Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Cons
  • 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.

Alternatives Considered
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.
