Considered Both Products	Glow No answer on this topic	SurveyMonkey MA Mohammed Alkayal Project Officer Chose SurveyMonkey I think we were looking for a survey products, so when I think about survey products; SurveyMonkey is the only solution Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey Outside of creating our own surveys, no other tools have been used outside of SurveyMonkey. I have heard of a few others but would not be able to provide an honest opinion due to my lack of experience working with them. Incentivized Helpful? BL Brandon Lai IT Manager Chose SurveyMonkey SurveyMonkey is way better than jotform for surveys, simply because it is a dedicated survey software, whereas Jotform is more general form builder. If a business's sole purpose is to send a survey out and view responses, SurveyMonkey is better than Jotform in every category. Incentivized Helpful? Stefan Achard President and Founder Chose SurveyMonkey As [I] mentioned in the previous comments, [I believe] there is no comparison. [In my opinion,] SurveyMonkey is a market lagger. Incentivized Helpful? CP Curtis Pierre Regional HR Manager Chose SurveyMonkey The tool is free, but we selected SurveyMonkey because we were able to easily pull the data and do the analysis. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey I have only used this software and have not used others. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey In terms of creating surveys and analyzing their results, the main competitor we use is Qualtrics. I think Qualtrics has better features, a more professional environment, and more robust tools. This can also be negative as it can be overwhelming for untrained users. I have … Incentivized Helpful? Andrea Hester Director Of Operations Chose SurveyMonkey SurveyMonkey has the most options in terms of available question formats, analysis and participant tracking, and customizability. Google Forms is a more basic interface with fewer options for tracking and analysis, and Typeform is better in terms of design and branding options … Incentivized Helpful? Shawn Bennett Sr. Account Executive - Inbound Team Lead Chose SurveyMonkey SurveyMonkey offers a better end user and survey building experience. The tools to easily create a fun and engaging survey are easily accessible, easy to understand, and easy to use. You could go as far as to say that a monkey could figure out how to use SurveyMonkey. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey I've only built my own in Access, SharePoint, and HTML. I don't like any of them. Plus, anything internal like SharePoint is going to have a network user/time stamp, and that wont increase participation at all. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey SurveyMonkey is the least used between Wufoo, Titan Forms, and Google Forms. It is a solid program, however, for our uses the other programs provide additional features such as syncing to our CRM database, accepting Stripe payments, or automatically syncing with my already … Incentivized Helpful? Caroline Dobson Human Resources Generalist Chose SurveyMonkey SurveyMonkey is easier to customize and provides much more in depth analytics. SurveyMonkey also provides better templates providing us with a better presentation to our employees. SurveyMonkey also comes with a more trustworthy platform that ensures confidentiality, which is … Incentivized Helpful? TC Tiffany Consalvo Practice Administrator Chose SurveyMonkey SurveyMonkey has more analytic data options than what I found using Google Forms. Otherwise, if you use the Google Suite of products you may find it easier to just use Google Forms. When it comes to our website forms we have switched to JotForm as it has a better display on our … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey It's probably above Google Surveys and below the other two. I didn't select SurveyMonkey, the company already had it and I made the decision to get an additional license for my work. Incentivized Helpful? VC Vasilii Chistyakov Owner Chose SurveyMonkey Compared to Google forms, it is easier to create a beautiful design for a survey form in SurveyMonkey. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey In my opinion, SurveyMonkey is the gold standard. Google Forms and Google Surveys, while being able to connect easily to other Google tools, are not as adept or intuitive as SurveyMonkey is. Google is trying to be all things for all people, and while it does a lot of those … Incentivized Helpful? Duane Thompson Product Development Lead Chose SurveyMonkey SurveyMonkey has more than 150 survey templates to choose from that are expert-written ranging from market research product survey, customer satisfaction survey templates, 360-degree employee evaluation, product testing, website feedback and so much more. It has more … Incentivized Helpful? Vinicius Andrade UI/UX Designer Chose SurveyMonkey The level of options compared to Google Forms, and the regionalized prices compared to Typeform. Incentivized Helpful? Jason Emery AIS Director Chose SurveyMonkey I have used Qualtrics as well. I would say Qualtrics is a more of a higher end survey solution but if your needs are basic survey monkey is probably the better value and easier to get started. