Huge increased ability to canvass our existing client base, plus the potential to canvass a wider group. We can use this software for course/service/event feedback, to assess the demand for future courses/services, to understand how schools manage certain functions with a view to best-practice sharing opportunities. Surveys are far quicker for school personnel to complete than lengthy responses to emails or opening and completing email attachments. As such response rates have been vastly improved.
Customer service - quicker, more cohesive and proactive than other survey vendors we approached. The system is extremely easy to navigate and the option to use/view pre-populated questions was very useful. Data Output - the responses are very easy to read and quantify, meaning both at a glance and indepth analysis can be performed very quickly.
I'd perhaps like there to be more options for the background choices on the Pro version - as its designed for professional users I felt it would benefit from a greater range of choices. This was a minor complaint though !

It did exactly what we wanted it to do at a reasonable price. We even got a discount as a not-for-profit.
Easy to use, versatile, flexible and provision of useful and easily worked with statistics/data
Sometimes it was a little difficult to find some settings.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Ashwyn, your feedback is much appreciated :) Kind regards, Neil

Very positive
It has all the features necessary for academic research and it is flexible with its plans. This is especially important for students and individual academic researchers. Ans it's very easy to use and it gives a professional appearance to the survey.
I had no issues, except for not knowing how the program classified complete and incomplete surveys, so I had to write and the following morning I had the answer to my question.

Very Accessible visually and the navigation and editing functions are really user friendly. The team at SmartSurvey were really helpful, approachable and importantly can be contacted with ease.
Getting used to the system still and wanting to get more creative so need to understand how some of the functionality contributes to the overall impact of surveys. Would like to have option to download data directly in to powerpoint. To be honest this is really picky because you have to highlight cons on the review, but to be honest don't have any grumbles at all!

Easy to use despite loads of features - offers great value for money compared to other tools and has first class support.
Easy to use, great functionality and adding new features all the time. Multi-language support is great and the servers are in the UK so Safe Harbour isn't an issue.

The tool is very intuitive and easy to use. It has multiple functionalities, such as the ability to send via multiple methods and the integration with Salesforce. I also like the ability to create different tracking links for various target groups. The company staff are also very responsive, knowledgeable and helpful.
Perhaps the graphical displays of the results could be nicer

Very satisfied. Would highly recommend
Easy to use with lot of analytical features Cant save multiple views and cut data any way you want
Chart function is limited Vest to export to excel
Hi Danny, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review it's much appreciated. With regards to your feedback on charts, we have a whole new results and charts section currently in development so you should see a significant upgrade to that part of the platform in the next couple of months. A couple of highlights are: A new cleaner UI Being able to filter, save and share views Select different types of charts and customise them too. Many thanks, Neil

Once you had navigated through the web page the software was easy to use. There were the options of using question templates but you could also make your own. The graphical diagrams of the results enhanced the content of my dissertation.
It took a couple of attempts to navigate the website to create the questionnaire. To create diagrams, charts etc you are required to upgrade to get this facility.

the ease of creating surveys quickly and the ability to create and collect results very quickly which was convenient for me
i came across this site when doing my dissertation when i was weighing up my options on which platform to use, with this one i found that like some of the others it was one which is very simple and easy to use and gave the user a lot of control over the layout of the service and the format of the questions that can be asked and even as a beginner knew to this i was able to glide through the navigation and have a good play around with all of its features and found it was pretty easy to create services gather results and even export and downloa the results in different formats
sometimes you would like to format text of the questions for example if i wanted to bold something that was important for some reason i had a problem doing this and had to just leave it out but it just didnt work

My overall experience with SmartSurvey has been frictionless, allowing me to efficiently complete my work activities
The ease of use and the features such as analytical insights, alongside confidence that all of the data I am collecting is GDPR compliant
Nothing. The software is easy to use and customer support is available if required.
Hi Natasha, Thanks so much for your review. It's really pleasing to hear you have found the software easy to use and you have been happy with your experience overall. Kind regards, Neil

Struggled with other companies but found SmartSurvey easy to use and enjoyed the data tools with the pre-populated graphs. The after sales support was great too with somebody contacting me to check I was OK with the platform.
I needed a bit of guidance on the custom branding of the survey but soon got the hang of it.

