Qualtrics - Ideal Survey Tool For Research
Overall Satisfaction with Qualtrics
Graduate students across UT Austin have access to Qualtrics. Many faculty and students use it for internal and external research. Surveys are often a critical part of the research process.
Pros
- The tool is very easy to learn and incredibly powerful.
- Optionality is key: you can design almost any kind of survey.
- The customer support is quick, knowledgeable and polite.
Cons
- Some of the more specialized survey design options are not as intuitive as most of the tool.
- Link customization of surveys is somewhat limited.
- It allows professional, confidential surveys... which are critical for academic research. I am not sure how one can put a value on that.
- Survey Monkey and Google Forms
Other than the price (Qualtrics is not free), it is far superior to any alternatives I have used. It has more options, looks more professional and offers data confidentiality and controls others do not.
