Google Surveys vs. SurveyLab

Google Surveys is perfect when trying to collaborate with co-workers and find a date & time that works best for them to get together, whether it's for a regular meeting, team photo session, celebratory dinner, or Christmas celebration. It's also great for getting feedback on proposed changes that would affect the team.

MySurveyLab is best to use to measure satisfaction, both employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction.

• Measure the pulse of how our members are feeling (yes/no questions, multiple-choice questions).
• Learn how students are doing with specific projects (textual-based questions, essay-type answers).
• Run an election for board members (use of the "other" notation so that people can write in their own choices).

• They have great support that always will help you.
• MySurveyLab is very flexible. Some things can be done in several ways.
• They have a very good analytics module with trends, dashboards and data segments. This can give you another view of your data.
• Collectors add flexibility to surveys. You can collect surveys from a few different source at once
• They have a mobile application that can collect responses offline(!)

• While it is very intuitive, there are many ways you can fine-tune your survey (such as word limits, counts, etc) and these are not always obvious where those settings are.
• I would like to see some ways of changing the formatting (and maybe I just haven't explored that yet), ie: colors, set up on the screen.

• Summary export in Excel could be nicer.
• Tags in the left menu could be more intuitive.

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.

This is by far the only area where I think that there is room for improvement because Google does not respond as fast as I would like them to. We live in a fast-paced world and this is probably the only area where Google can improve on and as a teacher, I find it challenging to wait for a day or two for a response when everything that I am doing in the Google Classroom is running instantly and with no breaks in between.

I selected Google Surveys to create them because it was free and helped to improve our overall information and data. It was easy to build it into our systems and get the data. Other survey providers have offered a larger variety of options, which have helped even more - but the higher costs were not worth the extra money.

• Team members are more apt to respond quickly to a Google Survey request rather than a normal email - makes my job as an admin easier.
• Easy to check on who hasn't responded - that way I only have to one-on-one follow up with select individuals instead of everyone.
• You can customize the survey to your team's specific brand, which is especially handy if sent to those outside of our work sphere.

• With MySurveyLab we were able to react immediately when customers were not happy, and this reduced churn a lot
