Hands-on first-study setup and onboarding

How should you compare the options?

Separate the Qualtrics modules you actually use from the wider contract: surveys, interviews, analysis, reporting, administration and integrations.
Compare the complete study workflow, including participant/sample costs and researcher review, rather than only a software-seat price.
Test one representative study before deciding which contracts can be retired; proprietary norms and every module do not transfer automatically.

What should you bring?

Current software quote and billing period, if available
One representative survey or interview guide and sample export
Required logic, scoring, reports, integrations and renewal timing

What does a practical first workflow look like?

Map the current workflow and agree the software scope to be replaced.
Check export permissions and test a small data/survey import; rebuild unsupported logic explicitly.
Configure the first study and review scoring, evidence links and reporting against your acceptance checklist.
Agree the software price and launch date, train the team and run the first study with hands-on help.

What should you check before expanding?

Reconcile response counts, labels and missing values after import.
Test survey paths and scoring against known examples.
Check that the final report answers the original study brief before broader rollout.

How should you evaluate the cost?

The offer applies to agreed comparable software scope. Participant incentives, purchased sample, third-party services and taxes are separate. No guaranteed total-cost saving or blanket feature parity.

What needs checking before switching?

Check export formats, study logic, reports and required integrations before committing. Confirm rights and access to vendor-provided benchmarks, and verify which modules and workflows the new scope can replace.
