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.

However, most other tools don't have these advanced features -- and no other tool can do all of this:
Some of these features are available in other tools, but most often not. Compare to other tools.
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.
