Considered Both Products
Alchemer
Chose Alchemer
Qualtrics had many benefits in terms of reporting and analysis. However, it was lacking in the questions and survey building elements when compared to Alchemer
Chose Alchemer
Alchemer has been very resourceful and compared to most competitors, it is superior in all aspects. It is affordable and no compromises on capabilities. It is also easy to use.
Chose Alchemer
SurveyMonkey, Formsite. Ultimately, Alchemer remains our go-to solution as it's combination of ability and flexibility bested the other options.
Chose Alchemer
Alchemer surveys have more functionalities and features such as logics, survey tracking and flawless integration systems.
Chose Alchemer
Our business team takes pride in immersing ourselves with the wide variety of survey-based platforms available. Much of our goal is recommending the proper people, processes, and technologies to our customers and many of those recommendations come from our own experience with …
Chose Alchemer
While there are other survey platforms out there, SurveyGizmo stands out from the rest. It provides a much wider variety of question and filtering options and easily exports data and creates reports with the touch of a button. These features among others allow for greater …
Chose Alchemer
Best alternative and value for the cost EASILY. AND it performs similar or more functions than that of Qualtrics. Survey Monkey is just terrible.
Chose Alchemer
Used to use SurveyMonkey at a previous company, and the functionality is quite similar. I recall SurveyMonkey having a few more bells and whistles, but that was years ago!
Chose Alchemer
I liked the interface for SurveyGizmo much more than Qualtrics. You knew a question was adjusted in SurveyGizmo and wouldn't change, but with Qualtric's interface, you had to refresh the account several times sometimes to ensure the question would work appropriately. Also, with …
Chose Alchemer
Survey Gizmo has similar survey complexity as Qualtrics (breadth of tools) and similar piping and logic. Survey Gizmo is better suited for slightly smaller enterprises since it has similar tools yet is not as expensive.
Compared to Survey Monkey, Survey Gizmo takes a bit more …
Chose Alchemer
We have been using SG for over 4 years now. SG definitely is quickly catching up with Qualtrics and there are more and more powerful features coming out. Pricewise, SG is also much more affordable.
Chose Alchemer
For the functionality, especially with the additional features such as NPS and Max Diff, SurveyGizmo was all around the best option for the price. It allowed us to do everything we could with a previous tool and didn't have too many extra functions we were paying for but didn't …

Chose Delighted by Qualtrics
Delighted is very intuitive and easy to setup. You won't need a ton of technical background to do so. True, that the customization in terms of themes could use more flexibility but if you're just starting with your CX journey, Delighted would be the perfect solution. The fact …
Chose Delighted by Qualtrics
I have been more impressed with the survey and follow-up responses within other platforms and demos we have had. In addition, the reporting capabilities and segmentation/customizations seem more robust in other platforms
Chose Delighted by Qualtrics
I have not used any other company like this from a business standpoint. I have, however, completed surveys that were provided through Qualtrics and I couldn't help but wish Delighted had those questions built in.
Chose Delighted by Qualtrics
I chose Delighted because it offered an affordable price point to get started, yet with plenty of room to grow. We started with 2,500 contacts per month, which is more generous than competitors offer at a similar price. I also saw that Delighted could integrate with Salesforce …
Chose Delighted by Qualtrics
Delighted is very easy to use, for both our organization and our customers. There was little, if any, learning curve to figure out how to use most of its features. On the customer end, it's as simple as opening your email and tapping a rating. This makes customers more likely …

Likelihood to Recommend
Price to performance, Survey Gizmo is a great tool. There are a couple hiccups but it has a ton of features that you can't get from some of the SMB competition and it even rivals some of the Enterprise competition. If you are looking for a large scale surveying platform, it may be worth it to go with one of the more expensive, team-oriented enterprise versions, but if you're part of a mid sized enterprise or SMB team, SurveyGizmo is worth it.

If you need a cheap solution and do not care too much about the data you are getting from your NPS program, then Delighted will do the trick. This does not seem to fit the needs of enterprise customers who want to go deep on data, segmentation, and quality feedback.

Pros
  • Streamlines the survey process and provides quality data.
  • Provides a wide variety of question types and filtering options in order to ensure the proper questions are being asked.
  • Better improves outcomes for constituents/patients.
  • Easy to edit and reformat questions as desired.
  • Easy to navigate, export data, and create reports.
Read full review
  • The user dashboard is exceptionally simple and easy to navigate.
  • The survey experience is sufficiently customizable but is mostly pre-configured and ready to use.
  • Customer support is remarkable. Very quick, thorough answers!

Cons
  • Advanced logic - more difficult than what it should be. If I'm piping answers to another question, I shouldn't have to create a lengthy logic script for it to perform (this is just with advanced logic).
  • Too "bubbly" of a template - I didn't like the clouds so I had mine switched to a more basic format.
  • Accounts - should be able to create different accounts for different users and separate the surveys based on the user.

  • There doesn't seem to be an app for Delighted (at least on iPhone), so you need to log in to the site from a web browser. A mobile app would save a step and could allow you to get push notifications, which would be helpful.
  • Setting up Delighted surveys through SMS has been difficult for us. It might just be our CRM or website, but we haven't been able to enable this yet.
  • The service seems a little pricey. You pay by the amount of surveys you want to send out per month. For such a simple survey and reporting system (and I mean that in a good way) I would think the price should be lower.

Usability
The feature sets, agility, and flexibility remain approachable and incredibly powerful. Support is also very responsive and top notch. Overall, with a bit of basic foundational skills, there are seemingly an unlimited number of use cases for which Alchemer can be leveraged.

We run surveys every single day and have the responses fed directly into our Slack instance. Everyone in the organization (not just CX) can view and resolve any issues customers bring up without needing for them to reach out to our Customer Support team. Truly, Delighted has made the organization more customer centric by delivering the feedback right where everyone is (no PowerPoint presentations required).

Support Rating
Every once in awhile, it is necessary to solicit support. On those occasions, support is extremely responsive and supportive. It has been my experience that [if] they can't walk you through the desired endpoint, they will take a look at your build and remedy for you.

I have nothing but good things to say about Delighted's Concierge team. They have been quick to respond and have been able to make a lot of our customization requests a reality. They're also very open to product requests and suggestions and have been quick in churning out new features ever so often.

Alternatives Considered
Our business team takes pride in immersing ourselves with the wide variety of survey-based platforms available. Much of our goal is recommending the proper people, processes, and technologies to our customers and many of those recommendations come from our own experience with the tools. SurveyGizmo fills an extremely valuable role within business analytics. It helps gain the voice of the customer (or end-user) while offering a wide-ranging functional platform for data gathering and organization. SurveyGizmo is up to the task when competing with other high-profile tools and is a fantastic business option for those looking for a proficient survey tool.

Delighted is very intuitive and easy to setup. You won't need a ton of technical background to do so. True, that the customization in terms of themes could use more flexibility but if you're just starting with your CX journey, Delighted would be the perfect solution. The fact that they have most channels covered e.g. email, web, SDK, and even text really makes it easy to reach your customers (or any respondent in that matter) where they are.

Return on Investment
  • It has always delivered on all our business objectives. I think that the reason why it's a bit [more] expensive than other providers.
  • It has helped us to optimize resources especially man hours involved in survey design.
  • It has been a valuable partner in almost all [of] our uses.
Read full review
  • It has had a positive impact on our customer satisfaction overall. Once we receive a score that is 5 or below, we reach out to address their concerns and find areas to improve their experience with our product.
  • When we receive a favorable rating, it gives us the opportunity to touch base with those customers to see what they are enjoying most or doing effectively.
