Web Surveys: LimeSurvey
In an effort to explore alternatives to SurveyMonkey and other similar web-based survey tools we have been exploring open-source solutions. Our goal was to find a solution powerful enough to be used for the quick creation of low-end to mid-range surveys, while providing a customizable platform. During our research we came across and are now evaluating the LimeSurvey solution.
LimeSurvey Highlights
- Open-source platform: PHP and mySQL
- Advanced reporting through integration of JpGraph (open-source) and exports to SPSS.
- Integration with company directory servers (LDAP)
Our initial implementations are set to private/internal-only. As soon as we create a few public examples, we will post them here.
Hi
I am curious if you have found any solutions to the LDAP authentication?
We too are exploring it, but it appears – I hope I am wrong – that LDAP authentication is NOT possible, and that LDAP only integrates with the token creation process that Limesurvey uses to send surveys.
I’d appreciate any feedback on whether this is indeed the case.
Regards,
John
