[In My Opinion, I Think They're] Frauds - [I believe You Should] Be Careful [of] the Renewal Conditions
Score 1 out of 10

[In my experience,] the SurveyMonkey team decided to push through the renewal without our consent, and [I believe they] are now providing false information concerning the renewal conditions. [In my opinion, you should] please note that their conditions do not respect Consumer Laws. [I feel that] this is considered fraud. [Because of our experience,] we recently decided to cancel our renewal subscription because our teams using the survey functionalities [feel that] the product [is] archaic and very costly for what it provides. [I believe] other products in the market do a better job for less. We are now turning to other products and companies that are worthy of our business. [Personally,] we do not tolerate fraud and misuse of consumer conditions.
- Building a question
- [I believe that the] renewal conditions [could be done differently].
- [I think that the] survey functionality beyond the questions [is] archaic and dysfunctional.
- [In my opinion, the] graphs are rudimentary and are not usable when presenting results.
This software is being used by my school district, across all schools, mainly for feedback in professional development classes but also from principals to teachers as a way of receiving multiple feedback.
- Makes it simple to use, answer questions and submit the answers.
- Provides good generalizations according to the feedback received.
- Is a simple way of accumulating opinions about a variety of topics while not being too invasive.
- Provide some ways to remedy the data accumulated by the administrator.
- Making the questions more engaging with a gif or an image to encourage usage.
- Keeping the surveys to a minimum of 3-5 main questions is needed in order to reduce the likelihood of non-participants.

SurveyMonkey, easy and fun enough for a monkey.
SurveyMonkey is an easy to use service by the company and consumer. Individuals on marketing or account management utilize the service to get feedback and/or reviews about their experience with our product and how well we're servicing them.
The surveys are both easy and fun to build on SurveyMonkey. With simple 1 to 10 scale question, multiple choice, short answers, and more the process of building a survey is very fluid. This translates well for a product that any type of individual without computer experience could easily compete.

Easy to use software to build surveys, quizzes, internal 360 reviews, and much much more!!
We developed 360 evaluations for our team using SurveyMonkey. The software made it easy for us to email the survey to each team member and really gave us some valuable insight from our team. We have also used SurveyMonkey for pulse points on our team's overall engagement with our hospital. We also used SurveyMonkey to develop surveys with our clients to determine interest in various products/services.
- 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.
- I would like to have more customizable options for branding it to our hospital colors. Some survey options allow you to enter html color codes. SurveyMonkey allows you to change colors and you have to pick from selected options.
- Embedding the surveys into a webpage, like WordPress is not as seamless as other services.

Global leader in online survey projects
SurveyMonkey is being used across our organization to conduct market research and gather customer feedback. It is also used to gather employee feedback within the organization by filing out surveys that are shared across teams. Whether simple or complex surveys are created within minutes and reaching millions of respondents to collect and analyze data has become hassle free through SurveyMonkey.
- A wide question bank that offers customization questions of different types such as market research, customer satisfaction, employee feedback, demographics etc.
- The surveys can be customized to match our brand by adding the company logo, company name and images.
- One handy URL to collect responses from millions of respondents.
- More options to customize the look of the surveys for a full custom branding
- They should be able to offer live support within their site for faster communication with users.

SurveyMonkey takes the cake
In our organization of over 200,000 members, we use SurveyMonkey to build surveys, forms, polls, and quizzes using a variety of question types (e.g., initial proposals, check-ins with our members during the pandemic, assessment of how they are using our website). Each chapter also uses it for specific process, and some use it to gain a quick assessment of an inquiry.
- Design themes are user friendly
- Logo customization is a plus
- Ability to create a custom template is advantageous among 11 different offices
- Provides more dynamic collaboration
- Free plan could offer a bit more so users can see the benefit to go with a premium plan
- More survey templates
April 14, 2021
Quick, easy insights
We specifically use SurveyMonkey to get quick and easy feedback from employees. For example, discussions around future work from home opportunities throughout the pandemic, willingness to participate in different culture committee events, and general feedback on technology roll outs. We use it as needed as opposed to something on a regular basis.
- Quick.
- Easy.
- User friendly.
- Security - I haven't spent much time exploring their security, but by default would not put sensitive information in any of the surveys.
- Notifications - I think the logistics of setting up notifications as a survey creator are a little clunky.

