Survey Solutions vs Google Forms: Which is a better fit?

The survey solution really helps in designing the better questionnaire and collecting the good quality data and it is convenient for the interviewers while doing the data collection compared to PAPI.

No backup in the main server in case of data loss from the individual servers. No Space for instruction at the beginning of the survey.

Collaboration: ability to simultaneously work in the same questionnaire is great for collaboration across countries, very useful during design phase.

It should develop more functions on analyses of interview paradata to find and anti cheat of interviewers.

Highly dependence on Internet connection. Need for offline programing and data backup (specially in some African countries the internet infrastructure is poor).

Mostly great documentation of functionality and features. A polished, robust, well thought-out product, which a team behind it that seems to really care about delivering the highest quality.

When it comes to the validation part its quite difficult difficult as i am not that much familiar with the c sharp.

I love the range of question types that can be usedThe reporting software is excellent and provides useful insights.

It’s quite annoying to have to back up your files into drive, doing google forms on mobile is awful.

I love hang Google Forms for some of my research. I love how easy it is to use and how user friendly it is.

As part of the Google group, some people might be afraid of sharing some sensitive info, fearing that it might just be badly used. Though it might be just a prejudice.

This software has good things to look at images to put on the forms and that was a good experience for me to try out on it and it was nice.

There are no templates for questionnaires and surveys. No branching and no logic skipping.
