about it. There is no ability to control fonts, display size, orientation, etc.

Vantagens

Google forms is an online forms creation and application software that has among its best qualities the possibility of carrying out mobile and branching surveys the questions contained in each questionnaire. Google forms is free, which distinguishes itself from most of its competitors because it has a collection of templates and formats for the customization of the surveys to be applied, this software works under
two indispensable requirements, the first is a computer with internet access as computer or Smartphone, and the second is to have a Google account. Besides, the interface in simple and friendly, being able to be used by novice users and experts without no problem and all the changes made in each form are saved
automatically in the cloud, so this increases your efficiency.

Desvantagens

Google forms is an excellent application and the only thing I can catalog as disadvantage is that just to use it is necessary to have a Google account, it is not something from another world but when in an organization corporate accounts are used that do not belong to this company, it is difficult for respondents to use and answer the questionnaires, especially if you do not have another personal Google account. This is something that should be improved to optimize and simplify your so in environments
corporates, since the advantages they offer are incredible but this defect in the execution causes a lot of discomfort and dissatisfaction

Vantagens

If you want to gather information regarding something, may be contacts, may be attendance for an event or anything you simply have to do a survey. You have to use a form to gather information you want. Google form is a survey administration app powered by Google. No matter what information you need collect, you can do it much easily using google forms. You just have to create your own form and send it to the audience you are interested in. In other words, it is a free online tool which allows you to collect information defiantly.
Using this you can create surveys just in few minutes. They will be attractive and professional.
To start working with Google Forms all we need to have a google account and good internet connection with a device. We can access the forms using smart phone or tablet also.
The most important thing I have seen is, there are various designs so that we can choose the design and colors according to our preference and according to our business need.
Interface is very user-friendly. Anyone can understand and start working with this easily.
We can just drag and drop form elements and organize them accordingly. Also we can preview our survey before sending it to our audience.
After sending, it will store the feedback we get and then we can analyze the result. It is also very important.

Desvantagens

It is a must to have internet connection to make or answer a google form.
Customization is limited.
There may be some security concerns since it is online.

Vantagens

Since our organization uses Google G Suite, Google Forms is a no-brainer for internal communications use. As a small higher educational institution (a theological seminary), we have multiple instances in which we use Google Forms: for example, for organizing community events; getting feedback from faculty, students, and staff; submitting daily announcements and so on. The results are easily shared with all the stakeholders who need to see them, and just about anyone in the organization can create a Google Form in five minutes.

Desvantagens

Perhaps the biggest downside is the inability to customize the look and feel of the form. While you can embed the form in a webpage, most of our staff members don't know how to do that (nor do they have the access to do so, even if they did!). This means that in the vast majority of cases, the forms don't look branded to our organization. That's why I specified that it's great for quick and easy internal communications uses. We would not use this for external communications, nor would we use it for high-level institutional communications, because those need to look more professional. For when we do use it, however, it works great.

Vantagens

Google Forms is a light form building software that's just right if you're getting started and don't have anything too serious to do. We are able to use it effectively as part of our organization's G Suite, but honestly find Typeform to be the more comprehensive solution for surveys and user-friendly data collection. To Google's credit, they have improved Forms since it first launched with more robust analytics options and ways to view the data you've collected. And it is a huge plus that it integrates so smoothly into our G Suite. You can easily see the data on the back end automatically saved to your Google Drive. Depending on what you're looking to do, this is a great place to start. But if you need to pursue more complex form building, don't plan to stay here forever.

Desvantagens

There are only a handful of starting templates and customizations to make your form look different from any other Google Form out there. That has been a frustration for us, though it can be overcome by using custom designed images as headers and customizing background colors, etc. If your Form is going wrong, it may be that you didn't design it well, so you should always test the survey before sending it out. Make sure your required questions, answer options, and question types are in order and not conflicting otherwise you'll only create frustrations and headaches for your survey takers. I would say Google Forms doesn't have a ton of cons but that doesn't mean every form you build will be perfect right off the bat. But before you blame the software, check on how you're using it.

