Good extension, superb support

Good survey extension, support from the developer is really outstanding. I have been mailing back and forth a bunch of questions, all solved to my satisfaction. Clear explanation from the developer on how to further customize the extension to my needs. If you need a survey extension for your website you should really give this one a go!

this thing makes NO sense at all - not easy to use

first, its very hard to configure to start out with... not obvious how you creat a survey from the back end... WAY too focused on creating surveys from the front end at the expense of the back end... this makes no sense...

the documentation on their site is VERY little and more Q & A rather than anything that tells you how to do it... they have no videos which would help.... so far not impressed at alll.... makes me wonder where all these positive reviews are coming from ? hmmmmm

Owner's reply: It would have been helpful to everyone if you could have contacted us before posting the review. Here are clarifications:

1. No backend survey creation: Its really unfortunate that you posted negative review based on this on the same day we added this feature. And I couldn't believe the review published after 2 days of the feature addition. Again, a simple forum post could have helped you and others.

2. No documentation: I am sorry but I am not sure why you can find only couple of q&a when we have full set of documentation available here:
http://www.corejoomla.com/documentation/community-surveys.html

I have helped hundreds of users in setting up the perfect survey software on their websites and glad to help you if you post any query on the forum. If you believe videos are only tool that helps you, don't worry, that is also taken care and will be published in a couple of days.

Excellent Component with 1st Class Technical Support

This is a excellent component, it has loads of features and so far I have found it really easy to use.

I had a small issue where CSS was causing problems, support identified it and fixed it straight away.

There is also an excellent forum where questions are answered quickly by the team.

This is the level of support I look for when purchasing components. This component is worth every penny and I would definitely purchase from CoreJoomla again.

Impressive Component. Fantastic Support.

This is a superb component. I spent some considerable time looking around at various survey solutions for my Joomla! community based site, and this offered everything i was looking for and more. The interface and front-end design is really nice, beautiful and modern, and makes it feel very slick and well developed. I had some issues after installing the component into my Joomla website, support responded almost immediately and resolved my issues. Everything about this product is first class, i love the new updated version with the Bootsrap UI design , looks lovely, and the reporting data graphs and charts make it look like a highly professional and enterprise level application. Thumbs up to CoreJoomla and thank you for delivering such a quality product.

Excellent support from the developer

I've been looking for a while for a survey component to use with my very active JomSocial site. I've bought and tried a number of them, and none are exactly what I need. This one isn't exactly what I need either, but the HUGE difference is that the development team was immediately willing to consider modifications. I needed a JomSocial plugin, and they had one created in a matter of days! It's still a work in progress, but the existing functionality is perfect for a social site, and I can't wait to see what comes as this product continues to be developed! I'll definitely be looking to CoreJoomla for more components in the future.

Excellent

Easy, good interface, visually appealing, great support. Everything I need in a survey tool. Bugs were fixed literally within hours of reporting.

Slick Component and Stellar Support

I needed a native component like this for running surveys in schools having made do with the phpESP script running in an iframe within Joomla for some years. It's perfect, with a modern interface, loads of skins to suit virtually any site design, front end survey management (essential for less savvy users), decent reporting and even the ability to use a WYSIWY editor to simply embed MP3 files so that questions can be 'read' to younger children. The question piping function is useful (once you've worked out the logic!). I had an issue with looping re-directs when a user tried to access a survey already taken but this was swiftly resolved by the developer within hours of reporting and a patch created. Stellar support for such a reasonably priced component. Highly recommended.

Community Surveys - Great Extension

Jonathan Rich (1).
Posted on 10 November 2012

I did quite a bit a research to find an extension that would suit my needs: allow registered users to create and edit surveys, for survey results to be optionally public, for surveys to allow various types of questions and skip logic. Community Surveys is the only extension I found that meets all of these qualifications. It was easy to install and use. The support is the most impressive feature of CoreJoomla extensions. I usually get a response to email in a matter of minutes, and my problem is always solved within hours. I wanted a custom feature and was willing to pay for it. The tech incredibly supplied me with a free snippet of PHP code that installed the feature. The software and support is excellent.

OUTSTANDING EXTENSION!

I subscribed to both Community Polls and Community Surveys and find these extensions to be easily integrated into our site and of the utmost quality. Maverick is a TRUSTED SOURCE and is quick with support questions and assistance. He even provided some customization for our non-profit that other developers would not do.

Highly recommend these extensions to any Joomla webmaster!
