Anybody use it for proper, larger scale research surveys?

I have a web company who design and host my usual online questionnaires, surveys etc and although Survey Monkey has restrictions and is a bit fiddly, for $200 a year you can have all those restrictions removed.

I often have short, fairly simple surveys to do and it seemed to me that using a web developer at £35-40 a hour might be using a sledge hammer to crack a nut?

My Company (BAE Systems) or British Aerospace to you old gits use it for all thier employee surveys.

It always copes with demand and is very straight forward to use.

I just worry that its not annonymous as us employees think when we put our real feelings down

Ps, for the record. The canteen food is diabolical

It's good except participants can't save their progress - so they can do surveys in chunks. Other than that it's pretty good.

We used it recently at an organisation, for an internal staff survey and that was an added bonus!
+1 - and if it's badly set up, all the other people doing the survey can browse responses with a bit of digging

Fair enough.

Then everyone in HR knows it was me who wrote the following.

"It would be nice once in a while not to be met with "i don't know" when they are faced with the most simple of questions"

"to be honest, most members of the HR team are just wasting the planets oxygen being alive. They would be of better use to mankind as fertiliser"
