Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Matrix Scale entry in the Voting section of the Smart Forms editor, where you can configure options, preview the result, and confirm the setup.	Microsoft Forms offers rating-related question types such as Likert, but an official Microsoft Q&A page notes that it does not provide the same matrix functionality requested in that case.	Google Forms provides linear scale, rating, multiple choice grid, and checkbox grid question types for rating-style grid scenarios.	Notion Forms supports multiple question types, required fields, and anonymous submissions, but the public product page does not clearly describe a matrix scale question type.	Adobe Acrobat supports creating web forms, mainly for online form collection and signing workflows rather than survey-style matrix rating grids.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the entry is directly placed in the Smart Forms voting workflow; Distinct: settings can be adjusted and previewed before confirmation in the same editing flow.	Compared with WPS: focuses more on general rating question types, with less direct public guidance for an equivalent matrix setup.	Compared with WPS: public documentation is clearer for grid question types, but the product is positioned as a general-purpose form service.	Compared with WPS: emphasizes workspace-integrated form collection, while matrix scale support is not clearly described on the public page.	Compared with WPS: is more oriented to document signing and web form distribution than matrix rating survey scenarios.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to configure a matrix scale directly inside a voting-oriented smart form workflow, WPS keeps the entry closer to that editing path. Google Forms provides more explicit public documentation for grid question types, while Microsoft, Notion, and Adobe describe adjacent capabilities with different product focuses.
