Cons Their customer service is not as good as it used to be, and both their programming interface and reporting tools could be easier to use. Switched from [Verint Voice of the Customer](https://www.capterra.com/p/210302/Foresee/) Verint felt somewhat limited and antiquated, and Qualtrics was more up to date with better capabilities. Review Source RC Ryan C. Analytics Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's ok, could be improved" October 29, 2025 4.0 Pros More stable and better ability to glean insights from data collected compared to some of the other VoC tools out there Cons Could be costly and set up is tedious with a lot of customizations required, but i guess with more power comes more responsibility Switched from [Verint Voice of the Customer](https://www.capterra.com/p/210302/Foresee/) Technical issues, cost, support, features and functionality Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Researcher Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great For Surveys " June 30, 2025 4.0 It is a great software to use for creating and sending out surveys. It is overall easy to use and setup and can do complex work if you need it to. Pros The interface is great and there are a lot of features that you would expect related to creating surveys Cons There are some features that can seem to be technical that could have been handled differently such as reverse scoring. Review Source NK Nadia K. Researcher Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Product " March 17, 2025 5.0 I have created a lot of surveys and I love the ease with which you could create and disperse the surveys. I also love that you can see progress and even download the data from surveys in ways that make it easier for you to analyze them with other applications Pros The easy with which you can create surveys and dispatch them Cons I wish there was a tutorial to walk you through the product when you first sign in. I had to figure out stuff for myself and sometimes through others Review Source MA Mike A. Sales Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Qualtrics Review " October 1, 2025 5.0 Pros Its a great platform. Easy to use. Very helpful for gathering opinions and reviews of internal processes and company updates. Review Source JS John S. Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Qualtrics tries for quality" June 20, 2024 4.0 It's good, but there are certainly more user friendly tools from the perspective of both your team and your customers. Pros Qualtrics allows your team a secure way to gather NPS data. Cons Qualtrics is a bit over complicated when it comes to managing your surveys. Review Source SB Sheena B. Manager Automotive Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Xm customer review " June 17, 2024 5.0 Pros Whag i like most is the selections i have to choose from Cons What i liked least was some buffering but no complaints once that aas fixed Review Source HA Henri A. Analytics Market Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Frontlines a must for effective customer experience tracking" April 2, 2024 4.0 Our focus is on tracking the experience of customers with Consultants delegated to take part in their internal IT projects. Every 6 month, the customer is sollicited to evaluate the Consultant on 4 areas : expertise, process, communication and engagement. He provides comments to substantiate their rating and make educated recommendations on improvement actions. A dashboard allows management to review the performance of individual Consultants per mission, account or profile. The NPS score is a key element to assess the image of the Company in the market. Pros Completeness of the plateform and fast learning curve to master essential functionalities. Cons Lack of obvious widgets in the Dashboarding module which forces to resort to third party visual analytics poducts. Reason for choosing XM for Customer Experience The other option proved to long to implement and difficult to maintain. The Customer Frontlines plateform provided a much quicker time-to-market with and out of the box solution with limited custization. Review Source Prathamesh M. Team lead manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Survey platform with features and functionality with ease of use." December 16, 2019 4.0 Overall, Qualtrics is an excellent survey tool. It is standard survey tool for market research firms and universities where the aim to collect data using an interactive yet ease to use platform. Basic data visualization is good for keeping track of the descriptives. Customer support comes at a price though works well if your firm is inclined to make Qualtrics use efficient. Managing multiple projects is a piece of cake for this tool. Making the process effective and efficient is an another benefit. Qualtrics helps researcher to build a solid foundation of a chain of projects that they can lead from a single library. The benefits of Qualtrics overweigh the pros making it an ideal survey tool for researchers. Overall, Qualtrics is highly recommended to users. Pros Qualtrics customer experience is a great survey to measure customer satisfaction using the online survey tool. It is very flexible and very functional with a very user friendly layout to help build better surveys for customers and participants. Building surveys is painless and requires minimum knowledge. It is easy to create surveys using the drag and drop option with many features which help you select the question type. In one of the projects that I recently completed I was able to use the semantic differential scale function for understanding how people evaluate a new product concept on its strength and weakness. Other scales are also accessible for other question types. In another project that I completed I did use nominal scale for dichotomous questions, ordinal scale for rank order questions, and