Pros

Pretty easy to use and quite extensive software.

Maybe the data delivery could be a bit quicker. Now we need to undertake several steps before the data is cleaned and prepped for analyzes.

Overall we have used Sawtooth to launch several surveys that have helped us derive key insights.

Pros

The degree of customization and ability to use advanced survey instruments such as CBC and MaxDiffs.

Cons

The software is a bit clunky by construction. E.g. the constructed lists are pretty rigid and less dynamic given indexing. Also the UI is not always easy to follow.

### "Great software, but pricey! "

March 6, 2020

5.0

Excellent!

Pros

The training and support for the software are phenomenal! The software is also very much point and click, and they have done a great job of user testing to identify areas of improvement over the last several versions.

Cons

Probably the most difficult is exporting the results to MS office. Also, the price is really high.
