Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Industry setting entry inside the Poll module of the Smart Form editor, then lets you continue with parameter setup, preview, and confirmation.	Microsoft Forms lets you adjust form or quiz settings such as who can respond, one response per person, start and end dates, and thank-you messages.	Google Forms lets you review settings before publishing, including one-response limits, response editing, and confirmation messages.	Notion Forms can be created from databases and support question setup, anonymous responses, and sharing settings.	Adobe Acrobat Web Forms focuses on online form and e-sign workflows, with tools to create, publish, and manage web forms.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The Industry setting is part of the poll creation flow. Distinct: You can finish the setting and continue previewing in the same editing workflow.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on general form settings and does not describe an industry field inside a poll workflow.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on publishing and response controls rather than an industry classification field for polls.	Compared with WPS: database integration is stronger, but some advanced logic is tied to paid plans, and the official page does not describe a poll industry field.	Compared with WPS: the product focus is web forms for signature workflows rather than native poll industry configuration.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Industry is a practical fit when you are already building a poll in Smart Form and want to complete the setting directly in that workflow. The other products mainly document broader form settings or web-form management, so their official capabilities do not map to this field-level poll setup in the same way.
