SurveyMonkey is also easy but lacks some of the integration that Google Surveys offers. Most people use Google or have an account which makes it very easy for them to use. Google Surveys are free and there is a free account for Survey Monkey, however it is more limited compared …

I have used Google Forms to create surveys in the past. I think SurveyMonkey delivers faster results that you can easily read and understand.

I think that google forms is a bit more accessible as most of what we do is on google and so in that regard, it is hard to prioritize an external software when it can do basically the same things.

This software is highly recommended to all schools, institutions and companies that carry out contests and awards, as it will speed up the selection, evaluation, awards and rewards tasks. It allows the entire contest to be done digitally, saving a lot of time and costs.

I think SurveyMonkey is well suited in company meetings to see how well customers like a certain product or in staff meetings to see how well a new teaching method is doing in comparison to an old one. I honestly think that SurveyMonkey can be used in just about anywhere that customer or employee feedback is valued.

Cons
  • The reporting capabilities can be improved to make analysis easier.
  • Customization is a bit difficult and requires help from OpenWater support and the solution team.

  • An average administration may not have the technical capabilities to adapt and shape it for themselves. While SurveyMonkey Apply has an option for tech support for a price, it is not something always easy for the admin.
  • There is no way to cross reference users by Social Security Number or other identifier. In other words, a single applicant with multiple email addresses could potentially apply and receive benefits as the users are tied to email address not email address and SSN.

  • Positive Impact: allowed us to move to a more virtual office, just in time for COVID's forcing all to work from home/remotely.
  • Negative Impact: made it much harder to capture all data we need to merge with all applicants since organization created.
