"Fast, Polished Surveys with Time-Saving Templates and Real-Time Responses"
What do you like best about SurveyMonkey?

SurveyMonkey helps me quickly create clean, ready-to-send questionnaires. The drag-and-drop editor makes it simple to customize questions, and the templates save me a lot of time. Sharing surveys by email or link is reliable, and seeing responses come in real time is both convenient and impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SurveyMonkey?

For sales teams, the platform can feel pricey for ongoing use, especially with limits on responses and many advanced features locked behind higher tiers. Some CRM integrations also come across as clunky, and setting up more complex logic can be a bit fiddly. Reporting exports could be more flexible as well, so it’s easier to pull the data into a dashboard quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A reliable, low-friction survey tool I return to regularly for structured feedback"
What do you like best about SurveyMonkey?

What I appreciate most about SurveyMonkey, even on the Basic / Free plan, is how intentionally it is designed around the core act of creating and distributing surveys without unnecessary friction. When I log in, I’m not overwhelmed by configuration decisions or setup steps. The platform makes it immediately clear where to start, whether that’s creating a survey from scratch or using a pre-built structure as a foundation. This clarity matters because surveys are often created under time pressure, when the priority is collecting responses quickly rather than learning a complex tool.

Ease of use is one of SurveyMonkey’s strongest points. The interface feels mature and predictable, which means I don’t have to re-learn workflows each time I come back to it. Question creation, answer options and basic logic are presented in a straightforward way that allows me to focus on the wording and intent of the questions rather than the mechanics of the tool. Even when switching between different survey types, the experience stays consistent, which reduces cognitive overhead and speeds up the overall process.

I also find myself returning to SurveyMonkey frequently because it handles the full lifecycle of a simple survey in one place. From building questions, to sharing the survey link, to reviewing incoming responses, everything flows logically. For basic use cases, I don’t need to integrate additional tools or export data immediately to feel productive. I can check responses directly in the platform, get a quick sense of participation and identify trends without extra setup.

Another strength is how stable and dependable the platform feels. Surveys load reliably, links work consistently and respondents don’t encounter confusing interfaces on their end. This reliability is important when surveys are shared with external participants, because responses need to be collected consistently without technical issues. I don’t have to worry about whether a respondent will struggle to complete a survey or abandon it due to usability issues, which helps improve response rates and overall data quality.

The free plan’s feature set is limited, but it is clearly defined. That transparency actually makes the product easier to use because I know what to expect. I can design surveys, collect responses and review results without constantly running into unclear boundaries. For straightforward survey needs, the available features are sufficient and the platform does not feel artificially complicated just to push upgrades. SurveyMonkey’s help resources and customer support have been helpful whenever I’ve needed clarification on features or plan limits, making it easy to resolve questions quickly and continue working without interrupting my workflow

Overall, SurveyMonkey fits naturally into my workflow as a tool I can rely on whenever structured feedback or data collection is needed. It doesn’t demand constant attention, customization, or maintenance. Instead, it provides a clean, efficient environment where I can create surveys quickly, distribute them confidently and review responses without friction. That consistency is what keeps me coming back to it over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SurveyMonkey?

The main limitation I notice on the Basic plan is how quickly you can reach feature constraints once your needs go beyond simple surveys. Advanced question logic, deeper analytics and more detailed reporting are clearly reserved for paid plans. While this is understandable, it can feel restrictive when you want to explore results in more depth or customize the survey experience further.

Response viewing and export options are also limited on the free tier. When working with larger response sets, it can be harder to slice the data in meaningful ways directly within the platform. This means that for more analytical or long-term projects, upgrading becomes necessary sooner rather than later.

That said, these drawbacks are more about scope than usability. The platform works well within its intended boundaries, but those boundaries are something to be aware of if survey complexity grows over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Survey Creation with Templates and Great Results Reporting"
What do you like best about SurveyMonkey?

It's pretty easy to create surveys. You can mostly walk your way through it and it also has prompts to provide you with some guidance and best practices. Recent improvements have made it even easier to use with templates and better results reporting. It even creates graphs for presentations when it comes time to report on your survey results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SurveyMonkey?

Knowing which features we can access with our chosen plan. They are shown on the dashboard but when you click on them is says only available with an updated plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Survey Building with Actionable Analytics, but archaic multilingual"
What do you like best about SurveyMonkey?

The interface is quite easy to navigate and intuitive even to a new user. Survey building function is efficient and question library provides sufficient selection. Question branching works well. Visuals in analytics tool are quite nice and actionable. I appreciate availability to save graphs and tables in PDF as well as PNG- easy to use in the presentation. I recently tested multi survey analysis and while its nice for easy metrics like NPS and CSAT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SurveyMonkey?

