Pollfish vs. Zoho Forms

I would recommend Pollifish if a colleague wanted to know one or two simple things about a consumer (or potential consumer) and did not have the resources or time to do focus groups, as the number of questions is adequate to ask about various topics.I would also recommend it for someone who wanted to test a creative piece in front of a specific audience, such as the last case in which I used it

Zoho Forms is well suited for anyone wanting to track items from a specific event or feedback at the conclusion of an event. It is also well suited to track responses. Zoho Forms is less suited for the scenarios where official approval is required because the forms are meant for a single user, and not to be filled out by one person, and then forwarded to another to document the approval. It would also not be good to replace an excel or word document to submit to another department requesting a part number for a new product because again once the form is submitted there is not a way for the second party to 'Update' the existing form and add the part number assigned by the second party.

• Pollfish is very intuitive to use. If you understand how survey questions and answer options are structured, building the surveys themselves is pretty simple.
• When you do run into problems, the customer service through the chat agent on the site is second to none. They are always very responsive and have answered any question I've ever had very quickly and very clearly.
• Pollfish automatically can break you data down into several interesting subcategories. But it's also very easy to break your pool down into one that's very custom, and that's something that other survey companies charge quite a bit for.

• Its feature of sending alerts in real time is my favorite feature. Whenever someone fills an inquiry form, I get alert immediately.
• It has a mobile app also which makes this software usable at anytime and anywhere.
• It's a cloud based application so users don't need so save anything on their system and they don't need to be dependent on their system. They can access their forms from any system.

• Prohibiting participants who don't fit your requirements. I've seen times where someone will literally say in a free responses question that they marked an answer, got rejected from a study, then opened the link again and selected a new answer to be able to participate.
• An easy way to remove participants who are "bad responses" and have the results view upload seamlessly.
• Maybe an AI function that helps you remove bias from quesitons.

• So far I have done well, I have had no problems.
• In some cases, I would like to click on one of the registers and send an email.
• A good idea would be an integration with Zoho Mail to create templates within the survey.

For what it is and what it offers, I think it is very user friendly, intuitive and reactive. As long as you don't treat it as a powerful full service research tool and look at it more as the scrappy DIY option, it will actually exceed expectations.

It is very easy to use & straight forward for a tech or non-tech user. It is very easy to distribute the form & collect data to evaluate. Lots of features to make the form unique or to collect data in many ways (sliders, wheels, more than just typed data entry). Works great on desktop or mobile devices as well.

So far we have not faced any issue while using the software but our customer journey has been breathtaking so far, which obviously i am expecting, should be the case of the support of Zoho Forms as well. However we have explored their support channels; you can easily find the contact us form in the profile slider and there are other resources available with a single click like Help Menu, What's New Menu, Blogs and Forums. However i could not find any live chat or support with the Free version.

Pollfish was more suited for my needs to design surveys for strangers to use and get paid responses. It was definitely newer, and while it had some glitches and shortcomings, it had a better UX than some of the others.

Zoho Forms I found to be more affordable (free tiers works for many businesses). They offered solutions that fit the need & didn't limit features like some of the other services trying to upsell. Jotform offers a lot more add-on features or widgets and has an interesting platform, but it is much more costly for small businesses.

• Has definitely helped with the speed at which we turn around research projects due to how quickly we get results back.
• Has enabled us to survey respondents from around the world to get a better sense of the global consumer perspective of our products.
• Insights builder has given us fantastic in-depth results analysis and stat testing capabilities that were not previously available.

• The biggest pain point we had was getting notified in time of form submission which Zoho Forms has solved and now we do not miss any form submission from a potential lead.
• Our existing customers (50+) were using conventional methods to inform us about issues being faced which was a major hassle for us in providing good customer services. But thanks to Zoho Forms, we now document each issue properly, respond to it in a timely manner and get it resolved with the SLAs.
• We have also used Zoho Forms to have our live chat channel integrated with Zoho Forms to be able to get a form submission from them instantly while chatting with our CSRs.
