Very poor customer service" — 2.0/5 > **Ian** | *1 September 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Comprehensive features for creating surveys > > **Cons**: Old fashioned and hard to use UI with plenty of bug. Lock you into a subscription with no advance warning of payment and will not refund. > > Below average - the UI is very hard to manage and is buggy. ----- ### "Professional tool for survey" — 5.0/5 > **Minh** | *11 March 2025* | Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Editable and professional survey platform > > **Cons**: You need to spend time on finding a suitable coding. The program will be better if all possible coding are transferred to friendly-user choices. Just choose what you want by click and done. > > Useful tool for survey. But it is not easy for those who have not got coding background. I spent time on forum to find solutions. Luckily experts at forum are very supportive. They helped me a lot. The completed survey is awesome. ----- ### "Iurie in tandem with LimeSurvey" — 5.0/5 > **Iurie** | *15 October 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to use, attractive design, functionalities for all needs > > **Cons**: During the entire period of use, I encountered no difficulties > > Easy to use, intuitive and with many options for all needs ----- ### "We use LimeSurvey to conduct internal program surveys." — 4.0/5 > **Chris** | *9 June 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that is free and easy to use. It has a format that is similar to common online review sites that people are familiar with. It gives a robust set of polls and fillin options. > > **Cons**: The administrative panel and review results could be better designed and easier to read. A clearer one-page summary of the results would be helpful. ----- ### "Experience with LimeSurvey" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 October 2018* | International Affairs | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Depending on the scale and complexity of your surveys, LimeSurvey can be either fairly straightforward and easy to learn or would require more time to get an in-depth understanding of all its features, which require advanced programming skills related to web development (CSS, JavaScript, JSON). The platform is open-source and is regularly updated. Can be either used hosted by its developers or installed on your local server, which allows for more customization. It has several licenses to choose from if you prefer to use it hosted. It is based on Bootstrap 3 and has a sophisticated theme editor, which needs to be used for adjusting themes according to your wishes. It has a nice Stats feature that provides a quick analysis of collected data in real-time. Although, it is mostly helpful when you use default question types without extensive modifications with JavaScript. It is available in various languages, which is useful for international surveys. > > **Cons**: Even though the platform is well maintained, there are still minor bugs/issues that come up once in a while, when you start using it on a regular basis. And because it's an open-source product, it is not as extensively supported as a fully commercial product would be in this regard. Thus, it often takes some time for bugs to be fixed. Also, it has its limitations when it comes to some complex question types, as it has its own set of default questions and other platforms might have a larger variety of questions to use, which might save time when creating a survey. > > My team uses LimeSurvey for collecting data on a national and international levels, and it has suited most of our needs so far. My overall experience has been largely positive and the support team has been fairly responsive, providing me with advice on a number of occasions. However, you have to have a professional license for that. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/145614/limesurvey?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/145614/limesurvey) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
