Toluna Start Reviews

Quick way to get responses from the team to make decisions

Comments: User friendly program to help make team decisions.

Pros:

In cases where it should be a team decision about something, but it isn't crucial to be in person for it, QuickSurveys is great to get the responses from the team members. You can then quickly see what options are most popular and why they are most popular, leading to the best final decision.

Cons:

Participants do not put as much effort into it sometimes because it is anonymous. It is easy to just select any options without fully reading everything, which happens to be the case sometimes.

A long time survey addict!

Comments: Overall these are good surveys and rank high among the many I have used. There seems to be a good deal of effort put in to designing them. Rewards are satisfactory and the opportunity to voice my opinion about products is wonderful.

Pros:

I have been doing surveys for years. I do them almost nightly in my free time. I love having my voice count and receiving rewards along the way. QuickSurveys is one of the most well known and commonly seen surveys in the field. I am familiar with it through Toluna as well as some other sites that it appears on. If I am not mistaken I believe they have appeared on Quickthoughts and opinionoutpost as well as others. If I had to only point out the positives I would say that it gives detailed questions, uses visuals on occasion and appears to do a good job filtering out people who do not meet the needed customer demographic. The survey gives you the opportunity to give real answers that can impact products in every consumer area such as shampoo, video gaming and vehicles. I trust the name when it appears because it is widely used and I have been doing surveys for a long time. I became very familiar with different companies.

Cons:

I do have a couple of complaints. I do find some of the surveys to be very long compared to their counterparts. On several occasions I felt like I was halfway done with a survey only for it to go back to the home page and inform me there were enough participants already or that I did not qualify. I feel this should be determined very quickly so I am not wasting time on a survey I will not be given the chance to complete. I also have received an error message after completing the survey a couple of times resulting in a loss of the promised reward. Aside from these couple of occasional issues I have been satisfied

Sorry, this survey is not a match

Comments: I haven’t been able to get on a positive streak of selection and completion as a user. As a client I would have to say its very useful as the filters are extreme.

Pros:

The software is easy to use. The layout is simple. It definitely isn’t loaded with options or information to overwhelm a new user. I like the simple blue and white colors. The email communication is professional. I get a lot of emails and a lot of garbage but scrolling /opening through quickly I can distinguish a legitimate company. Signing up and first impression I would give an 8.

Cons:

It asks questions multiple times and I understand the bot security but it doesn’t seem to compile the information to use it efficiently. I selected around 10-15 surveys to take and partially completed most of them but was only able to fully complete a few. It says its asking some questions to find a survey thats a good match for you but they are the same questions. It would seem the software would have been able to compile this information to complete a user profile and have these surveys that are a good match already filtered and ready on the users app. Its very discouraging to keep answering questions and then having to keep starting over especially with the same questions. The last survey I completed was all over the place. From appliances to the corona virus it felt like it was trying to find a way to say this one is not a match either. After I completed the survey it took me back to the survey page and my points didn’t reflect the completion. There wasn’t a landing page to say something like completed, points acquired, when they will be credited, a survey score or any type of useful information. Also I couldn’t find a link that had anything to say about it. I am hoping that the redundancy of the questions is to scale users for quality and the user experience improves. I’m sure if I looked hard enough I could find the answers to any questions I have but overall beginners experience I would have to score a 6.

Review of Toluna Start

Pros:

Toluna Start surveys are generally simple. The user-friendly interface and the ease of creating and distributing surveys quickly. The ability to redeem rewards via Paypal and the vibrant community interactions are very appreciated.

Cons:

Sometime I experience frequent disqualifications from surveys after investing time, which can be frustrating.

Your Variety Survey Platform

Comments: It resolves much of the problem in answering those queries of product brands. Through this software, it helps much in improving products and services of companies that are selling worldwide. In a way it can serve more people through giving opinions and feedback to it.

Pros:

I like the most, the varieties of subtopics in this platform. I can have a game, polls, surveys and contest of designs and etc. I can also acquire points from these mentioned features. I find it very comprehensive site as for me. I do have lots of choices to take and not time pressured.

