FluidSurveys (Discontinued) vs. Inbenta Chatbots

For surveys, and for centralized info-gathering, FluidSurveys provides an excellent solution. There are other programs out there which provide a wider range of solutions (i.e., they can be used for surveying AND comprehensive online engagement, rather than just a data-gathering type of consultation); however, for programming and implementing surveys, FluidSurveys has an effective variety of strengths and options that make it optimal for users who are focused specifically on surveys.

In my case, being that I serve a very niche customer base and have had an excellent result with this tool, I would widely tell anyone within my industry and niche to go for it! I can't speak for larger applications but based on my experience with them; I would be confident to recommend it.

• User-friendly. For the majority of the general and basic tools you can use with FluidSurveys to build surveys are simple to use and intuitive. When certain issues come up, the service is quick (chat room) and effective.
• Anonymity: the software has the reputation of being safer in terms of safeguarding private information the respondents share by answering surveys (this is mainly due to the fact that the servers are in Canada). Thus, indirectly, they increase response rates.
• Extensive possibilities: FluidSurveys offers a plethora of possibilities and options that really renders the experience interesting in terms of micro-managing each details of the surveys you are sending out there. When the invitation leaves by email, it is exactly how you want it.

• Integrate the voice into the customer experience.
• A real, relatable and up to par spanish translation.
• An amazing customer service structure.

• There should be more flexibility and customizability with regard to survey design (e.g. background, fonts...)

• I have not come across an issue that tech support is not willing/able to fix or teach a way around it.

Note: I am responding to this question as a user of the system and not a representative of my organization.

On a personal level/as a user only, I would definitely continue to use FluidSurveys.On a personal level/as a user only, I would definitely continue to use FluidSurveys.

I think the average person can very quickly pick up on the basics of the system: they would have no problems programming and launching a basic survey. Organizations may benefit from having people of different backgrounds getting their hands dirty in the system: at a minimum, both web programmers and opinion research advisors should be solicited for input or help.

Although I do not have much experience with Survey Monkey, the only two reasons why I choose FluidSurveys is that clients demand it (privacy and anonymity) and because managing multiple surveys at a time is easier. As for ODK Collect, I think it is a valuable alternative to FluidSurveys if you have time to learn the coding (not very complicated). ODK is a little less user friendly and you cannot address small details as you can with FluidSurveys (e.g.: formatting).

The program I have been using so far is not actually listed on this platform, it is called Marketing Master IO; while AMAZING, I have found that while in the early stages of development, there is a lack of some features and the Alexa advantage has taken all-important at this point, we have that more and more of our target clientele use Alexa and this gives us an edge.

• Confidentiality of data is a big concern for our company, and we feel more secure working with a Canadian company. Our clients feel more secure, too.

• We have been able to expedite the process of interaction and capturing details for orders using the chatbots.
