Pros

“I love how the branching logic in SurveyMonkey lets me tailor questions based on previous answers; it saves me from sending irrelevant follow‑ups, and the visual flow builder makes it quick to tweak.”
JP

Jessica P.

Senior Marketing Analyst Lead

“It saves time, keeps responses organized, and provides useful reporting that helps improve internal processes and team engagement. While some premium features come at an additional cost, the platform is dependable, user-friendly, and delivers good value for regular feedback collection.”
EW

Emilia W.

Network Support Coordinator

“My only criticism is the way response data is exported. While the export feature is functional, I feel the formatting could be improved to make the data easier to analyze and present, especially when working with larger surveys or sharing results with others”

Peter C.

Regional Director of Business Development

PPC Analyst

Cons

“Some advanced survey logic and reporting features require a paid subscription, which may not be ideal for smaller teams with basic needs.”
EW

Emilia W.

Network Support Coordinator

“Some customization and analytics options are only available in higher-priced plans, which can be expensive for individuals or small businesses.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Ronith C.

Student

“The free/basic tier has serious restrictions—limited questions, limited number of responses you can view/export, and many features locked behind paid plans.”
EW

Emma W.

Assistant manager

Cons

“We were disappointed when their pricing model changed to require more investment to cover the same number of domains.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Sarah F.

Marketing Technologist

“Screen recording is not perfect, many of our dom interactions were not recorded leading to us identify them as bugs.”
BG

Bharat G.

VP, Enginnering

“The cost is way too high to scale up for an enterprise company.”