Vantagens

Surveys are easy to make: Google saves you time by making the survey easy to make. From dragging and dropping questions to assisting with creating question and answer formats, it is a simple software to use.

Lots of features: Google offers lots of features for creating a beautiful and useful survey. You can change the layout and design, which makes the survey look professional. There are lots of options for types of questions to ask (multiple choice bubbles, multiple choice check boxes (plus an "other" short answer field), long answer fields, short answer fields, etc.).

Survey data is pushed out into a Google Sheets spreadsheet: Like other Google software, the integration into Google Drive is very important to me, and Google Forms is no different. It pushes your data into a Google Sheets spreadsheet with timestamps when you receive answers to questions. I have set this up in the past to combine multiple spreadsheets to combine information from a survey I have created into another spreadsheet. Lots of cool features if you know your way around Google Sheets as well, but this is really only for advanced users.

Notifications: You can set up auto email notifications when you get survey responses. Only do this if you've thought through how many emails you want to receive a day (or have them automatically go into a different folder in your inbox).

Desvantagens

At the time that I used this software the most, there was no way to integrate pictures into the survey itself. BUT, I understand this has changed since then, so this makes this software basically perfect in my books for my uses.

Vantagens

One of Google Forms biggest advantages is how easy it is to set up. Any Google user is literally only a few click away from setting up and sending forms that gather contact information, RSVPs, event registrations and more.

Forms can be customized and expanded to take on a variety of functions. A few examples I've witnessed include small businesses setting up order forms, small grantmakers creating grants application systems, volunteer organizations using Forms to better track volunteer interests/availability/etc. and researchers using Forms to gather information.

Because it is part of Google, there is no need for additional sign up/set up, like with Survey Monkey. And, best of all, it's free to everyone!

Desvantagens

If you're gathering a lot of information, the form can begin to get a bit cumbersome. To combat this, you have the option to create different sections or pages so it doesn't appear as one incredibly long form.

In my opinion, it is also not as visually appealing as other survey and forms programs. You do have options, however, to change the color of the form, add graphics, etc.

These minor critiques aside, there are not many cons about the program. Overall, it is functional, flexible, and no cost.

Vantagens

Easy to setup. If you want to give quizzes, now has a quiz mode that can assign points to each question automatically and provide an answer key (for non-essay questions). Can embed into a webpage or email the link directly and allow people to fill out the form from the body of the email. Multiple ways to customize the theme and get the form looking the way you want. With 3rd party add-ons like Autocrat, you can generate very nice documents and email them automatically upon form submission. Embed photos and video right into the form. Create multiple section forms.

Desvantagens

Question types are limited--would like to see a few more choices and the ability to create drag and drop questions with multiple answers. The graphs and charts in the responses aren't always the easiest to work with. They used to have a feature in the Google Sheet attached to each Form that would automatically generate a webpage with graphs and charts, but no longer. We miss that feature.

Vantagens

Google Forms are easy to create and embed into any website without having to install any third party plugin or write any code. Simply choose your field types and options, copy the embed code, and paste it into any HTML web page or content management system (CMS) like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, SquareSpace, PageCloud, Blogger or any hosting site's builder. All entries are automatically recorded in a Google Sheets document for easy access and you can easily add columns to track responses/statuses or enter notes on each entry. Collaboration capabilities in Google Sheets (G Suites) also make it easy for teams to work with form data simultaneously.

Desvantagens

The lack of multiple column formats is the only con I can think of. It would be nice to layout form fields in multiple columns on pages designed to be viewed in a landscape orientation, or to avoid a lengthy scroll to fill out a longer form when necessary. Perhaps formats that are more adaptable to various screen sizes would be better, especially if you do not prefer to add pagination to your forms.

