Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a User Name field entry in Smart Forms surveys, with a settings panel, preview, and confirmation before saving.	Microsoft Forms lets you control whether responder names are recorded and supports creating forms and adding questions.	Google Forms supports creating forms, adding questions, marking fields as required, previewing the form, and collecting participant email addresses.	Notion Forms automatically creates a Respondent property to capture names and also supports anonymous responses.	Adobe Acrobat Sign web forms can require a recipient name in agreement or web form workflows and use that name in the signing process.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The User Name field is part of the survey editing flow, so you can configure the field, preview it, and confirm it in one place.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on response identity settings such as Record name instead of a dedicated name-field editing entry.	Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance focuses on form creation, question editing, and email collection, so name collection is usually built through question design.	Compared with WPS: Notion can capture a Respondent value automatically, but some form creation and customization actions are limited to desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on signing and agreement workflows than on a general survey field editing flow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS keeps the name field closer to the survey editing workflow, which is practical when you want to configure respondent name collection quickly.
