DIBELS Next vs. Pointerpro

More intense face-to-face training would be beneficial. The students can utilize their accounts easily. I like the assessment three times per year & my access to see if a student has gained, and if not, then reasoning is given. Some of the reports are hard for families to follow and understand. Honestly, I preferred the computer interface from the past years as opposed to the current system.

I found the platform to be very suitable for assessment/survey products. Nevertheless, the offer is limited to some markets and may not work well for countries that have different languages, especially Asian countries. I have yet to test this out myself, but fingers crossed. I hope it works. It would be nice if the company could advise exactly which country the platform is working in.

• On-going Reading/Phonics/Dyslexia Screening
• Monthly Progress Monitoring
• Easy for the students to use on their end

• Intuitive branching logic mechanics. Survey Anyplace offers a nicely pipeline/process map format to visually see the branching logic for more robust question sets.
• Reliable results. Survey Anyplace offers important tracking data to evaluate and hold respondents accountable to completing the surveys.
• Users can save progress and come back. This allows busy respondents time to think about deeper questions, specifically when the surveys are being used in an interviewing approach.

Incentivized

• Presentation of the “how to”- I miss the older days of meeting for a week and learning the product inside & out.
• More user-friendly format for those giving assessments-difficult to use the home page & areas within.
• Parents/guardians have a difficult time with some of the written items, their lack of understanding.

• Creating something highly customized at the ReportR level means you will need to have some savvy with CSS if you want to do it yourself. But it also means you can create something truly incredible and they do not have the same limitations as other similar software.

We found it user friendly and fairly easy to set-up with our current personnel and without having to engage external consultants or to do any specific software development. It helped us implement a new marketing approach in very agile and quick way, which is much appreciated these days since you always have to act rapidly on the market not to loose any opportunities!

I wish there was a better live chat feature. Seems like I have to wait 30-60 every time I need to talk to someone. Though once I am able to speak with someone via the chat in my account, they have been very helpful in answering my questions or pointing me in the right direction.

Both provide BOY, MOY, & EOY Assessments. We Progress Monitor with both, but Renaissance is much easier for the students to use themselves. My students never complain about DIBELS Next testing (they like to see if they “move up.”) However, Renaissance is a product I have used successfully for many more years, and the ease of use is ideal when in a busy classroom.

We are currently looking into Jotform. Their prices are much more reasonable. They offer 10,000 submissions a month for $29. Why can't you guys offer something like that? I would fall in love with Survey Anyplace if the price was $29/month. I would tell everyone to purchase it. You would definitely get more clients if you lowered your prices.

• I’m not with the monetary element, but I would think our school has benefitted from this investment.

• As a publisher, the quizzes provide us with compelling type of "advertising" product to engage our clients' audiences.
• We use the quizzes to direct respondents to thought leadership content for lead gen. The "correct response" feature in the quizzes provide the most interesting sample of our clients' content.
