Insocial - Feedback Solutions vs. SurveyMonkey

We are an international organization that operates in multiple geographies and for us the solution works quite well. Insocial - Feedback Solutions itself is still a relatively small organization, but that has actually not been an issue at all. They're very flexible and helpful as a supplier. There was a close cultural fit between our 2 organizations, which made it into a success. If you are looking for a solution and partner to capture recurring customer sentiment and measure things like NPS, NLS, CSAT, CES and open feedback by using short and concise surveys that also drill down on those scores Insocial - Feedback Solutions can be a great fit.

SurveyMonkey is well suited for external, professional, client-facing forms and complex question types. I've tried generating forms on HubSpot, and it's not nearly as intuitive or clean-looking, and not all question types are supported (e.g. Likert scales). For quick, internal forms that don't need to be as pretty or professional, I find that Google Forms is the quickest and easiest to pull together, especially since it has a single, universal respondent link. If I wanted to embed a link in a mass email, SurveyMonkey doesn't allow multiple respondents to use the same link on my plan.

• Keeps identifiable information anonymous.
• Being able to close the survey at a set time without having to remember to do so.
• Takes the guess work out of response collecting.
• Makes it easy to categorize responses within the same survey. Being able to add tags to open-ended questions makes it easy for us to identify patterns in responses.
• An array of survey options and questions.
• An all around great product that meets multiple needs.
• Can have multiple collectors for the same survey to included manual input.

• Survey creation could be easier, although as a customer I did not really feel this pain as our CSM [...] fully unburdoned us
• I had some comments about the closed loop feedback process and email notification look&feel, however they've already addressed this feedback in the last year with product updates.

• I would like to have more customizable options for branding it to our hospital colors. Some survey options allow you to enter html color codes. SurveyMonkey allows you to change colors and you have to pick from selected options.
• Embedding the surveys into a webpage, like WordPress is not as seamless as other services.

Compared to other competitors in the market (including a few I've used internally), if you're looking for a survey application, this one does the job and it's quite inexpensive too. Considering the fact that it comes with a handy mobile application too (on iOS and Android), you also get flexibility thrown in the deal too.

In general it is a very intuitive platform that does not require much training to start working with. Especially for reporting users that are focussed on the results and insights. The CSM team and support department are also very helpful in case you do run into any questions.

It does everything a survey software should do, and it does it very well. I can't speak for how well it would work for a business that was surveying tens of thousands of people - but for a small business of 50 employees with a couple of thousand clients, it does everything it needs to do.

still to many limitations for more complex surveys --skips, filtered questions, etc.

I've never had to contact the SurveyMonkey customer care team directly, but they have a pretty good library of help articles on their website. Everything from designing and executing your survey to account and billing questions. I never had a need for further support from Survey Monkey.

Implementation not required.

There are multiple solutions that offer similar things. In the end the cutural fit with the vendor made the difference. As a foundation for future collaboration this felt as the best choice and it has proven to be a great choice since. Developments in the product have proven to be fast and based on our feedback, which makes for a great partnership and experience.

SurveyMonkey is easier to customize and provides much more in depth analytics. SurveyMonkey also provides better templates providing us with a better presentation to our employees. SurveyMonkey also comes with a more trustworthy platform that ensures confidentiality, which is incredibly important to our employees and means we're getting more reliable results from the surveys.

• The speed at which we can develop, program, execute and generate actual usable results provides significant value, particularly when we need fresh numbers to illustrate a point.
• The fact that we can execute a research project so quickly means that new research is always a primary option when we're developing campaigns. That's a huge value proposition.
