Considered Both Products
AskNicely
Chose AskNicely
We previously used a consulting company to survey a batch of customers which meant we had an influx of feedback to deal with and work through at one point in time rather than an on-going, steady stream of feedback.
Chose AskNicely
We tested a few tools before choosing AskNicely but it won because of:
  • pricing
  • customer support
Chose AskNicely
AskNicely does a great job of making NPS survey sending easy. You don't have to set up Salesforce email templates or workflows to schedule to sending. This has been really useful in terms of getting up and running quickly.
Chose AskNicely
I like AskNicely much better than Delighted because you can directly “close the loop” with customers. Delighted doesn’t allow you to do that. That’s a big problem.
Chose AskNicely
AskNicely has a Salesforce integration and goes a bit deeper than the others. However, if you're on a budget this gets pricier.

What you'll want to do is list out your Must Haves, Should Haves, and Could Haves to help you effectively decide what software you need. For us, it …
Chose AskNicely
My company signed on with AskNicely before I came on board, so I honestly can't speak to that
Chose AskNicely
On the back end & integrations, we found AskNicely was much further along than its competitors. We also found the UX on AskNicely was much better than promoter.io.
Chose AskNicely
3 of the 5 could not integrate with tools we use: Hubspot , Shopify, Slack. AskNicely and CustomerGauge integrates with these. AskNicely won against CustomerGauge because it can trigger feedback requests after specific events/timeframes, and trigger campaigns that target …
Chose AskNicely
When we evaluated Delighted we found a product that *almost* met our needs. They provide great surveys with solid analytics at an unbeatable price point that includes all the integrations now matter what price you enter at. The thing that won us over to AskNicely was the …
Chose AskNicely
We are still evaluating SurveyMonkey against AskNicely, but initial results would seem to favor the latter. For ease-of-use, flexibility, and easily accessible analytics, AskNicely wins on all counts. Both have robust outreach engines, and there are limitations and pros/cons …
Evoq Content
Chose Evoq Content
Drupal is a highly expensive tool and is not offering anything extraordinary at a high price. If I keep its pricing in account then there should be some extraordinary features but unfortunately, there isn’t anything special about it; rather it was slow in its working. All these …
Chose Evoq Content
Evoq is a deeper and more flexible product than other CMS solutions we’ve used. When trying to match a client to the CMS they need, Evoq was always in the conversation.
Chose Evoq Content
In terms of value for money, Evoq Content is at the top.
Chose Evoq Content
DNN is an open source and is a primary choice for easy to use and use to build website for content management needs. DNN offers rich functionality utilizing core modules. Also, DNN offers an easy integration with third-party custom modules.
Chose Evoq Content
I have also used the Ektron CMS software platform before switching to DNN. It is a good product but it is much more costly than DNN and the product has a steeper learning curve and no where near the resources available like the community support and most importantly the …
Chose Evoq Content
DNN and WordPress share many similarities and can be used for the most part interchangeably when the goal is to create a simple hosted website. However, in other cases the requirements dictate a very clear choice. If your organization is invested in the Microsoft ecosystem in …
Chose Evoq Content
DNN is more cost effective, and has powerful backing of .NET platform.
Very much modular and skinning is relatively easy to do.
Chose Evoq Content
I have not used any other official .Net based CMS solutions other than DNN. I have used WordPress, which is a very good blogging application. But while they are making strides to be more of a CMS, I believe DNN is a better overall solution because of the ability to build custom …
Chose Evoq Content
A few products stack up against DNN like Wordpress, Drupal, SharePoint. Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla all are php based systems, while DNN, SharePoint were all .NET systems which is what I preferred. Comparing SharePoint to DNN, first would be the cost of SharePoint server along …

Likelihood to Recommend
AskNicely is well suited for surveying customers about how they are feeling about your product. This can be their overall feeling or after they have taken a certain action. E.g. used a particular feature. It's not designed for getting through customer feedback, rather gauging satisfaction. You will need to follow up with other survey methods for detailed feedback.

