Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Matrix Scale entry inside the Smart Forms editor for opening the feature, adjusting settings, previewing, and confirming the result.	Microsoft Forms can use a Likert question to create a layout similar to a matrix rating question.	Google Forms provides Linear scale, Rating, Multiple choice grid, and Checkbox grid question types for rating and matrix-style responses.	Notion Forms is built on database properties and supports multiple question types and form settings, but the official help does not describe a native matrix grid rating question.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF form fields, calculations, and submission setup for fillable PDF forms rather than a native online matrix survey builder.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The setup path stays inside the form editing workflow, so opening, configuring, previewing, and confirming Matrix Scale can be done in one place.	Compared with WPS: Similar layouts are achieved through Likert questions, with public guidance focused on general survey question types.	Compared with WPS: It offers several rating and grid question types, but matrix-style setup depends on general-purpose question formats.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on database-backed forms and property mapping than on a dedicated matrix scale question type.	Compared with WPS: It is more suitable for fillable PDF form fields and calculations than for online matrix scale form editing.

Overall Conclusion

If your main goal is to configure, preview, and confirm a matrix scale directly in a Windows form-building workflow, WPS keeps the path more focused. Other products can cover related rating or form scenarios, but they rely more on general survey types, database-backed forms, or PDF form workflows.
