Easy Survey Building, Instant Visual Reports, and Helpful AI Analysis **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Muki D. | Business Analyst (Customer Insight), Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2026 **What do you like best about Alida?** I like that I can easily build a survey on Alida by utilizing all different functions, and I can instantly pull up a visualized report for a survey, and I really appreciate the AI features for analyzing the open-ended questions. I also like that Alida provides amazing customer service to help with us conducting professional surveys. **What do you dislike about Alida?** I dislike that it allows edits after publishing a survey, and that it doesn’t let you undo actions. I also wish some functions were more straightforward, because the learning curve with Alida takes time. For example, it would be helpful if closing surveys could be done directly from the activity view with a single button. **What problems is Alida solving and how is that benefiting you?** Alida is helping me to understand our customer insights, such as customers' opinions on our loyalty programs, book covers, and marketing methods, to support us with better decision makings. ### 2. Functional Survey Platform with Potential for Improvement **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anita M. **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2026 **What do you like best about Alida?** I like the capability of the unique links that tie back to community members, so we can identify long-term engagement opportunities. The feature for managing community profiles was a significant attraction for using Alida. **What do you dislike about Alida?** I think the UI could be a little bit more intuitive. The onboarding to use the platform could be more intuitive as well. I'd also like a program and best practices to help achieve our unique goals as a company. It wasn't that easy to set up initially, and using Alida's resources for survey programming felt more involved than it should be. Programming my own survey was a lot easier. **What problems is Alida solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Alida as a survey platform to create research insights. I like its capability to create unique links, which help identify long-term member engagement opportunities. Alida's community profile management was also an attractive feature for us. ### 3. Unmatched Tools and Expert Support with Alida **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jessica B. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2024 **What do you like best about Alida?** I truly appreciate the unmatched suite of tools that Alida offers, which provides comprehensive capabilities for executing research much faster and cheaper than traditional methods. The ease of using these tools, such as the online surveys and forum discussion guide, is incredibly beneficial for gaining quality feedback easily. The integration with APIs like Discuss IO further enhances its usability, allowing hosting of virtual focus groups seamlessly. Additionally, I have a great admiration for the team at Alida, whom I consider best in class for their expertise and exceptional support. Their knowledge and readiness to solve issues greatly contribute to a smooth experience. Overall, the simplicity of the platform reflects the thoroughness and thoughtfulness put into creating an efficient user experience, making it a standout in its field. I would rate Alida a nine out of ten for recommending it to others due to its robust features and effective results. **What do you dislike about Alida?** I find that Alida is designed for individuals who have no experience conducting research themselves, which can be very point-and-click. This simplicity sometimes becomes a limitation, restricting more advanced users who may need more flexibility or depth in the tool's capabilities. However, the customer support team is always available to work through any road blocks that pop-up. **What problems is Alida solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can execute research faster and cheaper than traditional methods, enhancing our efficiency and reducing costs. ### 4.

New Balance Alida Surveying Capabilities **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rece G. | Fit & Wear Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2025 **What do you like best about Alida?** I love the UI and how easy it is to change surveys on the fly. The different questions also allows us to gain a plethora of information from our testers who often have trouble explaining their feedback due to not knowing all the footwear lingo. **What do you dislike about Alida?** I don't like not being able to delete surveys once they have been opened. I also don't like not being able to take people off of tests once I've added them to a test. **What problems is Alida solving and how is that benefiting you?** Alida allows our testers to articulate themselves in a way that provides us with thorough data while also still being easy for them to fill out. We have struggled in the past with the response rate of our testers and Alida has provided us different avenues to solve this issue such as QR Codes directly connected to surveys and the email reminder function. ### 7. User-Friendly Platform with Continuous Updates, Needs Better Survey Feedback Options **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eliza J. | Sr Manager, Market Research, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2025 **What do you like best about Alida?** Easy to use platform. Always adding new features. Makes panel management easy. Alida's tech support is also outstanding. **What do you dislike about Alida?** I would appreciate it if they could enhance the platform by adding more robust options for providing survey feedback directly within the platform. **What problems is Alida solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps us conduct research among educators in the Unite States. ### 8. Agile Tool for Quant/Qual Research Community **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Makaela M. | Consumer Insights Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2025 **What do you like best about Alida?** We use the Alida platform for our quant/qual online research community. Alida’s strengths based on my experience: 1) Robust in-platorm survey programming tool that allows us to store all of our member and survey data in one place for easy analysis. We used to rely on an external tool to program surveys with advanced logic. 