Google is a quick and easy to use survey analysis tool that allows you to send cheap or free surveys to an audience. In comparison to tools like Surveymonkey I would have more faith in the Google technology and robustness of sample.

The other survey systems are similar, but Google Surveys has a higher price point. I also find support to be lacking at times.

Honestly, in terms of scheduling, Google is about average. Obviously, this is not Google Survey's only purpose, but the poll functions are only similar to those used on websites. Some of the features are nearly identical and free (and some don't even require an account). As a …

I've used SurveyMonkey before, but if you do not have an account, you are limited with what you can do on there. Since we have the GoogleSuite and can use Google Surveys, it's a much better alternative, I can do so much more with it compared to SurveyMonkey.

It is certainly not as deep in data analytics, but it is much easier to use than the others. Free is also good.

I do appreciate the ease of use and connection Google Surveys has with other Google products - that's a huge plus. While I'm a fairly digitally-minded user, some of our users are not, so that becomes a challenge if you want them to see the Data Studio reports or be able to print something for them. But if you're completely digital, gaining insight from the reports is very valuable. We've mostly used Google Surveys to generate answers to questions we have on how things are running or to collect information from our users/members/students on how they "feel" about particular topics, situations, or their work, in general. For that, it's been a breeze. But we're finding for more specific surveys that may have decision trees associated with the answers (if they answer "this" then send them to "that") we work more with Qualtrics. But you can't beat the price of Google Surveys when you can begin one for $50.

Cons

  • Background design, I think it would be better if we could personalize the background design.
  • I haven't encountered attaching video clips on it. I think it's great if we can attach video clips or voice clips since image can be attached.
  • Cute fonts will do.

Usability

Relatively simple so that those who are less than familiar with computers can figure it out. User friendly and already embedded with other Google products. Receives an 8 because many features available with Google Surveys are also available with similar, free products on the internet today. Good, but not stellar.

Google Surveys has a world-class support team. If you have any questions you can reach out to support and gain additional insight on how the product can meet your needs. As part of Google, the support team is very reliable. Our team has not had any issues reaching support and having a quick resolution turnaround.
