REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture)SurveyMonkey Apply

Our main use has been for research studies. It allows HIPPA compliant data collection with a vast amount of customization options, branching logic to keep collection clean, and validation to ensure data collected can easily be analyzed. We can send surveys to participants in between visits and use forms for in person visits where a staff member is collecting the information

I think SurveyMonkey is well suited in company meetings to see how well customers like a certain product or in staff meetings to see how well a new teaching method is doing in comparison to an old one. I honestly think that SurveyMonkey can be used in just about anywhere that customer or employee feedback is valued.

Cons
  • REDCap is generally the best app for public health and clinical trials for both the academia and for-profit organization. However it is poorly marketed much effort is placed on the academia side though organizations like the pharmaceuticals, hospitals, insurance etc., would be willing especially when they get hear about it.
  • REDCap needs to work on the user interface. It's kinda boring especially when designing surveys and when navigating for surveys
  • The FAQ must be shortened , sometimes the videos associated with FAQ seem long.

  • An average administration may not have the technical capabilities to adapt and shape it for themselves. While SurveyMonkey Apply has an option for tech support for a price, it is not something always easy for the admin.
  • There is no way to cross reference users by Social Security Number or other identifier. In other words, a single applicant with multiple email addresses could potentially apply and receive benefits as the users are tied to email address not email address and SSN.

Usability
It is very interesting to me especially that it meets all my needs. The libraries makes the job even much easier, since you can just make a few adjustments to the appropriate template chosen

SurveyMonkey Apply (formerly Fluid Review) is extremely user friendly, it speeds up the survey/forms creativity and design. Very reliable and trusted - it is the most popular and used by small organizations to large and well established businesses. You can easily opt for month to month options and that is why I choose SurveyMonkey (formerly FluidReview)

  • Positive Impact: allowed us to move to a more virtual office, just in time for COVID's forcing all to work from home/remotely.
  • Negative Impact: made it much harder to capture all data we need to merge with all applicants since organization created.
