  • Create Surveys. Many different types of questions are available.
  • Custom Scripts. Qualtrics can be improved using small javascript/jQuery/Prototype.JS scripts. This makes the platform extremely customizable.
  • Custom Scripts. I think how javascript can be used for Qualtrics' default behavior is not very well documented. I believe, easier "hooks" can be provided for each question that would enable such customization with minimal effort
  • Tech Support. I believe it would be good for Qualtrics to have a dedicated tech support team that could take calls from clients and take technical questions.
  • Unique Responses. For some surveys that use crowdsourced platforms like Amazon Mturk for collecting responses from the general population, we need unique respondents. That is because answering questions in one survey might bias responses in another survey. It would be great if Qualtrics can provide a way to prevent duplicate respondents from taking part. Of course, this algorithm might not be 100% full proof, but something that is advanced enough. At present, the "Prevent BallotBox Stuffing" feature in Qualtrics does not do a sufficiently good job. I still see a lot of duplicate IPs in my end results.

  • Qualtrics is extremely intuitive and easy to use.
  • The result dashboards are accessible for managers and provide an easy to use way to display data. They make it easy to slice and dice your data how you'd like it presented.
  • The setup is completely customizable.
  • If there was a way to change survey themes and update customizations like that by the end-user, it would be very beneficial. Right now, you must submit a request for a survey theme change.

  • Qualtrics provides an easy to use platform for making surveys and tests.
  • We are able to quantify staff knowledge and opinions easily using the data collected using this product.
  • Qualtrics could be designed to be a little more user intuitive when trying to look at the data from surveys. It took me a bit of clicking around to find my results.

  • They go the extra mile. At the beginning of my project they walked me through the set up and then put together a series of five training videos to help me through and emailed them to me. I really felt this was the extra mile to help me. . . I felt they cared about my project and my success.
  • There is only one issue that I have had, I really feel I should always have the option to extend my survey time and turns out in my case I did not. No worries they did provide a work around if needed. Again they care about my success.

  • Guides you through the evaluation tool development process with ease
  • Software provides a wonderful resource library and support
  • Tool development is a quick and easy process - self paced but with easy to identify and use tools
  • A little more flexibility in the background template design tools would be nice, for example, the ability to assign a text to the"back" and "forward" arrows

  • Depending on time of day, it can be difficult to reach someone in a pinch.
  • I sometimes get lost in the new user interface, but it is most likely because I was so familiar with the previous. Perhaps some things could be more obvious?

  • Easy initial access. Novice users can jump in quickly and master the basics within a few minutes.
  • High ceiling. Once the basics are mastered users can learn and utilize more sophisticated features that significantly extend and enrich data gathering opportunities.
  • Good support. Support agents are available on-line, through email or via telephone.
  • The data analysis tools are quite limited. They have tried to upgrade these tools but so far we have not been impressed.
  • The reporting tools are easy to use and can readily be used to create basic tables and charts for automated reports. However, the tools have limited flexibility and cannot create very sophisticated or visually appealing reports.
  • Qualtrics has greatly expanded its mission in the last few years. We worry a bit about whether mission creep will cause decay or stagnation in the basic survey tools that launched them.

  • Survey tool is incredible - there really isn't anything else as sophisticated on the market.
  • Speed of generating surveys is amazing, it's definitely built by someone that cares about user experience design.
  • Flexibility and complexity of surveys are brilliant.
  • Target audience point redemption process isn't an ideal experience for the user. They should be allowed to redeem rewards at their discretion - save 100 points and get $50. Not push a $10 reward every so often, which they then have to find in their email?!?!
  • Target audience point redemption process isn't business savvy. We experience a ~15-30% burn rate, meaning not all points awarded get redeemed. Community members lose interest and don't redeem, that's a big financial saving for our client. If we adopted the manual redemption push then our client would have lost that saving.
  • We are trying to interface with Tango to provide a more sophisticated reward redemption offering, it's been an uphill battle. We needed a dedicated IT person to help us from spinning our wheels from Day 1. We finally received someone, but it should have been done from day 1.

  • Customer service. The handful of times I have had questions while building or distributing surveys, Qualtrics customer service has been able to resolve the issue quickly, always with friendly, expert service.
  • Usability. Building a survey in Qualtrics fairly intuitive, and I've been able to train many of my undergraduate research assistants quickly and seamlessly on the platform.
  • Some information is lacking from the FAQs/help pages. I've had to call a couple of times because the information I was looking for wasn't online. For instance, how to disable a back button for individual pages in a survey.
  • File storage within a survey. Particularly, the file names that appear in the library are only the outward-facing names; it would be helpful to see both outward-facing and internal file names/information.

  • Customer service - whenever I have a question about Qualtrics features, I get clear answers from Qualtrics customer support quickly.
  • Survey building - it's easy to make surveys, duplicate surveys, export them into word, and so many other things about making surveys in Qualtrics.
  • Survey distribution - you can put an email list into Qualtrics and send out the survey directly from the Qualtrics platform.
  • Hover-over definitions- my team and I were hoping to have hover-over definitions in our survey. To achieve this, we'd have to put in some custom coding, which Qualtrics doesn't support. Qualtrics customer support advised us to use a hyperlink to a document with the definitions instead, which should work out fine.

  • Interactive dashboards are great for executives, allowing a high level view of results with the capability to drill down into detail if desired.
  • Qualtrics have been continually adding new features and enhancing the versatility of the product.
  • You can use the survey and Vocalize platforms in a very simple or very complex manner according to your need/expertise.
  • As a fairly advanced user I find that the online support articles do not always cover what I need to know.
  • Navigation/ field naming in the survey platform could be improved. i.e. the Salesforce response mapping field names are located in an odd place that would not be found intuitively.