likert scale for likeliness questions. It was great experience having so many features available to customize in Qualtrics. Qualtrics allows you to create and store surveys. When you store surveys you can actually store the whole survey as well as store individual sections, blocks, and questions. It is very easy to replicate the sections and blocks from one survey to other. Surveys can be shared between different projects. At my workplace we maintain a shared library with survey templates and we also maintain a personal library for current and former projects. Overall building, storing, and recreating surveys is great feature of qualtrics customer experience. Cons Qualtrics is a great tool with features and functionality, but it is sometimes hard for everybody to get a hang of it. Some users require training on certain features, customer support is a great help for those queries, but it comes at an additional cost. Also, the wait times are very long . Qualtrics is a high cost tool and it doesn't have many packages to choose from. Small and midsize research firms should look for low cost basic tools for their surveys if they are not looking for sophisticated solutions. Qualtrics offers wide range of sophisticated solution which includes different type of scale, questions, visualization display etc. Many companies are not interested in such solutions they are happy with basic solution with basic questions which can lead to descriptive statistics. For such firms Qualtrics packages would be expensive. For advance statistics methods like regression, factor analysis, etc. The data analysis and data cleaning options offered by Quatrics are very insufficient. This mainly happens for scientific studies which involve complex multivariate statistics. Sometimes there is an issue with its adaptability with different browsers, we had this issue at our workplace where qualtrics wasn't working that fine with internet explorer. External panel management tools find it hard to integrate with qualtrics and this remains a huge challenge to overcome if an external vendor is used for sample management. Reporting capabilities are very limited to graphs. Alternatives considered [LimeSurvey](https://www.capterra.com/p/145614/LimeSurvey/) Reason for choosing XM for Customer Experience For complex surveys Qualtrics is an excellent option. In market research industry we are required to do different studies which include concept testing, copy testing, message testing, pricing study etc. For such studies you require to have a tool which can give you a wide range of options for scale. Qualtrics stands out to be the best tool which can help you build different scales. Qualtrics was superior to LimeSurvey when it came to this. Switched from [SurveyMonkey](https://www.capterra.com/p/253516/SurveyMonkey/) SurveyMonkey is a good survey tool, though it has few deficiencies to overcome. Qualtrics is a very good when it comes to collecting data using complex measurements and instrumentation techniques. It gives you a good set of options when it comes to variety of question types, different skip patterns, branching logic, and reporting graphics. For doing basic surveys SurveyMonkey is a good option, but for the lower price, but for complex surveys, Qualtrics stands out.

They were great to work with during our implementation and are always willing to work with us on a project or if we have questions. Pros it is easy to use, easy to learn and mostly importantly it is adaptable and customizable. Cons Nothing really, the software stands on its own. Review Source DD Daniel D. CRM Specialist Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Qualtrics has potential to be one of the best survey platforms, but we encounter bugs often." August 9, 2017 4.0 Pros Qualtrics's ability to support embedded data and merge fields within email invitations. Large variety of question types and branching logic. We can use embedded data to remember how a contact responded to a previous survey and help with sample selection to drive valuable market insights. The data visualizations through Vocalize dashboards. We were able to set up NPS dashboards for each department in our Sales and Service team. We also have tabs for each Salesperson. Ticket management helps with documentation of actions performed on survey respondents that responded negatively. Assigning them to a team was easy and intuitive. Cons The Qualtrics Sales team was not transparent and reluctant to share our individual SLA when I was a new member of the team. I spotted inconsistencies in our quote such as response count and module access (Marketo and Tableau). Our response count was set to 5000 when our quote was for 6500. They fixed that when I pointed it out. Marketo was enabled when in their documentation it is described as an add-on feature. They disabled it to their benefit when I pointed it out. Tableau was disabled when in our Brand Administrator User Type permissions it is checked green for Enabled, but we do not have access to it according to our Sales account representative. Since Qualtrics works by quote and not by packaged licenses, it is difficult to pinpoint which individual modules we have access to. It is by the Qualtrics Sales team's discretion. For a large portion of our license, SMS was a feature that was not accessible due to technical issues between Twilio and Qualtrics. It was fixed a couple months before our license expired. They did not describe what went wrong and presented the solution in a black box. Qualtrics does not support printing individual tickets. Ticket exports do not include Comments made by our team. The reply feature within a ticket does not actually send out emails. Vocalize dashboard email exports are inconsistent (about 50/60 successfully sent out each week). The other dashboards encounter errors when attempting to manually download. Review Source EH Emily H.

