Review Of Survey Monkey For Online Surveys
Although Survey Monkey is far and away the most popular online survey tool, it is now competing against a host of similar tools, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. This review will take a look at the web based survey tool as it compares to other solutions, both for personal and business use.
In some ways, Survey Monkey has improved significantly over the past few years,. However, many of the complaints that have been lodged against it remain relevant. For example, although some new reporting features have been added, the ability to statistically analyze your data within the Survey Monkey interface remains fairly weak. You will have to export the data to understand what is really going on with it.
The speed and ease of use of Survey Monkey has always been a unique selling point, and it is still a very quick and responsive web app. However, the interface has not been kept up to date with the newer innovations in web development. As a consequence, the online survey creation interface feels old and unintuitive.
Newer tools like the ActiveCampaign Survey Software package allow you to drag and drop your questions around the page to reorganize them, and this is the kind of interaction that we have come to expect from web tools. To go back to clicking a series of buttons in order to rearrange questions feel like a big, and uncomfortable step back.
There is also the issue that Survey Monkey doesn’t seem to really be well-suited to any particular use. Twenty bucks a month is fairly steep for personal use, but the software simply doesn’t deliver the robustness that business or academic researchers would require from an online survey app. The result is that Survey Monkey is ultimately unsatisfying even though it’s actually a pretty nice tool overall. At this time, we recommend using an alternate solution.