Fantastic from start to finish.
It is very easy to use and set up. The different reports for looking at data is excellent.
Think it is expensive for a small primary school to use once or twice a year.

If you're needing to survey a group of people, this is a fantastic way to do so. Easy breezy.
I use this software when I need to send out short surveys to our committee members. It took me a bit to get the hang out creating the survey, but other than that it's been great.
It took me a but to figure it out. That might be a user error on my part, nothing wrong with the software.
Hi Teddy, Thank you for taking the time to review our software! We are really pleased to hear that it has been effective for you when distributing your surveys to a group of people. We are interested to hear a bit more about how you found its ease of use, and which parts you found not to be clear so that we can make strides to improve these for any future use. Thanks, SmartSurvey.

The need to upgrade to access all features such as exporting the data to excel, but this is entirely understandable.
We have used other survey platforms before, but have found that smart survey offers the best value and is very user friendly. A great way to gather data and feedback. We will continue to use their service.

I would say I had satisfactory experience with SmartSurvey overall, will definitely use SmartSurvey again in the future if required at work.
I used this software to create an online survey for my master's thesis. It was very easy to use and helped me creating an effective survey in a short period of time. I used the pro version so I used the data presentation tool to create graphs and pie-charts for the answers provided by the participants for each questions. I found that data export tool (5 Stars) very useful and effective.
Once I created the survey and launched it online, I realised that there could be certain changes needed in some of the questions. I could only change some questions whereas other questions weren't amendable. I didn't like that I was not able to make necessary changes to the questions.

Good. Ease of use and efficiency has hugely helped us respond quickly and gather data effectively.
This software is extremely easy to use and set up. Overall we're very happy with it.
The reporting and downloads could be improved, but perhaps are better with a higher package, we have the basic.
Hi Laura, Thanks so much for leaving a review your feedback is much appreciated. You will be pleased to hear that we currently have a new reporting interface in Beta which we hope will be released to all users soon. This will provide much-enhanced filtering capability and updated UI to the results section of the app. We are also working on new chart types and the ability to customise charts which we hope will launch in the next quarter. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review. Kind regards, Neil

Ability to easily survey our population groups and drill down on areas that are perceived to need improvement or are strengths
Good interface with attractive options for survey Very easy to set up and publish Give good information of analysis with good range of display and presentation options.
Very few. May benefit from a little more online help in setting up some aspects such as how to filter to receive specific information.

Allowed us to carry out one aspect of our pupil voice quickly and easily.
The user experience is excellent - it was very straightforward to create a form, preview it, test it and then extract the results. Every type of form field I wanted was available and the interface made it easy to create the forms I wanted. Support was excellent too - there's a good FAQ available but if not, support replied usually on the same day and often within a couple of hours.
Storing the forms in the folder structure needs a bit of work. At the moment I can only have one folder level - at least two levels of nested folders would make it easier to keep things in order. I have put this in as a feature request.

It was great to be able to survey the school quickly
Easy to create rules such as if answer yes on question 1 it can skip to another question
It did take me a while to work out what things did

I have found this product extremely easy to use - I have used it myself to collect all kinds of survey data and also used it in teaching with students, who find the set up very easy to operate and have designed great surveys using a range of different response forms and mechanisms. The templates for each question are particularly useful.
Templates for question types
Skip logic is a little complex at first

We ask rail commuters to take part in a survey by giving them a card at the station with a QR code on it. It is very useful to be able to modify the survey so we can correct for unexpected issues and so we can use the same cards at more than one station.
Skip logic has been very useful to save the respondents from going through unnecessary questions, it gives the survey a professional edge. We will continue to use Smart Survey
When skip logic is used the page and question numbering is out of sync.

I do find it easy to use, I appreciate how easy it is to design surveys with the options presented and then to manipulate the data. I generally export to excel, which works fine, as the presentation / graphic options are a bit limited on the responses page itself.
I would like to be able to change the fonts / formats of the graphs and charts but that is minor.
Hi Kim, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, your positive feedback is much appreciated. We have a refresh of the charts functionality in roadmap, it should be in product in the next 6 months. Many thanks, Neil
