Google Forms vs. Verint Voice of the Customer

Appropriate Scenarios

• Data collection
• Formative assessment
• Survey/questionnaire
• File uploads (Can be limited to particular sizes or file types).

Inappropriate Scenarios

• Lessons where you need instant feedback to answers rather than waiting for the whole form to be completed.
• File Uploads where not all of the users have Google accounts.

Verint Voice of the Customer is very well suited for measuring how satisfied (or dissatisfied) the customer base is in close to real time. Also well suited for identifying pain points across the experience. Not sure if the platform is well suited for measuring multiple interactions for a specified journey or a specific audience experiencing a specific journey

• Capture of information from clients and/or consultants for real-time analysis.
• Knowledge evaluation for our work team, the predefined templates allow the creation of tests and knowledge tests that are very didactic and easy to grade.
• The acquired data is cleanly integrated with google spreadsheets allowing for fast and accurate analysis.
• The form completion notifications are customizable and do their job well.

• Provides for a layered feedback strategy
• Allows for seemless integration with our CX tools to pair words with behavior
• Measures satisfaction

• Edit view limits the questions as seen by viewers. The view function is nice to toggle between to see what the question will look like, but the edit view of some questions (like checkboxes) is confusing for the editor.
• It would be wonderful to be able to assign responses to go to specific users. The user needs to go into the responses section and select the option to receive notifications, versus the owner of the form being able to do that.
• Having a dependency feature for questions (in addition to sections) would be very helpful, so that if a question is answered a certain way, another question appears.

• Integrating with Google Analytics did take several sessions with their support team, so that could use improving
• Needed additional assistance from their technical team because of the configuration
• Limited customization for standard deployment survey templates. Some reports are a bit outdated

I will definitely renew my use of Google Forms because I really like the ease of use and the number of tools that Google forms provide. I also love that I can administer a test in real-time and get results in a timely manner

The cost versus product is a good value, so it all depends on the customer's needs/wants, and of course, budget

The interface is simple and intuitive. The first time you use Google Forms, it has a built in tutorial that goes through all the basics. Most people can pick up how to use it with minimal support. There are some advanced features that require a bit more work but there are plenty of videos and directions online. Google has a great support section that is easy to follow

First and foremost It’s easy to use. The Visual dashboard is great and simple to navigate!! The amount of info is thorough and collected timely if not in real time . I have even used it to contact a customer about an experience they had. I was able to ask why they chose the ratings they did on the survey

In the years I've used GoogleForms I've never ran into any issues with the reliability or availability. Google is a gigantic company with essentially limitless resources which makes it very easy to trust that I will continue to be able to enjoy the same reliability I've come to know and expect from GoogleForms

One of the things that comes as a benefit of the lack to create complex logic branching and truly custom design is that there isn't lot of room to bog down the software. GoogleForms has always loaded just as fast as my internet service and device would allow it. I'm not sure about front end integrations or integrations into the form itself, as I've never explored it, but on the backend, I've never had any issues with integrations channeling from GoogleForms from the GoogleForms's end of things.

I have not had to use Google Forms support - it's always worked as expected. However, with other Google products, I've always been able to find a plethora of resources for answering questions or dealing with issues. The benefit of Google is how widely adopted its products are and how robust its support is.

Every support contact I have had, be it by email, live chat or phone, I have had my issue resolved very quickly, efficiently and professionally by a knowledgeable and well trained support team member. Having worked in technical support many years ago myself, I can appreciate the level of service and quality of support offered by Verint. I would, without hesitation, say that Verint offers one of the best support experiences out there.

Google Forms is easy to use and affordable. The biggest benefit, however, is that our organization already uses other Google products heavily. Because of this Google Forms was our top choice. Some smaller departments in our organization still use other solutions, such as SurveyMonkey, but as a whole it has been helpful to standardize on a single product.

OpinionLab is more popular than ForeSee with small companies and startups (1-50 employees), while Foresee is more suited for medium-sized companies (51-1000 employees) as well as with large to enterprise companies (1000+ employees). OpinionLab integrates with IBM Tealeaf and Digital Analytics, Salesforce Sales Cloud and FullStory, while Foresee integrates with Nebula CX and UserVoice. Depending on the size of your company and other platforms you need to integrate with it, let those help you decide which of these multi-channel customer experience analytics platform are best for your company.

GoogleForms lacks the ability for complex logic branching and the ability to truly design it in a custom manner. It's pretty obvious when you land on a GoogleForm that it is in fact a GoogleForm. This rating solely reflects the lack of flexibility which in turn makes it something that wouldn't usually be scaled. That being said, if needing to scale a simple solution, GoogleForms would be up for the job.

• Google Forms provides us a vehicle to gauge faculty and student response to our online courses and their features in real time so that we can keep our courses updated for students and faculty who facilitate them.
• Since Google is free, provides storage space, and provides Shared Drives (at least in our institutional account), using Google Forms helps us manage our data. We support over 400 courses with thousands of sections so Google Forms helps us manage the data coming out of these courses, mostly student and faculty feedback about what is working and what is not.
• We encourage our faculty to use Google Forms to survey their students for prior knowledge, for interest inventories, and the like. It's incredibly nimble and useful for collecting data quickly and presenting results in easy-to-understand charts and graphs.

Incentivized

• Collect data around our login experience where eventually we were able to release a GPE directing customers to utilize our virtual assistant
• Verbatim around the claims experience allowed us to update our Claims Status page to provide more detailed, transparent information to the customer around the status of their claim.
