Considered Both Products
AskNicely
Chose AskNicely
We previously used a consulting company to survey a batch of customers which meant we had an influx of feedback to deal with and work through at one point in time rather than an on-going, steady stream of feedback.
Chose AskNicely
We tested a few tools before choosing AskNicely but it won because of:
  • pricing
  • customer support
Chose AskNicely
AskNicely does a great job of making NPS survey sending easy. You don't have to set up Salesforce email templates or workflows to schedule to sending. This has been really useful in terms of getting up and running quickly.
Chose AskNicely
I like AskNicely much better than Delighted because you can directly “close the loop” with customers. Delighted doesn’t allow you to do that. That’s a big problem.
Chose AskNicely
AskNicely has a Salesforce integration and goes a bit deeper than the others. However, if you're on a budget this gets pricier.

What you'll want to do is list out your Must Haves, Should Haves, and Could Haves to help you effectively decide what software you need. For us, it …
Chose AskNicely
My company signed on with AskNicely before I came on board, so I honestly can't speak to that
Chose AskNicely
On the back end & integrations, we found AskNicely was much further along than its competitors. We also found the UX on AskNicely was much better than promoter.io.
Chose AskNicely
3 of the 5 could not integrate with tools we use: Hubspot , Shopify, Slack. AskNicely and CustomerGauge integrates with these. AskNicely won against CustomerGauge because it can trigger feedback requests after specific events/timeframes, and trigger campaigns that target …
Chose AskNicely
When we evaluated Delighted we found a product that *almost* met our needs. They provide great surveys with solid analytics at an unbeatable price point that includes all the integrations now matter what price you enter at. The thing that won us over to AskNicely was the …
Chose AskNicely
We are still evaluating SurveyMonkey against AskNicely, but initial results would seem to favor the latter. For ease-of-use, flexibility, and easily accessible analytics, AskNicely wins on all counts. Both have robust outreach engines, and there are limitations and pros/cons …
Sogolytics
Chose Sogolytics
In summary, Sogolytics has proven to be the perfect fit for our pre and post-test assessments. Its seamless integration, efficient data collection, and powerful reporting capabilities have significantly improved our ability to track and communicate the impact of our programs. …
Chose Sogolytics
in my opinion tools such as SoGoSurvey are perfect, especially for students and researchers in small institutions that cannot afford the prices of other platforms such as Qualtrics. SoGoSurvey is much more accessible in terms of prices and offers free advanced or super …
Chose Sogolytics
When we were looking for a replacement for SurveyMonkey due to not being able to carry out a specific type of questionnaire without being on a higher level package we discovered SoGoSurvey who were able to provide these features without any additional costs. SoGoSurvey was the …
Chose Sogolytics
SoGoSurvey is better than their opponent since they provide better support and it’s a lot easier to use.
Chose Sogolytics
Look and feel and support were much better.
Chose Sogolytics
SurveyMonkey allowed our team to design a complete survey, before asking us to pay a subscription price after this had been finished. This wasted our time and felt like a trick, making us invest time and energy in designing something that would be wasted unless you gave them …
Chose Sogolytics
I've used several other survey tools, but for this specific case, I needed a somewhat more sophisticated tool for a specific and larger customer survey with several options. Also the survey needed to be company branded so customers really felt it came from us.
Chose Sogolytics
We ultimately went with SoGoSurvey because of its user friendly functionality, robust reporting with customizable graphs and charts, including the word cloud feature and the template library. I also found that the other products we considered were so much more robust than we …
Chose Sogolytics
We've used SurveyGizmo and SurveyMonkey in the past. In terms of functionality, they all do the trick. But, in terms of pricing and customer service, there is no comparison. SoGoSurvey has far exceeded our expectations. As a pre-revenue startup they really went above and beyond …
Chose Sogolytics
  • Easier to use.
  • More contemporary look and feel.
  • Excellent customer service.
Chose Sogolytics
We previously used another survey product that had limited functionality. When we were looking for a change we evaluated two other companies and SoGo stood out the most.
Chose Sogolytics
They are very similar products but in the end SoGo's customer service won out. They were so helpful and attentive and we didn't go through multiple layers of people in the Sales process.
Chose Sogolytics
SoGoSurvey provided more functionality and better reporting survey metrics for a good pricepoint.
Chose Sogolytics
The three of them have many similarities, Qualtrics seemed more robust but it felt overwhelming for my needs. Once the Surveymonkey trial period expired, we were unable to print or access any of the work we have done; this wasn't an issue with SoGo. SoGo customer service …
Chose Sogolytics
I evaluated several different products, including SurveyMonkey. SoGoSurvey appeared to have the most features at the best value. Unfortunately, the "free" service didn't satisfy our needs and we had to upgrade during the first survey. I found SurveyMonkey and SoGoSurvey to …
Chose Sogolytics
SoGoSurvey offered the best value for money mix of features compared to other products that I have investigated. However, recent price increases has undermined this.
Chose Sogolytics
SoGoSurvey was more flexible in my opinion compared to the other survey company's I looked at. It had a monthly price option that allowed for the type of logic we needed in our questions. It had great reports, a simple user interface, and tons of helpful tools and question …
Chose Sogolytics
Qualtrics and Google Forms both are ok but do not have the same functionality as SoGoSurvey, I would not use Google Forms because of serious shortcomings on question types and data analysis and I would prefer to use Sogo over Qualitics for the functionality boost, Qualtrics has …
Chose Sogolytics
SoGoSurvey stacks up against these other two products with its diverse set of reporting/analytics options, question types, and overall workflow. The ability to track a user's score in the Assessments is highly useful for our team, and not possible on other platforms. We …
Chose Sogolytics
Qualtrics is excellent, very robust, but extremely expensive. If an organization does not have the means, it's probably beyond most people's reach. SurveyMonkey's features are good, but one has to pay more to get what I got with SoGoSurvey. I evaluated various other survey …
Chose Sogolytics
All of them were fine enough, but so go had all the features for a fair price. Most of these platforms had one thing or another, but not everything. The flexibility of the types of questions was great.
Chose Sogolytics
I did not have experience using SurveyMonkey previous to our use of SoGoSurvey, but I do know that those who did were excited to hear about a lack of restrictions on survey deployment and some other features that were lacking in the free version of SurveyMonkey.