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey While Google Forms is free, the ability to design and customize forms/surveys would prove to be beneficial to the end user. Google Forms is very limited to multiple editors while SurveyMonkey provides viewing, editing, and commenting to editors. Additionally, the access to 200 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey SurveyMonkey has more professional features, templates and theme options than Google Surveys Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SurveyMonkey From my experience, I honestly think most of these tools are interchangeable, they have very similar functionality and can meet the same needs. I think there are more custom features that help all these tools differentiate themselves, however, my experience with them has been … Incentivized Helpful? Ira Bornstein, MBA Executive Chose SurveyMonkey I've been using SurveyMonkey for more than 20 years - most of the competitor solutions that I reviewed over 20 years ago don't even exist any longer, or they've been acquired by other firms. SurveyMonkey has stood the test of time, and never given me the need to seek out other … Incentivized Helpful? Betsy Scruggs Research Chose SurveyMonkey I like [SurveryMonkey] better because it is a way easier website to use. Very user friendly. The website is very easy to get all the feedback together in one place. The other website I used had a lot of glitches and was different than survey monkey. That website was too much … Incentivized Helpful? JP Juan Palma Software Development Manager Chose SurveyMonkey We really didn't look at alternatives.

User Testimonials
	Glow	SurveyMonkey
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	SurveyMonkey really excels in the survey design aspect of the surveying process. They have so many different question types that you can use to create your questions. The analytics and reporting are basic but ok for those wanting simple insights into their survey answers. Their free plan should suffice for any business that needs the fundamentals of surveying - i.e. survey builder, sharing, and viewing answers. Incentivized BL Brandon Lai IT Manager Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	SurveyMonkey's survey programming features are extremely intuitive. Someone who has never used it before can, with little direction or training, easily set up a simple - or comprehensive - survey in a matter of minutes. Real-time reporting and analytics tools are extremely helpful to keep everyone involved informed on an ongoing basis. Virtually any kind of question or answer format can be programmed into your SurveyMonkey survey. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	I think it's becoming pushed to the back-burner as more survey sites come out - it needs to come up with something to keep it more relevant as other survey sites are being more widely used. Give more options to customize the look of your survey. Incentivized Amanda Carpenter Administrative Office Technician Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Compared to other competitors in the market (including a few I've used internally), if you're looking for a survey application, this one does the job and it's quite inexpensive too. Considering the fact that it comes with a handy mobile application too (on iOS and Android), you also get flexibility thrown in the deal too. Ben Donkor Social Media & Online Analyst Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	SurveyMonkey should suffice for most simple use cases to collect responses or feedback from clients. The templates that they offer are helpful as well as the guidance on question formulation. If you just need a stand alone software to distribute and collect surveys, then SurveyMonkey will meet your needs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	still to many limitations for more complex surveys --skips, filtered questions, etc. Jeannette Saquet President Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I haven’t used the support function yet, but I have had colleagues that have and the issues they’ve faced have been resolved super quickly. They also have said the support people they have come in contact with have been extremely friendly. Those two things are what made me choose my rating Incentivized Betsy Scruggs Research Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Implementation not required. Rachel Biederman Senior Director, Marketing and Communications Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Outside of creating our own surveys, no other tools have been used outside of SurveyMonkey.

Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	SurveyMonkey has a positive impact on our organization by allowing us to gain insight to our team through the 360 evaluations. We have had positive ROI from our client polling questions which have directed new products or services that we offer. The analytics were an awesome way to filter and export responses so that our management team could evaluate the information. Incentivized TC Tiffany Consalvo Practice Administrator Read full review
