Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Matrix Scale is available in the Smart Forms Relay flow, where you can open the editing panel, set related options, preview the result, and confirm the setup.	Microsoft Forms provides a Likert question type that uses statements as rows and scale options as columns for survey feedback.	Google Forms provides a multiple choice grid question type with rows and columns for grouped rating-style responses.	Notion Forms is connected to database properties and supports several question types and conditional logic, but its official help page does not describe a native matrix scale grid question type.	Adobe Acrobat Sign provides web forms for public filling and signing workflows, but its official help content does not describe a native survey matrix scale question type.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry is part of the Smart Forms Relay editing flow, so setup, preview, and confirmation stay in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes a standard Likert question model and question-count rules.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses on a general grid question type for common rating forms.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on database-backed form collection, so matrix-style rating scenarios rely on other question structures.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on signing and business web forms than on survey rating grids.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to add a matrix-style rating question directly inside a relay-based form editing flow, WPS keeps the setup path close to the editor. Microsoft and Google both document official scale or grid question types, while Notion and Adobe focus more on database forms or signing-oriented web forms.
