Considered Both Products
Sogolytics
Chose Sogolytics
Qualtrics is excellent, very robust, but extremely expensive. If an organization does not have the means, it's probably beyond most people's reach. SurveyMonkey's features are good, but one has to pay more to get what I got with SoGoSurvey. I evaluated various other survey …
Chose Sogolytics
Qualtrics and Google Forms both are ok but do not have the same functionality as SoGoSurvey, I would not use Google Forms because of serious shortcomings on question types and data analysis and I would prefer to use Sogo over Qualitics for the functionality boost, Qualtrics has …
Chose Sogolytics
I evaluated several different products, including SurveyMonkey. SoGoSurvey appeared to have the most features at the best value. Unfortunately, the "free" service didn't satisfy our needs and we had to upgrade during the first survey. I found SurveyMonkey and SoGoSurvey to …
Chose Sogolytics
The three of them have many similarities, Qualtrics seemed more robust but it felt overwhelming for my needs. Once the SurveyMonkey trial period expired, we were unable to print or access any of the work we have done; this wasn't an issue with SoGo. SoGo customer service …
Chose Sogolytics
I did not have experience using SurveyMonkey previous to our use of SoGoSurvey, but I do know that those who did were excited to hear about a lack of restrictions on survey deployment and some other features that were lacking in the free version of SurveyMonkey.
Chose Sogolytics
SurveyMonkey allowed our team to design a complete survey, before asking us to pay a subscription price after this had been finished. This wasted our time and felt like a trick, making us invest time and energy in designing something that would be wasted unless you gave them …
Chose Sogolytics
When we were looking for a replacement for SurveyMonkey due to not being able to carry out a specific type of questionnaire without being on a higher level package we discovered SoGoSurvey who were able to provide these features without any additional costs. SoGoSurvey was the …
Chose Sogolytics
I've used several other survey tools, but for this specific case, I needed a somewhat more sophisticated tool for a specific and larger customer survey with several options. Also the survey needed to be company branded so customers really felt it came from us.
Chose Sogolytics
We ultimately went with SoGoSurvey because of its user friendly functionality, robust reporting with customizable graphs and charts, including the word cloud feature and the template library. I also found that the other products we considered were so much more robust than we …
Chose Sogolytics
  • Easier to use.
  • More contemporary look and feel.
  • Excellent customer service.
Chose Sogolytics
SoGoSurvey was more flexible in my opinion compared to the other survey company's I looked at. It had a monthly price option that allowed for the type of logic we needed in our questions. It had great reports, a simple user interface, and tons of helpful tools and question …
Chose Sogolytics
They are very similar products but in the end SoGo's customer service won out. They were so helpful and attentive and we didn't go through multiple layers of people in the Sales process.
Chose Sogolytics
SoGoSurvey provided more functionality and better reporting survey metrics for a good pricepoint.
Chose Sogolytics
SoGoSurvey offered the best value for money mix of features compared to other products that I have investigated. However, recent price increases has undermined this.
Chose Sogolytics
SoGoSurvey stacks up against these other two products with its diverse set of reporting/analytics options, question types, and overall workflow. The ability to track a user's score in the Assessments is highly useful for our team, and not possible on other platforms. We …
Chose Sogolytics
I find SoGoSurvey to be a powerful software and yet easy to use. Other software that I have used in the past would take a long time to build and edit and set up different logic. It was usually painful to make changes to surveys that were live. The distribution of surveys …
SurveyMonkey
Chose SurveyMonkey
SurveyMonkey has more than 150 survey templates to choose from that are expert-written ranging from market research product survey, customer satisfaction survey templates, 360-degree employee evaluation, product testing, website feedback and so much more. It has more …

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.

Pros
SoGoSurvey
  • Easy to use - easy to create surveys, send to participants and review the results
  • The library of ready to use templates is so helpful!
  • The large variety of question types helps to keep the survey interesting for the participant.
  • The "smart" question logic is amazing. I love having a follow up question appear depending on how the participant answers a previous question.

  • 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.

Cons
SoGoSurvey
  • Providing users the ability to follow along a specific question example (eg. placeholder text in questions that users can see what the answer might look like)
  • Better media management and implementation (eg. placing images/videos/gifs/etc. as standalone assets in the survey)
  • Making the images added into a survey responsive to the screen they are being viewed on (eg. any images added to a survey do not adjust to the size of the screen, consequently showing up very small on mobile/tablet view)
  • Exporting the survey to Word looks horrible - we'd love if the survey could be exported the way it looks when live into a similar-looking Word document or template

  • 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.

Will definitely use the software again as soon as we need another survey to be conducted.

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.

Usability
SoGoSurvey
Everything on the platform is laid out logically and in a manner that even our less technical administrators can go onto the system and create/manage any surveys or feedback questionnaires. The options for distribution of these surveys are also simple and straight forward with all available choices showing. Our users don't need to know the ins and outs of the system to be able to use it.

It does everything a survey software should do, and it does it very well. I can't speak for how well it would work for a business that was surveying tens of thousands of people - but for a small business of 50 employees with a couple of thousand clients, it does everything it needs to do.

I had an issue whereby I used a free trial that ended, locking me out of my account. I contacted their customer service to help with this issue, which they resolved in under half an hour. I was extremely impressed with their speed and quality of service, which led me to filling out this review!

I've never had to contact the SurveyMonkey customer care team directly, but they have a pretty good library of help articles on their website. Everything from designing and executing your survey to account and billing questions. I never had a need for further support from Survey Monkey.

SurveyMonkey is easier to customize and provides much more in depth analytics. SurveyMonkey also provides better templates providing us with a better presentation to our employees. SurveyMonkey also comes with a more trustworthy platform that ensures confidentiality, which is incredibly important to our employees and means we're getting more reliable results from the surveys.

Return on Investment
SoGoSurvey
  • Cost. The software is very reasonably priced when judged against its functionality. The cost and risk of deploying paper surveys, coupled with the additional time it would take to input the data before analysis, means we have a lot less to worry about, have saved time and money.
  • Data and reputation. Security of data is important to us. Using this software has enhanced our credibility with clients. We're serious about data security and this software shows that we are.
  • Ethics and reputation. We are also serious about achieving the highest ethical standards in research, and nothing in this software impedes our ability to meet these standards.
  • Speed. The online training, all of which has been 1-2-1, helped me get to grips with the software and deploy it quickly. The quality of training is very high indeed.

  • We use this to survey vendors after a trade show and their comments to me have helped improve other shows. I don't have hard numbers but I know our vendors, some of whom are associate members, are very happy to give this feedback because it helps their ROI too.
  • I know it has saved us employee time as we aren't sifting through email responses and entering them into a spreadsheet. SurveyMonkey does that for us.
  • We often need to do quick polls to our members to make decisions. This makes them feel like they are getting value for their membership dues that they pay our association.
