Eval25 vs Qualtrics

Eval25 is a web evaluation system for higher-education institutions, serving administrators, instructors, and students. Institutions can create custom questions for courses, instructors, training sessions, classroom spaces, and other subjects. Students complete evaluations on computers, smartphones, or tablets, including feedback about physical and virtual spaces. Administrators track response activity in real time, send reminders, and offer incentives such as early access to grades. Reports can be customized, shared, exported as Excel or XML, and printed as PDFs. An LTI integration lets users open Eval25 from a learning-management-system link, with credentials required for installation. The system can import space-satisfaction data into the 25Live scheduling system. CollegeNET says Eval25 encrypts sensitive information in transit and data at rest, is SOC 2 and PCI-DSS compliant, and undergoes yearly audits plus quarterly external network scans. Space satisfaction, inter-institutional benchmarking, and additional 25Live capabilities are described as future features. Pricing is available through an account manager, which also provides product information and demonstrations.

Qualtrics provides survey tools and an experience-management platform called XM Data & AI, which combines experience data with human context to support decisions and outcomes. Its free Qualtrics Surveys account is for one user and allows three active surveys, 30 questions per survey and 500 total responses. It includes skip, display and branch logic. The Strategic Research plan costs $420.00 per month, billed as $5,040 annually, for 1,000 responses shared across users; it also supports unlimited users and surveys, and includes 23 question types. A 30-day Strategic Research trial provides access to most premium features, with some restrictions; without an upgrade, it downgrades to the free account. Paid plans include more than 20 guided research solutions and advanced analysis such as crosstabs, statistical tools and generative-AI video summaries. Surveys support more than 70 languages, while dashboards support 24. Data exports include CSV, TSV, Excel and SPSS, among other formats. Qualtrics offers API access. Its Strategic Research Custom plan is for enterprise organizations needing higher response volumes, with pricing based on interactions and 5,000 or more responses.
