AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that SurveyMonkey excels in its "Survey Builder" feature, with a score of 9.0, making it easy to create surveys quickly. In contrast, ThoughtExchange's survey management tools are noted for their "Ease of Setup" at 9.5, indicating a smoother onboarding experience for new users.
  • Reviewers mention that ThoughtExchange offers superior "Quality of Support" with a score of 9.5, which is significantly higher than SurveyMonkey's 8.6. This suggests that users may find more responsive and helpful customer service with ThoughtExchange.
  • G2 users highlight the "Customization" capabilities of ThoughtExchange, scoring 9.6, which includes advanced features like "Branching/Skip Logic" and "Multimedia Support." SurveyMonkey, while strong, scores lower in this area, indicating less flexibility in tailoring surveys to specific needs.
  • Users on G2 report that ThoughtExchange shines in "Feedback Management" with features like "Thematic Analysis" and "Sentiment Analysis," both scoring 7.7. SurveyMonkey, however, lacks robust tagging and segmentation options, scoring only 7.3 and 7.6 respectively, which may limit users' ability to analyze feedback effectively.
  • Reviewers say that SurveyMonkey's "Polls and Surveys" feature is highly rated at 9.3, making it a preferred choice for straightforward survey needs. However, ThoughtExchange's focus on "Audience Engagement" through interactive features like "Live Slides" and "Audience Q&A" provides a more dynamic experience for users looking to engage their audience.