SurveyMonkey: Full survey lifecycle at its finest!
SurveyMonkey has been used to provide surveys to users of software applications developed by our company. It is currently only used by the Software Development Department. It provides a turnkey solution for putting together comprehensive surveys and questions, and the full lifecycle and feedback loop for those questions and the users that answer them. It also provides comprehensive statistics on the results of the surveys deployed.
- Allows users to build surveys, including custom survey questions and/or survey templates for common applications.
- Provides a wide variety of distribution methods and means of collecting answers.
- Provides comprehensive results including graphs and diagrams that help interpret the results.
- Friendly reminders to help target audiences complete their survey.
- Customized survey forms that can include company branding/style.
- Wide variety of survey methods/question types (i.e. scale of 1 to 10, multiple answers, etc.)
- Simple surveys are free to design and deploy, but more sophisticated options require payment.
My organization uses SurveyMonkey for B2C clients to survey current and potential customers to gauge interest in possible expansions to the product line or preferred versions of new product packaging; for B2B clients, we use SurveyMonkey to do occasional check-ins with customers to make sure their needs/our services are aligned, and also to get feedback on events to make them more impactful the next time around.
- Intuitive survey-building interface with many possible question types
- Allows to pay for targeted survey respondents if you don't have audience already
- Multiple methods for distributing services, makes easy to disseminate
- Not enough on the design-customization side to fully brand surveys in the way you'd always want to
- Pricing models are not always well-fitted to business needs or company size
- Customer service can be subpar

We mainly use SurveyMonkey throughout the organization to carry out surveys where everyone participates and contributes their personal opinion on various issues that concern us in general, regarding the organization of work and commercial plans. With surveys, we revolutionize the way we collect information, it is now more effective, speeding up data collection and processing. Now with the COVID-19, we can do remote work and be able to follow up on employee and customer feedback.
- It is fairly affordable with respect to the features it offers.
- I can create as many survey quantities as I want without limitations.
- It also provides a wide variety of tools to configure and customize forms, with several languages available, predesigned templates and different text formats that make the experience more comfortable.
- It has a limitation in the integrations of applications.
- It needs a more interactive interface, its structure is somewhat boring.
- The file formats that can be added to surveys are few.

SurveyMonkey? I don't see why not
We have used SurveyMonkey on many occasions within our organization. The biggest purpose we use SurveyMonkey is to get a general vote on an idea, activity, etc. and we want to send it out to the team while keeping the votes anonymous. Examples of when we have used it is to determine where we should do our summer or holiday party, when we do fun superlative games within the office, or when we are decided on heavier topics within the office and want a general idea of what the team would like while maintaining their confidentiality.
- It does a great job by tailoring what you use it for, whether it's in college to do a survey for a project, see what the team wants to do for activities in the workplace, or even propose a new change to the company and get an idea of how people will react to this.
- I love that the answers provided by the users remain anonymous, this allows you to get an accurate answer.
- SurveyMonkey can be used in so many ways and I think so many people can use it for a variety of reasons, it'd be interesting to see how else they can grow into a new space.
- When waiting for results, since it is anonymous it doesn't tell you who has not completed the survey. If there was a way for it to constantly be in your inbox to prompt the person to complete it quickly, that'd be great.

SurveyMonkey is being used by our team to create surveys and deploy them on other channels. They use it for collecting data for various types of research being done for diverse industries. Since SM is such a complete and flexible tool it makes it very convenient to be applied in many industries and situations.
- Lots of question types and customization.
- AI to rate your survey quality.
- Bad support.
- Lack of white labeling regarding domain names.

- Question types are clear and easy to navigate.

SurveyMonkey Saves Time & Saves Sanity
SurveyMonkey was used to develop and distribute surveys that we would us to gather, feedback, data, opinions and many other data types in order to conduct research and analyst for a myriad of companies. We also used SurveyMonkey to get quick insights of opinions on internal questions as well.
- Intuitive Survey design
- Data Collection
- Survey Distribution
- Would be nice to have some more customization options
- More data field yypes
- More security options

It can do all we need in our surveys and more. Worth using if surveying is important in your organization.
Used mainly internally to survey usage and satisfaction with the organization's system, mainly around training and knowledge. Also, from time to time, to survey customers satisfaction.
- Easy to build from scratch, the wizard approach takes you through steps.
- Easy to collect answers: a really easy way to distribute the survey as needed.
- Quick analysis as responses are sent because managers want 'early results,' so having the statistics nicely ready right away is good.
- UI is too loaded; there's a mix of the functions, "added value" info (like tips and benchmark data) and upgrades offered.
- Speed of the site could be better. Not that it is extremely slow, but if work a lot with the site, it might be painful.
- Although the wizard approach for building surveys A-Z is great, it would also be great to have a shortcut to build and send short "quick and dirty" surveys.

You Will Be Bananas for SurveyMonkey!
We use SurveyMonkey to collect data for our annual goals and objectives assessment. This software is easy to use and provides clear survey analysis while providing visually pleasing charts. By being web-based, we can access our data from any location. Many departments across our campus use SurveyMonkey for data collection.
- Ease of use.
- A wide variety of question types.
- Can easily import email addresses.
- The basic plan eliminated the option to export data. This should be free.
- There needs to be a more cost-effective option for small businesses.

