Alchemer vs. Satmetrix (discontinued)

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.

Satmetrix is best suited if you don't currently use Salesforce. A lot of its main selling points are negated by the virtue of having Salesforce. Case management is in Salesforce, reporting is in Salesforce, the structure that NPX imposes is actually clunky and unwieldy, and is much more streamlined on competing platforms such as GetFeedback and SurveyMonkey. The only thing that leaves is the consultative service on being best practice and I don't really get to see any of that.

• 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.

Incentivized

• The user community Satmetrix has developed is great. More so, they seem to have identified this as an area for on-going investment.
• The course materials provided by Satmetrix for certification were thorough.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Java compatibility, needs to work with newer versions. Prompts to use an older Java version in a browser can be annoying while creating reports and have to close them, then reopen with the right version.

Costs would play a big role in a potential renewal. Additionally, with the experience gained from the original project and education, I would feel comfortable running a program with a less costly vendor.

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.

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.

Our previous survey tools were SurveyMonkey and in-house applications. Satmetrix is significantly more powerful than anything we have used previously.

• 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.
