Jotform vs. Qualaroo Insights

With a vast selection of pre-designed templates to choose from, ranging from event registrations to customer feedback surveys, JotForm caters to a broad spectrum of needs. Each template is fully customizable, allowing you to align the form's aesthetics with your brand identity effortlessly. JotForm has arrived to streamline and elevate your processes to a whole new level.

It makes it easy to move from design to development. We collect highly targeted feedback without organizing a meeting to discuss every iteration, saving time and effort. The comments are open-ended and unorganized. But with survey Nudges, we can ask additional questions about design UI/UX.

• The ease of use is my favorite part of the Jotform. You don't have to be an IT guru to use it, but the results of your creation will surely make people think you are.
• Jotform keeps all my event request organized and accurate.
• Editing forms is done with ease.

• It helped to develop a more focused approach towards customer discovery.
• We can create any survey in minutes and deploy it to collect feedback to understand customers’ expectations and fears. We then channel this data into our optimization strategies.
• We receive hundreds of responses each day, and Qualaroo reduces the feedback analysis time with its inbuilt AI-based analytical tool, helping us close the feedback loop quickly.

• I would love for Jotform to offer an a la carte for some of the products like maybe we pay for more form views and submissions but not all the other stuff.
• Flexibility in css.
• More options in the name field, maybe I want the last name first or for it to be a full one entry box.
• A phone number entry field.

• They could expand their templates to cover more scenarios (although it has been a long time since we needed their templates - we develop our own questionnaires tailored to our clients’ geographies).
• On the other hand, there are way too many options in the targeting section, but we have gotten used to skipping past them while creating surveys. Perhaps that’s more for companies who target wide audiences. We only collect client feedback, so we don’t really use ‘targeting’ as such.

It's exceptional software

The micro-survey landscape is evolving very quickly and it seems like there is a new entrant almost every month. I'm generally happy with Qualaroo (we got what we expected) and I like the folks on the Qualaroo team (support is fast and friendly and rarely needed), but there haven't been real improvements to the platform in the last eight months. We will be re-assessing Qualaroo's features and price versus other competitors when our current contract is up.

It is very user-friendly and intuitive. The interface is very simple and straightforward. The elements are easily accessible even without having any prior knowledge of the interface. The customer support is incredibly awesome. They respond to you within 24-48hrs tops. They also provide a list of questions and answers that have already been asked.

We know the value of consumer feedback and believe that users actually want to be a part of the process. With Qualaroo, we have learnt that people like answering certain types of questions, especially if you ask them something about themselves — like what they want most and their motivations behind purchases — they can’t resist typing a response.

I've never experienced an outage where Qualaroo was unavailable. I don't think I've even gotten notices for scheduled down/maintenance time. The platform is always available.

Our developers complain that Qualaroo is just one of several similar site add-ons that slow down our site performance. I'm skeptical that Qualaroo has any measurable impact on our page load times, but don't have any hard evidence either way. The Qualaroo admin interface and reporting mechanisms are all quick and reliable.

Their support is truly awful and negligent [in my opinion]. It's rare for me to get so mad as to write a review about it but given what we do, I think it's necessary to document it. We work in mental health and having client data [transmitted] through the API correctly can be a matter of life and death for someone in crisis. We have had repeated issues with this in JotForm and reset the integration multiple times and yet it continues. [In my experience] tags don't transmit, complete contacts are absent, or parts of data [are] missing despite being mapped. [Again, per my experience] their support will initially respond and then you hear nothing. It's been a huge issue and we are leaving them as a result. [I feel] it's truly infuriating and negligent.

I have only contacted customer support twice, and they have managed to solve my problem every time. There is a slight waiting time between the query and resolution, but other than that I don’t need to contact them time and again to understand things since their help section is sufficient most of the time.

Not available for the Pro edition.

Qualaroo doesn't offer full-blown online training, at least not that I've used or needed. The online help documentation is adequate and Qualaroo-sponsored webinars are informative.

Had to opt for Jotform to open in a separate window for some of my phones as being intergrated into my own site caused restricted viewing problems on some devices like mobiles.

Have your technical team set up the "Identify" feature right out of the gate - this is a "fire and forget" feature. Once it's set up, your data is much more valuable. Also, if there are very specific kinds of page targeting you might imagine doing, have a technical person set up and test at least 2-3 examples of using Qualaroo's regular expression features to achieve this targeting. With a couple good examples in place to work from, it becomes much easier to create your own regular expressions for custom targeting.

Compared to Google and Microsoft, Jotform has a lot more features. I particularly love the e-signature because it makes the form feel more trustworthy for our team.

When compared to the other form builders, it is frankly too expensive for us to use them, while Jotform has just enough features for casual users like us.

We decided to go with Qualaroo because it offered the ability to capture UTM data, as well as sent event information back to Google Analytics. In addition, the services Qualaroo provided was just right - not too many bells and whistles at a fair price point. Overall, Qualaroo was the right fit for us.

Qualaroo's simplicity has its down sides when it comes to scaling. Managing multiple nudges across multiple domains, at least in the Pro edition, is challenging. The active nudges all appear as a single list on the admin home page, automatically grouped by domains. Archived nudges are on a separate tab. It would be helpful to have a folder system to organize nudges. Also, once you have multiple active nudges that are targeted to different sections of your site using regular expressions, it's difficult to keep track of what is appearing where. It's also difficult, if not impossible, to figure out where you may have competing nudges. And there's no ability to assign reporting or configuration access to other members of your team. The Pro edition has a single login, which must be shared if you have multiple staff who want to use Qualaroo.

• It saved me time. Within minutes I was able to create and share forms to collect demographic data.
• While struggling to use another software, I thought of Jotform and it was able to assist me with collating the data I had to confirm results previously obtained.
• I could not easily identify what new information was provided in a resubmission by a respondent.

• Qualaroo gives us the insights we need to answer specific questions, connect with our customers, and in general feed ideation during early stages of product discovery.
• The speed with which our product R&D teams can go from 0 to getting usable data is highly valuable to us. We operate and move quickly, so our tools must be self-serve and easy to use in order to be viably added to our team’s development process. Qualaroo is like that, so we have been sticking with it. In less than 5 minutes, teams can go from having almost entirely opinion-backed ideas to having ones that are data-backed by targeted customer feedback. This step in the discovery process makes us more efficient and increases the chance that the experiments we run will yield a positive impact.
• Understanding and anticipating customer needs is the backbone of our product development strategy. All our employees are encouraged to identify and address these needs in some way as part of their jobs. We have an in-house feedback collection process that also runs on Qualaroo to see what our collaborative minds can think of.
