Overall Satisfaction with SurveyMonkey

As a consultant to nonprofit organizations, I use Survey Monkey to gauge stakeholder opinions on controversial issues like homelessness. I use the product to design and solicit participation in online opinion polling.
  • It's easy to use. The process of writing, editing, and formatting surveys is extremely fun.
  • It allows for easy mailing out of questionnaires to respondents through either links or direct mailing. It can manage products for you.
  • It makes analysis of results amazingly easy and creates appealing graphics.
  • My biggest problem is customer service. I made an error. I purchased an expensive option - cross tabs - at $900 and realized (too late) that I didn't need it. When I tried to get my money back and "return" the product, I was greeted with no sympathy. They said, "You signed the agreement."
  • While I find their product useful, the cost is prohibitive for more advanced features.
  • [I feel like] they ripped me off! $900 down the drain...

It's a great product. [I believe] its customer service is cruel and heartless.
[I believe] they are horrible.
Survey monkey is great. However, they cost me $900 for something I didn't need. It was my error, but they didn't make any allowance or accommodation. [I believe] they were heartless and rude.
