Qualtrics enables a simple feedback loop for employees and customers alike. Pros Incredibly easy to build a survey, send it out, and start getting insights from your target market... within hours. Cons There is some advanced functionality that takes some getting used to. It's an incredibly robust product, but it takes some learning to understand some of the deeper features. Review Source CP Cory P. Project Coordinator Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Robust, Yet User-Friendly, Online Survey Platform" August 22, 2018 5.0 Pros As a researcher, I've built my fair share of surveys. Qualtrics makes this process incredibly easy. With some minimal time invested, I was able to create surveys with complex skip logic, mixed variable inputs, and more. What's more, I was able to monitor when people were filling out the survey, how many surveys were currently open but incomplete, and I could automatically schedule surveys to open and close on certain dates. Once closed, I can download all of the survey results as .csv or .xls I can't imagine research without this tool. Cons This is a minor nitpick, and one that isn't entirely fair, given what Qualtrics set out to do. They aimed to create a simple, intuitive, user-friendly interface for creating and distributing online surveys. But the cost of simplicity is complexity - some more imaginative survey options aren't available. Further, Qualtrics, from what I've seen, doesn't offer descriptive statistics or rudimentary analysis of survey results. However, exporting the data into Excel, SPSS, or any other statistical software makes light work of this analysis, and Qualtrics never billed itself as an all-in-one tool. Review Source KR Kelley R. Assistant Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Online Survey Software!" February 23, 2019 5.0 Pros I absolutely love using Qualtrics when I collect data because it seems like I can be as creative or complex as I'd like in my research/survey design and Qualtrics has the options to match. This software is also what I consider to be "intuitive" which makes developing and administering surveys so much easier (I don't have hunt down advanced options in multiple sub-menus). I also like the (relatively) new data and analysis options to do some quick/simple analysis within Qualtrics. Cons Sometimes the software lags and has "error" messages. This can be a bit annoying; however, it hasn't caused any true issues with my usage of the software. Review Source DB Darren B. PhD student Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Qualtrics equals excellence!" July 31, 2016 5.0 As a new researcher, the Qualtrics survey software has not only been a valuable design tool, it has also contributed to my understanding of what I am doing with my project. I am not the most IT-literate person getting around, but the user interface is intuitive and simple to use. Those features that I was unable to use properly could be figured out using the tutorial information that is available. When I couldn't figure it out, the support staff you can ring were amazing - not only did they help me with the more complex programming I had to do, they first had to decipher my questions which were not always well communicated. They did all this with a sense of humour and a great attitude. I cannot recommend the software and the support highly enough. Pros Right from the start when I was learning to use the Qualtrics software, the design of the interface was intuitive and the ability to program a basic project could be understood in very quick time. The customer support has also been excellent. Cons At this stage of my usage of Qualtrics (i.e. still quite early), I have not found anything I dislike about the product. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Service Delivery Manager Market Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "amazing software!" June 5, 2018 4.0 scripting wise, it is very "handy" , i dont need to have enough scripting skill to produce a survey! comparing to other tools, i consider this as an end to end tool, all in one tool Pros I like the library, very easy to use. seems like all info are there easy to navigate, don't need to export the data and run the analysis to another software Cons cannot apply weights in crosstab (data and analysis tab) cannot customize/adjust the label size in reports Review Source Kenton W. Research Assistant Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Program - Not the Easiest to Set Up for First Time Users" October 6, 2020 5.0 I would highly recommend Qualtrics. It's a great program, but the learning curve itself could be better for newbies. Pros I really like how comprehensive my questionnaires feel when using Qualtrics. It does an excellent job of separating my questions according to their topic/area. Cons There is definitely a learning curve for first time users when you pick up Qualtrics. It took some trial and error on my part to get it to where I want. Review Source HM Harres M. Research Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Qualtrics tool's and services are amazing! The tool is efficient and customer service is world class" July 18, 2016 5.0 I have been using Qualtrics for over two years and it has been one of the most useful tools I have ever used in regards to marketing research and business analysis. The technology is user friendly and the Pros The technology is user friendly and the customer service is world class. I have colleagues and individuals from other industries always asking me about this technology. I have been able to increase my productivity and the quality of work deliverable with Qualtrics. My team has been able to accomplish much more than we could have imagined in such a short amount of time. Cons I'm a tough customer but this is one of the few products that I couldn't find any cons. I'm impressed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Executive Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very Good, Very Comprehensive, Very Customizable. " September 30, 2019 5.0 My satisfaction was neutral as we were setting everything