Limesurvey

LimeSurvey is a browser-based software for data gathering via online surveys. It enables users to create questionnaires within a comparatively short time and use them immediately online.

LimeSurvey offers more than 30 different types of questions (including matrix questions, scale questions, single or multiple choice, numeric input queries and open questions for free text) and supports more than 50 different languages. You can conduct surveys with an open or closed user group and define conditions for questions based on previous answers.

Of course, you can evaluate the collected data directly in LimeSurvey or export it for further use in Excel, SPSS, amongst others. You will find a complete list of features on the limesurvey.org website.
