We use Qualtrics for market research, both to screen for eligible participants and for the participants to provide feedback on products. We also use Survey Gizmo which is great, but Qualtrics (while more expensive) is used whenever the surveys have more complex logic or piping that Gizmo can't always handle.

I used this product to collect data on market research for the college athletics market audience. This was done by the Marketing department to spread feedback to additional department to see where market dollars could be raised. I also used this product for multiple collegiate projects mainly for market research data. This business problem addressed was finding where dollars could be grabbed or target audiences looked at that were not before.

Qualtrics software was used for multiple purposes in our department, and has begun to be implemented throughout the organization as others see the uses of automating some of their processes.

One purpose for why we used the Qualtrics software was to gather feedback from our customers to better understand their experiences while engaging with our products. We also gathered feedback to understand our customers' experiences with our customer service. The survey aspect of the software was very comprehensive and easy to use. It enabled us to quickly and seamlessly create these feedback requests.

Another purpose was to gather initial information about our customers. As customers would visit, their check-in would be handled automatically with the use of another tech-friendly survey that was highly compatible with our office Apple products. These simple check-in requests would automatically be sent to our email which facilitated the process of ensuring that our customers had exactly what they needed when they needed it. This automation was key to our ability to provide excellent customer service and increase our customer ratings. It enabled us to spend our time focussing on more important tasks.

We use Qualtrics to build and distribute surveys ranging from evaluations of meetings and events to grantee reports. It is used across our whole organization. It allows us to use one product for multiple different actions-- whether it's simply collecting RSVPs for a reception or creating a reporting template for a complex grant program, our staff only needs to know how to use one program.

We are currently using Qualtrics to receive customer satisfaction results from their interactions with our product support engineers. We also use Qualtrics on our knowledgebase articles on the web to receive feedback on technical information documents that customers would like to provide feedback on (like if it solved their issue, or if it should have more details, etc). It is being used across our organization in various business units, though it is primarily used in our services division(s).

Our Consumer & Business Insights team is currently using Qualtrics to field primary quantitative research in the form of online surveys. We utilize the software to create the surveys themselves, and on occasion utilize Qualtrics panels in order to recruit survey sample. These surveys help inform the development of marketing strategies on behalf of our clients, as well as in new business prospecting. Some typical primary research efforts include:
  • Consumer experience research
  • Category intelligence gathering
  • Advertising creative / copy testing
  • Targeting & market segmentation
  • Brand health studies

I brought in Qualtrics as one of a few in-house survey tools at our disposal for the market research team at ADP. I personally designed, programmed, launched, and deployed several surveys using Qualtrics. I have personal experience with the sales teams, training organization, and service teams at Qualtrics.

Qualtrics is being used specifically by the Public Policy Research Lab here at LSU. We're essentially a market research unit that serves both on-campus clients, non-profit's, state agencies, and businesses. Whenever we have an online survey to do as part of a research project, we host the survey in Qualtrics.

We use it to administer surveys and to learn new things. We assess many variables and have staff input those variables into the survey software. We use this for quantitative and qualitative research. The product is used across the University and my use is in one specific area of academic research. We address the problem on needing to know new information about a topic.

Many faculty across our campus use qualtrics for research and for other survey needs. These could be course related or for other projects. Many departments also use the product to conduct surveys of faculty, students, staff, researchers, etc.

We needed a tool that provided good data for our researchers that functioned at an enterprise level. It was also important that we have a product where data stood in the cloud is considered secure and compliant with state and federal regulations.

We also needed a company willing to work with us to meet our needs. Qualtrics has been a great partner when we needed to get the URL to look like it was coming from our campus and not from the company. While this took a bit of time, it has been a great benefit to response rates for our users.

Qualtrics is being used throughout our organization for survey purposes. We use it for faculty, administrative, student and alumni surveys. It makes survey writing a breeze with the many options on what types of questions you want (multiple choice, text box, likert scale, etc.).