The app tends to bug out quite a bit. We had major issues with multilingual collector and support took forever to answer and when they did they pointed us to generic KB, which of course didnt solve anything. I think the app could be way more effective if they worked with real users and listened to their suggestions. I find the way translations are done in Survey Monkey very outdated and ineffective especially if you work with a lot of languages. This goes for survey itself as well as collectors.

"SurveyMonkey: A reliable tool for a professor's job"
What do you like best about SurveyMonkey?

SurveyMonkey has been very useful for my research over the past several years. It has an interface that is very user-friendly and easy to use. This helps me in creating surveys on a wide range of topics across disciplines and collect data via an efficient distribution process. The platform offers resources and templates that can be customized for different population sub-groups based on the application (for example, research purposes, teaching purposes, assessment, and so on). The other feature that I find extremely helpful for my work is that I can obtain the analysis and results very quickly and it consists of tabular and graphical summaries of the data that provide actionable insights and interpretation. Further, the integration with Excel makes transition of the data to other software platforms seamless that facilitates analytics. SurveyMonkey has thus proved to be an efficient tool for informed decision-making in the current data-driven world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SurveyMonkey?

Nothing much really except for the fact that some improvement in the appearance and addition of more interactive components can make the SurveyMonkey platform more attractive to a wider range of users. In particular, the "free" version can be be improved significantly to attract first-time users, especially students and smaller organizations.

"Effortless Survey Creation"
What do you like best about SurveyMonkey?

What I like high-quality approximately SurveyMonkey is its ease of use and short implementation, which makes it simple to create and release surveys with out a whole lot setup. It gives a extensive variety of functions and question sorts while still ultimate smooth to navigate. The platform integrates smoothly with other gear, permitting records to be shared and analyzed efficiently. I also respect the reliable customer service whilst help is wanted. Because of its simplicity and versatility, it’s a tool I can use often for gathering remarks and insights without any friction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SurveyMonkey?

While SurveyMonkey is straightforward to use, a few advanced capabilities like distinctive good judgment, customization, and in-intensity analytics are constrained to better-priced plans, which may be restrictive. The design and branding options are also extremely fundamental, and large surveys can occasionally experience slower to control. These aren’t principal drawbacks, but greater flexibility and higher fee at decrease stages might enhance the general enjoy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast feedback collection for better follow ups and outcomes."
What do you like best about SurveyMonkey?

I like SurveyMonkey because it is quick and very easy to set up , I can create a patient feedback or intake form in minutes without any technical help. Implementation was smooth and it fitted into our clinic workflow right away. I use it almost every week for patient feedback, follow-ups, and occasional diet surveys. It has the features I need ready templates, response tracking, automated reports, and basic logic so collecting and analyzing responses is simple. It also connects easily with email and Google Sheets, which makes organizing results and sharing them with the clinic team fast. Overall, it saves time and helps me improve patient care and diet plans based on real feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SurveyMonkey?

I face a few practical issues. Sometimes response limits stop surveys when the clinic is busy. Advanced logic and customization feel limited for complex forms, and reporting lacks some handy filters or export options. The mobile editor can be slow or awkward with long surveys, which makes field work harder. Overall it helps, but these things can slow my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly and Intuitive, But Limited Free Features"
What do you like best about SurveyMonkey?

I feel the ease of usage & the intuitiveness is the best part about Survey Monkey. They have ready to use templates which can be used even by non-tech people thus saving time & efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SurveyMonkey?

The only thing I dislike is that it keeps most of the important features locked behind the premium/paid account. The free subscription barely offers anything. It's too limited, for eg. one gets only 10 questions per survey. Initially, when I wanted to explore the platform, I was reluctant to pay for it but then it wasn't of much use with the free account therefore I ended up asking my company to pay for it. But then again, when the subscription expires, and if we don't require it much in that month/quarter then it doesn't make sense to pay for it but then the access to useful features, like advanced logic, layout customization, export options, etc. are all locked.

"Easy-to-Use Survey Tool with Seamless Integration"
What do you like best about SurveyMonkey?

Survey Monkey is a useful platform for creating tests, surveys, and questionnaires to gather feedback from customers on a broad scale. I have used it a couple of times with the free account to gauge the preferences of the clients at the company where I work. The free plan allows access to a limited number of questions, but with the paid plans, it is possible to create much longer and more comprehensive surveys. I did not need to contact customer support during my experience, but I know others who have used it and found the service to be quick and helpful. Survey Monkey offers a software that is easy to implement and integrates well with other programs, such as email clients, making it simple to distribute surveys to a large audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SurveyMonkey?

I wish there were a few more options available with the free plan. Aside from that, I consider Survey Monkey to be a high-quality service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
