Survey Software - Online Survey Tools

What is The Survey System?

The Survey System is the most complete survey software package available for working with survey questionnaires. This software is simple enough for occasional users, yet powerful and flexible enough for market researchers, pollsters, and other survey professionals. Unlike spreadsheets or general purpose statistics packages, The Survey System was designed specifically for surveys. The Survey System Version 11.0 reflects over 30 years of experience and the input of thousands of market researchers, political pollsters, human resources managers, customer service staff, health care administrators, educators, product development teams, and others in more than 50 countries.

Creative Research Systems achieved this combination of power, speed, and simplicity by making The Survey System modular. You only have to buy and learn the modules you need. You can enhance your Survey System by adding modules as your needs expand.

The Survey System handles all types of questionnaires from simple comment cards to Mobile/smartphone surveys to the most sophisticated telephone interviews and online surveys. It takes you through all aspects of the survey process from designing and printing a questionnaire through producing professional quality tables and graphics. You can easily enter and edit the data, spell check the text, and calculate complex statistics and necessary sample sizes. We offer telephone sample management and multi-user network support. You can incorporate sound and graphic images into the interviewing process. You can even record respondents' answers in their own voices. This feature makes the most impressive research presentations ever!

The Survey System Saves You Time

The Survey System is easy to learn and use. It uses standard Windows pull-down menus and dialog boxes. There are no commands to memorize. You can use a mouse or keyboard. One keystroke opens a context-sensitive Help window, which explains your options. There is a tutorial to get you started.

The Survey System's philosophy is do the work only once and then reuse it. If you already have a questionnaire in the form of a Word .doc file or an .rtf file, you can import it directly into The Survey System.

Other time-savers:

Enter question and answer choice labels only once.

Use the same instructions to put questions on the screen for data entry and to produce paper, Web page or Mobile/smartphone questionnaire forms, tables, text reports, and graphics.

Re-use questions in study after study, without re-typing them.

Create re-usable custom table, chart and Web questionnaire formats.

Professional Reports

The Survey System's tables are camera-ready for professional presentations. This site features sample tables, charts, and other reports produced with this software.

You can produce many different kinds of tables. Most tables can have a "banner" format. A banner is an expansion of the cross-tabbing found in general statistics or database packages. Banners can show answers given by the entire sample and up to 60 sub-groups within the sample on the same page. The Professional Edition produces attractive reports showing the text of responses to open-ended questions.

Many options allow you to customize your reports and enhance their visual appeal:
