Anybody create/use online surveys?

[JoeM]

I'm looking at 2 possibilities:

http://info.zoomerang.com/
or
http://surveymonkey.com/

I'm leaning towards surveymonkey as I think they might offer enough for my company's needs although I did fill one out for Adobe last week that was from zoomerang.

Anybody have experience or preferences?

TIA

I used zoomerang at my previous job. It worked well, had nice reporting options and a decent interface.

No experience with surveymonkey so I can't offer a comparison there.

My boss regularly uses SurveyMonkey to conduct surveys about our IT department's performance from regular users. Unfortunatley, I have so thoroughly trained my users not to open emails from unexpected/unusual/unknown senders that they have all, 100%, deleted the emails and immediately emptied the trash. When asked why, they all responded "Who the heck sends and email from "surveymonkey.com" and expects to be taken seriously?!?

There are lots of Survey servers available for Linux and Apache. There are probably similar programs available for OS X too.

ztirffritz,

Good point about surveymonkey. It is a dumb name. But then - zoomerang?

I used to work for a company that does online (and other types of) surveys. They build their own.

If you can host it yourself use http://www.limesurvey.org/index.php

It used to be called phpsurveyor and it is really good open source software. Easy to set up and powerful to use.