Vantagens

Here are the features that I like most:

1) Completely free. No ads, no paid extra features.
2) Automatic survey expiration time and date. You can also manually stop receiving new submissions.
3) You can require authorization or anyone with the survey link can fill out.
4) You can export survey results to Google Sheet with one click. You can also download the results in CSV file, that can be opened using MS Excel.
5) Ideal solution for paper waste reduction.
6) There is online support and discussion forums. Lots of places where you can seek for extra help: stackexchange or Google Groups.
7) All created forms are reusable. If you want to use the same form, than there is no need to create one. Either (i) copy/paste form in your Google Drive or (ii) You can delete all submissions with one click and then use the form again.
8) Your created forms can be viewed on mobile, tablets, desktops. Google will optimize forms depending your using device.
9) I've seen a lot of professional and reputable companies using Google Forms.

Desvantagens

Google forms is already easy to use. But if you want to make more complex forms with different options, then it may require some research and practice. Help topics should provide enough information.

Vantagens

I own a small business and have 3 kids. Carpools and school events keep me busy enough. Then add on all the requirements of running a business. Feedback is essential to be a good dad and business owner. Google Forms is a parent and business owner's best friend.

This week alone I have soccer, basketball, volleyball, choir and carpool responsibilities with the kids. With Google Forms I was able to solicit feedback from soccer parents as we collect money for a team gift. I used Forms to figure out how many rooms we would need for my son's away basketball tournament. I used Forms to collect money for robes for my daughter's choir. It's super easy to get feedback with forms. It's great for surveys but it's even better for organizing and collecting feedback on essential logistical items.

I get most of my feedback from my business using forms as well. Every invoice I hand out or email I send has a link to a survey about my product. I have learned more about my business from the feedback received than any other vehicle. I get real-time feedback that helps me target my audience better and make tweeks to services. Seriously, it's that easy. Forms is my most valuable helper every day.

Desvantagens

Nothing at all. Forms is all encompassing. I use it for everything!

Vantagens

+ I like that the software is completely free and has many of the features other platforms have
+ The ability to change the format/look of the forms, which is useful when doing a poll versus a survey versus an event registration
+ I appreciate the integration with Google Sheets to auto populate responses
+ In the new format, I like the ability to view individual responses as a page
+ Real-time collaboration

Desvantagens

- I'm still learning the new google forms which has been a change after using the old format for so long, but the look is definitely better
- I'd like to see more logic or if, then options for surveys. I often want to add questions such as "If yes, then" but don't want the respondent to see those if they aren't applicable
- A variety of templates to use based on the type of feedback is being collected, it's good enough given the platform is free. But more variety would be great.

Vantagens

I am running a website of my Educational Institute where I have implemented Google Forms for creating weekly quizzes and site surveys for students and visitors. I must say that the interface of creating forms is so easy with almost every feature you require, either it's multiple type question or single selection, almost every selection is available. No codes, no thinking too much, just prepare the forms and integrate with your project.

The best parts of Google forms are it's flexibility, easy customisation and very user friendly interface. In customisation you can easily convert your collected data into graph sheets for analysing purpose and make use of it to increase productivity. I have even built my custom form tool before but after using Google forms has simply decrease the development time with more than expected outcome.

Obviously! It's the best tool so far for Online form creation.

Desvantagens

As of now what requirements I have for my running projects are all getting fulfilled by this tool and I am not facing any kind of issue in it but I must say that developers should provide some options to customise forms look and feel as most of the forms are so simple. Otherwise there is always a plus point if you are a developer and know web designing to customise the forms using your own innovation. Rest every is handled by Google Forms.

Vantagens

Within the functions that I fulfill as a Community Manager, I must recognize the extraordinary value of Google Forms, since I can permanently conduct surveys on the quality of the content I publish, taking as a starting point the comments, the photographs, the elements of research and even , the colors that I use when editing my advertisements.

These surveys or forms that I make are stored in the cloud immediately, giving me a lot of confidence and security since my information is not going to be deleted, besides, it allows me to make these forms in any place that I want since I can handle everything from my smart phone .

Desvantagens

The company Google has simplified and facilitated a lot of my functions in my work, doing what before was quite complex much easier, according to this idea, I have no negative aspects to highlight Google Forms, since I use it regularly and I am quite satisfied with the contributions that integrate my profession.