April 24, 2022 5.0 My overall experience has been great. It's great for productivity and the customer service is wonderful. Pros I like that it is an organized and detailed platform; it allows us to efficiently gather and analyze data. Cons I can't think of anything that I don't like Review Source Gardyrhyterforde S. Travailler indépendant Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ClientXM est puissant et efficace " November 5, 2022 4.0 J'ai utilisé Qualtrics comme outil principal pour les " feuilles de sourire" - de brèves enquêtes que j'ai utilisées pour recueillir les commentaires des participants à la formation .J'ai pensé que c'était incroyablement amical, et en ce moment j'aimerais que mon employeur actuel l' utilise . Pros Il existe d'innombrables façons de personnaliser Qualtrics.Mon organisation utilise Qualtrics pour tous les types d' enquêtes, y compris les études de recherche courtes et longues .De plus, les utilisateurs peuvent le personnaliser pour inclure le logo et la palette de couleurs de leur entreprise .Il peut être personnalisé. Cons S'il y avait un bouton d' annulation , ce serait vraiment utile plutôt que d' avoir à recharger la nouvelle version en cas d' échec. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Destination Resources Consultant Translation and Localization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great system to use to build customer retention " October 29, 2022 4.0 Pros I really like how I was able to listen to calls in real time and assist my agents. Cons I do wish that there was a stronger alert system to let agents now that there stats are falling. Review Source Adrian T. Instructional Designer Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Favorite Survey Tool" September 26, 2019 5.0 I used Qualtrics primary for smile sheets - quick surveys to get collect feedback from training participants. I found it to be extremely user friendly, and it is now the tool I wish my current employer used. Pros I found Qualtrics to be extremely user friendly. The only "training" my former employer had available for this tool was a link to a 30-minute YouTube video, which I found to be entirely unnecessary. The interface was very straightforward, I appreciated the drag-n-drop functionality for moving questions up/down in order, and copying/reusing entire surveys or questions was a breeze. Cons I felt that the reporting layout, while visually compelling, was a bit clunky though I haven't used the tool lately. The ability to create reports from the data output is, in my opinion, one of the most important parts of any survey tool. I did like that it was relatively easy to get data back out of the system. Also, while Qualtrics provides a nice variety of pre-built survey templates for business, at the time I was a regular user, I needed it for higher education and found the templates to be less relative. The good news is that it makes survey creation so easy that it didn't take long to build my own reusable templates. Review Source Ryan M. Senior Research Analyst E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Qualtrics is my favorite survey engine" July 18, 2022 5.0 I have had a really positive experience with Qualtrics. When I have to draft a survey, Qualtrics is my first choice. Pros I liked that I was able to provide individual surveys to all of my respondents. I also liked that there were robust features available to show specific questions to specific respondents based on their feedback. Cons There was a big learning curve to figure out their own language for embedded text and stuff. I will say that I was very impressed with their customer service reps. Very easy to reach and very helpful. Switched from [Google Forms](https://www.capterra.com/p/176571/Google-Forms/)[SurveyMonkey](https://www.capterra.com/p/253516/SurveyMonkey/) It was available at my organization and it had stronger features than its free competitors Review Source SR Sean R. Professo Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Qualtrics for survey and data analysis" June 10, 2021 3.0 This is something I have to use on the job because we have an institutional license but it is one of my least favorite software packages on campus. It's not awful; I'm just not a fan in general. Pros Qualtrics has become essential to the operation of my university. Virtually all elections/surveys/etc are done via this platform. I use it to perform exit interviews of student classes, for masters student committee's assessment of a thesis defense and other related functions. Search committees use Qulatrics during the hiring of candidates when our faculty needs to polled about their opinions. Cons I am not a fan of the actual survey taking experience. I've had issues where the touch pad on m laptop has accidentally changed a selection I made, and it was submitted without me realizing it. The UI looks nice but is clunkier than it lets on. Also, these surveys are not good about (i) communicating their length, and (ii) allowing users to go back and change an answer. I find (i) is a bigger issue in a long survey where you are under the impression that you'll have a final field to respond. Sometimes it just abruptly ends,. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Specialist, Part-Time, Institutional Research Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I've been using Qualtrics at work for several years & couldn't be happier with it. " May 4, 2018 5.0 Pros It's intuitive & customer support is EXCELLENT. I recently had a problem involving student survey recipients getting an error message when trying to complete a survey. Basically, if a student was repeating a course, he/she was getting an error message that they had already completed the survey (the previous semester) & therefore couldn't do it again. I checked the Support database, couldn't find an answer, then contacted Support directly. Their response was fast & solved the problem. I fixed the issue in several surveys where students were experiencing that problem, & now I can tell faculty members that it's no longer an issue. Cons I didn't like the new interface at first, but now I like it better than the old one. "Panel" was changed to "Contacts," which is much more intuitive, and the "Share Survey" icon was changed to the one that looks like a "V" on its side, like in my smart phone. Aligning these simple things in Qualtrics with the technology I use everyday on my mobile device makes Qualtrics much easier to use. I think it also makes it easier for faculty members whose surveys I work on because they don't use Qualtrics as often as I do, but they have to collaborate with me & check