SurveyMonkey really excels in the survey design aspect of the surveying process. They have so many different question types that you can use to create your questions. The analytics and reporting are basic but ok for those wanting simple insights into their survey answers. Their free plan should suffice for any business that needs the fundamentals of surveying - i.e. survey builder, sharing, and viewing answers.
For growing technology-based companies, Zendesk Sunshine is the best ally to provide email and chat support. It supports various integrations and can provide exceptional service that is fully customizable for both the customer and the agents using Zendesk. It is not appropriate for small companies, and for companies with a very small customer base, it is a considerable expense after a customer base of at least 10,000 customers.
SurveyMonkey's survey programming features are extremely intuitive. Someone who has never used it before can, with little direction or training, easily set up a simple - or comprehensive - survey in a matter of minutes.
Real-time reporting and analytics tools are extremely helpful to keep everyone involved informed on an ongoing basis.
Virtually any kind of question or answer format can be programmed into your SurveyMonkey survey.
I think it's becoming pushed to the back-burner as more survey sites come out - it needs to come up with something to keep it more relevant as other survey sites are being more widely used.
Give more options to customize the look of your survey.
Compared to other competitors in the market (including a few I've used internally), if you're looking for a survey application, this one does the job and it's quite inexpensive too. Considering the fact that it comes with a handy mobile application too (on iOS and Android), you also get flexibility thrown in the deal too.
SurveyMonkey should suffice for most simple use cases to collect responses or feedback from clients. The templates that they offer are helpful as well as the guidance on question formulation. If you just need a stand alone software to distribute and collect surveys, then SurveyMonkey will meet your needs.
Because it is a tool that we use on a daily basis and has provided confidence for the massive use that is given to it, it has also been the expected product, allowing customization and optimizing processes, saving us a lot of money and time. Definitely, the ability to track customers and the way to automate all customer support processes becomes totally easy and intuitive.
I haven’t used the support function yet, but I have had colleagues that have and the issues they’ve faced have been resolved super quickly. They also have said the support people they have come in contact with have been extremely friendly. Those two things are what made me choose my rating
Due to the implementation and the few issues that ha In summary, there are few times that we have had to use this functionality, but the help that Zendesk has provided has been of another level, complying with our standards and SLAs so as not to interfere in the operation or processes.ve arisen, it is a platform that provides a fast, intuitive and tailor-made service for each user.
Outside of creating our own surveys, no other tools have been used outside of SurveyMonkey. I have heard of a few others but would not be able to provide an honest opinion due to my lack of experience working with them.
