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 …
Zoho Survey
Chose Zoho Survey
(Other survey apps were not listed to choose from, so this section is irrelevant). Compared to Doodle or Survey Monkey, Zoho Survey has everything you need in a survey app as part of your Zoho One suite. It can also integrate well with Zoho's other apps to get a more complete …
Chose Zoho Survey
N/A. I don't personally use any other survey program, so I don't have accurate feedback for this section.
Chose Zoho Survey
Google Forms is about as basic as it gets and I use this personally. Typeform seems to be at the complete opposite end of the survey spectrum in that it has one of the best UI's I've ever seen and has so many cool features. I've not ever used Typeform but have evaluated it. …
Chose Zoho Survey
Zoho Survey has great capabilities that make it a very robust application. It is very simple to use, it has a very friendly interface and it is also more economical. It has a free version that allows you to explore its capabilities. It is definitely the best application to do …
Chose Zoho Survey
We went with Zoho Survey largely because we use other Zoho products. I did try SurveyMonkey and actually found it a little overwhelming in terms of how much customization you could do with it. Once back with Zoho Survey, having used other Zoho products, I was more comfortable …
Chose Zoho Survey
Easy to add to our existing plan with CRM and we really wanted everything under one roof and not multiple software. It's quick and simple and easy to use and does everything we need it to do and great to reflex on after you have serviced a client to see what improvements we …

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.

Like all Zoho products, if you are using Zoho CRM than I would highly recommend Zoho Survey. The insights you can get out of staying only in one program (Zoho CRM) is so powerful for users. While it takes an admin or marketing person to configure the surveys in Zoho Survey, users within Zoho CRM never have to actually go to Zoho Survey to see responses as they are available right in front of them in the CRM. If you are looking for a stand alone survey app, Zoho Survey will meet your needs. It has all the functionality one could need to build a basic, intuitive survey. If you're looking for a survey to be very aesthetically pleasing with graphics or custom themes or the like, there may be better options.

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.

  • It can be a little "clunky" if you are not experienced in how Zoho Products work
  • The pricing is a little harder to grasp than other products
  • Customization is not as flexible as some other products out there

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.

Zoho Survey is really easy to use. We've used Doodle and Survey Monkey in the past, and Zoho Social is just as easy, if not easier to use.

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 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.

  • 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.
