PG Forsta HX Platform
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Forsta has a strong product functionality and performance. Integration capabilities are fantastic and it has strong customer focus. Pre-existing relationships also helped in cracking this deal. People at Forsta are helpful and customer centric. Although cost is not highly …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Delighted by Qualtrics, InMoment Experience Intelligence (XI) Platform and SurveyMonkey
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I think that Forsta is the right platform for companies that have professional data collection needs and not an unlimited budget. In addition, the managed services that Forsta provides seems superior to the other platforms. Customer service is lean but if you are using basic …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Simply put, Confirmit was able to handle the requests our clients gave us. Some clients are fine with a very basic survey tool, but others want to control the look and feel down to a 'T', and Confirmit was one of the only programs that could accommodate the range of requests we …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
No experience using a similar reporting tool.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
SurveyMonkey, which does not compare at all.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
While I was not responsible for the decision to utilize Confirmit I am certainly glad to be using it instead of Dimensions. The interface, coding language, and flexibility of Confirmit are all superior to Dimensions in my opinion. I only programmed average complexity surveys in …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Survey Monkey doesn't hold a candle to it. Qualtrics has some amazing exporting and reporting tools but it's much harder to implement more complicated surveys, I still prefer Confirmit. Though, if you could integrate reporting tools similar to Qualtrics you'd be ahead of the …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I'm not familiar with the competition really.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
ConfirmIt blows these away.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Quanvert, SPSS Custom Tables, Q, WinCross, Microtab, and many others. I am actually in the process of looking for a replacement for Reports for Surveys. While it still remains the best that I have used, I need something that is more cost effective at this time.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I've only ever used one other in-house proprietary software tool for survey programming. ConfirmIT is able to match the needs of our programs which is what we are looking for.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Confirmit is simply far more versatile and intuitive for me. Plus it gives you so much more power due to, as I described before, the ability to embed jQuery/JavaScript.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Well Confirmit was a company decision that I as an employee have to use, which I really do not mind and love using.
It is actually funny how some time ago I was volunteering for one online youth organization and we were also doing online survey, however since it was outside of …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Confirmit provides more flexibility and a better system to manage the data. It allows handling the database and merging with our internal systems very easily, while other products can't support such functionality.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Survey Craft - confirmit is more powerful!
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Qualtrix -- this program is more limited on the data management side of things but the user interface is much easier to use. Anyone could program a survey with this program.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Not applicable.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I've really only programmed in a proprietary platform and Confirmit.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
I have not used any competing products, but I would highly recommend Confirmit from an administrator's viewpoint. It is a solid product and is easy to maintain.
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
IBM SPSS, when I used couple of years back, was robust tool as well. However Confirmit is certainly easier to use as compared to IBM SPSS. IBM SPSS at that point didn't have any online reporting platform which was one of the positive points with Confirmit when we selected it …
Chose PG Forsta HX Platform
Confirmit is the best overall functionality-wise. The other systems require custom scripting to do a lot of the things Confirmit does natively. Unfortunately, for my company, the cost of Confirmit was not worth the native functionality. All of these other systems are …
SnapSurveys
Chose SnapSurveys
It is an in between option. The options we evaluated were Qualtrics and SurveyGizmo. It's cheaper than Qualtrics and easier to design surveys than SurveyGizmo. Nonetheless it's not the worst option out there like SurveyMonkey.
Chose SnapSurveys
Since I have invested so much time in this program and have been using SNAP Surveys since around 1990, I honestly have not focused that much on other competing software programs. The little bit that I have seen is that some popular web-survey programs (like Survey Monkey) may …
Chose SnapSurveys
I choose to use SnapSurveys because of the many options the product itself provides. Other products do not offer the variety that SnapSurveys does. In everything from how you administer your survey, to the preloaded questions and languages you can administer your surveys.
Chose SnapSurveys
Survey Monkey is great but it's really on the "Quick and Dirty" side of things. Due to shortage of staff time and expertise, we go with Survey Monkey whenever possible. But you can't beat Snap for the more robust, complicated stuff.
We use Epi Info for some projects that are …
Chose SnapSurveys
I have used SurveyMonkey and Vovici. Both of these products were easier to learn and use than Snap, but they were also far less powerful.

