MaritzCX vs. TINYpulse

I think MaritzCX was a great option for internal and external surveys. I used it for feedback from clients who attended events. It gave me a clean report to show executive leadership about anything from venue, parking, food, and entertainment. It worked for event registration to save money using only one software. I used it for clients to sign up for events. Less of a clean report but works.

Well-suited for companies looking to get better feedback from employees. It's probably perfect for my organization (around 80 employees) because our COO can respond directly to our concerns. It might be less effective for larger organizations, but I can't speak much to that.

• Easy to use format (not HTML coding knowledge required)
• Detailed reports
• Ability to save and re-use same themes and surveys

• TINYpulse provides a nice, prepackaged survey platform with a library of suggested questions to use and hard-coded timelines and processes... so it is truly a "plug and play" tool.
• The platform produces some graphics and other methodology for assisting HR in delivering survey results to the rest of the executive team and/or to share with employees.
• TINYpulse does a DYNAMIC job in selling the message that the employee's responses are anonymous. Not sure if it is a generational issue or the result of younger generations watching a parent go thru a RIF or other job elimination, but the notion of radically-candid feedback is not one which I've found to be present with many Millennials (here or in past organizations), so this is a big selling point for TINYpulse.
• The TINYpulse platform offers a "Cheers for Peers" program, allowing the company to promote another form of peer-to-peer recognition which can even be linked to Slack (or nearly any business-based instant messaging system) to create a constant feed for all to see those receiving recognition for going above-and-beyond.

• Ability to customize look of survey limited
• Some reports in CSV were a mess to fix up
• Support seemed limited

Incentivized

• TINYpulse sometimes makes updates to their app and website, and when navigating as an admin, I have found some of the links to be broken after an update.
• The pricing structure of TINYpulse has changed since we first began using it, changing from a pay per user amount to a bulk-buy amount. This led to some confusion when we went to add more users.

Self explanatory and easy to use. Email notifications help to remind users what they have to do. Very simple and straightforward user interface.

MaritzCX was actually to only survey software I have used. No comparison to describe in this section

TINYpulse provided the most-competitive pricing of all vendors considered, with the greatest flexibility of use with desktop, mobile app, and operating system. While customer support proposed by others appeared to be closer to "live" or real-time, with closer to the 24/7 kind of environment in which we live/work in today, budget was a driving factor for us.

Easy to deploy, create and add accounts.

• Saved our department from needing to purchase additional event software
• I was not responsible for actual purchase of MaritzCX

Incentivized

• It's an easy way to get feedback and suggestions. I think it contributes to the team culture of wanting to always question and improve.
• It's an easy way to build rapport among teammates and I think contributes to overall sense of team building (especially for a dispersed team).
• It's an easy way to keep your finger on the overall pulse of the team and allows management to be able to quickly address any frustrations or issues before they become bigger concerns.
