Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Data Dashboard entry inside the Voting module of Smart Forms, with setup, preview, and save actions in one flow.	Microsoft Forms provides real-time analytics, question-level details, individual response review, and Excel export for deeper analysis.	Google Forms provides response summaries, question-by-question and individual response views, plus export to Google Sheets or CSV.	Notion Forms stores responses in a connected database, where results can be filtered, sorted, and visualized with chart views.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus more on publishing, tracking, and e-sign workflows than on a voting results dashboard.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The dashboard entry is part of the voting setup flow, so display settings can be completed while building the vote. Advantage: Setup, preview, and save actions are grouped in one path for faster display management.	Compared with WPS: The official workflow emphasizes response analytics and Excel export rather than a dedicated dashboard setup step inside vote creation.	Compared with WPS: The official workflow emphasizes response viewing, summaries, and export rather than a separate dashboard configuration flow.	Compared with WPS: Responses are flexible for database analysis, but form creation and customization are limited on mobile, and dashboard-style display depends on database views.	Compared with WPS: The official workflow is centered on web form management and status tracking instead of a voting-focused display panel.
