Capability Summary	Provides a Candidate Information entry in the Smart Forms exam workflow, where you can enter the exam module, adjust related settings, preview the result, and confirm the setup.	Microsoft Forms lets quiz creators control who can respond, record names, limit one response per person, and manage quiz-specific settings.	Google Forms lets you turn a form into a quiz, collect email addresses, and control how grades are released.	Notion Forms connects questions to database properties, creates a Respondent property automatically, and supports anonymous responses.	Adobe Acrobat Sign web forms collect signer or respondent information in a web-based form flow that is oriented toward signing scenarios.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Candidate Information is placed directly in the exam creation workflow, so setup, preview, and confirmation can be completed in one editing flow.	Compared with WPS: focuses more on general quiz response controls and identity settings than on a separate candidate-information step inside an exam workflow.	Compared with WPS: focuses more on quiz grading and email collection, with respondent details usually handled through form fields and settings.	Compared with WPS: is more database-centered for response collection, and form creation and customization are centered on desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: is oriented more toward signature and agreement collection workflows than exam setup.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure candidate details as part of an exam creation flow, WPS keeps the path more focused inside the same workflow. The other products also support response collection, but they emphasize general quiz controls, database-backed forms, or signing workflows.
