Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Selection lets you configure voting and selection content inside the Smart Form editing flow and save it as part of form creation. | Microsoft Forms can create meeting polls in Teams and supports Multiple Choice, Rating, and Ranking Poll types. | Google Forms offers multiple question types and rating-related formats, but its official question-type list does not show a native ranking question. | Notion Forms lets users create and share forms connected to databases for collection and follow-up workflows. | Adobe Acrobat Sign web forms focus on fillable and signable forms for agreements and signature workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Distinct: Selection is placed directly in the Smart Form editing flow, so voting setup stays close to form creation and review. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on meeting polling and live session interaction than on a form-editor voting setup flow. | Compared with WPS: Google provides broad question types, but ranking-style voting usually needs a workaround such as grid-based design. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for database-connected collection and workflow organization, while voting is often handled through database structures or related workflows. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on signing and public web forms than on voting and selection scenarios. |
| Official Source | — | Poll attendees during a Teams meeting | Choose a type of question for your form | Forms | Create a web form |
Overall Conclusion: If you want to configure voting content directly while editing a form, WPS keeps the workflow close to form creation. The other products also provide form or polling features, but they focus more on meeting interaction, general surveys, database workflows, or signing processes.
