Why use the Web Survey Toolbox?

"You can do anything with it" - Web Survey Toolbox User

Compare the survey features to other tools. Though there are many other survey tools out there, most do not have the capability to do complex surveys. Web Survey Toolbox has the capability to do more complex surveys than any other tool. If the free version of Survey Monkey is all you need, there's no reason to try this tool. However, most other tools don't have these advanced features -- and no other tool can do all of this:

  1. Host your own survey server on your own computer (this can ensure data privacy and complete control of the website)
  2. Branch or randomize the survey in arbitrary ways
  3. Insert Java code into the survey to implement advanced features
  4. Runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Unix, or any other Java-enabled platform.
  5. Multiple users can edit the survey simultaneously
  6. And many more

Some of these features are available in other tools, but most often not. Compare to other tools.

Three interfaces to make a survey

Depending upon your survey's needs and your team's expertise, you can pick from several different ways to build your survey.

Simple: The simple interface lets you create a survey without any advanced features by simply using the GUI. You can create straghtforward linear surveys very easily -- this is the default interface.

Scripting: Take it one step further, and you can put scripts into a html-like file known as JSP. You can load pages of questions from the Survey Editor GUI, where the questions are editable. If you wish, you can insert arbitrary Java code to branch, randomize, and do other things with your survey.

JSP-based: If your team has a programmer, you may want to write chunks of the survey straight in JSP -- there is an interface to build questions, pages, and anything else you want from scratch straight from JSP. You can still pull other questions and bits from the Survey Editor, allowing your team to use whichever part of the interface is easiest for each part of the survey.
