Read full review Pros 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.

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.

Read full review Alternatives Considered I liked the interface for SurveyGizmo much more than
Qualtrics . You knew a question was adjusted in SurveyGizmo and wouldn't change, but with Qualtric's interface, you had to refresh the account several times sometimes to ensure the question would work appropriately. Also, with SG, there were a lot of easier capabilities, such as changing missing values in bulk, required questions in bulk, etc.

Google Forms have similar features for surveys but they lack the form options and user interface. They are also not HIPPA compliant so we are not able to collect any identifying information which is usually an issue in research when we are tracking participants. Many institutional review boards won't even approve a study without a HIPPA compliant data collection service.

It has helped us to optimize resources especially man hours involved in survey design. It has been a valuable partner in almost all [of] our uses.

We moved our whole filing system to an electronic version when we became "live" on REDCap. It is also very convenient and accessible to have all of this data in one location. A very positive impact is the ability for multiple users to see the same health and wellness information for each specific patient. Instead of constantly having to go back and forth via email, phone, etc. to ask about the patient; we could simply look up their information in REDCap and find all of the answers. It made our business much more efficient and made the patients feel as though we did our research prior to meeting with them. Read full review ScreenShots
