While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Straight up SCAM

Straight up SCAM. I spend over an hour creating a survey for my thesis just to be told that I have to PAY to be able to share it AFTER spending all the time creating it. Also why the hell would I pay 432€ per year for surveys??

Easy Mechanism for Learning Outcomes

It is an easy mechanism to provide quizzes to my students. It allows for a comprehenive review of questions that may be on their final exams. I can also monitor if a student is not hitting the benchmarks for the learning expectations and outcomes.

Love the Ease, Crave the Power

It would be helpful if SurveyMonkey offered a better 'widget' for card sorting - Something more similar to Qualtrics. I would also love it if there was a way to pipe text responses into the matrix question type.

Both easy and sophisticated

it's super easy to use for basic things, but also allows for professional sophistication when I need it. I just wish they had a different name: it's difficult to convince clients that SurveyMonkey and Qualtrics are equally productive, given that one has a tech-pharma-sounding name and the other sounds like it was made up by drunk frat kids.

Easy to use

Easy to use, very intuitive. A bit pricey at the lowest level. Also would be nice to have a good option for finish confirmation without cost.
