The templates are easy to use and the data is formatted in an understandable way. It's also super easy to share forms for collaboration through this platform. Cons Sometimes the forms feel limited in their capacity. I really wish they had an option similar to Sign-Up Genius for events. Switched from [Google Forms](https://www.capterra.com/p/176571/Google-Forms/) Microsoft programs are my employers preferred programs.

It is fun creating polls or surveys quick and easy. With direct links to Microsoft accounts, I can track the data very easily. Pros Microsoft Forms is an excellent tool to use if you have the 365 suite. Being able to directly link a form or survey to your account, or reference other accounts, really help when collecting data. The survey designs are simple enough that everyone can understand what is going on. Despite that, the customizations are very tailored to simplistic form design. Containing it within the Microsoft 365 environment helps give a sense of security as well. Cons Some of the functionality can be a little too basic in comparison to other advanced form tools. Microsoft forms makes up for it with its ease of use though. Switched from [SurveyMonkey](https://www.capterra.com/p/253516/SurveyMonkey/) One less vendor to work with. Already a Microsoft environment, so this made it easy to accomplish the same goal. Review Source MO Michael O. Communications Manager Wholesale Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Connected Forms" June 8, 2026 3.0 My experience has been positive for straightforward surveys and internal business use, but I've run into limitations as projects become more sophisticated. It's a solid tool for basic needs, though organizations with more advanced requirements may find themselves looking for alternatives. Pros Microsoft Forms is simple to set up and easy for both creators and respondents to use. It integrates well within the Microsoft ecosystem and works great for basic surveys, quizzes, and feedback collection. Cons The biggest limitation is the lack of support for more complex calculations, logic, and integrations. Compared to some competing form platforms, it can feel restrictive when you're trying to build more advanced workflows or data collection processes.

My students used it to create surveys for their social media use project in psychology class. It was a great tool to use to collect their data Pros My district uses Microsoft products, but students tend to know more about Google than Microsoft Forms is luckily very user friendly, and anyone who has used Google Forms can easily figure out how to use Microsoft Forms. Cons I honestly wish that it would create a QR code. I recently helped a colleague make a form to use for her caring closet, and I had to use a separate app to make the QR code. Switched from [Google Forms](https://www.capterra.com/p/176571/Google-Forms/) This is a personal switch and not a district switch.

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.