Vantagens

Google Forms is very easy to use! I created several Google Forms and for school when I was doing an extensive research for my college thesis, and I was able to collect all the answers with Google Forms, all I needed was a link to share my research form and I was able to keep track of all the answers. It logs all the submittions on a Google sheet, everything is automated.

Creating a Goofle Form is fairly easy, it gives you multiple options depending on the type of your question (you can select multiple answers, check boxes or write short or long answers). You can even attach photos that shows up as a link on your spreadsheet among the other responses (you can even print the attachments). It really gives you all the questions types you would need for a school paper or work project.

Depending on you settings, you can receive notifications every time someone submits a form. I have been using that function for work, so I am not missing out on any responses.

You can even choose from some designs or create your own, you can customize your form with uploading cover images or logos, which makes the form more professional than the default look. You can also organize you questions into sections and customize the thank you page.

It gives you the option to show a progress bar so whoever is answering the questions know how long it will approximately take them to fill out.

Desvantagens

Design and customization are limited, it would be nice to have more creative, design elements to work with.

Vantagens

I use Google Forms as a survey tool for my customer's to review my business & services. My favorite function of Google Forms is that the responses automatically get exported to the designated Google Sheets workbook of my choice. I also like that Google will email me when a new response has been submitted through my form! The forms are fully customization and you can personalize the image/color theme on each form. I use my business color theme and logo to customize my forms but there are many pre-loaded images & themes to choose from as well.

Desvantagens

My only complaint about Google Forms is that it has recently stopped emailing me every time someone submits a response. I still receive intermittent email alerts just not all the time like it use to. I'll be contacting their help desk soon to figure out what I need to do to fix this.

Vantagens

*This tool allows us to easily collect data online, just like we would with paper forms. After we create the form, we can send a link in email for people to fill it out and the data dumps into a spreadsheet.
*Perfect for surveys.
*We get faster responses because people respond to email more than taking the time to fill out a paper form.
*We don't have to do data entry of paper form responses because it gets dumped into a spreadsheet.
*The form builder is super easy to have different types of questions (multiple choice, open ended, ratings, etc)
*We can select a template to make it fancy, or customize it to our own branding needs.
*There are settings that we can use to make the tool more functional, however, the settings have a default so when we were first getting started we were overwhelmed with all these extra settings features. Easy to learn.
*The forms even allows you to have if/then statements, so if someone answers a questions a certain way - depending on how they answer, they could be asked a different set of questions. Super handy!

Desvantagens

*I wouldn't trust google forms for legal form/signatures or confidential info. It doesn't turn responses into a unchangable pdf.
*It doesn't have built in credit card processing.
*Be careful that you turn of the "share others responses" feature if you don't want people to see what others said. I made an error leaving this feature on and people could read what others read. (This is my user error.)

Vantagens

Google Forms is a tremendous software application that is highly adaptable. If you need to get some information from your team, use Google Forms. If you need to do a survey, use Google Forms. If you need people to sign-up or RSVP for an event, use Google Forms. It's great and has so many functions for a simple program that costs nothing.

One of my favorite features is that you can use Google Forms to embed your form onto your website. It's just great.

Desvantagens

My only problem with Google Forms is the way you can view your responses. You can either view all the data as a whole or see individual responses. When you see it as a whole, it's either in a pie chart or graph that can sometimes be hard to read... especially on a mobile device. I wish I could customize this part of it a bit more.

Vantagens

Google forms is amongst the easiest and most simple tools to use, it is very intuitive and requires no masters degree to maximize its benefits. l I love how it is mobile compatible both from the perspective of the primary user directly making use of Google forms ,and the respondent who is answering questions on forms. This mobile approach is likely part of the reason why Google form is widely embraced by all.
In my organization , Google forms is used to get ideas and feedback randomly from employees , and to randomly measure the experiences of our clients and partners ; providing us with little but important information which helps my organization keep improving.

Desvantagens

One problem which most Google forms users face is the possibility for respondents to quizzes ,surveys etc via Google forms to answer a quiz,survey multiple times ; without the Google forms administrator being aware and this in no small part,affects the final statistics of respondent data.