response rates to make sure their students are complying with the survey policy. Review Source JW Jed W. Qualtrics Administrator Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good platform, good support, and lots of features" June 23, 2020 5.0 Pros Their support site is very detailed with easy to read articles, user-submitted Q&A forum, and online basecamp with video tutorials. Very easy to start building a survey and distributing it. The built-in reporting features and dashboards are easy to set up and use. They have a lot of suggestions on best practices to make the surveys most effective. They have several features and partners that you can add on once you start moving beyond the basics. Cons There have been occasions where I'm forced to log in again because it timed out, but I was in the middle of using it. The text analytics needs some training to get the correct sentiment for your specific responses, but the more it learns the more accurate it becomes, just takes a bit of time. Sometimes if I update a group of responses or embedded data it will take a long time to completely refresh. Configuring the data set and embedded data can get tricky sometimes so that it displays correctly on the dashboards. Reason for choosing XM for Customer Experience Overall integration, user experience and reporting capabilities, and the interaction we had with their team members. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Support Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "very intuitive tool for building surveys " April 15, 2022 5.0 I'm a superfan - I love working with their survey tool and dashboards. Also whenenver I need help, I contact their support - the Utah team is always super helpful and friendly. I have heard the Europe support team isn't as friendly ... I think that might be a cultural thing when it comes to customer service. Pros Very intuitive and easy to build surveys - also huge fan of their dashboard. I have most fun building my dashboard so I can track results - and then take screenshots of the graphs to put in my presentations. They always continue to improve their user features too. Cons I honestly have no complaints - they are always evolving their product to be more user-friendly with useful features. Reason for choosing XM for Customer Experience Price and product. Review Source VM Virginia M. Social/Clinical Research Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Interactive dashboards have gotten our consumers excited about data! " December 21, 2017 5.0 This makes it so easy to share data with consumers in a way they can understand and use. There is tremendous flexibility with the software as far as chart types, formatting, and user permissions. Plus, it's fast and easy to learn, especially with online training and customer service available. Pros Qualtrics Vocalize makes it easy for me to share data with exactly the people who need to see it, and interactive filters give them flexibility to view exactly the data they want. There are many different chart types to choose from bar graphs, line graphs, tables, gauge charts, and word clouds, just to name a few of my favorites! I can assign permissions by user attribute or data field to show as much or as little data as necessary. The formatting options also allow me to choose colors and fonts to match my company brand, which is a huge plus. Cons I feel limited when it comes to doing advanced calculations (simple calculations are no problem). There is not a built-in feature to show response rates though sometimes this is possible to do with a calculation. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Principle Investigator for Independent Research Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Something to definitely write home about!" October 26, 2018 5.0 One of the BEST parts of my Qualtrics experience has been with it's customer service helpers. I have never before had people with so much patience, kindness, or knowledge be able to walk me through how to use a system before. I have never had to wait to speak to a representative and have never had an experience anything less than ideal. Pros I love this software because of the ease of use, the pleasing aesthetic, and the multiple capabilities it has to collect data in so many ways! Cons I would appreciate it if you could time the whole survey so that in situations where only participants who took over 30 minutes receive a credit through an outside program. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of Procurement Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our organisation wide survey tool" December 1, 2023 4.0 Use for both internal and external engagement. Pros Very flexible tool which can be used both internally and externally. Compliant with data retirements of our organisation and legislation. Easy analysis of responses. Lots of pre-sets which help new users define their survey needs. Good value for money tool. Cons Some parts of the tool are a bit clunky for example the survey upload feature, which for the type of surveys we do, doesn't work very well and often rejects. Review Source RG Richard G. PhD Student Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Thankful PhD Student" September 19, 2018 5.0 Pros I like its intuitiveness; the clever anticipation of what I would most likely want to happen next and the bringing of it to fruition. Here's a simple but elegant example: I want to change a question number but the question is the trigger to a branch chain sequence. If I change the number, will it affect the branch logic which would mean tons more work? Answer: No! The program automatically changes the identification number in the branch chain sequence thereby saving time and effort. Cons Because of the vast number of options available in one's survey development, it takes some time to get used to the software's full functionality. That can be a little off-putting when one is anxious to get on with the project at hand. However, patience opens up a wide variety of tools and choices to enhance one's project...and a bit of experimentation can also reveal interesting and novel techniques to make the presentation look and feel better. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Graduate Researcher Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very useful for surveys, etc." August 19, 2022 5.0 Pros Didn’t have much of a training session before using Qualtrics but it is very easy to pick up on and use. Quick and easy to create and edit surveys. Cons It would be very helpful if there was an undo button instead of having to reload the previous version in the event that you make a mistake.
