Here's why people don't like Google Forms
This is third party content sourced from the public web. You can verify this content if you wish. See our disclaimer and citations section below.
There are no templates for questionnaires and surveys. No branching and no logic skipping. ... It's quite annoying to have to back up your files into drive, doing Google Forms on mobile is awful. Limited software integration no automatic backup and storage. Limited collaborative tools no offline support... Founder within the Marketing and Advertising industry with 1-10 employees[1]
I do not like the lack of aesthetic templates available. How the questions are displayed at times can lack professionalism for businesses who uses their platform.... Program Coordinator within the Entertainment industry with 2-10 employees[2]
I wish there were better options for exporting the results into a separate document.... Founder within the Marketing and Advertising industry with 1-10 employees[3]
The feature set here is relatively basic. I wish for more question types and stylistic modifications. And because it is so ubiquitous, it looks like everybody's free form builder. It doesn't boost your brand image.[4]
Sometimes it can be a bit tricky to customize it fully to your need and it can give away a bit of lo-fi aura to potential respondents if you are a bigger organization since there are so many personal forms made with this tool and the users are used to get this form from their friends or family, or small organizations, and can expect more custom solution from a bigger organization. CEO within the Computer Software industry with 2-10 employees[5]
The software is designed to "take" only. There is no option to give back ... Startup[6]
The Google Forms 'quiz' option has added countless hours to my already busy schedule because it's the opposite of user-friendly. I would much prefer if there was no 'quiz' option at all so that we are not fooled into using an incomplete product.[7]
It is not a very good product with respect to the diverse requirements and experience was good but limited to basic implementations with ES type. Lack of API call in es type, bad user experience once deployed, session management is not accurate.[8]
Google Forms is terrible for anything complex. The conditional logic is basic at best, and trying to create anything that resembles a professional survey is frustrating. You're better off with literally any other form builder.[9]
While free is nice, Google Forms feels incredibly limited when you need to do anything beyond the most basic data collection. No real customization options and the responses just sit there - you have to manually do everything else.[10]

What is Google Forms used for?
Google Forms is a basic form builder that allows you to create surveys and collect responses. While it's free and straightforward to use, it typically stops at form submission - leaving you wondering what happens next. It's often like submitting your request into a void and hoping someone addresses it. See how Tallyfy launches complete workflows instead of just collecting responses.
As Warren Buffett said - "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing." This applies perfectly to choosing tools that might leave your processes incomplete.

What exactly is Tallyfy and how is it different?
Tallyfy goes far beyond simple form building - it's a comprehensive system that tracks every step in your workflow automatically. Instead of just collecting form responses, it ensures every submission triggers the appropriate actions, involving the right people at the right time. This typically saves around 2 hours per person daily, while keeping everything organized and trackable.
Why are standalone forms like Google Forms potentially problematic?
Forms are typically just the beginning of any process - not the end. When someone submits a Google Form, there's usually no automatic tracking of what happens next. This often creates a "submit and pray" situation where follow-up tasks may fall through the cracks. Tallyfy addresses this by connecting forms directly to automated workflows that help ensure nothing gets lost.
Does Google Forms offer country-specific pricing?
Google Forms may not provide country-specific pricing adjustments. In contrast, Tallyfy offers thoughtful GDP-based pricing with lifetime discounts for certain countries, making it accessible worldwide regardless of local purchasing power.
As Peter Drucker noted - "Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision." Choosing the right tools based on fair pricing is one such decision.

How does AI integration differ between these alternatives?
While Google Forms may not offer extensive AI capabilities, Tallyfy incorporates AI thoughtfully where it matters most. This includes automatic SOP migration, computer-use AI for mouse and keyboard automation, and practical workflow improvements - not just generic chatbot responses that might add little value.
How does process improvement work in each system?
Google Forms may not offer built-in process improvement capabilities. Tallyfy features an elegant system where users can leave comments that go directly to process owners, creating a continuous improvement cycle that's simple yet effective.
What happens after form submission in each tool?
With Google Forms, submissions typically land in a spreadsheet - that's often it. Tallyfy transforms this experience by automatically triggering the next steps, assigning tasks, and tracking progress through completion. It's the difference between hoping something happens and knowing it will.
