Alchemer vs. GetFeedback

Price to performance, Survey Gizmo is a great tool. There are a couple hiccups but it has a ton of features that you can't get from some of the SMB competition and it even rivals some of the Enterprise competition. If you are looking for a large scale surveying platform, it may be worth it to go with one of the more expensive, team-oriented enterprise versions, but if you're part of a mid sized enterprise or SMB team, SurveyGizmo is worth it.

It is great to standardize under a single survey tool. Because it integrates so well into Salesforce it is very useful if your business lives and breathes in SFDC. It's helpful if you have a lot of surveys you are sending at different points in the customer lifecycle. You will need to have your own email delivery tool to really take advantage of when you are engaging a customer.

• Streamlines the survey process and provides quality data.
• Provides a wide variety of question types and filtering options in order to ensure the proper questions are being asked.
• Better improves outcomes for constituents/patients.
• Easy to edit and reformat questions as desired.
• Easy to navigate, export data, and create reports.

Incentivized

• The way it works with Salesforce CRM and how you can create dashboards and reports based from criteria gathered in GetFeedback.
• Customisable features are a big plus - allows you to choose what kind of question you want to ask.
• Very easy to use interface and so easy to assemble a survey within minutes.

Incentivized

• Advanced logic - more difficult than what it should be. If I'm piping answers to another question, I shouldn't have to create a lengthy logic script for it to perform (this is just with advanced logic).
• Too "bubbly" of a template - I didn't like the clouds so I had mine switched to a more basic format.
• Accounts - should be able to create different accounts for different users and separate the surveys based on the user.

Incentivized

• Survey submissions can notify only one email address so if you need individual responses to go to another individual you have to either set-up Salesforce workflows/email alerts or auto-forward rules in the email inbox
• Salesforce integration and sync is great and usually reliable but occasional record ID changes cause a failure in a survey response to sync to Salesforce. GetFeedback has no way to notify the administrator of the record's failure to sync.
• Easier to sync all data to Salesforce and do survey reporting within Salesforce than within the GetFeedback user interface

We have just renewed our annual license. I don't think we could move the company backwards at this point

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.

It is incredibly straightforward to use. Setup time is hours to days. When it is up and running, you can forget it exists. The Lightning Platform integration then starts to provide many options around creative use of the tools. It becomes more about where you can extend to your hearts content. Lightning App developers will have a great time here.

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.

The few times, and I mean few, I have had to reach out to the support staff they were very helpful. I was also lucky enough to meet the developer at a users' conference. His willingness to hear what I had to say was impressive. After understanding his background coming from the CRM world I knew that he knew what we as users needed in the way of integration.

Our business team takes pride in immersing ourselves with the wide variety of survey-based platforms available. Much of our goal is recommending the proper people, processes, and technologies to our customers and many of those recommendations come from our own experience with the tools. SurveyGizmo fills an extremely valuable role within business analytics. It helps gain the voice of the customer (or end-user) while offering a wide-ranging functional platform for data gathering and organization. SurveyGizmo is up to the task when competing with other high-profile tools and is a fantastic business option for those looking for a proficient survey tool.

Satmetrix actually replaced GetFeedback, by SurveyMonkey at my previous company with a lot of objection from myself. The rationale was: wanted quicker survey deployment and better analytics, neither of which was solved by bringing in Satmetrix as the issues were architectural around the self-built IP and NOT GetFeedback, which did precisely what it could with the data it had. Much like other NICE products I have encountered, the synergy with Salesforce is labored and incredibly challenging to get up and running. There was a lot of heavy lifting to get the two platforms to work with each other and the sentiment that I got from Satmetrix was that it wanted to be the centre of the CX world and would be much happier if Salesforce didn't exist. This is great if you a company that is solely marketeers but terrible if you want to leverage and use the multifaceted capabilities of CX strategies.

• It has always delivered on all our business objectives. I think that the reason why it's a bit [more] expensive than other providers.
• It has helped us to optimize resources especially man hours involved in survey design.
• It has been a valuable partner in almost all [of] our uses.

• Our response rate for our lead qualifying survey has been hovering around 55%. That doesn't mean that they complete the entire thing, but at least we are getting some answers back. It also allows us to weed out any leads that are outside of our scope of work. The survey when answered in its entirety gets a lead 13 steps down our customer journey map.
• The automation of sending out the recruiting survey has allowed our recruiting manager to focus on qualified applicants and has completely eliminated the duplicate data entry of key information that the hiring managers required for determining if a candidate should be scheduled for a phone interview. Over the past year of using this survey we received 145 survey back. That is 145 manual emails that no longer had to be sent out by staff. You do the math on that time savings.
• The new hire training feedback has allowed internal trainers to understand how to better tailor each session to on-board future employees in a more effective manner. With over 33 different training modules you can imagine how intensive our on-boarding process can be and if we can understand what works and what doesn't this only adds to the effectiveness of each trainer.
