6 Best Enterprise Survey Software in 2025

When selecting an enterprise survey software, consider these key elements:

• Advanced survey capabilities: Enterprise solutions should provide sophisticated questionnaire design tools and precise audience targeting options. If any of these areas are lacking (e.g., you’re unable to set up sophisticated branching logic or the software is missing filters to target your exact audience), then your data quality can suffer as a result.

• Powerful analytics tools: Look for platforms that make it easy to create custom charts (using multiple variables) and build presentation-ready visualizations in your brand’s colors, without requiring external software.

• Service model flexibility: In some cases, you might prefer running DIY surveys independently. However, when needed, you should have access to full-service options. This is particularly valuable when you’re facing tight deadlines, lack internal expertise, and need to ensure the highest quality standards for critical research initiatives.

• Clear & transparent pricing: The cost of your survey should be transparent and clearly visible as you build it, ensuring no unexpected charges or hidden fees.

• Unlimited seats & no license fees: The best enterprise survey platforms allow you to add an unlimited number of team members without incurring additional costs.

• Administrative & collaboration features: The best enterprise platforms should make it easy to add and manage users, share survey access and collaborate across different departments, create organized project folders, enable easy and secure employee sign-in via SSO (Single Sign-On), etc.

• High-quality audience data, rapid turnaround times, and other enterprise-grade essentials.

In this post, we’ll start by discussing the key advantages of choosing Pollfish, our enterprise survey software. Then, we’ll discuss other solutions to help you make an informed decision.

High-Quality Audience Data You Can Confidently Rely On

Since Pollfish owns and operates our own first-party respondent communities through parent company Prodege, we maintain strict quality controls throughout the entire data collection process. Our recent article, “3 Survey Data Quality Issues Sabotaging Your Research (& How We Fix Them)” details these measures, including:

❇️ Verifying respondent identities through diverse activities: We verify respondent identities through activities beyond surveys, such as watching videos, playing games, or shopping online. These activities help us confirm that panelists are real people and not bots, which is increasingly important with the rise of AI.

❇️ 14-Day Evaluation Period: Before taking client surveys, new panelists must complete extensive internal surveys designed to filter out low-quality responders.

❇️ Purchase receipts enable verification of self-reported preferences: When panelists upload purchase receipts, we may cross-reference this data with their profiles. For example, if someone frequently buys dog food but their profile indicates they don’t have any pets, we may flag this for review.

❇️ Trust Scores: Each panelist has a trust score, with higher scores leading to more earning opportunities (which incentivizes higher quality survey responses).

❇️ Fraud Detection Technologies: We use advanced fraud detection technologies, including multi-level registration verification (e.g., CAPTCHA, Device ID Reputation, 100% Double Opt-In, etc.), tech consistency (carrier/targeting alignment check), single user IDs, sophisticated anti-VPN measures, and more.

❇️ Manual Review of Open-Ended Responses: Each and every open-ended response is manually reviewed by our team to ensure quality.

As several Pollfish customers have stated on Trustpilot:

“The most important point to make is that I trust the responses of my survey. My target audience was very specific and I could tell that the responses were legitimately coming [from] subjects in my target audience.”

Transparent Pay-Per-Response Pricing, Unlimited Seats & No License Fees

Many competing enterprise survey platforms charge high monthly subscription fees, with significant additional costs for each new user.

❇️ In contrast, Pollfish charges only per response, and allows unlimited seats at no extra cost. This is a major advantage for large enterprise companies with numerous departments and employees who need access to the platform (whether to launch surveys, view and analyze results, and so on).

❇️ As you build your survey, pricing is always clearly displayed upfront, with no surprise or hidden fees.

Here’s a breakdown of the survey cost example above:

• Base Cost: Each response costs $0.95.
• Added Filters: Three extra filters (Marital Status, Number of Children, Pets in Household) are applied, each adding $0.55 to the cost per response.
• Adjusted Cost: With these filters, the cost per response is now $2.60 ($0.95 + $0.55 + $0.55 + $0.55).
• Total Survey Cost: For 500 completed responses, the total survey cost is visibly displayed upfront as $1,300 ($2.60 x 500).
• Dynamic Pricing Calculator: See the total survey cost instantly update as you add or remove additional filters. Pricing is transparent at all times.

As several Pollfish customers have stated on Trustpilot:

“The dollar amount they quote you in their cost calculator tool, and the number they show when you’re developing the survey, is the number you pay. I was burned multiple times by [competitor] charging me unexpected amounts and making it difficult to quit an expensive subscription. I’m so happy to have found Pollfish as an alternative. Their support team also responds VERY quickly to chat messages and has been tremendously helpful the few times I had questions.”

“The pricing is clear and transparent from the beginning. The results come quickly and can be downloaded in different formats and with different filters. What we like most is the ability to filter the results and analyze them separately for each segment. We highly recommend this platform.”

“They charge based on the completed response. It is very fair and transparent. As a researcher, I have used many survey platforms, but they are the best so far.”

Fast Turnaround Times (From a Few Hours to Several Days)

Because Pollfish owns and manages its own respondent communities (through parent company Prodege), we are able to deliver incredibly fast turnaround times.

❇️ For general population audiences, you can receive several hundred responses in just a few hours, as several customers have noted:

“I needed a 25 question survey answered, and was able to get 500 completed surveys in 8 hours with Pollfish. The presentation of the results is very impressive and the demographics information Pollfish provided is invaluable.”

“Much more affordable than all the alternatives I found, and I had all my results ready within just a couple of hours.”

❇️ For more specific audience segments (e.g., pet owners in NYC earning over $100,000 who frequently buy dog food), the turnaround time is naturally longer, typically a couple of days. As several customers have noted:

“I’m amazed at how quickly the platform was able to deliver rich, segmentable data from over 500 respondents. I had feature-ready insights in only 3 days.”
