Pros

“For an organization our size, having a reliable survey tool that just works has made a real difference in how we collect feedback from staff across our locations. Whether it's a quick pulse check or a full townhall with the whole company, it handles it without any headaches.”

“We run company wide townhalls with around 400 employees, and it handles the response volume without breaking a sweat.”

“In the end, I found Cognito Forms, and using that in combination with Microsoft Power Automate turned out to be infinitely more useful than SurveyMonkey Apply, at a small fraction of the cost. When I asked for a refund from SurveyMonkey, they refused, citing the hours that their designer had spent with us, trying to set up the programs we wanted to use. When I tried to negotiate a fair accounting for that person's time, they cited an exorbitant hourly rate, which negated the $10,000 we had spent. When I countered with a more reasonable rate, they never responded. ”

“Everything about this software is frustrating from the kind of survey they upload and the way they disqualify users unnecessarily without even following their own rules and anything”
