SnapSurveys vs. Sogolytics

We would recommend this product to others and it really does fit the needs of the virtual world and still meets the needs of those that need to complete paper. It really is a happy middle place as it works either way. Again, the interface is user-friendly and the ability to do surveys offline is great.

We use Sogosurvey to obtain feedback from course candidates after they have attended a course. This is invaluable to us as the candidates can complete the feedback in their own time after the course is completed rather than them having to do it while attending the course. We also use SoGoSurvey to get feedback from our volunteer instructors who work for other organizations and at different hours so the ability for them to complete the surveys in their own time is invaluable.

• Snap has wonderful vast functionality. I love showing off it's latest new features!
• As well as online surveys, you can produce mobile, paper and kiosk versions with Snap.
• You can run surveys in multiple languages (including double-byte such as Japanese and Chinese) and analyze all the results together.
• Smart reporting is definitely worth checking out if you have multiple tailored reports to produce over time.
• Their support people are extremely professional and knowledgeable.
• Their worksheets (available on their website) are invaluable and very well written.
• Their Research Department, staffed by guru users of the software, can provide additional resource for a fee.

• SoGoSurvey makes it easy to create a survey even for the novice. I recently gave a spare license to a peer and they were able to easily develop a survey. I offered my help if she had any questions but she said that she'd definitely ask but "... I already love that I can change the answer format with the drop down. It's the best. "
• Customer support. I 'chat' with support personnel when I need to use a feature I haven't used. They are always quick to respond and answer my questions thoroughly. I can get the complete chat via email for future reference as well.
• Keeping clients up-to-date. SoGoSurvey regularly hosts free training and best practices webinars that keeps the basics at the forefront and shares best practices.
• The canvas (survey metrics) is easy to create and very versatile in summarizing the survey results.

• Difficulty of use: Since the software has such sophistication, using all the features requires a very detailed understanding which takes a lot of time and effort.
• Tiering of features: The licensing model is a bit unclear and not the easiest to understand.

• Providing users the ability to follow along a specific question example (eg. placeholder text in questions that users can see what the answer might look like)
• Better media management and implementation (eg. placing images/videos/gifs/etc. as standalone assets in the survey)
• Making the images added into a survey responsive to the screen they are being viewed on (eg. any images added to a survey do not adjust to the size of the screen, consequently showing up very small on mobile/tablet view)
• Exporting the survey to Word looks horrible - we'd love if the survey could be exported the way it looks when live into a similar-looking Word document or template

Though there are many aspects of the product I enjoy and are very useful, it needs to be updated a bit. When using the software you can see that a lot of time was spent on the backend of things, such as the included questions. However, you can see that the way in which it is put together and how it looks did not receive as much attention. I really would enjoy something that is more aesthetically pleasing and not something that looks like it predates 1999

We find SoGo Survey to be easy to use and very respsonsive to our needs

I think as an organization there is always room to grow, however, this application has really helped us with our dilemma with offline, online, and paper surveys. We are able to make our surveys fun and engaging and the interface for the person creating the survey is user-friendly. Customer service is very helpful if you need additional support.

Very easy to use. My only challenge was the features offered in their Plus package didn't offer everything I would have liked (e.g. branching). The other area for improvement would be to allow an easier transition between Tracking and Reports.

I had an issue whereby I used a free trial that ended, locking me out of my account. I contacted their customer service to help with this issue, which they resolved in under half an hour. I was extremely impressed with their speed and quality of service, which led me to filling out this review!

Since I have invested so much time in this program and have been using SNAP Surveys since around 1990, I honestly have not focused that much on other competing software programs. The little bit that I have seen is that some popular web-survey programs (like Survey Monkey) may have nice looking front end features but limited analysis capabilities and SPSS has strong analysis capabilities but is not a strong questionnaire designer.

In summary, Sogolytics has proven to be the perfect fit for our pre and post-test assessments. Its seamless integration, efficient data collection, and powerful reporting capabilities have significantly improved our ability to track and communicate the impact of our programs. We highly recommend Sogolytics to organizations looking for a reliable and user-friendly data management solution.
