Incredible survey tool that can be customised as per your need

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm using Typeform primarily for user surveys, gathering feedback on initial beta releases of the products or capturing NPS surveys. From the business perspective, the idea is to increase the number of survey respondents so that our users can share their thoughts without feeling overwhelmed. We wanted a tool where we can quickly set up the survey and go live asap. Typeform does tick all our use cases, and I've been using this for the last few years across different companies.

Pros

  • Capture user data through hidden fields via URL parameters
  • It absolutely increases the number of respondents of form by providing intuitive design to end users and asking one question at a time
  • Easy way to customise the Thank you page where you can share more details with respondents.

Cons

  • Individual and specific survey types can be improved. For eg NPS surveys or something that's captured regularly from same set of users. Like we use to take NPS survey every 3 months from set of clients, later we wanted to compare the improvements from previous surveys which we were not able to do it on Typeform and moved to another tool.
  • Survey data & insights also have some scope of improvements

Return on Investment

  • I'd also like to mention the improvement in respondents. Once we moved to Typeform from Google Form, our completion rate increased by more than 20%, which was huge.
  • CSAT Surveys data captured for CS agents helped us in improving productivity of agents by understanding areas to focus and celebrating the wins.
  • In one of the organisation, user research data captured through Typeform literally helped us in sharing our product features over time

Great start weak finish.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Typeform to capture customer feedback for AB testing, new feature requests, and product flows, among other purposes. Surveys are sent within specific product flows to gauge users' opinions and determine their preferences between different flow options. The CX team uses Typeform to capture user feedback for particular user actions, and some NPS-related feedback operations were also driven using this tool.

Pros

  • The transition from one question to another is seamless, i.e., the UI is excellent.
  • Capturing data into a sheet for easy computation.
  • Building forms is very intuitive and has low learning curve.

Cons

  • Pricing needs to be worked on.
  • Cannot view other questions like on Google forms.
  • Reports need improvement.

Return on Investment

  • Since specific user flows were not built into our system, we used Typeform to capture user data for updation.
  • Surveys led to changes in UX on our app.
  • User interviews were also conducted to gather more insights.

  • fast approach
  • UX

Cons

  • Customizability
  • custom Javascript for hacking the formsq
  • Custom CSS for hacking stylings of single objects

Great to kick-off your acquisition journey in a few simple steps.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Onboarding journey to acquire customers. After the landing page, we use Typeform to ask questions, sign up, and then purchase. At some point, we migrated most of our traffic to Heyflow because of the better UI and UX capabilities, at least back when we switched. Now we use Typeform for cancellation flows.

Pros

  • Visualisation of questionnaire logics.
  • Very simple to use.
  • Basic but converting UX.

Cons

  • UI and UX improvements.
  • Make customizable to change the layout of page.
  • At least, introduce much more UX customization options.

Return on Investment

  • Very good at kicking off and scaling the acquisition journey.
  • Very good for conversion rates compared to in-house solutions.
  • Bad at UX customization of the layouts.

Good for creating quick beautiful surveys

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Typeform to collect survey responses for customer research and content marketing

Pros

  • The final survey look and feel is the best I have seen compared to other tools
  • Can use conditional logic to change the questions presented to respondents based on previous responses
  • Creating questions on the backend and customizing the look of it is easy

Cons

  • When you first use the tool it can be difficult to understand how to use it. Not as intuitive as Google Forms
  • Figuring out how to embed the form can be tricky
  • I don't like that all forms by default show the questions one by one or the staggered format. I would like for it to have the option to show multiple fields/questions at the same time rather than taking the respondent through one by one

Return on Investment

  • Compared to Google Forms, Typeform is more beautiful so it has helped improve our brand image when we send it out
  • Typeform has helped save time
  • Typeform has helped us improve brand awareness by helping us collect original research for reports
