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.
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.
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.
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
Customization of Bitrix24 forms was not as per our requirements (like additional form options/ease of customizing) which Zoho Forms has been able to solve. Also the notification of a form submission from a lead or existing customer was the major issue we faced with Bitrix24 but …
Zoho Forms is just as good as Google Forms. I believe that ZF is easier to use. I have not used GF as extensively as ZF. I will be evaluating GF in the very near future. I selected ZF mainly because it easily integrates with its own Zoho applications quickly and with very …
Both mentioned services work great and have their own special features but ultimately the integration with the Zoho platform makes Zoho Forms work great for us. Google Forms are similar in they integrate with GApps nicely and are simple to create. Typeform, when evaluated, …
I chose this software because it is very well integrated with other Zoho products which I am using. Apart from this it has mobile applications also which allows me to use this software from my mobile devices when I am traveling for work. Its mail merge feature is also one of …
None of the above products integrate directly with a powerful CRM such as Zoho CRM. That is the main selling point for me. There is manual entry into your email list if you are not using their product but that is very minor compared to how much less data entry we complete with …
Zoho Forms I found to be more affordable (free tiers works for many businesses). They offered solutions that fit the need & didn't limit features like some of the other services trying to upsell. Jotform offers a lot more add-on features or widgets and has an interesting …
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.
Zoho Forms is well suited for anyone wanting to track items from a specific event or feedback at the conclusion of an event. It is also well suited to track responses. Zoho Forms is less suited for the scenarios where official approval is required because the forms are meant for a single user, and not to be filled out by one person, and then forwarded to another to document the approval. It would also not be good to replace an excel or word document to submit to another department requesting a part number for a new product because again once the form is submitted there is not a way for the second party to 'Update' the existing form and add the part number assigned by the second party.
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.
Its feature of sending alerts in real time is my favorite feature. Whenever someone fills an inquiry form, I get alert immediately.
It has a mobile app also which makes this software usable at anytime and anywhere.
It's a cloud based application so users don't need so save anything on their system and they don't need to be dependent on their system. They can access their forms from any system.
It is very easy to use & straight forward for a tech or non-tech user. It is very easy to distribute the form & collect data to evaluate. Lots of features to make the form unique or to collect data in many ways (sliders, wheels, more than just typed data entry). Works great on desktop or mobile devices as well.
So far we have not faced any issue while using the software but our customer journey has been breathtaking so far, which obviously i am expecting, should be the case of the support of Zoho Forms as well. However we have explored their support channels; you can easily find the contact us form in the profile slider and there are other resources available with a single click like Help Menu, What's New Menu, Blogs and Forums. However i could not find any live chat or support with the Free version.
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.
Zoho Forms I found to be more affordable (free tiers works for many businesses). They offered solutions that fit the need & didn't limit features like some of the other services trying to upsell. Jotform offers a lot more add-on features or widgets and has an interesting platform, but it is much more costly for small businesses.
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.
The biggest pain point we had was getting notified in time of form submission which Zoho Forms has solved and now we do not miss any form submission from a potential lead.
Our existing customers (50+) were using conventional methods to inform us about issues being faced which was a major hassle for us in providing good customer services. But thanks to Zoho Forms, we now document each issue properly, respond to it in a timely manner and get it resolved with the SLAs.
We have also used Zoho Forms to have our live chat channel integrated with Zoho Forms to be able to get a form submission from them instantly while chatting with our CSRs.
