ContactMonkey vs. Quantum Workplace Engagement Surveys and Pulses

If you are a sales rep and want to know if your email has been opened without having to use receipts this is perfect. However, many people find this intrusive and inappropriate. I don't believe in this day and age there should be a moral outrage to track your emails but it happens. I particularly like it for Outlook 2016. I've tried Yesaware but found this better suited.

This is well suited to give you a guideline of where your company is at and areas that can improve upon. This was our first year so I believe when we continue to use this it will show areas that we can still improve upon and areas that we have improved upon

• Uploads information from business cards to your current contact database through your camera phone
• Great resource for looking up people before meetings and doing other types of background research

• Quantum reporting was really easy to read and great for presenting to upper management.

• I mentioned this to them after our last survey. The first year we did the survey the Quantum Workplace site provided us with detailed information on creating improvement plans, questions for employee focus groups and best practice information. While the site still provides information on creating an action plan, they removed the other information and haven't offered any new tips in the past two years. I would like to see them bring this back and update it each year so it is fresh and provides usable action items.

The survey is very easy to use. Our Team Members were able to take the survey via their cell phones and had little to no trouble completing them in a reasonable period of time. Our folks in the office with computer access were all surprised at how easy and smooth the process to provide feedback went and how quickly they were able to work through each question.

The professionals at Quantum really take the time to understand you and your organization and I think this goes a long way in rolling the product out with little to no issues. Their Customer Service Team does an outstanding job of being available or getting back to you in a very short period of time. I do not recall EVER being frustrated because I had to wait to get a question answered or could not get a question answered within a reasonable period of time.

It is really easy to integrate with GMail, so just start from there

Very easy system to use. I also like how you can customize your survey to work on certain areas you feel are important at the time. They also provide you with a list of questions you can select from as well as implement any custom questions you feel would be beneficial

Contact Monkey was the best solution for Outlook 2016. While Yesaware is a good product with Microsoft 365 integration, I found it expensive and too feature rich for what I needed. If you are just trying to find something simple that does what you need well and cheap, this is the best solution on the market. It does have Salesforce integration but I just use the Salesforce product that is free and provides the same or more prospect info.

We selected Quantum Workplace for three primary reasons:

• Greater database of survey responses from more organizations and employees (strong benchmark universe)
• Automated tools to create department level executive summary presentations
• Prior experience with Quantum via Best Places to Work survey

And, finally, the pricing was very competitive, although not necessarily the lowest.

• I've found companies that have shared my email and opened the email 20-60 times but never responded. It gave me an absolute understanding that this was a hot company
• Sometimes knowing your email is being opened can be very frustrating if you cannot get a response. However, at least you know it was read and they are not interested.
• My boss and fellow employee's don't like the fact that I know where they are located. It's somewhat divisive in that sense.

Incentivized

• Much better turn-around on reporting which has led to us being able to begin follow-up steps with our employees MUCH quicker.
• Improved results analysis allowing managers to better target their efforts.
• Reporting that is consistent with our marketing brand standards so that it doesn't feel too "off the shelf".
