SurveyMonkey has a visualisation, and for Google Survey, you have to download your data the some other program, like Looker. But Google Survey is fully connectable to Google Sheets, and Survey Monkey doesn't allow you to download your database, especially if it is free text …
Chose SurveyMonkey
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 …

I think we were looking for a survey products, so when I think about survey products; SurveyMonkey is the only solution
Chose SurveyMonkey
Outside of creating our own surveys, no other tools have been used outside of SurveyMonkey. I have heard of a few others but would not be able to provide an honest opinion due to my lack of experience working with them.
Chose SurveyMonkey
SurveyMonkey is way better than jotform for surveys, simply because it is a dedicated survey software, whereas Jotform is more general form builder. If a business's sole purpose is to send a survey out and view responses, SurveyMonkey is better than Jotform in every category.
Chose SurveyMonkey
As [I] mentioned in the previous comments, [I believe] there is no comparison. [In my opinion,] SurveyMonkey is a market lagger.
Chose SurveyMonkey
The tool is free, but we selected SurveyMonkey because we were able to easily pull the data and do the analysis.

I have only used this software and have not used others.

In terms of creating surveys and analyzing their results, the main competitor we use is Qualtrics. I think Qualtrics has better features, a more professional environment, and more robust tools. This can also be negative as it can be overwhelming for untrained users. I have …

SurveyMonkey has the most options in terms of available question formats, analysis and participant tracking, and customizability. Google Forms is a more basic interface with fewer options for tracking and analysis, and Typeform is better in terms of design and branding options …

SurveyMonkey offers a better end user and survey building experience. The tools to easily create a fun and engaging survey are easily accessible, easy to understand, and easy to use. You could go as far as to say that a monkey could figure out how to use SurveyMonkey.
Chose SurveyMonkey
I've only built my own in Access, SharePoint, and HTML. I don't like any of them. Plus, anything internal like SharePoint is going to have a network user/time stamp, and that wont increase participation at all.

SurveyMonkey is the least used between Wufoo, Titan Forms, and Google Forms. It is a solid program, however, for our uses the other programs provide additional features such as syncing to our CRM database, accepting Stripe payments, or automatically syncing with my already …

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 …
Chose SurveyMonkey
SurveyMonkey has more analytic data options than what I found using Google Forms. Otherwise, if you use the Google Suite of products you may find it easier to just use Google Forms. When it comes to our website forms we have switched to JotForm as it has a better display on our …
Chose SurveyMonkey
It's probably above Google Surveys and below the other two. I didn't select SurveyMonkey, the company already had it and I made the decision to get an additional license for my work.
Chose SurveyMonkey
In my opinion, SurveyMonkey is the gold standard. Google Forms and Google Surveys, while being able to connect easily to other Google tools, are not as adept or intuitive as SurveyMonkey is. Google is trying to be all things for all people, and while it does a lot of those …

While Google Forms is free, the ability to design and customize forms/surveys would prove to be beneficial to the end user. Google Forms is very limited to multiple editors while SurveyMonkey provides viewing, editing, and commenting to editors. Additionally, the access to 200 …

Better as TestInvite has advanced proctoring.
Chose TestInvite
I spend a LOT of time researching alternatives. Many required high upfront payments and did not have the functionality I needed. Test Invite was the first platform I tried and I was very happy with it!
Chose TestInvite
I selected Test Invite because it was the only provider I found whose question format types and customization options fully allowed us to digitalize our placement tests and conduct them online. The availability of video and audio options in questions is a clear advantage.

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.

Very supportive, evolved quickly, had a markedly more advanced experience with them from the first year we collaborated to the second as they were very open to suggestions and agile in making improvements according to our feedback. Very patient with our constant contacting and extremely congenial when handling challenging situations. As mentioned in the suggested improvements, a more modernized look and feel to the user interface would add much value to the experience.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Very responsive to my questions and wants to make sure customers needs are met
  • In my experience, invested in their customer needs and do what they can to meet extraneous demands
  • In my opinion, easy to navigate tool and software

Cons
  • 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.

  • The platform itself is constantly being updated and streamlined to reduce bugs and increase ease of use for the user. This area constantly needs improvement for any company.
  • Compatibility across devices. Users sometimes have difficulties using the service on mobile devices.
  • A mobile application could be a way to improve the user interface.

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
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.

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

This is the most appreciated part of working with Test Invite over the last 2 years. Support was always timely, congenial, effective, and never challenging in terms of response rate or quality of reaction. Our counterpart on the Test Invite side has practically become a member of our team, as they are always extremely involved and ready to provide value while becoming very clear on our needs.

Alternatives Considered
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.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