up and developing the data structure for the first time. Once we started rolling it has been all positive. Pros This service is very comprehensive and can be customized to gather the specific data that you need. It can dig as deep as you want. Cons The costs can add up, especially when you're in the process of setting everything up for the first time. Review Source SD Sarah D. Admissions and Recruitment Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect for our evaluation needs" December 4, 2018 5.0 Couldn't recommend high enough. Pros Software has a lot of capacity and capabilities depending on your project's need. Simple enough for gathering scheduling information, to more complex question formats, including forms, ranking systems, etc. It has been incredibly useful on a number of projects and the tutorials are very helpful! additional note--Reports and Data visualization are incredibility helpful and time saving Cons There is a bit of a learning curve and sometimes have to use work arounds when gathering specified information. However, I think its built in a way to get you data that is reliable. Review Source DP Dawn P. UX Researcher Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product Support - Extremely knowledgeable!" January 15, 2019 5.0 I was trying to import data from one survey to a copy. The support staff quickly identified the issue with the import (it was just a matter of getting the data structure from the copied survey instead of the original.) It took the support person a matter of 3 seconds to know what I was doing wrong. I was very happy to know it was just a user error. :D Pros It does exactly what I want. It's easy to identify how to implement the steps that the support person helped me with. Cons I couldn't figure out the issue myself. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Media & Events Intern Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Branding Research Survey" June 2, 2019 5.0 I used Qualtrics for branding research where we needed to find over 200 participants to complete a survey. We had issues with questions being spelled wrong and we were able to go into the survey and change it quickly with no disruption of the data we were collecting to the software. Pros I liked how easy it was to create a survey, but also go in and change it once I have already submitted, published, and had survey participants. We had a couple spelling errors and missing questions that we could easily add in so that was helpful. Cons What I like least is the inability to format the survey to make it easier to read, the survey looks a lot longer than it is because of the design restriction which can make it hard to get people to take the survey we create. Review Source MH Misty H. Extension Educator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Qualtrics survey" December 8, 2022 5.0 I have had good experiences with Qualtrics. Pros I like all of them that I understand how to use. Cons It is a little clumsy to just try to figure it out on your own. Review Source RS Robin S. Sr. Training Support Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SJFC is using Qualtrics" October 3, 2016 5.0 It has been over 7 years since we started using Qualtrics on the college campus and it has been a wonderful experience, support is consistent and always responsive. The product is very stable and most recently contacted to ask " how can we help you work better/smarter". Pros Everything; support, knowledgebase, reliability Review Source MJ Mary J. Senior Market Research Analyst Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Qualtrics Insight Platform is superior to other platforms our company has used in the past." May 23, 2017 5.0 It is easy to use and very intuitive. I also like that updates are made to the software based on feedback from the users. I have been told before when I asked about a feature that it would be turned in for future enhancements. Pros The software is easy to use and very intuitive. I love the library where you can learn to use any functionality within the tool. When I can't find answers in the library, the tech support area is available to help. The techs are always easy to understand and have always been able to resolve any questions that I have. I have used both email and telephone methods for tech support and have had superior results both ways.

Pros Great for Researchers Cons Quotas Review Source GW Gillian W.

Review Source TR Tennisha R. Postdoctoral researcher Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Useful for Research in Social Sciences" May 8, 2019 4.0 Overall qualtrics has been easy to use and provides the basic functions, and more to conduct my research. Pros Qualtrics is really intuitive. I was concerned about it’s ease of use but generally every link and option In qualtrics either provides you with more information, allows you to test the option, or you get an opportunity to remove and try again. I like knowing that my survey questions are going to display properly for participants. Cons Qualtrics generally has served its function for me but what I think can be improved is its use with other software platforms. I just started using it with biometric software so I’m hoping that the trend between qualtrics and other software companies continues. Review Source JH Jeremy H. Administrative Intern Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best of the best with survey platforms" December 4, 2018 5.0 Pros I really want to talk up the ease of use.

As you continue to use the product, you find that you can use Qualtrics for more sophisticated, complex surveys Cons We used Qualtrics on a project and we were getting feedback from those that we never sent the survey to, which hurt our results. We thought that something was hacked Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [AB Testing](https://www.capterra.com/ab-testing-software/)[Market Research](https://www.capterra.com/market-research-software/)[Qualitative Data Analysis](https://www.capterra.com/qualitative-data-analysis-software/) ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
