Is there an alternative to Microsoft Forms?
There are hundreds of alternatives to Microsoft Forms, but you can narrow down your search by asking yourself one key question before you start comparing one online form builder to another. Do the Australian Privacy Principles and Privacy Act (1988) apply to your business or organisation? If the answer is yes, then most online forms solutions, including Microsoft Forms, are not compliant with Australia's privacy legislation because they store your data on servers located outside Australia, unlike Snapforms who store all data right here in Australia on Australian-based servers.

What is better than Microsoft Forms?
If you operate an Australian-based business or practice that is bound by Australian privacy legislation, Microsoft Forms is not going to meet your needs. Although Microsoft Forms may be a convenient solution if you use Microsoft products, they're only going to be a good fit if you or your IT team are not concerned about your data being stored offshore. An Australian-based solution like Snapforms offers far more functionality and features than Microsoft Forms, while also providing a solution that complies with the Australian Privacy Act.
-
Is there a free version of Microsoft Forms?
As long as you have a Microsoft account, you can use Microsoft Forms for free. But the forms are basic and if the Australian Privacy Principles apply to your organisation, Microsoft Forms is not compliant with the Australian Privacy Principles (Privacy Act 1988).

Where is Microsoft forms stored?
According to Microsoft, Microsoft Forms data is stored on servers in the United States, with the exception of data for European-based tenants, which is stored on servers in Europe. This means Australian users' data is stored on servers outside Australia. If your forms collect data from people in Australia, Microsoft can't claim that its data security measures comply with the Australian Privacy Principles or Privacy Act 1988. Snapforms store all data right here in Australia on Australian-based servers.
