With Microsoft Forms you can create a form, such as a survey or quiz, invite others to respond to it using almost any web browser or mobile device, see real-time results as they’re submitted, use built-in analytics to evaluate responses, and export results to Excel for additional analysis or grading.
Microsoft SharePoint is a knowledge-based system. It is primarily used for documents but it also has the ability to use for list register.
Microsoft Form captures data and then populates the information collected into a SharePoint List. Every single response that is uploaded in Microsoft form is copied over the SharePoint list. We can use workflow to get each response to record as a row in the SharePoint list. One of the benefits of using Microsoft Forms is that there is no risk of losing data.
