“The fundamental standout feature for me was the data analysis and reporting tools. The platform automatically analyzed the data I collected and presented it in easy-to-read charts and graphs, which made it simple to draw meaningful insights and conclusions from the results.

“Integrations allow us to automate processes.”
“The SurveyMonkey integration has allowed us to sync Net Promoter Score (NPS®) data for use in reporting in both Salesforce and Tableau. The SurveyMonkey reports in Salesforce are really useful and allow for NPS visibility across all teams and departments. We've used this data in Tableau to create email alerts based on NPS, in order to closely monitor customer health and automate the response process.”