Cons:

I just don't like the idea of me as a panelist and taking much time answering the questions and in the middle of the survey i will be disqualified. it is a kind of waste of time then for me. I hope to have it improves that when disqualifying a panelist, it somehow will disqualify it that soon and not on the later part of the survey itself.

QuickSurvey Review

Comments: Overall it's been pretty good. A few team members experienced a few issues with under-qualified project managers, but overall, I've been quite happy.

Pros:

QuickSurveys are great for quick turn projects. The account/project team does a great job handling any concerns, so that I don't have to spend time programming or trouble shooting.

Cons:

It would be helpful to have a few other visualization options for data - often times I screen shot the analytics page, because the PowerPoint output looks less clean. For instance, combining responses from different questions to create one word cloud would be helpful. "Filtering" is the one feature that could be improved upon. It's definitely functional, but for some reason, not the most intuitive the first time you go about it. Clearing filters within the charts and tables can be handy, but it would be nice if there was also a "clear filters" button in the tool bar where the original filter funnel sits.

useful for simple, cheap surveys

Comments: useful for quick surveys, but not enough of a powerhouse for long detailed surveys, with complex routing. this is as expected though. quick surveys is useful for quick and easy surveys that you can get out into field that day if wanted.

Pros:

has enough functionality to ask several different types of questions - this typically covers what you would need for simple surveys. other software sometimes lack options covered in quicksurveys simple user design - easy to work out how to create your surveys, and send them out etc. can send surveys to enough participants options of how participants can access surveys useful for 'within the business' surveys (e.g. employee satisfaction)

Cons:

this might have been a blip, but we tried to change the account over to a different email at one point and this did not work at all! it said it was under the new email but neither login worked on my laptop after this. Luckily, someone else was able to login with the old login details on their laptop. this was confusing though. the reporting and analystics of the surveys can cost more depending on what you want

Toluna United Community

Comments: In general, the results have been positive, I have had the opportunity to redeem several times by PayPal without any inconvenience.
The community is very nice, there is a lot of interaction and respect for each other's opinions.

Pros:

It gives you the opportunity to collect points through surveys, games, and discussions with the Toluna community which you can exchange for cash or gift vouchers.

Cons:

When you take some surveys you are immediately disqualified or even worse when you have already invested a lot of time, you are removed from the survey.

Great value, but somewhat limited functionality

Comments: The team was great and the tool was effective with great value for money, but there are some limitations when you get to even moderately complex survey needs (e.g. monadic concept tests, multiple sample cells)

Pros:

Speed of sample collection and general ease of use

Cons:

Not offering least fill and difficulty in comparing results for monadic concept tests

Quick, consistent and accurate

Comments: I used quick surveys to send to customers after a purchase to ensure customer satisfaction and it works cvery well for me

Pros:

Very easy user interface. Fluid page design allows responders to accurately input data and move to the next question with ease.

Cons:

Once in awhile the screening algorithms will automatically disqualify users for particular surveys and respond with error message.

you never apply for a survey

Comments: I liked the toluna system until last year. Now it's unreliable.

Pros:

The survey app and site are captivating,they are quite easy to use and the site offers many opportunities, among which minigames, commenting in the community, starting new threads, and managing your account and portfolio.

Cons:

The surveys always start with a series of qualifying questions, and after a few, 90% of the times you're not eligible for the survey,even hough the system has recorded many of your data. In the app of toluna, now there aren't any quick surveys and direct questions from users have been canceled, this allowed you to get a handful of points in no time. what's more, after a few months the system deleted the points you've not requested for the past months, and it does so without a reminder

Great survey distribution option with nice features

Comments: My overall experience with QuickSurveys is that it is an intuitive and easy way to create and distribute surveys to your population of interest.

Pros:

What I like most about QuickSurveys is that it is designed such that all survey creation and distribution is incredibly intuitive and there is no real learning curve. This allows it to be easily spread amongst a team such that it doesn't take every individual a long time too learn how to use it.