The best way to create surveys
I have used SurveyMonkey for almost a year. I had heard some friends talk about it, but the first time had not paid much attention. Then on another occasion I was with them asking them for some way to be able to have more contact with the visitors of my web page (at that time I had a page about literature) and to be able to know in a better way what things should improve and also get their opinions about some classic terror. My first experience with the product was very good. The truth is that I had been looking for videos and reading about this platform, so I had no problem creating my account and conducting my first survey. Currently I still use it, and although I no longer have my literature web page (I do not have much time), I have a friend who is working in an independent publishing house in South America and he is also a writer, so I help him to viralize the sketches of covers or some new novels, and with SurveyMonkey you can do a small survey to know what people think about these topics.
- It is very easy to create and modify surveys, you just have to make some clicks to be able to configure it and give it a personal touch.
- The program tabulates and gives results automatically, so you should not break your head to create graphics.
- If you are looking to make some simple surveys, you can use the free version without problem, which is really good since not everyone has money to invest in these programs.
- Nothing in particular.

Survey Monkey in the Hospital world
Department-specific client satisfaction surveys. In this case, the performance and needs of the Medical Conference and Education Center at Children's Hospital Colorado. Polling satisfaction with our services such as Video Conferencing, A/V Support, training opportunities for large event, and CME planning.
- The options for question-types.
- Reports for data-gathering.
- QR code.
- Logic questions are not as user-friendly.

Serves the Basic Needs of Most Businesses
SurveyMonkey is mostly used by the marketing department to send out post-event surveys and product surveys. Other team members have access to SurveyMonkey as well to view the results of different surveys. The business problem that SurveyMonkey solves is that it gives us a way to collect and measure customer feedback so we can assess how we're doing in different areas. It also helps us collect information on our customers.
- SurveyMonkey makes it really easy to create surveys and structure different questions. There's a good variety of different question types to select from.
- The workflow of the survey builder makes a lot of sense and is very user-friendly. You don't need to be super tech savvy to use the platform.
- I've been impressed with the reporting features that SurveyMonkey provides. It has multiple chart types to select from to view the survey responses. It also lets you export all the results as a CSV.
- The design capabilities in SurveyMonkey are pretty limited. The templates they provide aren't great.
- The survey logic flow could be better. If you want to use conditional logic in your survey you need to have all questions on their own pages. I prefer Qualtrics in this sense.
- A lot of the main things you need require an upgrade, such as adding a logo to the survey. So any brand hoping to use SurveyMonkey will definitely need to upgrade their plan.

Surveying Customers
We utilize SurveyMonkey for a variety of surveys we conduct, but mainly for our large spring survey. This program is being utilized specifically by CCR&R. SurveyMonkey allows for us to survey a wide number of providers in order to collect data for the following year.
- A strength for SurveyMonkey is that it is very user friendly. If one should become stuck in an area, the guides that are provided work nicely.
- Allowing for a large number of participants to be mailed at once is a huge plus.
- Being able to offer providers a link directly, being FB friendly, is a HUGE plus for our business.
- I truly feel there is room for improvement around the cost associated with an account. We are a 100% nonprofit, do not raise any type of funds, operating solely on a grant. Providing a deep discount for nonprofits like myself would get you further word of mouth than a review.

Surveys with Survey Monkey
Surveymonkey was used for internal evaluations. The surveys were analyzed to make research management improvements. The option of anonymity allowed us to receive additional comments for improvements. The free version was used and it allowed us basic data analysis. Exporting the data however was not free. We had to convert it to PDF for sharing purposes.
- Easy to create an account and set up your survey
- Provides options for survey responses
- Easy to share survey for responses via emails
- Anonymous responses can be collected
- Free version works well for basic creating survey, collection of data and analysis
- You can track the progress of the survey
- Exporting data in the free version
- Does not allow collaborations
- Questionnaire is limited to 10 questions

SurveyMonkey is a Leader.
Surveymonkey is the kind of web-service that suits everyone. We are currently using SurveyMonkey in our organization, especially by marketing and information technology departments, but I want to talk about my experience. I am individually using SurveyMonkey for collect responses from my staff and from clients. SurveyMonkey is the best survey app. It works so smoothly. And you can create your surveys quickly and you can share them in the way you like. The functions and tools are so useful.
- So simple.
- Quickest way to create surveys.
- Friendly customer service.
- Extra question types would be nice.
- Features leads to add graphic stuff like videos.
- There is no way to change your font type.

My experience with SurveyMonkey
Surveymonkey is used by several students because of its ease of use. So support is hardly needed from our support department. Teachers and professors mostly use another application for surveys and examination.
Focus on privacy is an issue. In the free account, SurveyMonkey privacy is not guaranteed. In those cases, our company suggests using the business application for surveys.
- Create new surveys.
- Layout is pretty good.
- The different question types make a survey more beautiful.
- For more depth, more questions should be available in one survey.
- Also for more depth, more question types should be available.
- The limit of survey responses should be higher.
