Not necessary to be a freeware. We want to buy the professional package which has to be more practical than SPSS.
For online surveys, I would greatly recommend GoogleForms and SurveyMonkey.
They are mostly practical to collect the data which can be downloaded easily as CLS (I Think) or XLS. I tend to use GoogleForms and then transpose the data to Matlab/SPSS/R as neccessary.
Hi Mutlu Turkmen: I would like to suggest the following
Basic Survey Tools: SurveyMonkey (www.surveymonkey.com), Zoomerang (www.zoomerang.com), PollDaddy (www.polldaddy.com)
Lower cost Survey Tools: Constant Contact (www.constantcontact.com), FormSite (www.formsite.com):
More advanced Survey Tools: Qualtrics (www.qualtrics.com):, QuestionPro (www.questionpro.com), LimeSurvey (www.limesurvey.org):, Key Survey (www.keysurvey.com): Thanks & Regards
Once again I would like recommend 1KA. This software, along with server, is free to use and is compatible with most popular statistical packages. It has greater flexibility than eg LimeSurvey.
I do not understand the condition "more practical than SPSS" because it is enough if the data is available in common format and you can use it in SPSS or Statistica or R or anything you wish.
I think you need to clarify whether you are looking for a program to collect survey data (such as SurveyMonkey or Qaultrics) versus a program to analyze survey data (such as SPSS). Or are you hoping to find something that does both?
Qualtrics is a little more robust than SurveyMonkey but I agree with David Morgan's comments.
Hi David,
You are totally right. We need a program which would be practical for both aspects.
David's clarification question is a good one. Having run many surveys (only a few online) and many analyses, I'm not sure you're going to find one program that does everything. I'm sure I'm missing something, though. But in general I've found that "one stop shopping" software rarely exists, even if the companies claim their software can do everything. I would advise using the best survey software you can afford and the best analytic software you can afford. You'll get better quality software that way, and you can build the in-between.
You are right Matt. After searching these programs, I also come to decision that 2 seperate software will be more useful for our purpose.
