While Microsoft Forms is a convenient tool for creating basic surveys, it quickly becomes a bottleneck when faster & deeper analysis is needed. Users end up spending more time analyzing than acting, which defeats the purpose of using a survey tool.

Although the platform has AI Copilot, it lacks a reliable AI to automatically analyze open-ended responses. As a result, Microsoft Forms users often find themselves exporting data into third-party tools for analysis. This fragmented process limits the ability to uncover insights. This limitation is frustrating.

BlockSurvey’s AI Survey Analysis can help you in this case. Read on to learn why you must use BlockSurvey’s AI Analysis to analyze Microsoft Forms Responses.
