AskNicely vs. Satmetrix (discontinued)

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.

Satmetrix is best suited if you don't currently use Salesforce. A lot of its main selling points are negated by the virtue of having Salesforce. Case management is in Salesforce, reporting is in Salesforce, the structure that NPX imposes is actually clunky and unwieldy, and is much more streamlined on competing platforms such as GetFeedback and SurveyMonkey. The only thing that leaves is the consultative service on being best practice and I don't really get to see any of that.

Incentivized

• NPS Surveys - Easy to access and use and branded for our company.
• Analytics - AskNicely provides simple and robust analytics for identifying trends in data.
• Workflows - AskNicely uniquely provides automated workflows in response to NPS results. This means teams like customer success and marketing can spend less time reacting and researching and more time working to create programs that drive more business and improve our customer experience.

Incentivized

• Ease of use; SaaS solution, all web based - simple, straightforward and easy to use
• Multi lingual; we are able to use multiple languages for our surveys
• Reporting is very flexible; reports can be run for pretty much any data point that you can capture!

• 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

Incentivized

• Implementation did not go as well as planned and there were problems.
• If you are running multiple surveys, slicing and dicing data is not that simple.

The previous experience was so negative that even if they have improved since then it wouldn't help. Another more pertinent reason is because we have an existing 3 year contract with Medallia. Lastly, vendor transitions in our environment (B2B in 132 countries) is extremely painful. I've managed two of them and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

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 on each application. It is at least a very competitive match up, and I would hesitate to besmirch one tool over the other. SurveyMonkey users would benefit from giving AskNicely a once-over, though.

I haven't evaluated any other products. Our executive team selected NPS as the preferred measurement of customer sentiment and Satmetrix is the only certification company I am aware of.

• Ask Nicely is just for internal use and we don't monitor it in relevance to GMV
• Ask Nicely is a good way to provide quantifiable goals in customer service which is often qualitative
• Ask Nicely is a great way to follow up with all customers who have not had a good experience

Incentivized

• With the knowledge gained front he transactional surveys, Satmetrix helped us significantly improve our customer service processes.
• Combined with the relationship survey, we were ultimately able to improve our customer retention by over 20% within 2 years.
