QuestionPro vs. SurveyMonkey

I would recommend it for VERY simple projects. For anything that requires extensive programming, it's probably better to have a professional survey programmer develop the code rather than the research manager or director. Otherwise, it's an easy to use and intuitive program. It's also a good option if pricing is a concern.

SurveyMonkey is best suited for you if you find that you are creating multiple survey regularly. It offers a variety of questions and options and is a well-rounded surveying tool. It is not best if you do not create surveys often, typically use the same survey, or looking for software to create quizzes or assessments. Also, if you are easily overwhelmed by too many options, this may not be the tool for you.

• Once you have designed a survey it is easy to send out to respondents and administer.
• QuestionPro offers a wide range of question types and sophisticated options such as randomization of responses and logic trees.
• QuestionPro generates basic charts that are decent for visual inspection of results of survey.
• Earlier versions of the user interface were intuitive and easy to use.

• SurveyMonkey templates have made it very user-friendly. It is very efficient to create a survey.
• I love that they have multiple ways to answer questions. For example, short answer, paragraph, and radio buttons to name a few.
• The surveys are very easy to share. You can import a large list of email addresses or free type just a few.
• I like that you can test the survey before sending it out live. I send it to myself to verify how it will look and feel to the end-user.

• I would like the unique key generated for the respondents to be random and not follow a sequential number. We have bypassed this, but it needs additional effort and time.
• There is an option for the "finish page" which is a report that summarises the survey that has just been completed for the respondent has been in "beta" for a long time!
• Some of the advanced report options are only available online and would be useful to be able to download in different formats as are the more standard/simple filtered reports.

• Recognizing that there are more limitations when it comes to a mobile interface vs. a desktop interface, I would love to see more profound levels of programming functionality on the mobile side.
• It would be helpful to have better access to greater levels of third-party results analysis, particularly as it relates to open-ended questions and answers.
• As an admin, it would be very cool if SurveyMonkey were able to use AI to match the survey we're building (questions, topics, target respondents, etc.) to existing results that might negate the need to ask certain questions in our surveys.

It's a fine product, but it's also a very competitive field, so it wouldn't take much to knock QuestionPro from top tier status. I would like to see more functionality in all programs, so whichever program does that first is likely to get my money in the next round of budgeting.

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.

QuestionPro is very easy to use. There are lots of question types and drag and drop functionality. There are lots of ways that make the platform easy to use

SurveyMonkey should suffice for most simple use cases to collect responses or feedback from clients. The templates that they offer are helpful as well as the guidance on question formulation. If you just need a stand alone software to distribute and collect surveys, then SurveyMonkey will meet your needs.

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

They offer email, chat, and phone support. I have used the chat support several times. Response time was fast, but the rep did not always have the answer. Inquiries are answered quickly and thoroughly.

I haven’t used the support function yet, but I have had colleagues that have and the issues they’ve faced have been resolved super quickly. They also have said the support people they have come in contact with have been extremely friendly. Those two things are what made me choose my rating

Try every feature and test take your surveys multiple times, running through different scenarios.

Implementation not required.

QuestionPro greatly exceeds Google and Microsoft in analytics and data presentation. The ability to filter responses and automatically update statistical evaluation is unrivaled, as the other software primarily export data as CSV or Excel files. Google and QuestionPro are both easier to navigate than OneDrive’s Forms features. QuestionPro’s visual appeal falls short of Google, but it remains comparable with OneDrive.

Building forms on SurveyMonkey is much easier and prettier than it is with HubSpot CRM, although I love that form responses map to our contact properties in HubSpot. Google Forms is less professional and clean looking and feeling than SurveyMonkey. I wouldn't want to put a Google form in front of a client or important stakeholder. But Google Forms is very quick and easy to pull together with a single, universal, short, sharable respondent link which is great for answers you need know. Plus the data integration/export to sheets is seamless and easy.

• Since we're a major research university, we don't really look at ROI as comanpanies do. However, when we switched from using Qualtrics, our five year contract with QuestionPro saved us over $900,000.
• The only negative impact was that it takes time and effort to move to any new tool.

• It helped to determine if our business was going to switch to a new payroll software based on the employee feedback of whether one of its main features would actually be wanted or not.
• It helps to improve individual instructor's classes based on survey feedback from our clients.
• It helped us to gauge the interest in whether or not a pool of people wanted to become instructors.
