Functionality
EZ Survey enables users to quickly create their own surveys and provides a variety of templates for user convenience. This tool offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to streamline the survey process from start to finish. It enables users to specify a large number of questions in various forms: single-choice, multiple-choice, and open questions to obtain diversified information. It’s an online editing tool: users can edit the created survey right on the spot and at the same time make on-the-fly changes to the survey if necessary.
The most intuitive part is an analytics dashboard with advanced data visualization via detailed bar and pie charts of quantitative data, while for the qualitative responses, it uses a sophisticated textual analysis in order to offer very deep insights into the survey results. What is more, EZ Survey is a cross-platform application that makes sure users are able to develop and perform their surveys wherever across all their devices, thus easing them and making hiccups in place with their use fewer.
