We’ve been increasing the use of online surveys greatly in my district this year. We love how easy it is to gather feedback following a staff meeting, from parents and others during a curriculum adoption, or as a customer satisfaction instrument for my technology department. Here’s what I really like about SurveyGizmo:

• The SurveyGizmo interface is full of tasty Web 2.0 goodness. Various options and settings open without a full page reload which makes building a survey much more like a desktop application. The look and feel overall is clean and modern in contrast to many of the online tools which look a bit clunky to me.
• The SurveyGizmo enterprise account provides 20 separate survey users. This will enable each school and district office department to have their own account.
• Here’s a huge one for me: they have a full API! In particular, I’m excited to see that you can pass information into a SurveyGizmo survey from another web form or via a web link. I’ve been looking for a way to use an online survey to collect customer satisfaction data as my tech department resolves trouble tickets for staff members. The API would really make that easier.
• Other features of note: full support for branching surveys with really complex logic (can even use regular expression matching for full geek compatibility), tons of built-in question types including some I haven’t seen anywhere else, private domain name, and many more really cool advanced features.

So I’d say give it a try. Full disclosure: the SurveyGizmo links in this post are affiliate links.
