Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Data Statistics entry inside Smart Forms surveys, where you can open a panel, configure related settings, preview the result, and save the setup.	Microsoft Forms provides a Responses Overview, individual response review, and the option to open results in Excel.	Google Forms provides Summary and Individual response views, plus viewing in Sheets or downloading CSV files.	Notion Forms stores responses in a database, where teams can filter, sort, and add chart views for analysis.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus more on web form data export, filtering, and report management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The statistics entry is part of the survey editing flow, so setup, preview, and confirmation can be completed in one place before publishing.	Compared with WPS: The official guidance focuses more on viewing and exporting collected responses than on statistics setup inside the editing flow.	Compared with WPS: It supports response summaries and exports, but the workflow is centered more on reviewing collected responses.	Compared with WPS: Analysis depends on database views, and some form creation or customization actions are limited to desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: The workflow is oriented more toward signed web form export and management than a survey statistics panel.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure survey statistics directly during form editing, WPS keeps that workflow more centralized. If you mainly need to review collected responses, export data, or continue analysis in external tables, Microsoft Forms, Google Forms, and Notion each provide their own response analysis paths, while Adobe is more suitable for signed web form data management.
