I teach High School and started using the website for testing. The problem I have is that when it comes time for the students to take the online tests, the website constantly hangs up and students cannot finish the test! This happens a lot! Very frustrating!
I only needed the software/service for a specific purpose and was willing to buy a full subscription to get the bells and whistles I needed. I created a series of 30-question quizzes as well as a consolidated quiz from those. It worked very well and was very easy to use. Pictures, question options, randomizing options, reporting--all of it worked without any trouble. Twice I reached out to them by their Contact Us option and both times (a year apart) I received a timely phone call. (You might want to add their number to your phone so you know it's not spam.) Was very pleased with the service and the results of the quizzes.
I have used the quiz, survey, and course-making tools on ProProfs and have found them easy to use and effective. I even used the survey maker to create a signed form for some contractors I hired, and it worked really well. Instead of having tons of paperwork to handle, I get them to sign on the survey and then can keep everything organized on my online ProProfs account.
It is a huge time saver. Before ProProfs, I would have to grade multiple quizzes a day for ~200 students. With ProProfs, students move at their own pace and I have more time for actual reteaching and small group instruction. My students get instant results of their performance and they can retest until they have demonstrated mastery. I have observed an increase of self confidence, better and long retention of knowledge. Last year, my science students grew over three points (roughly three grade levels) on the ACT. It's great!
I have been using ProProfs in my classroom for years. The functions are easy to use and allow me to create challenging tests in different formats. I also like the instant analysis of answers it provides. This is a Great Product!

With ProProfs, running employee assessments was super easy and effective. I could easily create training courses and add quizzes to them I used to create with ProProfs Quiz Maker. At the end of each training lesson, the employees would take the quiz that was automatically graded and I received the reports in real-time. The reports were downloadable so I could review them anytime, anywhere.
I subscribed to ProProfs to collect student responses for a time sensitive project. ProProfs lost 75% of my students' responses, failed to call with a solution after promising to do so, failed to respond to my emails, and then refused to refund my subscription, even though I got no use out of the program whatsoever. Service is terrible, the tool is undependable, and the site doesn't care. Cost me precious time and money.
Great concept of a website that allows people to create quizzes and flash cards and share them. If it catches on students studying similar subjects could combine their efforts to make flash cards and share them online.
I'm a middle school teacher using Chromebooks in the classroom. I have an assignment that requires my students to create an online quiz related to an EDPulzzle video. "proprofs" is a very user-friendly product! Thanks for helping us transition into a Blending Classroom environment!
A really good thing about the site is that the pages load really fast. For a site that has quite a lot of features, that's pretty awesome. Another thing I like is the feature of embedding quizzes to your website. Nice work. Keep it up.
Answer: Did you decide which to use? Survey Monkey is for surveying while PP does so much more. I use SM for surveys but for any graphics questions, etc I use PP every time with success. It can do all you want. Need more details?
