Eduardo: Hi, my name is Eduardo. I'm a travel agent, and I give Qualtrics Customer XM four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. We use Qualtrics to measure customer satisfaction and recent trends on travel destinations, hotels, and preferred airlines for our customers. We also use it afterwards, when the customer comes back from their travel, we use it to measure feedback of our group as a whole and of our team here at our travel company. The thing I like most about Qualtrics is it gives you a lot of room to really do what you wish. You can ask any type of questions for the customers, and you get trends so you can see graphs and all this in real-time. So you can really put it all together and you get a broader view of what your customer really wants and what they think of your team. The thing I least like about Qualtrics, and this is why I gave four stars, not five, is really the interface and the velocity of the service you get. It's not unusual for you to have glitches. And just the interface, it doesn't look like it's up-to-date with current trends and technology. It looks a little bit outdated. So that's the thing I would change, I would try to make it a little bit more appealing to our customers.

Aviel P.: I'm Aviel. My company is called AVIP Movies AV Productions LLC. We do movies, audio, video production services, and I'd like to give SurveyMonkey five stars from five. Five out of five stars. I tried out many actually, including some like Constant Contact, which include not only email kind of marketing, but the survey portion. I've also tried other ones. Their names don't really come right to my mind, but they offer similar things. But none of them have been as robust. One of the main reasons I chose SurveyMonkey today is because I just have used it so much in the past. Mostly I used it to answer also, but then I used it back in the past for my own surveys. And I just like the responsiveness of SurveyMonkey. The responsiveness is really great. How easy it is to use has been my favorite. And the fact that it's popular and it became more robust really made it better. It was easy to get started with. So easy. I could choose, or we could choose, because it wasn't always me, but we could choose pretty much any template, for example, and just add to it or subtract to it. Within a couple of minutes, you could have a simple survey done. And it has been so much fun to play with because it's easy to use. So that's really my answer. SurveyMonkey is a lot of fun to play with. And not only is it popular, but it's easy to use, and that's what makes it really, really great. I would say that SurveyMonkey, you should definitely just go to their website and it's really easy to navigate. Try the free trial, try one of their templates, because it's fast and quick. And I would just basically say, if you look at their website, it's very easy to use, like SurveyMonkey itself. It's intuitive and it has certain directions that it can point you to. It can point you to a case study or it can give you a survey based on what industry you work in, or it can just let you free-design a survey real easy. It's just a lot of fun to experience.