Cons:

The only real con I can think of is that in terms of survey analysis it may lack some power that more sophisticated statistical softwares have, but that being said, I don't know if it is fair to expect that out of a survey platform.

Great software

Comments: Have had a great experience getting survey responses very quickly. Lots of targeting and screening options help get accurate results. Appreciate the effort of the team who supports!

Pros:

It is easy to use, intuitive and comprehensive with a lot of features.

Cons:

Nothing so far - i have had a good experience

Great service, iffy sample

Comments: The people are great and always helpful, but the data quality was sometimes lacking and the field times for longer surveys was too long.

Pros:

Perfect for quick, simple surveys that need fast data turn-around

Cons:

Limited options for even slightly more advanced survey logic and flows

Review of QuickSurveys

Pros:

It is easy to use...very point and click friendly.

Cons:

This isn't a knock on the software, per se but I'm busy and so often times I only go into the platform to take a quick look at something (vs. being a power user)

QuickSurveys Review

Pros:

It's very easy to get a quick read on results--visuals are easy to understand.

Cons:

Selecting charts for export is a little wonky. Somehow it ended up replicating the same charts 3 times. It also provides too many slides for each chart---one simple slide per Q would be better.

Survey Review

Comments: It was easy, simple and worth the cost.

Pros:

The personal touch as well as the ability to really narrow down results.

Cons:

The takers of the survey were 90% white. This is not very representative of the United States.

Easy to use

Pros:

QuickSurveys was super easy to use and delivered results in a timely manor, which is very important in a fast moving industry like PR.

Cons:

I did not have a bad experience with this software.

New User to Quant

Pros:

real-time data analytics and flexibility of creating sub-populations and checking significance

Cons:

The meaning of all of the different tools

Simple and Effective

Pros:

Simplicity. Very easy to set up and customer service is willing to help immediately when stuck!

Cons:

Hard to get specific in rural areas. Would love more videos on some did you know or how to to take your survey to the next level. Or best ways to analyze.

A good base idea but needs some work

Pros:

It is easy to program questions and the reporting has good features.

Cons:

The platform is very slow and freezes. There seems to be a lack of panel availability and it is inconsistent over time.

User Friendly Program

Comments: My over all experienced with this features it was wonderful.

Pros:

The most impactful features that I had experienced with this software it is very easy to use and you can manage easily your business.

Cons:

I think the features that this software need to improve is their login issue. By the time your going to redeemed your points they asking an update your profile.

Great for quick questions, not for more complex surveys

Comments: Overall, mostly positive (the team is A+) but my concerns about panel integrity and the cost of screening out 80% of participants adds cost.

Pros:

Speed of responses from panel - within hours or days.

Cons:

I'm worried quite frankly on the participants - a lot of seniors are in the panel and dominate early responses so I had to cut them from participating in a recent survey. In open ends, there are some folks clearly only in the study for the points/rewards or whatever the participation award. As stated earlier, this is not for complex surveys where you need good cross tabs (finding errors in the way you calculate the results of cross tabs meant I had to redo all the math). The back end work is exhausting as well due to all the self service work you have to do on the platform.

Legacy Toluna Customer to QuickSurveys

Pros:

QuickSurveys is a more functional survey tool than other affordable / free options available in the market (question types, quotas, etc.). The ability to download results to SPSS and Excel are vital for our research team and that functionality is also available in QuickSurveys, however the dashboard interface is also easy to reference in the site.

Cons:

I am not sure I have a least favorite option, however I haven't personally launched a survey from QuickSurveys as we have used it for a historical Toluna custom tracker and have had the Toluna team handle the launching and quota fuctionality through them with a typical SOW. Therefore I can't comment on the credit system or the ease of final launch of the survey.

QuickSurveys

Comments: its a company that have lots of surveys, with different salaries to go along with lots of surveys

Pros:

The company has lots of surveys you can do and products to test to get paid for the testing................

Cons:

Sometimes the pay was low for some surveys. or no pay at all and sometimes no surveys................