It is good for all sizes of firms from small to large. Everyone can use this tool to manage content and it has all the basic features needed. It is quite a flexible tool [which] is a positive point of this tool, and the mobile access is also amazing. What I don’t like about it is its tech support that should be made vigilant and there are not enough updates.

Pros
  • The workflows and level of automation to make managing an ongoing NPS programme easy are fantastic.
  • The AskNicely TV Dashboard is great for getting everyone in the office interested in customer feedback - it essentially brings the customer into the room for some people who don't have a lot of direct contact with customers.
  • The system is very easy to use and intuitive.

  • Evoq is very extensible. As long as you can program in ASP.NET, you can customize it for any solution you may need.
  • It has great user controls and granular permissions for users allowing you to control access not whole sections of the site, individual pages, or even parts of a page.
  • Some of the modules you can purchase allow you to derive far more value than what you pay.
Read full review
Cons
  • Integrations could always be another but they do a nice job getting Asknicely and CRM’s talking nicely to one another
  • I’d like to see more resources on how to take small businesses to the next level of CX execution using NPS and AskNicely
  • More, not fewer plan options
Read full review
  • Skin customization has room to be improved.
  • Mobile friendly platform, e.g.: make use of the Bootstrap as default skin
  • DNN is more into software developer. It will nice to have some tools for web designers.
  • Lacking of complete facilities for disabled people (see WCAG). In this case Sitecore is much more powerful.

Even though DNN is a good CMS, I have worked with other CMSs which are far more robust at this point, and would not be overly inclined to select DNN unless cost of the product is the most important factor along with staying on .NET. DNN is a whole package so unless the client has a requirement of including authentication, authorization for users, eCommerce, sticking to something simple is a better option.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Evoq proved to be a solid backbone for our property-management portal, handling ≈300 active rental listings without performance hiccups. The page-builder made it straightforward to craft listing templates that surface photo galleries, floor-plan PDFs, and embedded map pins, while role-based workflows let leasing agents edit unit details (price, availability, pet policy) without touching global site settings—a big win for operational control.

For the management side, the platform’s extensibility let us plug in a third-party rent-payment widget and an automated maintenance-ticket form with minimal custom code. Evoq’s built-in analytics have already highlighted which neighborhoods and bedroom counts drive the most traffic, guiding our marketing spend.

Two caveats:


Search & filter logic – Out-of-the-box search was too shallow for renters who expect Zillow-style filtering. We had to commission a custom module for filter chips (price range, amenities, walk score), which added time and cost.
Mobile image optimization – High-resolution gallery images affected load times on 4G; a CDN or Evoq’s Digital Asset Optimizer add-on is advisable.



Overall, Evoq delivers reliable content governance and enough flexibility to support both consumer-facing listings and back-office property-management workflows, provided you budget for advanced search customization and image delivery tuning.

When we evaluated Delighted we found a product that *almost* met our needs. They provide great surveys with solid analytics at an unbeatable price point that includes all the integrations now matter what price you enter at. The thing that won us over to AskNicely was the "workflow" features. The ability to automatically reach out to customers based on the survey result is extremely powerful and saves a lot of time for multiple teams. Delighted does not offer that feature. Pendo lost out because of price, they are focused solely on enterprise customers and were literally thousands of dollars more a month than AskNicely. Now, to be fair, Pendo offers a much broader feature set than AskNicely, but as a straight NPS provider, AskNicely fit the bill perfectly.

DNN and WordPress share many similarities and can be used for the most part interchangeably when the goal is to create a simple hosted website. However, in other cases the requirements dictate a very clear choice. If your organization is invested in the Microsoft ecosystem in terms of software and employee expertise then DNN is a superior choice. However if you will be relying on contractors for installation, development, and maintenance then WordPress' popularity means you will have more options.

Return on Investment
  • The first positive impact has been stressing the nearly urgent need for a NPS tracking system. Gathering the first few responses (both positive and negative) was eye-opening.
  • The second positive impact was being able to see a commonality among our detractors, which in turn enabled our management team to shift strategies on prioritizing resources and projects.
  • Lastly, this has filled a niche in customer satisfaction feedback that was not sustainable in the previous methods.