User Testimonials
PG Forsta HX PlatformSnapSurveys
Likelihood to Recommend
There are several new enhancements and features being added to the product on a regular basis, whether its new reporting tools, survey question types or something else, the products are always improving. They are also proactive when it comes to communicating issues, platform changes, downtimes (rare) which I have not seen from other vendors too often. Aside from the product which just works, the support team has to be one of their best assets in my opinion. Their support team know the product inside and out and can provide some creative solutions to achieve your goals. They are always available and offer 24x7 services for free which in many other companies is only available as an add-on cost for premium support.

We would recommend this product to others and it really does fit the needs of the virtual world and still meets the needs of those that need to complete paper. It really is a happy middle place as it works either way. Again, the interface is user-friendly and the ability to do surveys offline is great.

Pros
  • This is one of the few survey programs that let's you do almost anything you can imagine - complex logic, showcasing concept designs/videos, cluster analysis are a few of the uses we got out of this program.
  • Comprehensive data analysis and reporting options allowed us to fill just about any client request.
  • Good tech support - never had an issue there.

  • Snap has wonderful vast functionality. I love showing off it's latest new features!
  • As well as online surveys, you can produce mobile, paper and kiosk versions with Snap.
  • You can run surveys in multiple languages (including double-byte such as Japanese and Chinese) and analyze all the results together.
  • Smart reporting is definitely worth checking out if you have multiple tailored reports to produce over time.
  • Their support people are extremely professional and knowledgeable.
  • Their worksheets (available on their website) are invaluable and very well written.
  • Their Research Department, staffed by guru users of the software, can provide additional resource for a fee.

Cons
  • The ability to repeat the same data export with the options you selected the first time would be good. There are a lot of options available for data exports and it can be challenging to remember exactly which options you picked should you want to put out the same options as a previous export.
  • Continue to improve functionality and speed. You are already the leader in my book. Don't fall behind. :)
  • Create more "Ready to use" questions like the Carousel for grid questions.
Read full review
  • Difficulty of use: Since the software has such sophistication, using all the features requires a very detailed understanding which takes a lot of time and effort.
  • Tiering of features: The licensing model is a bit unclear and not the easiest to understand.

From my point of view Confirmit has been a key tool in our organization. Without it we can't deliver what we do at this moment. Confirmit has proved that is a reliable, stable and easy to use tool. The few issues we found (as far as I know) were sent to Confirmit support team and fix them. Patching the product has been done faster and without large downtime of the product

Though there are many aspects of the product I enjoy and are very useful, it needs to be updated a bit. When using the software you can see that a lot of time was spent on the backend of things, such as the included questions. However, you can see that the way in which it is put together and how it looks did not receive as much attention. I really would enjoy something that is more aesthetically pleasing and not something that looks like it predates 1999

Usability
Confirmit is a very technical tool, it takes time for someone to get used to the interface, even when it could definitely be more intuitive or user friendly, this is part of Confirmit's strenghts that makes it one of the most robust data collection technologies out there.
Read full review
I think as an organization there is always room to grow, however, this application has really helped us with our dilemma with offline, online, and paper surveys. We are able to make our surveys fun and engaging and the interface for the person creating the survey is user-friendly. Customer service is very helpful if you need additional support.

Support Rating
The support team is responsive and I can tell that they are actually trying to help get to the heart of the issues before making us try every possible solution available. They ask the right questions and test things before coming back to us with proposals. I like the support team at Confirmit.

While I was not responsible for the decision to utilize Confirmit I am certainly glad to be using it instead of Dimensions. The interface, coding language, and flexibility of Confirmit are all superior to Dimensions in my opinion. I only programmed average complexity surveys in Dimensions so it is possible that there is some feature or flexibility that I did not get to experience but from my use, Confirmit definitely comes out on top.

Since I have invested so much time in this program and have been using SNAP Surveys since around 1990, I honestly have not focused that much on other competing software programs. The little bit that I have seen is that some popular web-survey programs (like Survey Monkey) may have nice looking front end features but limited analysis capabilities and SPSS has strong analysis capabilities but is not a strong questionnaire designer.
