Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Configure data statistics inside the Smart Forms Attendance workflow, including opening the setup panel, adjusting parameters, previewing results, and saving the configuration. | Microsoft Forms provides response overview, per-question details, individual results, and Excel export for deeper analysis. | Google Forms provides response summaries, question-level and individual views, plus export to Google Sheets or CSV. | Notion Forms stores responses in a database, where teams can filter, sort, and visualize results with chart views; form creation and customization are handled on desktop and web. | Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on web form management and related data workflows rather than survey-style response summary analytics. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The statistics setup is placed directly in the Attendance creation flow, so teams can define rules before publishing. Distinct: Setup, preview, and confirmation stay in one workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes post-response review and Excel-based analysis instead of preconfiguring attendance statistics in the same workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes response summaries and export, with less focus on workflow-specific statistics setup before publishing. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for database-based follow-up analysis, while form creation and customization are limited to desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on web form management and e-sign workflows, which is a different primary scenario from attendance statistics setup. |

Overall Conclusion
If your priority is to define statistics rules during attendance form setup, WPS keeps that work closer to the publishing workflow. Microsoft, Google, and Notion focus more on reviewing or analyzing responses after collection, while Adobe is oriented more toward web form management.
