Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Related Data is configured inside the Smart Form editing flow, where you can open the panel, adjust settings, preview the result, and save changes for the current form.	Microsoft Forms can collect responses, and official guidance shows that responses can be written into Excel through Power Automate or linked Excel workflows.	Google Forms can store responses in a linked Google Sheet for later review and organization.	Notion Forms are connected to databases, and each question maps to a database property so responses stay linked to structured data.	Adobe web forms focus on publishing online forms, collecting responses, and tracking form status in web-based workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the related-data entry is part of the form editing flow, so setup and preview stay in one workspace. Distinct: it fits repeated adjustments to a single form before release.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on syncing form results into Excel or automation flows after collection.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on storing responses in Sheets than on managing related-data settings inside the form editor.	Compared with WPS: Notion relies on database structure as the main container for form data and workflow logic.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on published web forms and signature-oriented tracking workflows.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Related Data is a practical fit when you want to maintain related-data settings directly during Smart Form editing on Windows. If your main goal is response syncing to spreadsheets, database-centered workflows, or published web-form tracking, Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each provide a different official path.
