A Microsoft Forms alternative for the outside world
Inside a Microsoft 365 organisation, Forms is hard to beat: it's already there, already wired to Excel, and everyone has an account. Outside it's a different story — the form reads as an internal tool, and the person receiving it isn't always sure whether they need to sign in.

How often do you quit a survey halfway?
When to stay on Microsoft Forms
For internal forms — a survey of colleagues, an availability round-up, a training quiz — Microsoft Forms is already paid for, already wired to Excel and already inside Teams: switching makes no sense. Formarium is for when the form leaves the organisation and the person receiving it just has to answer.
