We use SurveyMonkey Apply as an integral part of our hiring process. We hire 150-180 seasonal staff annually and anywhere from 60%-80% of those are completely new hires. Even for re-hires we like to have the ability to compare data from previous applications to get the best possible grasp on the strengths and weaknesses of our hiring pool and SurveyMonkey helps make this possible.
  • Results breakdown by category
  • Intelligent design options
  • Ease of navigation
  • More options for report editing within the system
SurveyMonkey Apply is useful for any organization with a data-based approach to most internal functions. Everything from Human resources to workflow can be analyzed and cataloged with this software as it is suited for a variety of modes and functions within a plethora of industries. Even for small organizations, it's never too early to start organizing your data-based approach to good management.

Easy quick way to get feedback with usually a high percentage rate of participation from the organization internally. It has a really easy navigation option and drag drop building tool which makes it easy to customize. You'll notice it also has an extremely user friendly interface which is important for less tech savvy people.
  • Getting Feedback
  • Simple To use
  • Efficient
  • More features
  • Lower Price
  • Custom designs
This is well suited to get internal feedback from your company or external feedback from a client. You can get this anonymously which is powerful in having people give you their honest opinion especially when you are dealing with employee and internal feedback discussions. it fulfills all the requirements that I was looking for.

SurveyMonkey Apply offers cloud-based software in order to rate brands, markets, products, employees, customer service among other experiences. You can easily create an online survey and have all the information that this same survey recollects.
  • Rating employees
  • Rating customer service
  • Rating companies
  • Rating new products
  • It is widely know that tends to be used on phishing attends so beware of that
  • When customers receive a new survey it will go to spam
If you wanted an easy and fun interface to work with this is your champion! I also love that it has some features for free that way you can try it before going over and purchasing the license.

What I love about Survey Monkey Apply the most is that it is a Easy to Use Form Builder and also caters for small businesses too.
It has allowed us to create smart, simple and data filtered forms so that we do not waste too much time.
I like how the dashboard is so clean and not too complicated - makes it so easy for our team to get the work done.
The real-time report is what I like the most how seamless it is to upload documents and files (which can be a pain at times).
I am super happy with my overall experience.
  • Easy to Use Form Builder
  • Dashboards
  • Real time tracking
  • They should allow users to register for a free trial
  • Should at least have a desktop based application also.
If you are looking for a software that let's you create online forms seamlessly and also minimizes your company's work flow then this is the correct way to go. It has allowed us to get accurate response and also has helped us save enough time compared to when we're still using other softwares.

We use Survey Monkey to easily collect information from a group of people. Its' very simple on both the side of creating the survey and on the side of filling it out. It's one tool I use for survey amoung a few. People are also so familiar with it so that helps to get a lot of people to complete it.
  • Easy to create
  • Easy to fill out
  • Different types of questions (multiple choice, free response, etc.)
  • Integration with Google
  • Sending the user a copy of their responses
  • Analytics break down
If you have a group of people (big or small) I find that software like SurveyMonkey is ideal to stay organized with all the information. It's also good if you want surveys to be anonymous, which often can lead to more honesty with survey responses and feedback; therefore the information ends up being much more helpful. The information is collected in a fashion that is easy to read through and organize.

We use it to sort through applications and better organize our submissions for jobs and grants/awards. We get a lot of submissions each week and Apply helps organize and streamline our process.
  • Streamline submissions.
  • Organizes data.
  • Makes applications simple.
  • Can be slow.
  • Not every submission is accurate.
It is most appropriate when dealing with a high volume of submissions that you need to organize and streamline. I would advise using this program for awards, grants, and potentially job applications. I would steer clear of other reasons to use it.

After submitting the survey, I never saw a link to go back to previous page.
  • Simple
  • User friendly
  • Quick and straightforward
  • No chatbot
  • Customer service 24/7
It is simple and quick ones but, if there are any quick links to back to the previous age or taking to the next survey would be great.

I have used SurveyMonkey during training as a way for our presenter to gauge our opinions on a particular subject. For example, one survey might ask how many people think this is a good idea or is this a better idea? I have also used SurveyMonkey as a part of testing new software for our school. For instance, if we are testing a new student dismissal software and the IT department wants to know if we like the software or not they may employ a survey to gauge our interest level.
  • Creating a survey to gauge the interest in new software.
  • You can also score surveys to estimate their level of success
  • Survey monkey employs pre-made templates to suit your every need or you can create your own.
  • I think that maybe lower the prices for educational institutions
  • I would also like to see even more templates
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.

We use SurveyMonkey Apply to streamline our awards and grants process for students and staff. This replaced a manual process of PDF forms and email with selection meetings. Apply was presented to us as a way to reduce the administrative overhead to managing applications.
  • Streamline the application process for users
  • Create custom and branded applications
  • Ability to assign segments of workflow
  • Selection process is not as automated as possible
  • Does not integrate into student information system
  • Relies on user approvals for most steps
SurveyMonkey Apply allow us to automate beyond smart forms and smart sheets. While there are more areas for improvement, the automated workflow and ease of use for applicants made this tool an excellent upgrade to our old process.

