Microsoft Forms alternative: More than just creating surveys
Microsoft Forms collects responses. easyfeedback turns them into insights.
Microsoft Forms is a handy solution if you want to create forms or simple surveys. However, when feedback is to form the basis for decisions, simply collecting responses is often not enough.
easyfeedback helps you to automatically analyse feedback, identify patterns and highlight relevant signals – so that data can be turned into concrete actions.
Microsoft Forms or easyfeedback – what’s the difference?
Both solutions help to collect feedback. The key difference lies in what happens next.
Microsoft Forms focuses on creating forms and collecting responses. The data is analysed using simple charts or by exporting it, for example to Excel.
easyfeedback goes one step further. Our platform automatically analyses incoming feedback, summarises insights and helps you identify relevant trends at an early stage. This turns responses into actionable insights for better decision-making.
When Microsoft Forms is a good choice
Microsoft Forms is particularly suitable if you:
- want to create a form or survey quickly
- work within Microsoft 365
- want to carry out simple internal polls
- want to create quizzes or short feedback surveys
For these use cases, Microsoft Forms is a straightforward and easily accessible solution.
When businesses need more than just a survey tool
As the number of surveys increases, so do the demands. Rather than simply analysing individual results, the aim is to identify trends, interpret feedback correctly and derive appropriate actions from it. This is exactly where easyfeedback comes in. Our platform helps companies to:
- automatically analyse feedback,
- summarise open-ended responses using AI,
- identify recurring themes and patterns,
- highlight areas for action, and
make decisions based on sound data.
After all, problems rarely arise out of the blue. They are often foreshadowed by subtle signals in the feedback.