Vantagens

This program is waaay easier to use than Excel. It is very simple and intuitive and makes me actually like making spreadsheets. I have taken Master-level courses on how to use Excel and just get lost in its formulas and clunky, overbearing process that seems to be anything but user-friendly. This is not the case for Google Sheets with is incredibly easy to use and streamlined. I love that I can colllaborate with employees and clients in docs in realtime (just like all Google suite programs). I use this every day and love it.

Desvantagens

some advanced features are (or course) harder to use but these are very few things like making a spreadsheet that auto-sorts all data all the time. It requires a script (formula basically) but a quick google search usually gives me the correct formula in seconds.

Vantagens

Its easy to use and understand even for first-timer.
It have many options for answers such as "multiple answer", "short answer", "date" and etc, so you can make sure the responses you received can be used for the research purposes.
I like the way they present the data received, it gives a clear picture to the user on the research result.
In short, best form ever!

Desvantagens

personally, I encountered a few areas that I wished Google can enhance the form.
1) I hope that there will be function such as "you can skip this question if you selected NO for the previous question"or the "jumping" function. For example: Q1. select "A" and jump to Q5.
I believed that this can provide more flexibility on the questions asked.

2) There is "date" in part of the types for the answer. Its good but It can be better if Google allows user to select the "year" in a easier way. For instance, "Date of Birth" is one of the questions and I selected "Date" as the type of answer. The survey target was born in year 1960, so they have to keep clicking "<>" to look for their year of born.
To solve this issue, I have selected "short answer" and stated a format such as DD/MM/YY but by doing so, I am worried that my survey target will give a weird answer.

Vantagens

We were able to take our customer information that only existed hand-written on physical paper to a completely digital system using Google Forms. Not only does this allow us to use the information more readily, but it has also cut down on mistakes caused by misreading handwriting. It saves so much time with data entry, freeing us up to focus on the things that really matter.

Because it integrates with so many other platforms we use, it acts as a basecamp for all our information to be stored in an easily readable format that can be shared with exactly the people who need to see it.

The reporting capabilities are great for being a free service. We are able to see trends in our market and make decisions accordingly.

It was easy to learn to use, especially if you're familiar with other Google services.

Desvantagens

I do wish there were more extensive reporting capabilities, specifically being able to break down respondents by their answers.

The interface is a bit different than Sheets and Docs so it can be confusing to find all the features at first.

Vantagens

Forms is a simple but powerful way of collecting information. Whether you are surveying a group of people, giving a quiz or collecting contact information, Google Forms does it all. It is fluid and works on any device in any browser. You can create forms quickly and deploy just as fast. You can customize your themes and have your data sent to a spreadsheet for further analysis. Forms is a simple but powerful tool.

Desvantagens

Google Forms is simple, which means that you don’t get a rich text editor but instead simple text. This can be a drawback for some. It also lacks third party financial support in the event that you would want to collect fees or perform some sort of monetary exchange.

Vantagens

The best thing about Google Forms is the ease of use. I can create new forms within minutes without much complication. What is even better that my clients find it very convenient to fill out the forms (most of them do it from their phones) which means that I secure contracts immediately.
Moving from PDF contracts to Google Forms made my business work flow so much easier. It definitely reduced the time to receive a signed contract from 4-5 days to simply a day!

Desvantagens

The only thing that I did not like about this software is that you need a gmail account in order to use google forms. My business email address is not a gmail account which meant I had to create and manage a separate gmail account to send out contracts.

Vantagens

I have used this to take surveys, recruit volunteers to manage an event, find out when a large crowd is available for a meeting, and even taking notes for interviews when I'm writing profiles for the alumni of our program. If you're creative, the limitless functionality of Google Forms will carry your creativity to the next level. It helps to know excel as well. Being data oriented is a huge plus as you'll be able to organize the data you need, before even collecting it. Far superior to the other survey tools which aren't as customizable.

Desvantagens

I can't think of a single thing to dislike about google forms. You can do anything you want with it when it comes to data. and it's connected to the Gods of all data mining -- excel/spreadsheets.
