Evaluate a survey: You can find professional real-time analyses in the free license of the QuestionPro survey software

In one of our previous blog posts, we showed you the comprehensive question types that the web-based survey software QuestionPro already offers you in the basic version.

On the other hand, you were able to find out which functions are available to you when publishing and distributing surveys. Now we'll turn our attention to real-time analysis and reporting, i.e. how you can evaluate surveys and analyse data in real time.

Evaluate a survey with real-time analysis: That’s why it’s so important!

Real-time analyses help you make quick decisions that are highly relevant to your company’s success. This means you can initiate changes immediately and quickly see whether your measures are actually having an effect. Real-time analyses give you the agility you need to survive in your target markets and always stay one step ahead of the competition. Evaluating surveys with real-time analyses significantly speeds up your decision-making processes. For example, marketing managers can use real-time analysis to quickly see whether an online advertising campaign is meeting expectations. If you do not do so, this advertising campaign can be canceled immediately. Or think of the vaccine research for the corona pandemic. Here, real-time analyses have significantly accelerated clinical studies. Market research also benefits from real-time analysis. For example, when it comes to bringing a product onto the market, because a quick product launch offers significant market advantages! Therefore, you should evaluate your surveys in real time.

Graphical real-time analyses and evaluations of surveys are easily created

If you evaluate your surveys with QuestionPro's real-time analysis tools, you will always have an up-to-date view of your survey data. So you don't have to wait until the end of a survey process until you can evaluate your survey and see the first results. Recognize trends and tendencies from survey data obtained in real time while watching! And QuestionPro's real-time analysis dashboard is freely configurable: you decide what you want to see and what you don't want to see. And who can and can’t see your real-time analytics. You can filter the evaluation of your survey according to all possible variables. You also have access to all scientific options for data visualization, such as radars, bar or pie charts, cross tables, and time series analyses. Whatever you prefer for your real-time analysis!

Evaluate survey and participant statistics in real time

The real-time analyses in QuestionPro contain important meta-information about the ongoing survey itself, such as how many participants have opened the questionnaire so far and filled it out completely or partially. This evaluation also provides information about the dropout rate, i.e. how many people started the survey but then stopped working on it.

You will also be interested to know which devices the survey participants used to take part in the survey. The location is also included so that you can filter your feedback by region.

Detailed participant statistics in real time provide information about how many survey participants accessed, started and completed the survey or dropped out. The drop-out real-time analysis, which you can see in the following screenshot, provides information about which question most survey participants dropped out of.

Distribution and publication of evaluations and real-time analyses

If you evaluate your survey with QuestionPro, you can of course print out your real-time analyses and real-time reports with QuestionPro or export them as a PDF, for example. You can also extract individual elements for a PowerPoint presentation using a screenshot. And if you would like to easily integrate your real-time analyses on a website, a code snippet is available for this purpose. Smart is also the variant of distributing real-time analyses via email with just a few mouse clicks. And to ensure that third parties do not gain unauthorized access to your real-time analyses, the evaluations can also be protected with a password. The topic of security is fundamentally a central concern for QuestionPro, as you can read in the following article.

Evaluate surveys with external tools: Complete raw data export for real-time analysis in third-party systems

With QuestionPro, starting with the Advanced license, it is of course also possible for you to download the complete raw data file of your real-time analysis and thus evaluate your survey with external data mining and statistical tools. You can even refine your export and adapt it to your personal wishes. This means you can also evaluate your surveys with other systems, such as SPSS or Excel.

Evaluate free texts and comments in online surveys in real time

Another very exciting feature of QuestionPro is the evaluation, analysis and display of open free text comments from surveys in real time using semantic text analysis. These can easily be tagged, given connotations (positive, neutral, negative) and thus displayed graphically as an evaluation. It is also possible to generate real-time analyses from free text comments fully automatically, namely using automated and AI-based text analysis.

Another variant of displaying free text comments in QuestionPro is the so-called tag cloud, also known as word cloud or word cloud. The word cloud is also displayed using real-time analysis and updated fully automatically.

Additional professional real-time analysis features for evaluating surveys

Even the basic version of QuestionPro offers you a wealth of evaluation and visualization functions for evaluating surveys. The extended license variants offer a number of other interesting features, such as MS Word and PowerPoint export, multi-level filtering, the generation of a tag cloud from free text questions or the export of data directly to SPSS. Crosstabs, data segmentation, weighting, correlations are further features of the extended license variants.
