I am looking for alternatives to Survey Monkey survey software right now. I am going to need to conduct an online web survey in the near future, and I need something that will allow me to install the software on my own web server and to keep all the data in-house. This is for security reasons that have been dictated by the organization I am running the survey for, so using a web based survey program that is not self-hosted is simply not an option.

That not only rules out Survey Monkey, but also many of the alternatives such as Survey Gizmo. Additionally, it will be important that the software be easy to use, and so that rules out many of the more professionally-oriented survey packages such as Qualtrics. What we need is a survey system that can be used by anyone, that offers a nice balance of usability and power, and that will allow us to generate nice reports on the fly so that the executives will be able to see survey results in a way that is easy to access, secure, and informative.

We have done a significant amount of web searching, and have managed to dig up some good survey monkey alternatives, with comparable features, competitive pricing, the ability to host your own web survey software. There are no shortage of survey software reviews on the internet, but I wanted to turn it over to the readers of this site to suggest web based survey software that you have used in similar enterprise applications and had success with. What we really want to know are not just the strengths of each of these survey solutions, which are all listed prominently on the vendor’s web sites, but rather the shortcomings of each one. Of the survey software packages you have employed, what have been your least favorite things about them?
