REDCap surveys is designed according to HIPAA rules, FISMA, 21 CFR part 11, ICH-Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and GDPR, thereby making it more reliable for this market niche.
Chose REDCap
We have not used other products like REDCap. So far, REDCap is our standard research data collection and analysis platform.
Chose REDCap
SurveyMonkey and Google Forms have similar features for surveys but they lack the form options and user interface. They are also not HIPPA compliant so we are not able to collect any identifying information which is usually an issue in research when we are tracking …
SurveyMonkey Apply
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
They honestly are interchangeable and one is not particularly better than the other one in my humble opinion. Pick whichever one works best for you!
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
It is free on the initial steps and once you pay for the license you get full customization.
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
SurveyMonkey Apply (formerly Fluid Review) is extremely user friendly, it speeds up the survey/forms creativity and design. Very reliable and trusted - it is the most popular and used by small organizations to large and well established businesses. You can easily opt for month …
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
SurveyMonkey is also easy but lacks some of the integration that Google Surveys offers. Most people use Google or have an account which makes it very easy for them to use. Google Surveys are free and there is a free account for Survey Monkey, however it is more limited compared …
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
I have used Google Forms to create surveys in the past. I think SurveyMonkey delivers faster results that you can easily read and understand.
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
SurveyMonkey Apply is a full workflow tool that is very user-friendly and has a low barrier to entry for administrators and users. No database or coding knowledge is required to customize and implement this tool.
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
We think that Submittable is the top platform available and will continue to use it for our clients. The start-to-finish platform makes our workflow smarter and more efficient, leading to better decisions and bigger impact. We are always looking for new programs and when we …
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
None! This is the first software we are using for this.
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
I think that google forms is a bit more accessible as most of what we do is on google and so in that regard, it is hard to prioritize an external software when it can do basically the same things.
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
We were an applicant for a grant through another entity that used FluidReview. It was exactly what we were looking for in a grant application software. We did not compare any at that time as FluidReview fit our needs. Since then, we have applied for grants through GovGrants. …
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
SurveyMonkey Apply has a much better user experience and is easy to navigate so that there was not much reliance on customer service reps to handle the program buildout and maintenance. SurveyMonkey Apply also has better data export capabilities, and we were able to design the …
Chose SurveyMonkey Apply
I honestly didn't search any further than SurveyMonkey Apply, as the price was so affordable and the ability to do everything we needed was already there.

Our main use has been for research studies. It allows HIPPA compliant data collection with a vast amount of customization options, branching logic to keep collection clean, and validation to ensure data collected can easily be analyzed. We can send surveys to participants in between visits and use forms for in person visits where a staff member is collecting the information

I think SurveyMonkey is well suited in company meetings to see how well customers like a certain product or in staff meetings to see how well a new teaching method is doing in comparison to an old one. I honestly think that SurveyMonkey can be used in just about anywhere that customer or employee feedback is valued.

Cons
  • REDCap is generally the best app for public health and clinical trials for both the academia and for-profit organization. However it is poorly marketed much effort is placed on the academia side though organizations like the pharmaceuticals, hospitals, insurance etc., would be willing especially when they get hear about it.
  • REDCap needs to work on the user interface. It's kinda boring especially when designing surveys and when navigating for surveys
  • The FAQ must be shortened , sometimes the videos associated with FAQ seem long.

  • An average administration may not have the technical capabilities to adapt and shape it for themselves. While SurveyMonkey Apply has an option for tech support for a price, it is not something always easy for the admin.
  • There is no way to cross reference users by Social Security Number or other identifier. In other words, a single applicant with multiple email addresses could potentially apply and receive benefits as the users are tied to email address not email address and SSN.

Usability
It is very interesting to me especially that it meets all my needs. The libraries makes the job even much easier, since you can just make a few adjustments to the appropriate template chosen

  • Positive Impact: allowed us to move to a more virtual office, just in time for COVID's forcing all to work from home/remotely.
