Considered Both Products
Pointerpro
Chose Pointerpro
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. …
Chose Pointerpro
Unable to remember names, but other competitors were very highly-priced.
Chose Pointerpro
Monthly fees as opposed to annual. As a returning user to Survey Monkey, they wouldn't allow me to have a month-to-month contract.
Chose Pointerpro
Survey Anyplace allows respondents to save progress, offered a respectable UI (User Interface), and offered surveys with a modern design. It seems most survey tools are designed for short/quick responses. The really modern, intuitive and design aesthetic options aren't designed …
Chose Pointerpro
I looked at a few options through Google searches but none of the solutions could cater to my quiz's logic and formula needs.
Chose Pointerpro
Survey Anyplace is much more customizable and flexible than any alternatives I have tried.
Chose Pointerpro
Survey Anyplace is an excellent piece of software.

Chose Pointerpro
Survey Anyplace was the only tool that could handle the survey, email campaigns, and ecommerce. No other tool that we found could compare.
Chose Pointerpro
This is not a tool we use for our heavy-duty market research studies - rather, it complements our existing research tools.
Chose Pointerpro
Survey Anyplace has incredible customization and with is ReportR feature... hands down the most powerful app out there.
Chose Pointerpro
Not as intuitive as Typeform but has a bit more flexibility and significantly more custom scoring options.
Chose Pointerpro
Outgrow's pricing was simply not competitive -- to my memory, it was about 6x per month what SurveyAnyplace charges for their Enterprise plan, which felt extravagant considering our scope. Their sales team was also rather difficult to work with.
Chose Pointerpro
Survey AnyPlace has a lot more flexibility and types of questions, plus the ability to customize the branding/look/feel.
Chose Pointerpro
We conducted a market survey of available tools that met our requirements.
SurveyMonkey
Chose SurveyMonkey
I think we were looking for a survey products, so when I think about survey products; SurveyMonkey is the only solution
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.
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.
Chose SurveyMonkey
As [I] mentioned in the previous comments, [I believe] there is no comparison. [In my opinion,] SurveyMonkey is a market lagger.
Chose SurveyMonkey
The tool is free, but we selected SurveyMonkey because we were able to easily pull the data and do the analysis.
Chose SurveyMonkey
I have only used this software and have not used others.
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 …
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 …
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.
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
Chose SurveyMonkey
SurveyMonkey has more professional features, templates and theme options than Google Surveys
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 …
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 …
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 …
Chose SurveyMonkey
We really didn't look at alternatives. The only alternatives we looked at was developing our own surveys, via email and/or baking them directly into our applications, but SurveyMonkey really did all the heavy lifting, so to speak, by providing a one-stop shop for constructing, …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

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.

Pros
  • 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.

  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.
Read full review
  • 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.

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.

Usability
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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Return on 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.

  • 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.
