Google Forms is the fastest way to get a survey out if your team already uses Google accounts. You create a form at forms.google.com, from a spreadsheet in Google Sheets or from Drive, add questions, images or video, and share it by email, social media or an embed on a website. Responses can be stored in a Google Sheet, and Forms draws charts from answers in real time, so a simple internal pulse survey needs no other software. Collaborators can edit a form and review results together, and conditional sections show questions based on earlier answers. Google states that files are encrypted in transit and at rest and that Forms undergoes independent security and compliance checks. The limits show up in research work: there is no respondent panel, no quotas or weighting and no built-in crosstabs, so analysts end up in Sheets or add-ons. Workspace prices showed only in local currency from our location, so the USD check is pending.

Who it is for
