Usability

The feature sets, agility, and flexibility remain approachable and incredibly powerful. Support is also very responsive and top notch. Overall, with a bit of basic foundational skills, there are seemingly an unlimited number of use cases for which Alchemer can be leveraged.

Support Rating

Every once in awhile, it is necessary to solicit support. On those occasions, support is extremely responsive and supportive. It has been my experience that [if] they can't walk you through the desired endpoint, they will take a look at your build and remedy for you.

Likelihood to Recommend

Alchemer is one of the most flexible offerings in its category. We find new ways to leverage Alchemer year over year. For more advanced forms and surveys, it is useful to have some foundational skills to better conceive and style your solutions. That is a small trade off in exchange for the capability and flexibility it provides. In the absence of [these] foundation skills, a more pedestrian solution may be [better] suited to one's needs.

Flexible and extremely capable platform
