EchoSpan 360-Degree Feedback Tool vs Voxco Survey Software

EchoSpan 360-Degree Feedback Tool

I can't imagine a scenario where it is less appropriate than any other 360 tool. It's easy to use, customizable, and inexpensive. Reports are easy to interpret. Great tool for anyone looking to implement a new 360.

Voxco Survey Software

It's made for surveys...just like Survey Monkey or SurveyGizmo and very similar to them as well. I just don't know about how the cost compares.

Has a simple and cleanly laid out website making function and projects easy to fine.
Reporting and analysis functions are easy to find and understand.
Has a nice feature in the reporting that automatically reorders response categories so they are always from max to min.

Cons

It took us a little while to figure out how to set up a 360 (we didn't watch the demo videos until later), but once we did, it was very easy to use.

On the same topic about the automatic reordering of responses from max to min, the downside is it does not allow me to leave the ordering in original format.

Alternatives Considered

Both EchoSpan and the other vendor supplied comparable products, so the major difference was the cost involved. EchoSpan is much more affordable and offers a very similar quality of report.

Very similar to SurveyMonkey and SurveyGizmo. They all have some minor differences and it makes you wish you could own all of them to get every function you would need.
