    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.

    I think Verkada is incredibly scalable, and could be used in a small business as well as a large business. They have 4-door controllers and 16-door controllers, and the licensing depends on how many doors you wish to utilize - so even if you have only two doors - you're not overpaying for a four-door controller, while still having the ability to expand in the future if need-be. We have rolled out their cameras and door access control across our entire district, and we love it!

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • 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.

    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).

    Keri Door Access Control (Doors.Net Services). It's like going from DSL to Fiber internet. We have so many more features available to us now, and we are able to divide up roles amongst administrators/front desk positions/security personnel so that the IT team doesn't have so many overhead requests to change time schedules, or pull footage when needed. I'm not a fan of recurring licensing contracts, but it seems that's the way the entire industry is going, so there's no way to escape that. Verkada's customer support is fantastic - as they have live chat, phone support and email support available 24/7. Very happy with their total product suite, and will continue using them moving forward. We have deployed door access, cameras, vape/smoke/environmental sensors, Guest visit services and doorbell/intercom systems. All is great, and integrates well within all of our buildings
