How surveys differ from evaluation and feedback forms
An online survey is a structured set of questions designed to collect quantitative and qualitative data from a group of people. Surveys help you identify opinions, attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors so you can recognize trends and make informed decisions.
Surveys may look similar to feedback and evaluation forms, but each format serves a different purpose. Here’s a simple overview to help you choose the right option for your project:
| Form type | Main purpose | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Survey | Identify patterns and trends in a group | Market research, customer insights, academic studies — see our Customer Survey Templates |
| Feedback Form | Capture a person’s impression of a specific experience | Product or website feedback — try Feedback Form Templates |
| Evaluation Form | Assess performance or quality using defined criteria | Events, courses, employees — browse Evaluation Form Templates |
| Questionnaire | Collect factual or descriptive information | Registrations, intake forms, profile forms — explore Questionnaire Templates |
If your goal is to understand a group and uncover broader trends, a survey is usually the best choice.
At the same time, you can mix in selected feedback or evaluation elements — such as satisfaction ratings or performance-based questions — when it helps you collect richer insights. This flexible approach allows you to combine big-picture trends with more personal impressions in a single, easy-to-analyze form.
