TechSoup Compares Online Survey Tools

Today we stumbled upon a really cool comparison chart of survey providers that the folks over at TechSoup made up. The chart goes through various online survey providers’ features and benefits and is a pretty complete list (including SurveyGizmo, of course!). It looks like they held a webinar too (unfortunately we missed out on it, but you can download the whole thing over at their site as well as view the chart.)

Go check out the comparison chart and the webinar and tell us what you think!

SurveyGizmo listed in Idealware Survey Software Guide/Blog

First let me tell you, Google Alerts are a *wonderful* thing. Today for example Google sent me a link to a short blog article/guide that compares four survey tools for not-for-profit users. The guide is quite brief and concise — well worth a look.

The blog post was on Idealware who, in their own words, provide “candid Consumer-Reports-style reviews and articles about software of interest to nonprofits.”

Here is a link to the blog post: http://www.idealware.org/blog/2008/01/ask-idealware-what-online-surveying.html

In the blog them mention five questions you should ask yourself when you are evaluating survey software. I’d repeat them here, but I’ll suggest instead that you read the article (I don’t want to steal any thunder). The comparisons in the article are useful for both not-for-profit and profit oriented organizations.

After working with dozens of non-profits I would mention one other big point to consider: you should pick an accessible survey tool. In fact, if you are grant funded you may need to pick online tools that meet certain accessibility criteria. Which is something our software does well and we are dedicated to.

I encourage everyone considering a new survey tool to read this quick review.

PS: Thanks, Laura at Ideaware for listing us in your guide!

An Independent Review

Today, we stumbled upon a great review of SurveyGizmo on a blog about marketing research technology. Mark Kupferman goes into great detail about us (actually, it might be even better than the guide one our own website!) starting with this statement:

“SurveyGizmo is among the most easy to use, best priced, feature packed internet survey software packages I have seen. And I’ve seen a number of them. I highly recommend it….[SurveyGizmo] includes just about everything you need. And it’s easy…very Web 2.0ish.”

Of course, this caught our attention immediately.

He also writes that SurveyGizmo “includes some really fancy question types that I’ve never seen anywhere else.”

Mark gives a great rundown on some of our unique features and states “I think it is fair to say that many of the features available in SurveyGizmo aren’t even available in many of the paid packages I’ve tried. “

Take a look: Read the Full Review

Mark’s site is also a great source of information about Market Research. While you are there, read some of his other articles & reviews.

Thanks for the kind words, Mark!
