"Very Useful for Creating Structured and Detailed Survey Projects"
4.5/5
What do you like best about LimeSurvey?

It helps me collect and organize feedback in a more structured way. I work as a Dietician & Nutritionist, manage a homeopathy clinic, and also create health education content. I often need surveys for health awareness activities, educational programs, and audience feedback, so having a flexible survey platform is useful. What I like most about LimeSurvey is the variety of question types available. Features such as single choice, multiple choice, ranking, rating scales, text responses, numerical inputs, and file upload options make it possible to collect different kinds of information depending on the project. This flexibility helps when creating both simple feedback forms and more detailed surveys.

I also like the survey logic, question grouping, and customization options. These features help organize surveys in a structured way and make it easier to create questionnaires that fit different audiences and purposes. The multilingual support and survey management tools are also useful when working with different survey requirements. Survey distribution, response collection, and reporting are features I use regularly. They help me gather responses, review participant feedback, and identify common trends without spending extra time organizing data manually. Having responses and survey data available in one place makes ongoing survey management easier. The platform was straightforward to set up for regular use, and performance has been smooth while creating surveys, editing questions, managing responses, and reviewing results. It offers a good balance between flexibility and functionality, and overall it fits well into my workflow for feedback collection, health education activities, and survey-based research.

What do you dislike about LimeSurvey?

It can be used for both simple and detailed surveys, which I like. Because it offers many options, I sometimes spend a little extra time deciding how much information I really need to collect. I also spend some time arranging questions and survey sections in the way I want. The flexibility is useful, but it can make survey setup take a bit longer on some projects.

"Flexible, Open-Source Surveys with Strong Multilingual Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about LimeSurvey?

It is open source and can be self-hosted. In terms of functionality, it supports a wide range of question types and logic. Another important feature for our organization is that it supports Arabic and other languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LimeSurvey?

The admin UI feels somewhat outdated and could be improved. The survey design and layout also need work, especially with more flexible theme options. Reporting and survey result display can be enhanced with modern styles and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly customizable platform at a very reasonable cost"
3.5/5
What do you like best about LimeSurvey?

It offers extensive customization opportunities, from editing the font of a specific question to setting up question branches and validation. This has allowed my organization to tailor surveys to not only be branded but also ensure we are not stymied by system limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LimeSurvey?

As an IT professional, it did not take me long to understand the tool but for everyday users, it can be quite a daunting tool because of the level of customization. I also do not like the way question branches have to be set up, it is unnecessarily complex especially compared to more popular commercial platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very complex and not very useful for students"
1/5
What do you like best about LimeSurvey?

Good variety of questions and options to customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LimeSurvey?

I didn't have a good experience with LimeSurvey. There are just so many unneccesary layers of information that one doesn't really need. First of all, there are 2 different website, one general and another one for the survey. Creating a survey would seem like a 1 2 3 task but in reality it requites extensive knowledge on how the program works. After working quite a lot with LimeSurvey for my studies I realized that they could easily streamline the whole program, yet there is a different page for everything. You can create a question and then go to another page for the sub-questions and another page for the answers of a subquestion and so on. Instead of making it all coherent on 1 or 2 pages there are so many layers of difficulty that one almost forgets where they are doing what, it's very easy to make mistakes. They also aren't very creative with the design of the questionnaires, almost no customization is possible so the questionnaires look all sort of the same/generic.

"Flexible but fiddly"
3.5/5
What do you like best about LimeSurvey?

Limesurvey has it's roots in the open source scene and this shows through a massive amount of options and flexibility. With LimeSurvey you can do basically any order of questions or flow, re-organise how it sends out, when, when does it close, who can answer. It's pretty crazy that it has quite so many options to make your survey completely customised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LimeSurvey?

Related to the good stuff. Limesurvey is pretty damn complicated. It's easily an order of magnitude more complex than the likes of SurveyMonkey and this shows in how long it takes to make changes. Training staff in its use is really complicated as well in comparison to so much of todays software which explains itself nicely as you go along. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
