6 Best Employee Survey Tools in 2023

Zoho Survey is a feature-rich online survey tool that provides users with a robust range of features, such as skip logic, automatic benchmarking, and real-time reporting. You can choose from 25+ survey question types, including multiple-choice, rating scale, and open-ended questions. The tool also offers custom branding, response notifications, and real-time reporting to help users gather insights efficiently.

Zoho Survey, SurveyMonkey, and Connecteam are the only three survey tools in this list with multilingual support, skip logic features, and automatic scheduling. However, Zoho Survey has a wider range of survey and advanced question types. It also supports more languages, making it a good choice for businesses with a global customer base.

Zoho Survey earned an overall score of 4.56 out of 5 in our evaluation. It earned perfect scores in survey design and customization, data security, ease of use, and popularity. In terms of design and customization, it offers more than 250 customizable templates. On the other hand, it got a low score in integration because even though it integrates with Zoho apps, it has limited third-party integrations compared to some of its competitors.

SurveyMonkey is an online survey platform that allows users to create, distribute, and analyze surveys for various purposes, including market research, customer feedback, and employee engagement. It provides a user-friendly interface and robust features to collect and interpret data effectively, making it a popular choice for individuals, businesses, and organizations.

It integrates with more than a hundred apps and tools, such as Slack, Trello, and Google Sheets, that help users streamline workflows and improve efficiency. Despite its survey capabilities, it landed the 2nd spot on our list because of its pricing. Although its basic plan is similar to Zoho Survey, its higher plans are more expensive.

With an overall score of 4.5 out of 5, SurveyMonkey earned perfect marks in design and customization, ease of use, popularity, data security, and integrations. SurveyMonkey’s surveys are not limited to employee feedback collection but can also be used for almost anything, from product launch surveys to customer feedback.

monday.com is a project management tool with an employee survey function. Its integration with other project management tools on the platform allows for seamless follow-up on employee feedback and improvement of team productivity.

One of the key features of this tool is its analytics capabilities. You can view survey responses in real time and generate reports that show trends and insights over time. You can also segment data by team, department, or other criteria to get a more detailed understanding of employee feedback.

Although monday.com scored lower than Zoho Survey, SurveyMonkey, and Officevibe, it still got an impressive 4.41 out of 5 rating. Thanks to its wide range of data visualizations and integration, users can view data in different perspectives and they can use it with the other tools they have.

What it lacks is the ability to create surveys in different languages, send follow-ups to survey takers, and skip logic features. This limits you from creating more complex survey types unlike SurveyMonkey and Zoho Survey.

If you are looking for an employee survey tool with a strong focus on employee engagement, Officevibe is for you. It offers pulse surveys and feedback tools to gather employee input and provides actionable insights to help managers identify areas for improvement. Additionally, it includes features for recognition and rewards, learning and development, and anonymous feedback, making it a comprehensive tool for improving workplace culture and performance.

Officevibe earned an overall score of 4.29 out of 5 in our evaluation, with perfect scores in data security, integration, and pricing. Unlike the other survey tools, it has no offline mode; thus, you cannot access surveys if you’re not connected to the internet.

Also, it doesn’t have automatic scheduling, so follow-ups are done manually. Its data export and auto benchmarking features are only available in its higher plans—so you need to pay more if you want to have these features. Lastly, Officevibe doesn’t have a mobile version like the other survey tools on this list.

While most of the employee survey tools on this list have a mobile version, only Connecteam is optimized for mobile devices both in terms of design and functionality. It has mobile-specific features, such as push notifications and geolocation. Push notifications ensure that your surveys are not overlooked, while the geolocation feature gives you more context where most of your respondents come from.

Like SurveyMonkey and Zoho Survey, Connecteam has multilingual support and skip logic, which allows greater flexibility and customization with your surveys. It also sends automatic follow-ups to respondents to remind them to answer the survey.

Connecteam got an overall score of 4.16 out of 5, with a perfect score for pricing, data privacy, and integrations. Its download limitations and lack of automatic benchmarking features brought its score down.

Lattice can be particularly useful for performance management because it has clear performance expectations, feedback processes, and goal-setting features even in its lower-priced plans. Aside from its surveys, it also has individual development plans, engagement training, and compensation reviews. These tools are extremely helpful for organizations that don’t have dedicated HR teams.

Based on our evaluation, Lattice earned an overall rating of 4.08 out of 5. It didn’t get a higher score because it lacks automatic scheduling and skip logic features in its survey. It also doesn’t have a free version or free trial like the other survey tools on this list. If you want to experience Lattice, you have to request a demo.

Lattice has a unique pricing scheme compared to other employee survey tools on this list. It groups features and tools by its intended purpose—Engagement, Grow, Compensation, and Performance Management. For example, if your focus is employee engagement, you simply choose the Engagement plan, which contains features and tools to help you with your employee engagement initiative.

In terms of user feedback, many users love Lattice’s pulse surveys, which help them collect quick feedback and capture overall employee sentiment. They added that these surveys have helped them bring personalized development plans to team members.