We help our nonprofit clients use this program for grants and scholarships. Each month we work together to figure out the best way to utilize SurveyMonkey Apply. This is a great program for us to use since we deal with so many grants and scholarships for the clients we work with.
  • Grants
  • Scholarships
  • Organization
  • Software
  • Ease of use
  • Flexibility
We just feel that this program was really well for what we were doing, but after trying some of the competitor's programs we felt that there could have been room for improvement for SurveyMonkey Apply. We feel that the interface came off as a bit confusing and took a while to get used to. We also suggest they update their help forms by possibly adding videos that explain the platform. We think they should do this in different forms like beginner, intermediate and advanced. We feel that there are missing features that could be added to make this program better, but as of now we do not like using it.

I have used SurveyMonkey Apply in for application tracking. Using this software is awesome because it is such a time saver with its automation and customization. With a high volume of applications, you are able to manage it at a much easier level. It was recommended by a former colleague, and I am so grateful for that.
  • Customer Service.
  • Report Customization.
  • User Friendly.
  • Customization in General.
  • You need to watch a few tutorial videos to really understand the software before using it.
  • Creating your own reports takes time.
  • Customization can take time as well.
Application Management and tracking for like scholarships, awards, grants, etc. It works wonderfully in having the ability to also export into CSV files and more is a great feature. Streamlines the hiring process, where you can even assign tasks to people with deadlines and can track the progress.

  • employee satisfaction survey
  • travel arrangements
  • creation of questions
When trying to get an understanding of trends and opinions. This a great tool that allows for a quick response and comprehensive understanding of peoples thoughts on specific subjects. I feel as though it is a great tool to get to know your employees and students in regards to how they see their job.

SurveyMonkey Apply is being used to administer financial assistance grants to qualifying veterans of the US Military. It is primarily used by the Veterans' Assistance Program, but other departments in the organization utilize it as well. It addresses several items: creates a real time, easily accessible application process for veterans in need, provides easy access for reviewers, and captures data needed for future grant writing, state legislatures, and other reporting all while keeping it secure.
  • Customer Service
  • User Friendly
  • Security of Data
  • 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.
SurveyMonkey Apply is well-suited for any grant making entity. It is adaptable for desktop, mobile device, and/or tablet, making it super accessible to all applicants. Its reporting capabilities continue to improve, helping even the smallest non-profit.

SurveyMonkey Apply is less appropriate for those whose applicants are not computer literate and/or are against using electronic devices to share information.

We use SurveyMonkey Apply to review applications for our startup accelerator. The SurveyMonkey Apply platform has expanded on our ability to do several things: streamline the data analysis from applications on the backend, manage external reviewers from one central platform, and communicate with applicants from the site. With the program templates being so easy to manage, we only had to go through the setup process once and now we can use it seamlessly from year to year.
  • Makes data analysis relatively simple through Excel spreadsheet exports
  • Collects review data from external reviewers in a straightforward way
  • Email automations to applicants make communication much simpler
  • Needs a central display page for all automations
  • Previews for email automations to make testing easier
  • Making it easier to put a test application through the various application stages
Well-suited for applications to grant or investment programs that will likely have a high volume of applicants. In particular, if the application asks for quantitative responses, the platform is well-suited to help administrators filter through applications very quickly.

May not be as well-suited to applications that don't have a high volume of applicants (say <20) and have primarily essay responses.

We use SurveyMonkey Apply on our programs team in order to host our applications for financial assistance. The program makes it possible for us to track all of our applicants and collect data and demographics to have a better understanding of the community in which we serve. We are also able to use the program to pull reports to analyze our current applications, and use that information to make improvements moving forward.
  • SurveyMonkey Apply has the best customer service I've ever experienced in a company. They are easily accessible, super helpful and friendly, and they will work until they are able to find a solution.
  • The platform for building an application on SurveyMonkey Apply is simple for the user. It's set up with such a clean format that is appealing to the eye and incredibly user-friendly.
  • The application system also has a lot of flexibility, making it easy to customize your applications as needed.
  • The only struggle we've experienced with SMA is the ease in incorporating other language formats for our applications. Being able to offer our application in other languages not only comes with an extra price, but the work needed to build the application in that language can be incredibly time consuming.
SurveyMonky Apply would work well for any application program. Because you are able to build your application and customize it to your specific needs, it would truly support any scenario. I recently attended a seminar with other SMA users and there was such a large spectrum of different companies and organizations that are using the product.It was so interesting, because we realized that despite how different all of us were, we all had the same application components: an eligibility stage, an application, and a review process. This made us more similar than we ever considered!
