Using SurveyMonkey for a small, non-profit organization was easy. Gathering information and taking polls has never been so easy! It was tough before to send out information and find out exactly what the patrons wanted money to go towards, as well as keeping the employees in tune by sending out a monthly questionnaire asking how the the business should run. We were able to make various changes which were key to making the non-profit successful, and to add more patrons to the mix.
  • Easy to use, set up surveys, etc. The overall structure of the software is A+ for someone brand new to it, or someone who is advanced.
  • With the Professional edition you can send out as many polls or questionnaire that you need to, no limitations.
  • Help is always an e-mail or call away, customer support is very helpful and keep SurveyMonkey going!
  • The free SurveyMonkey is great, it just has limitations. Maybe provide a free trial of the Professional edition to show users what they are missing!
  • Add a few more analytics to the mix for running reports.
SurveyMonkey is great for internal company use. Most companies with 1000+ seats need to make sure their employers are satisfied. A weekly (or monthly) poll or survey can find out where changes might need to be made. The use of the analytic tools is great, because you are able to run reports and find out results quickly. Using SurveyMonkey for smaller companies may not be worth the Professional edition, but that is why the free edition is so great too!
  • SurveyMonkey can improve customer service. Finding out what the customer wants is one way SurveyMonkey can improve a business. It's like a satisfaction card in a restaurant, only virtually!
  • Some people choose to ignore the polls or surveys, therefore, you may not be getting the whole picture, just part of it.
  • SurveyBuilder
SurveyMonkey is hands down the easiest product to use for surveys, polls, and questionnaires. The user interface is bar-none, and other software just does not stack up against them. Customer service wise is also a home run. They appear to be eon's better than the competition as they respond usually within 2 hours of an inquiry being sent in.
Renewing SurveyMonkey is a no-brainer, especially if you are in the field of any sort of communication. Running a business effectively means you need to make sure that everyone is satisfied, from the customer to the employees who make the company GO. Renewing also makes it easier that you can do it right there on the website, and you are notified well in advance that the subscription is coming due.

  • The system is extremely user friendly and very easy to navigate. Past surveys are all listed on your homepage, including the title of the survey, number of responses, and last date of modification.
  • Favorite features include the ability to customize survey design, customize survey URL's, and the ease of reporting. The ability to email the survey to recipients is available directly from the system. Our department has not used this feature simply to avoid having a survey caught in a recipient's SPAM filter.
  • Comment/feedback fields of a survey are difficult to analyze following survey closure (cluttered and fall at the end of a survey's report).
  • We are easily able to analyze survey results to better training sessions, webinars, and conferences for our attendees overall.
Plain and simple: SurveyMonkey does exactly what we need.
We look forward to our continued use of SurveyMonkey. The product works very well for our department.
  • We utilize SurveyMonkey regularly, issuing surveys to attendees of training sessions, webinars, and conferences. The results are analyzed following the closure of each survey and used to better training sessions, webinars, and conferences year to year.
We did not have a survey software prior to SurveyMonkey.
We originally researched Zoomerang from word-of-mouth. A neighboring department currently utilizes Zoomerang, so we were able to work with them and observe the system first-hand, but felt that SurveyMonkey provided better reporting, was easier to use, and much easier to manage.
  • Implemented in-house
  • Self-taught
SurveyMonkey is extremely user friendly and very intuitive. Training, if any, would be minimal.
No
To date, we have not needed customer support. The system is very intuitive. If errors were to occur, they would most likely be user-based. To my knowledge, SurveyMonkey's customer support is free.
We have only worked with the customer support team when renewing our plan. The process is very easy and can be completed in less than 5 minutes.
