Likelihood to Recommend
QuestionPro Inc
QuestionPro is great for forced-choice and Likert-scale data, and it easily turns raw data into readable statistics. The simple interface lacks attractiveness but is easy to learn and use, even for members outside the digital age. QuestionPro is less effective for qualitative data and short answer responses in large quantities. Reporting and analytic features leave this information in the bulky design, clogging the report and preventing cohesive presentation of the data.

Zendesk
For growing technology-based companies, Zendesk Sunshine is the best ally to provide email and chat support. It supports various integrations and can provide exceptional service that is fully customizable for both the customer and the agents using Zendesk. It is not appropriate for small companies, and for companies with a very small customer base, it is a considerable expense after a customer base of at least 10,000 customers.

Pros
QuestionPro Inc
  • Before choosing QuestionPro, we evaluated it and Qualtrics, SurveyGizmo, and SurveyMonkey. A committee tested each of 141 key features on all four products. QuestionPro did well in the comparison and we have ended up using even more features that we tested. The summary of that work can be found here: https://oit.utk.edu/research/documentation/qualtrics-to-questionpro/.
  • The way it handles anonymous surveys is particularly good. With most products, you have to remember to check the "anonymous" box to prevent it from saving email addresses or other identifiable data. But if you forget to do so, you can't tell by taking the survey. Question pro uses "Respondent Anonymity Assurance" that must be turned on by the company (a quick request from the chat window will suffice) and then it can never be turned off. This activates a link that appears on the bottom left-hand of each survey page. Clicking it takes the survey participant to a company page which assures them that the anonymous feature is indeed turned on.
  • It has a very nice combination of great power and ease of use.
  • The support we have received from the company has been excellent. Our team has worked with around 30 research software vendors for over 35 years and this company stands out as being extremely responsive to our needs. We told them we needed a migration tool to help us move from Qualtrics to QuestionPro and they created one in just a few weeks. They've added or improved a number of other features for us, at no charge.

Cons
QuestionPro Inc
  • The current user interface for designing and editing questions is truly awful. A big step backwards from earlier user interfaces which were great.
  • Customer support is not very helpful.
  • Results of survey are not exported in a way that is easy to translate into R data frame.

  • There are some glitches when doing upgrades on information or data, sometimes
  • It is difficult to find tickets once they are solved, we could have a tracking of the most recent or solved tickets during the day.
  • The integration or merge with other tickets from the same client is not intuitive at all, there should be an alert that throws a match.

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.

Because it is a tool that we use on a daily basis and has provided confidence for the massive use that is given to it, it has also been the expected product, allowing customization and optimizing processes, saving us a lot of money and time. Definitely, the ability to track customers and the way to automate all customer support processes becomes totally easy and intuitive.

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.

QuestionPro Inc
First of all, QuestionPro has powerful futures when we compare it with others. I am not sure but somehow interface of the product is always important for some more than its functionality. QuestionPro has many features, functionality and has a great interface. It is easy to use and a software that is easy to understand.

Return on Investment
QuestionPro Inc
  • QuestionPro is being used to automate surveys that were previously done by hand. We would not have been able to do this without the anonymous tracking feature. It has cut turnaround of reports by more than half.
  • This is of course more efficient, but this could be expected of any software that automates a survey for you.