AskNicely is well suited for surveying customers about how they are feeling about your product. This can be their overall feeling or after they have taken a certain action. E.g. used a particular feature. It's not designed for getting through customer feedback, rather gauging satisfaction. You will need to follow up with other survey methods for detailed feedback.

We use Sogosurvey to obtain feedback from course candidates after they have attended a course. This is invaluable to us as the candidates can complete the feedback in their own time after the course is completed rather than them having to do it while attending the course. We also use SoGoSurvey to get feedback from our volunteer instructors who work for other organizations and at different hours so the ability for them to complete the surveys in their own time is invaluable.

Pros
  • The workflows and level of automation to make managing an ongoing NPS programme easy are fantastic.
  • The AskNicely TV Dashboard is great for getting everyone in the office interested in customer feedback - it essentially brings the customer into the room for some people who don't have a lot of direct contact with customers.
  • The system is very easy to use and intuitive.

  • SoGoSurvey makes it easy to create a survey even for the novice. I recently gave a spare license to a peer and they were able to easily develop a survey. I offered my help if she had any questions but she said that she'd definitely ask but "... I already love that I can change the answer format with the drop down. It's the best. "
  • Customer support. I 'chat' with support personnel when I need to use a feature I haven't used. They are always quick to respond and answer my questions thoroughly. I can get the complete chat via email for future reference as well.
  • Keeping clients up-to-date. SoGoSurvey regularly hosts free training and best practices webinars that keeps the basics at the forefront and shares best practices.
  • The canvas (survey metrics) is easy to create and very versatile in summarizing the survey results.

Cons
  • Integrations could always be another but they do a nice job getting Asknicely and CRM’s talking nicely to one another
  • I’d like to see more resources on how to take small businesses to the next level of CX execution using NPS and AskNicely
  • More, not fewer plan options
Read full review
  • Providing users the ability to follow along a specific question example (eg. placeholder text in questions that users can see what the answer might look like)
  • Better media management and implementation (eg. placing images/videos/gifs/etc. as standalone assets in the survey)
  • Making the images added into a survey responsive to the screen they are being viewed on (eg. any images added to a survey do not adjust to the size of the screen, consequently showing up very small on mobile/tablet view)
  • Exporting the survey to Word looks horrible - we'd love if the survey could be exported the way it looks when live into a similar-looking Word document or template

Very easy to use. My only challenge was the features offered in their Plus package didn't offer everything I would have liked (e.g. branching). The other area for improvement would be to allow an easier transition between Tracking and Reports.

I had an issue whereby I used a free trial that ended, locking me out of my account. I contacted their customer service to help with this issue, which they resolved in under half an hour. I was extremely impressed with their speed and quality of service, which led me to filling out this review!

Alternatives Considered
When we evaluated Delighted we found a product that *almost* met our needs. They provide great surveys with solid analytics at an unbeatable price point that includes all the integrations now matter what price you enter at. The thing that won us over to AskNicely was the "workflow" features. The ability to automatically reach out to customers based on the survey result is extremely powerful and saves a lot of time for multiple teams. Delighted does not offer that feature. Pendo lost out because of price, they are focused solely on enterprise customers and were literally thousands of dollars more a month than AskNicely. Now, to be fair, Pendo offers a much broader feature set than AskNicely, but as a straight NPS provider, AskNicely fit the bill perfectly.

In summary, Sogolytics has proven to be the perfect fit for our pre and post-test assessments. Its seamless integration, efficient data collection, and powerful reporting capabilities have significantly improved our ability to track and communicate the impact of our programs. We highly recommend Sogolytics to organizations looking for a reliable and user-friendly data management solution.

Return on Investment
  • The first positive impact has been stressing the nearly urgent need for a NPS tracking system. Gathering the first few responses (both positive and negative) was eye-opening.
  • The second positive impact was being able to see a commonality among our detractors, which in turn enabled our management team to shift strategies on prioritizing resources and projects.
  • Lastly, this has filled a niche in customer satisfaction feedback that was not sustainable in the previous methods.

  • We are more efficient. Instead of manual work, we can use this survey tool to do the heavy lifting, allowing for staff to focus on other tasks.
  • The "send later" feature ensure surveys are sent out without needing a manual reminder.
  • Offering pulse surveys has given us a great way to get a temperature check from employees.
