Considered Both Products
PG Forsta HX Platform
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Forsta has a strong product functionality and performance. Integration capabilities are fantastic and it has strong customer focus. Pre-existing relationships also helped in cracking this deal. People at Forsta are helpful and customer centric. Although cost is not highly …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Delighted by Qualtrics, InMoment Experience Intelligence (XI) Platform and SurveyMonkey
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I think that Forsta is the right platform for companies that have professional data collection needs and not an unlimited budget. In addition, the managed services that Forsta provides seems superior to the other platforms. Customer service is lean but if you are using basic …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Simply put, Confirmit was able to handle the requests our clients gave us. Some clients are fine with a very basic survey tool, but others want to control the look and feel down to a 'T', and Confirmit was one of the only programs that could accommodate the range of requests we …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
No experience using a similar reporting tool.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
SurveyMonkey, which does not compare at all.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
While I was not responsible for the decision to utilize Confirmit I am certainly glad to be using it instead of Dimensions. The interface, coding language, and flexibility of Confirmit are all superior to Dimensions in my opinion. I only programmed average complexity surveys in …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Survey Monkey doesn't hold a candle to it. Qualtrics has some amazing exporting and reporting tools but it's much harder to implement more complicated surveys, I still prefer Confirmit. Though, if you could integrate reporting tools similar to Qualtrics you'd be ahead of the …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I'm not familiar with the competition really.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
ConfirmIt blows these away.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Quanvert, SPSS Custom Tables, Q, WinCross, Microtab, and many others. I am actually in the process of looking for a replacement for Reports for Surveys. While it still remains the best that I have used, I need something that is more cost effective at this time.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I've only ever used one other in-house proprietary software tool for survey programming. ConfirmIT is able to match the needs of our programs which is what we are looking for.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Confirmit is simply far more versatile and intuitive for me. Plus it gives you so much more power due to, as I described before, the ability to embed jQuery/JavaScript.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Well Confirmit was a company decision that I as an employee have to use, which I really do not mind and love using.
It is actually funny how some time ago I was volunteering for one online youth organization and we were also doing online survey, however since it was outside of …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Confirmit provides more flexibility and a better system to manage the data. It allows handling the database and merging with our internal systems very easily, while other products can't support such functionality.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Survey Craft - confirmit is more powerful!
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Qualtrix -- this program is more limited on the data management side of things but the user interface is much easier to use. Anyone could program a survey with this program.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Not applicable.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I've really only programmed in a proprietary platform and Confirmit.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I have not used any competing products, but I would highly recommend Confirmit from an administrator's viewpoint. It is a solid product and is easy to maintain.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
IBM SPSS, when I used couple of years back, was robust tool as well. However Confirmit is certainly easier to use as compared to IBM SPSS. IBM SPSS at that point didn't have any online reporting platform which was one of the positive points with Confirmit when we selected it …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Confirmit is the best overall functionality-wise. The other systems require custom scripting to do a lot of the things Confirmit does natively. Unfortunately, for my company, the cost of Confirmit was not worth the native functionality. All of these other systems are …
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.

Likelihood to Recommend
There are several new enhancements and features being added to the product on a regular basis, whether its new reporting tools, survey question types or something else, the products are always improving. They are also proactive when it comes to communicating issues, platform changes, downtimes (rare) which I have not seen from other vendors too often. Aside from the product which just works, the support team has to be one of their best assets in my opinion. Their support team know the product inside and out and can provide some creative solutions to achieve your goals. They are always available and offer 24x7 services for free which in many other companies is only available as an add-on cost for premium support.

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
  • This is one of the few survey programs that let's you do almost anything you can imagine - complex logic, showcasing concept designs/videos, cluster analysis are a few of the uses we got out of this program.
  • Comprehensive data analysis and reporting options allowed us to fill just about any client request.
  • Good tech support - never had an issue there.

  • 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
  • The ability to repeat the same data export with the options you selected the first time would be good. There are a lot of options available for data exports and it can be challenging to remember exactly which options you picked should you want to put out the same options as a previous export.
  • Continue to improve functionality and speed. You are already the leader in my book. Don't fall behind. :)
  • Create more "Ready to use" questions like the Carousel for grid questions.
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

From my point of view Confirmit has been a key tool in our organization. Without it we can't deliver what we do at this moment. Confirmit has proved that is a reliable, stable and easy to use tool. The few issues we found (as far as I know) were sent to Confirmit support team and fix them. Patching the product has been done faster and without large downtime of the product

Usability
Confirmit is a very technical tool, it takes time for someone to get used to the interface, even when it could definitely be more intuitive or user friendly, this is part of Confirmit's strenghts that makes it one of the most robust data collection technologies out there.
Read full review
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.

The support team is responsive and I can tell that they are actually trying to help get to the heart of the issues before making us try every possible solution available. They ask the right questions and test things before coming back to us with proposals. I like the support team at Confirmit.

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!

While I was not responsible for the decision to utilize Confirmit I am certainly glad to be using it instead of Dimensions. The interface, coding language, and flexibility of Confirmit are all superior to Dimensions in my opinion. I only programmed average complexity surveys in Dimensions so it is possible that there is some feature or flexibility that I did not get to experience but from my use, Confirmit definitely comes out on top.

  • 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.
