Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Related Data entry inside the Smart Form editor so you can configure, preview, and save settings in the same editing flow.	Microsoft Forms can collect responses and, in some scenarios, sync response data to an Excel workbook.	Google Forms can save responses to a linked Google Sheet for later review and organization.	Notion Forms connect questions and responses directly to database properties.	Adobe Acrobat Web Forms can create online forms for collecting data and signatures and publish them on the web.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: The Related Data entry stays inside the form editing flow, which helps you complete setup, preview, and save in one place.	Compared with WPS: The official page focuses on response collection and Excel sync, not on a related-data setup entry inside the form editor.	Compared with WPS: The official page focuses on saving responses to Google Sheets, so the data relationship is centered on form-to-sheet linking.	Compared with WPS: Database connection is clear, but form creation and customization are mainly handled in desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: The workflow is more focused on publishing and collecting web forms, often around online form distribution.
