SurveyMonkey vs. SurveySparrow

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.

From our experience, most people that fill out our surveys will do so from a mobile device. Survey Sparrow is perfect for a mobile audience and greatly improves response rates with its chat-style survey format. It is a great option for businesses that want a simple and reliable way to get feedback from their customers and website visitors and don't need extensive customization options. I would highly recommend Survey Sparrow if you want a no-fuss, easy to use survey software that just works. It is also suited for businesses that want the reassurance that they can speak to customer support when needed.

• 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.

• Creates customized questions
• Multiple options for answering survey
• You can add your company's logo so that the survey seems more authentic

• 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.

• There are limits as far as features and design options, and it would be nice to have more customization options.
• The reporting and analyzing of survey data needs improvement. Exported reports do not show answers to custom text answers, and you can only read them online.
• Needs more template options for specific use cases.

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.

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.

User-friendly data is easy to analyze with simple tools. The customer service team is also very helpful, easy to create the survey in less than 5 minutes, engage with your clients on all possible platforms.

still to many limitations for more complex surveys --skips, filtered questions, etc.

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

The support team is just a call away and also provides email support.

Implementation not required.

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.

• 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.
