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 …
Survicate
Chose Survicate
I must say, the quality and level of Customer Success done by the Survicate team is outstanding. As a customer of the highest tier package of Survicate, we regularly receive hints and suggestion on what we can improve when it comes to our surveys. We even have a Slack channel, …
Chose Survicate
Survicate is great at allowing us to poll users in-app and quickly analyzing results for distribution amongst the organization. However, its surveying capabilities are limited, visual interfaces are all over the place, which risks damaging the site's overall visual appeal, and …
Chose Survicate
Considering the simplicity of the need, and the cost of such solution (~600$/yr), I don't think there was very deep research for any alternatives. The main alternative was embedding a feedback tool "organically" into our site, that option was taken off the table, for strategic …

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.

Sruveys with more complex flows/logis - especially when you want to link results back to specific users to be able to do more-in-depth analysis of results

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.

  • IMO, the strengths of feedback lite is what it is called for - 'lite"... it is basic, simple, and easy to set up and use.
  • Especially should be mention that it is easy to set up, and you can have it working in less than a few hours.
  • Reliable - I don't remember even one "problem" or an issue we experienced with it.
Read full review
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.

  • In my opinion, inconsistent and visually unappealing survey visuals (e.g., NPS and cSAT questions look completely different from each other, creating a disjointed visual experience)
  • Poor customer service (in my experience, issue resolution can take weeks)
  • Lack of clarity around API & other technical capabilities requiring engineering assistance
  • Very limited maximum response limit per month

Only if we will really consider other features, we might end up with an alternative tool. if will continue the business process as it is, I don't anticipate migrating to another product

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.
Read full review
In my experience, implementation was very drawn out and overly complicated (needed lots of engineering help from both sides), visual interface both within the tool and surveys shown in-app is unappealing and sometimes misleading, and making sure the right users are being targeted for any given survey sometimes requires more babysitting than ideal.

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.

Survicate offers quick in-product support, via chat ( not a chatbot ) that responds in minutes, not hours. For all customers. This is definitely something I don't see in some of the tools we use. Secondly, as a highest-package customer we're receiving insightful tips, and recommendations from our Customer Success Manager, who knows our use-cases really well and knows how Survicate can best address them. We even have a Slack channel, where we can get help in no-time

Setup was simple. One-time installation for our website and inside the product. We used Google Tag Manager to implement Survicate. So within 2 hours, we were able to run surveys, and also all attributes and events were passed to Survicate, so that we were able to use them to trigger surveys

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.

Survicate is great at allowing us to poll users in-app and quickly analyzing results for distribution amongst the organization. However, its surveying capabilities are limited, visual interfaces are all over the place, which risks damaging the site's overall visual appeal, and customer service for anything beyond basic questions is very slow.

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
  • Being able to automatically identify topics from open-text responses significantly reduced amount of manual work on our end. Hours saved on weekly basis.
  • One-time quick installation reduced the potential amount of development time required to either build surveys, or update them on our own.
  • We find these surveys to be a good alternative to lengthy questionnaires, or deep interviews. They're super quick to launch, and generate insights almost instantly. Money and time may be saved on user interviews, and incentives to take questionnaires.
