Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In the Smart Forms editor, you can open Cross Analysis from the Check-in module, then configure options, preview the result, and confirm the setup. | Microsoft Forms supports branching for questions or sections so respondents can be sent to later questions, sections, or the end of the form based on answers. | Google Forms supports answer-based routing to different sections and can also submit the form based on an answer. | Notion Forms connects forms to databases and supports conditional logic; conditional logic is available on Business and Enterprise plans. | Adobe Acrobat web forms support creating and publishing online forms for sharing by link or embedding on a website. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The Cross Analysis entry is part of the check-in creation flow, and setup, preview, and confirmation are handled in one editing path. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on general branching logic and notes that branching goes only to later questions or sections. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on section-based routing for survey flows. | Compared with WPS: conditional logic depends on higher-tier plans, and form creation and customization are handled on desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow is centered on publishing public web forms and e-sign scenarios rather than a check-in configuration flow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Cross Analysis is a practical fit for users who already configure check-in workflows inside Smart Forms and want a focused setup path in the editor. If your needs are closer to general survey branching, database-backed forms, or public web form publishing, the other platforms provide different strengths for those scenarios.