2) Flexible member data capabilities that allow us to create new profile variables and append external customer data as needed. 3) Modern look & feel of the Member Hub and improved survey-taking experience. 4) Smooth in-platform recruitment process that can be used for external recruits as well as internal referrals. Huge time saver compared to our previous recruitment process. 5) Impressive client support from the Alida team. They are collaborative, attentive, and dedicated to meeting our community’s unique needs. **What do you dislike about Alida?** Currently, there are no moderator tools (in-platform messaging, backroom comments, etc) in the Member Hub and no way for members to easily track their points or activity completion history. This is a problem for our community, but Alida is actively working with us towards a solution. **What problems is Alida solving and how is that benefiting you?** Alida provides the quant survey tools and member data management that were lacking in our previous platform. We have much better analysis capabilities now. ### 9. Extremely valuable **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dale F. | PX Manager, ARPG, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2025 **What do you like best about Alida?** The fact that we didn't just get a software suite and left to our own devices, but instead have a support team assigned to us has been invaluable. The community management aspect as been extremely helpful. And the software itself is extremely useful as well. Being able to create custom member groups, profile variables, etc. All very helpful. I also find the survey creation tool very usable. **What do you dislike about Alida?** There isn't much focus on mobile testing features. If the mobile app allowed sharing their phone screen while in a call, we'd be able to use Alida for our full testing processe. As it stands, we use Alida to recruit for playtests, but then conduct the playtests through Microsoft Teams on their phone, allowing them to share their screen while in a call. **What problems is Alida solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps us recruit players for playtests, both locally and remote across North America. Keeps our members engaged, increasing their likelihood to respond to playtest recruitment surveys. ### 10. Every business needs this! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Linda B. | Head of Events, Amazon Smart Vehicles, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2025 **What do you like best about Alida?** There's so many benefits to having an Alida community but if I had to pick what I like best, it would be that I feel more connected to my customers. We have a community of power users who are super engaged and interested in our surveys and products. It is very easy to engage with them and get feedback that will help shape our product. Every business needs an Alida community so they can work backwards from their customers. **What do you dislike about Alida?** There's no real downside about having an Alida community. There's so much you can do with your community and its set up so you can build upon the community as your business changes or evolves. Only downside was setup time. This is less of an Alida problem, and more of an internal challenge. But Alida was with us every step in the process and did all they could do to help us move implementation along. While onboarding was painful (and self-inflicted), the results were well worth it. **What problems is Alida solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are trying to understand what our customers love about our product and get their feedback to help us improve upon existing features or help us shape our product roadmap. Direct feedback from our most active customers allows us to build the features our customers want most. ## Alida Discussions - [What does Alida do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-does-alida-do) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Alida pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/alida/reviews/alida-review-150418?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-20+20%3A39%3A38+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=eb600fd1-d335-435e-bb21-7da640d9b27b&secure%5Btoken%5D=4dc3af407f6c7342e3a99cabd3eed8790c7f7aaa9cafa42307241c95e922c5b0&format=llm_user) ## Alida Integrations - [Adobe Experience Cloud](https://www.g2.com/products/adobe-experience-cloud/reviews) - [Agentforce Service (formerly Salesforce Service Cloud)](https://www.g2.com/products/agentforce-service-formerly-salesforce-service-cloud/reviews) - [BambooHR](https://www.g2.com/products/bamboohr/reviews) - [Calendly](https://www.g2.com/products/calendly/reviews) - [HubSpot Marketing Hub](https://www.g2.com/products/hubspot-marketing-hub/reviews) - [Jira Service Management](https://www.g2.com/products/jira-service-management/reviews) - [Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Voice](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-microsoft-dynamics-365-customer-voice/reviews) - [Salesforce CRM Connector](https://www.g2.com/products/salesforce-crm-connector/reviews) - [Shopify](https://www.g2.com/products/shopify/reviews) - [Virtual Incentives](https://www.g2.com/products/virtual-incentives/reviews) - [Zendesk for Employee Service](https://www.g2.com/products/zendesk-for-employee-service/reviews) ## Alida Features **User Response Methods** - Survey - Video Snippets - Video Interview - Photo Submission - Text/Notes **Analytics** - Net Promoter Score (NPS) - Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) Score - Customer Effort Score (CES) - Gamification **Participant Selection** - In-App - In-Store - On-Site - Recruitment Pool **Customization** - Stakeholder Management - Multilanguage Support - Multiple Branding Support - Vertical-specific Solutions **Insights** - Analytics - Collaboration - Sorting **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization **Agentic AI - Experience Management** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance ## Top Alida Alternatives - [Qualtrics Strategy & Research](https://www.g2.com/products/qualtrics-strategy-research/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (2,911 reviews) - [Medallia Customer Experience](https://www.g2.com/products/medallia-customer-experience/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (202 reviews) - [UserTesting](https://www.g2.com/products/usertesting/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (731 reviews)
