    Cognito Forms
    It's excellent for small sets of forms, from simple to highly complex It's not good at scale. With over 170 forms now, we desperately need some way to manage and maintain shared content once Cognito does not help. Their approach is that you can copy a working form (great) and modify it to create the next one. That's how we've got so many forms...

    It makes it easy to move from design to development. We collect highly targeted feedback without organizing a meeting to discuss every iteration, saving time and effort. The comments are open-ended and unorganized. But with survey Nudges, we can ask additional questions about design UI/UX.

    Pros
    Cognito Forms
    • New Hire Form - It announces the new hire and provides direction to several departments on their needs, computer, phone, security level, etc.
    • Terminations - We use it to shut off security, badges, computers, track phone, electronics, etc.
    • Temp Form - It provides an avenue to enter them into our payroll system for tracking hours, also, for the start and end dates.

    • Qualaroo’s question engine connects fragmented data points spread across all the customer feedback gathered from varied sources.
    • Qualaroo allows us to connect with our customers’ questions directly so that we can focus on the most important ones on priority.
    • The insights we get from Qualaroo surveys help us prioritize which hypotheses to formally run as an experiment first, and which to implement straight away.

    Cons

    • It isnt the most user friendly if you have someone who isnt experienced
    • Learning curve is pretty high
    • Should be easier to customise the formatting

    • I wish the dashboard was a little more interactive so that you can do some deeper analysis - things like filtering out people who answered a certain way
    • I wish the building of the survey "nudge" was easier and more visual - it's a bit clunky and hard to reorder questions.
    • I wish there was a way to add more logic into questions, as you have to duplicate questions to get around this which can make the building process difficult

    The micro-survey landscape is evolving very quickly and it seems like there is a new entrant almost every month. I'm generally happy with Qualaroo (we got what we expected) and I like the folks on the Qualaroo team (support is fast and friendly and rarely needed), but there haven't been real improvements to the platform in the last eight months. We will be re-assessing Qualaroo's features and price versus other competitors when our current contract is up.

    We know the value of consumer feedback and believe that users actually want to be a part of the process. With Qualaroo, we have learnt that people like answering certain types of questions, especially if you ask them something about themselves — like what they want most and their motivations behind purchases — they can’t resist typing a response.

    Qualaroo
    Our developers complain that Qualaroo is just one of several similar site add-ons that slow down our site performance. I'm skeptical that Qualaroo has any measurable impact on our page load times, but don't have any hard evidence either way. The Qualaroo admin interface and reporting mechanisms are all quick and reliable.

    Very friendly and helpful, but typically takes at least one day to respond. However, when they do respond they dive right into the specific form I ask about and tell me exactly how to fix what I need help with

    I have only contacted customer support twice, and they have managed to solve my problem every time. There is a slight waiting time between the query and resolution, but other than that I don’t need to contact them time and again to understand things since their help section is sufficient most of the time.

    Have your technical team set up the "Identify" feature right out of the gate - this is a "fire and forget" feature. Once it's set up, your data is much more valuable. Also, if there are very specific kinds of page targeting you might imagine doing, have a technical person set up and test at least 2-3 examples of using Qualaroo's regular expression features to achieve this targeting. With a couple good examples in place to work from, it becomes much easier to create your own regular expressions for custom targeting.

    I have not used any other programs like Cognito Forms. I have been with my company for almost two years. I very much like the ease of this system and its capabilities. I like knowing everyone is using the same thing. I do not foresee us making any changes to our current use of Cognito Forms.

    Qualaroo makes it very easy to launch a quick survey based on templates or custom questions with an intuitive user interface. It is also very flexible and can be easily integrated with AB testing thanks to the advanced options. Reports are getting better but analytics wise it's still not up to the refinement level of SurveyMonkey but it does beat the latter in terms of UI experience. When compared to SurveyGizmo, the flexibility on surveys is what stands out and how easy it is to create different survey flows.

    Scalability
    Cognito Forms
    No answers on this topic
    Qualaroo
    Qualaroo's simplicity has its down sides when it comes to scaling. Managing multiple nudges across multiple domains, at least in the Pro edition, is challenging. The active nudges all appear as a single list on the admin home page, automatically grouped by domains. Archived nudges are on a separate tab. It would be helpful to have a folder system to organize nudges. Also, once you have multiple active nudges that are targeted to different sections of your site using regular expressions, it's difficult to keep track of what is appearing where. It's also difficult, if not impossible, to figure out where you may have competing nudges. And there's no ability to assign reporting or configuration access to other members of your team. The Pro edition has a single login, which must be shared if you have multiple staff who want to use Qualaroo.

    Return on Investment
    Cognito Forms
    • We've been able to get away from Word and pdf forms and build a functionality that is conditional on form content
    • The speed of getting a good-enough version up and running to meet an immediate business need is outstanding
    • The cost of improving a set of almost good-enough forms or propagating a change in business rules is depressing

    • Qualaroo has proven to be extremely useful when it comes to improving conversions.
    • We deployed Qualaroo on our website to survey visitors and uncover their pain points about our landing page.
    • Using the feedback, we made several critical changes to our page, including the visibility of the CTA button, information on the page, and the quality of pictures. Since the implementation, there has been a significant increase in conversions, and our visitors have been getting a lot more value from the landing page.
