"Simple and Useful, but Limited for Advanced Needs"
What do you like best about Microsoft Forms?

Recently, I have liked the improvements in collaboration and sharing. It is easier to work on a form with others and manage who can access it.I also like the response analysis. The built-in charts are clearer, and exporting to Excel still works smoothly, which helps when we need to do deeper tracking or reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Forms?

Microsoft Forms can improve mainly in advanced logic and validation, so complex forms are easier to build. Reporting can be stronger with more built-in analytics, and design customization could be expanded to better match company branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excel Export and Anonymous Feedback Make It Stand Out"
What do you like best about Microsoft Forms?

I appreciate the option to receive responses in Excel format, as well as the feature that allows for anonymous feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Forms?

If a user has filled out a form but has not submitted it, they should receive a reminder email notifying them that the form remains unsubmitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional tool for cross collaboration"
What do you like best about Microsoft Forms?

The recent AI assist is genuinely useful. It can draft question sets from a short prompt and suggest answer options, which speeds up form creation. Live polling inside Teams meetings and the PowerPoint add-in have also improved engagement. You can drop a poll mid-presentation and see results in real time without leaving the slide.

Sections with progress bars and richer branching logic make longer forms feel smoother, and the updated question types help with data quality. I like the improved ranking, Likert, and file upload controls with size and type limits. Co-authoring has become more reliable, so multiple people can edit the same form without stomping changes.

The Excel connection is better too. Responses land in a connected workbook in OneDrive or SharePoint, staying in sync for analysis, and there are cleaner Power Automate templates to route approvals, send alerts, or write to Dataverse. The newer design options look less dated, image support is easier, and multi-language forms reduce the need to clone surveys for different audiences. Overall, creation is faster, delivery in Teams is seamless, and the handoff to analytics and workflows is stronger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Forms?

Validation and logic depth. More granular field validation, calculated fields, and conditional visibility across multiple sections would reduce the need for Power Apps when forms get complex.

Branding and UX control. Finer control over themes, fonts, spacing, and layout grids would help match corporate design. A true multi-column designer with responsive previews would make long forms easier to scan.

Access and permissions. Per-question permissions and role-based view or edit rules would support sensitive intake flows. Cleaner external sharing with whitelists and domain restrictions would reduce confusion.

File uploads. Larger limits, virus scanning status, and automatic file renaming with metadata would make uploads safer and easier to manage.

Data quality and de-duplication. Native respondent ID, duplicate detection, and throttling to prevent spam would improve reliability for public surveys.

Analytics and exports. Cross-question analysis, filterable dashboards, scheduled exports to Excel or Power BI, and stable response schemas would help downstream reporting.

Lifecycle and governance. Versioning with change logs, draft vs published states, and staging environments would support enterprise review. Audit trails for edits and clearer retention controls would simplify compliance.

Integrations. First-class connectors for SharePoint lists, Dataverse, and ServiceNow with field mapping, plus webhooks for real-time events, would cut out intermediary flows.

Mobile experience. Better offline capture with queued sync and stronger keyboard navigation would help field teams and accessibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined assessments and feedback made simple"
What do you like best about Microsoft Forms?

I appreciate how easy it is to design quizzes, polls, and feedback forms using a clean, user-friendly interface. The real-time response tracking and Excel integration make it efficient for analyzing performance and participation—especially in educational settings. I often use it to create quick assessments, peer evaluations, and exit tickets during lab or STEM sessions, and it helps boost student engagement without needing complex setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Forms?

While the basic functionality is excellent, advanced conditional logic is a bit limited compared to other form platforms. I’d love more customization options—especially around visual themes, timed assessments, and branching logic for multi-section quizzes. Integration with Canva or game-based platforms would also open up even more creative possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best form creation tool."
What do you like best about Microsoft Forms?

Microsoft Forms is one of the simplest and most effective tools for creating forms, whether for contact collection or surveys. It offers a visual, drag-and-drop form builder with a variety of question types. It also integrates seamlessly with Microsoft OneDrive and other third-party apps, making it easy to import images. The forms can be shared directly via links or embedded into web pages for quick access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Forms?

Microsoft Forms doesn’t allow users to export or import forms as standalone files, or transfer them between accounts. This can be frustrating when trying to preserve forms over time, especially without resorting to manual sharing or duplication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
