Everyone who has discovered BigPulse says it is the most flexible and powerful online survey software available. It will not take you long to see why. Unleashed in full power BigPulse works like a free floating Opinion Market – harvesting and ranking opinions live and continuously from target groups. Yet in seconds the same polls can be re-configured to work like efficient high security conventional structured surveys. Easy to use and affordable.

A fully hosted online survey software service

Your online survey software and polls are hosted on our servers. It means you have no installation. You have instant access from anywhere. You have the latest version of the technology at all times. You have no website maintenance – in fact you don't even need a website.

So easy to use

Sign in to your personal BigPulse online survey manager webpage and begin by generating hundreds or thousands of survey voting accounts automatically in seconds or minutes. Then open your online surveys or polls effortlessly by selecting from a list of template poll configurations – just tailor the poll topics or questions, vote options and the poll start and close dates. Next use the integrated bulk emailer to send your people invitations to vote. The emails include an automatic sign-in link to the new online survey or poll. It means people do not need to remember or even know their personal sign-in details – just click and vote, so easy. Opinions and votes are harvested immediately and you see them counted live.

High security voting

Various security methods are available to protect the integrity of voting in your online surveys. You can start with just an email list and generate all the voting accounts automatically. Alternately you can specify the account names and bulk input them.

Interactive means all voice heard

Your online surveys and polls can be interactive. This means selected groups of people or everyone can be invited to participate in the construction of your online surveys and polls – people can submit new voting options and opinions immediately from any poll. You can accept or edit any suggestion with a single click and the relevant poll is updated or modified automatically. It's an effortless and inclusive way to construct new polls and surveys. This idea also overcomes a problem with pre-structured surveys where inevitably many people feel the voting options are too restrictive.

Repeat voting

Repeat voting is another powerful optional feature. This lets people re-visit the survey and vote again, repeatedly. It means people can express their changing opinions and priorities through time. Only the last vote for each person is counted in the vote tally so there is no risk of vote stacking regardless of how often people vote. Repeat voting also means people can correct an accidental wrong vote simply by voting again.

Anonymity and transparency options

Vote counts are always live but you can hide the vote counts from voters until you are ready to announce the poll result. If it is important that people know their vote is anonymous you can guarantee this. Alternately, the way people vote can be visible to just you. A fully transparent option also exists which means everyone can see how each person votes – like a show of hands.

Opinion Markets

The Opinion Market effect, which ranks all opinions live and continuously, is created when you use the interactive, repeat voting and transparent vote counting features together in the same poll. Opinion Markets are a BigPulse invention. These polls work without pre-structured questions or surveys. Everyone has equal control over the voting agenda. Thousands of people can all speak at the same time, expressing many different points of view. Yet a single representative group voice is visible at all times and understood at a glance. No other communication system can achieve this. More on Opinion Markets . .

Multi-user

You can nominate people to be part of your support team. These people have access to your online survey poll manager and appear in a support team list which is linked to your poll manager webpage. You can add and remove people from this support team list with a click. You can also tailor the access level allowed for each support person too.

Pulse votes

At regular intervals an automatic vote reminder email can be used to prompt poll members to vote together. It gives the forum a regular pulse.

Discussion boards

A separate discussion or debating forum can be opened for each question in the survey or even for each of the responses provided in each survey question.

Forum moderation

Whenever any of the interactive features are used you can nominate forum moderators or, if you request, a BigPulse moderator.

Vote filters

Your survey polls can include tailored vote filters which show votes from defined categories or groups of people such as region, industry type or membership type.

Survey menu

Each question in your survey or questionnaire appears in a poll menu page which can be linked to your website. As new surveys or survey questions are opened they are immediately visible from your poll menu without the need for you to add new links to your website. We can also create a special web address (URL) linked directly to your survey menu.

Your logo, banners and color themes

You can link your logo to all your polls and tailor the poll color themes to match. Also upload banners to appear in your polls.

A seasoned technology

The technology has been developed and tested in many applications over five years.

Subscription fee

The BigPulse service is available under a three, six and 12-month subscription. The fee depends on the number of users and, in the case of the fully managed service, the number of polls and projects. The fee formula includes volume discounts. See our instant fee calculator.
