I was a very fan of "SurveyMonkey", thus I was looking for something similar, that could give to my organization the same experience BUT with self-host and free possibility. And Limesurvey delivered It to us. Since then, we automatized a lot of processes in our organization. The results were astonishing. We are saving a lot of time.

Pros

It's free, open-source and I can host in my own server (for free). It's even easier to build forms and questionaries than with survey monkey and google forms. The admin interface is easy to use and also the user interface. Very quick to build new forms, to see the answers, etc. Admins can use LDAP to login.

Cons

Impossible to say anything bad about this software.

Alternatives Considered

Google Forms and SurveyMonkey

Reasons for Switching to LimeSurvey

It's the only one where I can store my own data in my own server and without pay nothing.

Very satisfied with the environment and customer assistance

Pros

I like how it works and its environment. I recently requested technical support and I am very surprised of how quickly and precisely they answered. It was important for me to solve my problem fast and they were very efficient and kind!

Cons

I would like to have more built-in question types and flexibility with the scale-type, for example (1-10 scales and 0-10 scales)

Response from LimeSurvey

Hello and thank you for the nice review. You should be able to create any scale type using the normal array question type, where you can define any scale. If you have problems, please don't hesitate to contact our support at [email protected]

Useful tool for survey. But it is not easy for those who have not got coding background. I spent time on forum to find solutions. Luckily experts at forum are very supportive. They helped me a lot. The completed survey is awesome.

Pros

Editable and professional survey platform

Cons

You need to spend time on finding a suitable coding. The program will be better if all possible coding are transferred to friendly-user choices. Just choose what you want by click and done.

Response from LimeSurvey

Thank you for the review which we appreciate a lot. LimeSurvey has a great community from all over the world because it is so flexible and can be used in so many ways.
Because of the flexibility it can be overwhelming in the beginning, that's why we are currently revising the user-interface and will publish an easier-to-use survey editor interface soon.
We are glad that your survey was such a success!

Comprehensive but buggy and hard to use. Very poor customer service

Below average - the UI is very hard to manage and is buggy.

Pros

Comprehensive features for creating surveys

Cons

Old fashioned and hard to use UI with plenty of bug. Lock you into a subscription with no advance warning of payment and will not refund.
