Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Matrix Question entry in the check-in module of Smart Form, with parameter setup, preview, and save actions in the editing flow.	Microsoft Forms provides a Likert question type with scale options as columns and statements as rows.	Google Forms provides multiple choice grid and checkbox grid question types with row, column, and response rules.	Notion Forms can be created from databases and support multiple question types, required fields, and conditional logic, but the official help page does not describe a native matrix layout as a dedicated question type.	Adobe Acrobat web forms can turn documents or PDFs into online forms for collection and publishing, but the official pages do not describe a native survey-style matrix question layout.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: The entry is directly placed in the check-in question setup flow, which is convenient for configuring, previewing, and saving in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: Offers a scale-based row-and-column question type, but the official guidance is centered more on general survey use.	Compared with WPS: Grid question rules are more detailed, with separate multiple choice grid and checkbox grid types.	Compared with WPS: Focuses more on database-connected workflows, and the official help content does not present matrix layout as a separate built-in form type.	Compared with WPS: Focuses more on document-based online forms and signature workflows than on a dedicated matrix question layout.