I had experience with Qualtrics from a research project in graduate school and decided to use the program in a pilot auditing program. This is the only application to my knowledge that the company is using Qualtrics for, as we would typically have our internal IT staff build similar programs. In the interest of getting the program up and running quickly I knew Qualtrics would be a good solution. Qualtrics allowed for a centralized way for me to deliver data to the employees in the field and collect responses from their audits.

We currently use the Qualtrics Research Suite across about 80% of our organization to create surveys that we distribute to current and potential customers as well as internally for employee feedback. We are able to get valuable feedback on our current products as well as upcoming content releases and new product launches. We also use Qualtrics Site Intercept to interact and silicate feedback from users who are on our site about new product features as well as survey users about media channels that drove them to our website. We also use Site Intercept to gain understanding around why users exit our signup process before fulfilling a purchase of our subscription services.

We have been using Quatrics at the Kellogg School of Management for many years. We saw the software growing and getting refined every year. In addition, we collaborated with Qualtrics to request features that weren’t present when we first started using the software, and they have always been very receptive and helpful in implementing them.

Qualtrics is being used by the entire school for different purposes. Our MBA students use it as part of their learning process, as a powerful tool to create surveys. We also use it internally, for surveys among the departments for a broad variety of purposes.

In my specific case, however, I work with our researchers (PhD students and Faculty Members) who use Qualtrics for research purposes. As and administrator, I manage their accounts and help them when they have issues creating a survey, which, I must say, happens rarely, since Qualtrics is a very user friendly survey software.

Qualtrics is used for qualitative and quantitative market research projects performed for clients. This includes screeners, quant surveys, moderator notes for qualitative surveys, and customer satisfaction surveys. Only the consultants/researchers and respondent recruiters use Qualtrics, which is about 50% of the company.

Qualtrics is used at the campus level at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I manage the instance used at the Leeds School of Business, and we have faculty, staff, and student users. We use it robustly for what it's intended, surveying, but we also use it as an RSVP tool for event management and other ways.

Qualtrics is a GREAT product for obtaining survey responses, calculating statistics and gathering analytical information. I'm impressed with it's user "friendly-ness". I've been using the product for almost 8 years and thus far, there is no reason to change that. One issue I do have, is the inability to download responses for only one question. I do not always need the FULL responses to my entire survey. Sometimes my members want the responses of one particular question. Unfortunately, I have to download the entire survey, copy/paste or extract from the downloaded material. Otherwise, the product has been most helpful. Best features are: Triggers, statistics, and skip logic! Love it!

Qualtrics was introduced to advertising and public relations students in the Advertising Research course that is required by the department. In the course we were taught the importance of survey making and how to structure them to get meaningful results. Qualtrics is a great tool because it lets you structure surveys however you please, and most importantly it allows for the user to look at the results very easily. I personally used this tool for my capstone project which helped my team come to clear decisions about our client. Qualtrics helped us come to the conclusion of our target audience, design ideas, and marketing opportunities that we were unsure of.

I first staring using Qualtrics when I was a student at Columbia Business School to conduct research for my academic projects. I conducted several student surveys and was able to become fluent in the software very quickly because of its well designed, intuitiuve user interface.

At my first job I immediately recognized how Qualtrics could benefit the consumer research being conducted. At this job I used qualtrics to survey the current customer base because I was able to easily tie individual survey responses to CRM behavioral data living in the offline CRM customer warehouse. This allowed for significantly more robust analysis to be conducted as I was able to utilize a much larger dataset. I was also able to create value and understand my CRM data that was formally just sitting in isolation.

I have never used the Site Intercept product however I have heard fantastic things from peers who have used it while conducting studies on the effectiveness of digital marketing campaigns and websites.

Also I enjoy Qualtrics blog as it is incredibly educational. I have referenced it numerous times. Specially I have used it to read up on the various methadologies of conjoint analysis. I have never used the Qualtrics conjoint product, but I look forward to testing it out when the time is right!

Qualtrics solved the problem in the organization where we wanted to start programming more robust surveys but didn’t have the technical or operational expertise. It was quite easy to get up and going with and scalable in field.
