Apptentive, now part of Alchemer vs. Zoho Survey

Apptentive is well suited for getting more feedback from mobile app users. It has all the tools to ask the right questions at the right time. It's less appropriate for simply an app metrics solution. While it provides metrics other mobile platforms would be better at compiling the correct metrics needed for insights.

Zoho Survey is everything you need in a survey platform. If you already have the Zoho One suite, it makes a complete replacement for Survey Monkey. I don't think anyone would need this app on a standalone basis, however, mainly because Zoho has a full suite of other apps you should be using on top of Survey.

• Push notifications for app store reviews.
• Targeted interactions based on in-app events.

• Zoho Survey comes with a simple UI and the builder offers many different question types. Its strength may be in simpler or more basic surveys, but it is definitely intuitive enough to design a very in-depth survey. Publishing surveys is again a straightforward process and is easy to do.
• The piping and logic features provide a better user experience for survey respondents, and are easy to configure within Zoho Survey. New features are always being added to Survey and the resources pages offer great detailed info on how to use the features of Zoho Survey.
• The integration with other Zoho apps (Zoho CRM, Zoho Analytics, etc.) is a real strength. Zoho has ingeniously created an entire "operating system" for business that integrates all their apps so perfectly. For example, if you send a project survey to a contact you can view their response contextually within the CRM system. So basically, project managers can stay in the CRM and see all Zoho Survey responses from their customers.
• Survey scoring is a great feature as well!

• Apptentive's metrics aren't as customizable as we would like but what it does measure it does a good job at.
• Managing multiple apps (iOS and Android) can make for extra work because you're duplicating work on Notes and Events.
• Finding the right way to interact can take multiple tests, surfacing best practices across the industry would be a help.

• I honestly can't think of anything wrong with it (on our end). It does what it needs, and I've never had any issues retrieving surveys received.

Zoho Survey is really easy to use. We've used Doodle and Survey Monkey in the past, and Zoho Social is just as easy, if not easier to use.

Zoho's support is always quick to respond and troubleshoot any issues

We thought about Firebase, but we ultimately selected Apptentive because it is brand-agnostic. Using a Google app for an iOS application could have proved disastrous if the support for iOS had been lost down the line.

We went with Zoho Survey largely because we use other Zoho products. I did try SurveyMonkey and actually found it a little overwhelming in terms of how much customization you could do with it. Once back with Zoho Survey, having used other Zoho products, I was more comfortable with the way it worked (although Zoho's UI does have its quirks to get used to). Recommended for Zoho Users especially.
