The Qualtrics Research Suite is an advanced online surveying tool. It allows users to build a survey using drag and drop tools. Survey authors can select from varying types of questions including multiple choice, true/false, write-in, matching, check-all-that-apply, organize lists, and more. Authors can also build in logic such as if/then to create responsive surveys that react dynamically with how the users answer. Surveys can be taken all within a browser window and can accept forms of authentication to segment intended audiences. At the conclusion of the survey, authors have a suite of analytic tools available to pull statistics from the received data.
