Product Description

Alchemer (formerly SurveyGizmo) is an online survey software tool for designing online surveys, collecting data and performing analysis.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Our most frequent comparisons are against Qualtrics and SurveyMonkey. The latest G2 reports give an unbiased overview:

Alchemer beats Qualtrics on price by about 50%, yet each platform received equal marks for meeting requirements. Half of Alchemer customers report going live within one day (18% for Qualtrics). And Alchemer customers report a much quicker return on their investment.

SurveyMonkey customers tend to switch to Alchemer because we offer 43 question types (twice as many as SurveyMonkey), a simple pricing model with no per-response charges, and better survey support when needed.

What do you like best about Alchemer Survey?

Alchemer has a ton of functionalities and actions that allow you to tailor the use of the application. They back up this highly developed product with an easy-to-access user interface and amazing customer service. No matter the time of day, I can always get a person on the phone immediately. They don't stop until they've solved your issue or have a full understanding of what may be a bug in the system before they let you go. No rushing you off the phone or minimizing the seriousness of your situation. The survey application itself is top-notch and makes my job as a program evaluator and education researcher just a little bit easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alchemer Survey?

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Alchemer Survey?

Originally used for test design scoring for new hires coming into the organization, which is a great feature. Branched out to Customer Satisfaction Surveys (CSATs). Moved away from those and now the focus is on Employee Satisfaction Surveys (ESATs) and general employee surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alchemer Survey?

Some of the default presets, but they can be adjusted as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Alchemer Survey:

When we initally brought on Alchemer it was mainly for scoring tests for our new hires. Now we've branched off to using surveys for mail campaigns, satisfaction surveys and the miscellaneous item. Alchemer does a great job of meeting our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alchemer Survey solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I said earlier, we originally (2012) needed software that would initially service some sort of test scoring for new hires coming into the organization to check for understanding (part of Learning and Development). In order to make the software more appealing (2020), I was able to highlight secondary departmental needs, at the time, of Customer satisfaction surveys (CSATs), and employee satisfaction surveys (ESATs). Now we use it for a range of things at a corporate level, such as general surveys to staff over a range of things - returning to work, evals on training, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Alchemer Survey?

Alchemer is a sturdy little survey platform. It has drawbacks, which I'll mention later, but it also succeeds in areas that Qualtrics fails. (We use both Alchemer and Qualtrics at my company). For instance, in Alchemer it's easy for a user to nickname or change the codes on a variable's response outcomes. The UI just feels more intuitive overall. There are lots of customization options. I've done some advanced work with the API and found it approachable though I'm still new to it. Overall though, I like what I see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alchemer Survey?

Qualtrics still beats Alchemer in a couple of ways. First, Alchemer desperately needs a mechanism like Qualtrics' "survey flow" that allows a user to get a bird's eye view of the entire survey. Second, I think Alchemer could punch up in-line reporting options and visualizations for less tech-savvy (more qualitative leaning) researchers who run surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alchemer Survey solving and how is that benefiting you?

Alchemer is my go-to platform for running national and international gen pop surveys as well as in-product surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great to be able to tailor a quick survey around our customers, segmenting by customer type and supporting initiatives across the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alchemer Survey?

It's relatively quick to pick up, but some of the more advanced features do need some explaining. Some video instructions/walkthroughs would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alchemer Survey solving and how is that benefiting you?

A low-cost way of capturing feedback without ourselves without having to rely on agencies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Alchemer Survey?

The help documentation and customer support provided by Alchemer are excellent. The help documentation is extensive and easily searchable, and the customer support staff is knowledgeable and friendly, resolving any issues quickly. The software provides numerous options for creating customized surveys, with the automated reports with tables and charts standing out as a standout feature. The ease of use and ability to create surveys from Word or Google Docs are appreciated by users. While Alchemer has some shortcomings, it excels in areas where other platforms, such as Qualtrics, fail. It is a dependable survey platform due to its user-friendly interface, customization options, and approachable API. It's been used for a variety of things, including test design scoring for new hires and employee satisfaction surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alchemer Survey?

While Alchemer has customizable default presets, it still falls short of Qualtrics. Users request a feature similar to Qualtrics' "survey flow" to provide a comprehensive overview of the entire survey. Alchemer could also improve in-line reporting and visualizations for researchers who prefer a more qualitative approach. One disadvantage is the additional cost for sending more than 10,000 emails per month, which users believe should be available for purchase on a month-to-month basis rather than an annual commitment. For those without programming experience, the learning curve for implementing complex logic or custom code in Alchemer surveys can be steep. However, useful online articles are usually available to help with any problems. While there are some areas that could be improved, users find Alchemer Survey to be user-friendly, with support resources readily available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alchemer Survey solving and how is that benefiting you?

Alchemer is praised for its simplicity of use, which enables new team members to quickly grasp survey programming. The platform has been useful in gathering employee feedback, as it provides a quick and user-friendly experience. Its simplicity has reduced the team's workload because others can easily navigate and create surveys without extensive training. Alchemer is a powerful lead generation and assessment tool, assisting the sales team in recommending courses and measuring student progress. It is useful at various stages of the pipeline, such as collecting implementation results and assessing the company's impact on small and medium-sized businesses around the world.

What do you like best about Alchemer Survey?

I like everything from ease of use to their excellent customer service. My favorite feature is the ability to quickly & easily create a survey from Word or Google Doc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alchemer Survey?

The extra cost for sending out more than 10k emails monthly using their platform. It would be great if you could purchase for just the months you need the additional email sends and not the entire year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alchemer Survey solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we lost access to Sharepoint, which was being used to submit and approve leave requests for the Unit, I was able to use an Alchemer Survey to create a leave request approval process that integrated with Google Sheets and Gmail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Alchemer Survey?

Provides easy-to-use options with simplified merge codes for reporting and email implementation.

The options for integration with data connectors also works pretty fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alchemer Survey?

Some of the extracted reporting formats don't support XLS, but only CSV, which in Cyrillic, can break the collected DB with audience answers.

The reporting automatization option would be handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alchemer Survey solving and how is that benefiting you?

The solution brings together a lot of available feedback collection modules.

What do you like best about Alchemer Survey?

Alchemer's help documentation and customer support are absolutely phenomenal. Most of the questions/issues I have run into while creating surveys were easily searchable in their help documentation, but for the few times that I wasn't able to find a solution in their help documentation, their customer support staff (phone and email) were friendly and knowledgable and helped me solve the problem quickly.

The best thing I like about the Alchemer software is that there are so many options available for creating customized surveys. I also really like the automated reports (with tables and charts) you can create for survey responses, with the ability to filter results based on responses to one or more questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alchemer Survey?

This isn't a 'dislike' necessarily, and I don't really have experience with other paid-for survey software, but I will say that the learning curve was rather steep for understanding how to implement more complex logic/use custom code in my Alchemer surveys. Luckily I was patient and determined, but others with less programming experience may not be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alchemer Survey solving and how is that benefiting you?

Alchemer has improved our organization's biennial surveys by allowing us to tailor them so that respondents only receive follow-up questions relevant to their earlier responses, which has greatly shortened survey times, improved data quality, and increase response rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
