Alchemer, formerly SurveyGizmo vs Google Forms

• Attaching images! Survey Gizmo makes attaching images from surveys a breeze. I've tried other popular survey tools and it can be difficult for users to submit images as part of their survey (e.g. some only allow 1 picture per question, whereas Survey Gizmo allows a range for you to select from)
• Easy and intuitive survey building.
• Pretty good out-of-the-box survey analysis.

• Create a survey with lots of different kinds of questions from short answers, radio boxes, multiple-choice, long answers check-boxes, drop-down menus.
• You can distribute these surveys to anyone.
• Analyze the data in the Google Forms app itself or in a spreadsheet.

• Duplicate protection needs improvement. Anyone who would like to start a survey and finish at a later time is unable to which limits total survey responses.
• Password protection option can be a challenge when uploading spreadsheets with pre-populated data.
• Logic and piping options for questions can be difficult when designing more complicated and in-depth surveys, which requires a lot of testing.
• Follow-up surveys do not provide an option for survey takers to review their previous survey responses, which may provide less accurate data when comparing individuals across multiple surveys.
• Would like the option to link surveys together in order to more easily track data from individuals across multiple surveys and save previous survey data.

• I think that there should be a way to add a name block in Google forms and have it not counted as a question
• I think it would be great if we could see the question numbers when creating exams and test
• Allow for easier sharing results of quizzes and test directly with colleagues

• SG has allowed us to provide a real-time and convenient tool for our partners to send data to us.
• SG has a lot of powerful features that, to us, are more than a survey tool. We found it helpful in many scenarios, providing interesting quizzes, screening job applicants or screening if people are eligible for our programs. It actually provides some automation in those processes.
• You can use the URL variable to track our outreach results and help determine which outreach method works better so we can make adjustment accordingly.

• We use Google Forms a lot for keeping our company culture and making sure that everyone feels appreciated. We use it on a weekly basis and share people's responses on a weekly basis as well. This has been able to allow our company to keep our culture, even though our remote work due to the pandemic.
