Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a matrix question entry in the Exam module of smart forms, with an edit, preview, and save flow in one setup path.	Microsoft Forms officially supports Likert and several quiz question types, but its official page does not describe a dedicated matrix question type.	Google Forms officially supports Multiple choice grid and Checkbox grid question types with rows and columns.	Notion Forms officially supports forms connected to database properties and multiple question types, but its help page does not describe a dedicated matrix question type.	Adobe Acrobat web forms officially focus on creating, publishing, and tracking online forms, without describing a dedicated matrix question type on the cited page.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places matrix question setup directly inside the exam creation flow, which is convenient when you want to configure, preview, and confirm the question in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: the official description focuses more on general quiz question types, and matrix-question support is not clearly described.	Compared with WPS: grid question types are clearly documented, but the official guidance focuses on form question rules rather than an exam-specific matrix setup path.	Compared with WPS: the official guidance focuses more on database-backed forms, question properties, and conditional logic than on a matrix-question type.	Compared with WPS: the official guidance focuses more on document-based web forms, publishing, and signing workflows than on exam matrix questions.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Matrix Question is more closely aligned with an exam-oriented question setup flow on Windows. Google Forms documents grid-style question types more directly, while Microsoft, Notion, and Adobe focus their official pages on broader quiz or online form capabilities.
