Manager of Sales Automotive Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/20/2018 "Polldaddy Makes it Easy to Create Surveys and Polls" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Crowd Signal? The thing that I like best has to be that Polldaddy offers a completely free plan. Usually, free plans with similar websites end after a certain amount of time or after the trial period expires. Polldaddy allows you to utilize the free version with no time limits. This has allowed me to test the service and gain reliable insights and data that will help me write a request to purchase a paid version of Polldaddy in the future. I also like that Polldaddy not only allows you to create surveys but they allow you to create polls as well. Many similar websites don't have the option to create polls. This is something that has been important for us as we take polls on a daily basis. Another feature that I like about Polldaddy is how survey participants can upload files to their survey. This is something participants weren't able to do previously when we distributed hard copies of surveys - it is also something that many competitors of Polldaddy don't offer - especially in the free versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crowd Signal? While Polldaddy offers a ton of nice features that many of its competitors don't have - it is a simple platform that leaves a lot to be desired graphically. Many of Polldaddy's competitors offer survey templates and options that contain a lot of graphics, making the survey more enticing and aesthetically pleasing. I have also found that when taking a Polldaddy survey or poll offline, the contents aren't displayed correctly or it doesn't work at all. There are circumstances when we need a survey to work in an offline situation and we haven't been able to rely on Polldaddy in these situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Crowd Signal: I recommend using Polldaddy for simple surveys, polls and quizzes that don't need strong graphics. I recommend using the captcha option to ensure that all responses are valid - captcha is a good way to verify survey responses. I also recommend trying out the free version before upgrading to a paid subscription as the free version offer almost everything that you will need to create simple questionnaires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Crowd Signal solving and how is that benefiting you? We use to experience a lot of spam responses that seemed to be automated when we distributed surveys to thousands of participants - Polldaddy offers several features that have enabled us to ensure a human is responding to our surveys. Polldaddy offers a captcha option that makes it so participants have to respond to a capthca thus ensuring that they are human. This has helped to eliminate so much of the spam responses that we were receiving - saving us a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

KC Kathryn C. Copywriter Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/17/2018 "Polldaddy is free but clunky...why I switched " 3.5/5 What do you like best about Crowd Signal? I love that Polldaddy has a great free plan. For free to get polling features that most other platforms force you to pay for, such as the ability for survey takers to upload a file. I only recommend tools that make sense for my clients given their budget and the tool’s functionality so Polldaddy was a favorite for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crowd Signal? Getting started in Polldaddy is a touch tricky if you’re not techie because you have to first create a Wordpress.com account. The builder platform itself is not too tough but others are simpler. It also feels pretty antiquated compared to more modern tools, even the free ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Crowd Signal: Go with JotForm... it has everything Polldaddy has and more with a way sleeker interface. Also free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Crowd Signal solving and how is that benefiting you? I primarily use Polldaddy to capture testimonials. I love that people can upload a headshot with their testimonial, without me having to upgrade to a paid account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Special Projects Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/26/2018 "Easy to use, but comes up short" 3/5 What do you like best about Crowd Signal? The user interface in creating the survey is nice and simple. It didn't take me very long to create my survey. The variety of different survey questions were helpful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crowd Signal? The survey layout templates are not as friendly. When changing from online to offline using a tablet, the template would not transfer over. Meaning the app had it's own style that wasn't user friendly. Fonts were small, answer choices were hard to select. They give options to customize but then you have to change the code. For some of us novice users, I don't have the technical skills or the time to do that. I just upgraded to the Pro level to see, but I'm going to ask for my money back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Crowd Signal solving and how is that benefiting you? Trying to find an offline solution to implement a research survey in the field. The offline capability, mostly storing responses until being connected with the Internet is a definite plus. But if I can't get a survey that is functional and user friendly for our needs, it doesn't work for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Content Marketing Lead Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/18/2019 "Works well for our purposes" 4/5 What do you like best about Crowd Signal? Not only is it easy to create surveys, but the ability to filter data using custom formulas is extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crowd Signal? I've run into some bugs when creating complex data filters. More automated ways to analyze data would be beneficial too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Digital Marketing Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/19/2018 "Simple, Easy To Use Polls" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Crowd Signal? Polldaddy is pretty basic in how it looks and works - but that's a good thing. It means it's simple and easy to use - but not an oversimplified and locked down poll like a lot of new polls that are popping up. Because of its flexibility, it can be customised to your heart's content and deployed in a variety of situations extremely quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crowd Signal? Some of the default poll styles are pretty basic and could be mistaken for having been designed in the 90's. You have to pay if you want to customise it yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Crowd Signal solving and how is that benefiting you? Polldaddy allows us to do quick and easy polls. We mostly use them for article related questions alongside a blog. This helps to engage the reader a bit more.

I need a survey tool that my research team can access on their iPads. The free version is too limited (too few survey responses per month and too few questions per survey). The pro version is almost limitless for our purposes, and is $29 per month less our educational discount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crowd Signal? Cost. We have a site license for Qualtrics, which has features on par with Polldaddy, but we don't have to pay an extra fee to use. There are so many competitors for survey software, so the one main benefit (iPad compatibility) is the one reason Polldaddy stands out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Crowd Signal: This is a Word Press product. If you are an expert Word Press user, you will love this. If you are considering becoming a heavy Word Press user, might as well get started with Polldaddy. I still use the free version for smaller projects, so you may use this for certain individual projects and decide on more large-scale use later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Polldaddy has a dedicated app. It allows me to deploy multiple survey takers into the field with tablets and collect results in real time. I also like the robust analytics and drag-and-drop editor. Advanced survey features (such as password protection) are nice, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crowd Signal? It's not the cheapest survey tool out there. It's also not the most aesthetically appealing- it has the look of an open source program. It could look slicker and more professional. Minor quibbles, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Crowd Signal: If you have advanced survey options, Polldaddy is a great service. If you have very basic needs, there are cheaper service out there that will get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Crowd Signal solving and how is that benefiting you? Polldaddy makes polling and surveying customers a snap. We're able to deploy staff into the field and immediately get the data we need to make customer-focused decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do what I need it to do and not much more than that. Track statistics and responses easily. It allows you to add directly to the site with paid features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crowd Signal? I use it annually for my site and it still hasn't impressed me. The paid voting doesn't respond and doesn't change the size of the images in the mobile view. The options for prefabricated designs are simple, not visually appealing, and almost impossible to edit in the service module. It's been a few years and I don't see much has changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Crowd Signal: Great software for polling in the free version, but it's a bit limited. That said, if you pay and spend some money to unlock the premium features, you won't be disappointed with the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Crowd Signal solving and how is that benefiting you? I have used Polldaddy to communicate with users. The survey generator is intuitive and the real-time reports are useful when making decisions about the actions we should take. I am also happy with the "ratings" feature to facilitate user participation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Polldaddy has several options to customize surveys and polls. For different scenarios, one can repurpose survey templates in different ways by changing fonts, colors and other options. My favorite feature is the option to have the surveys and questionnaires in multiple languages, not just English. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crowd Signal? Polldaddy is really outdated. Free services such as Google Surveys, Survey monkey , and signup Genius really prove to be strong better alternatives. Polldaddy needs to keep up with the times and provide cheaper service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Crowd Signal: Please consider cheaper and free alternatives to Polldaddy if you don't need very specific features that only Polldaddy offers.
