Compare SurveyJS vs. Terriqon

SurveyJS is a set of four open-source JavaScript libraries that offer the benefits of a tailor-made in-house survey application, while considerably reducing the time and resources needed to deploy the system. These libraries are independent of specific server code or database requirements and seamlessly integrate with popular JavaScript frameworks, including React, Angular, Vue.js, jQuery, Knockout, and more. They are designed to communicate with any server that can handle JSON requests, ensuring compatibility with various server architectures and databases. The product family is composed of: - An open-source MIT-licensed rendering library that renders dynamic JSON-based forms in your web application, and collects responses. - A self-hosted drag & drop form builder that features an integrated CSS-based theme editor and a GUI for conditional rules. It automatically generates JSON definitions (schemas) of your forms in real time. - PDF Generator, a library that renders SurveyJS surveys and forms as PDF files in a browser; - The Dashboard library that allows you to simplify survey data analysis with interactive and customizable charts and tables.

Terriqon is a platform designed for offline-first field data collection that includes an integrated AI reporting feature. Field officers can gather data on their mobile devices without needing internet connectivity, and the submissions will sync automatically once they are back online. The forms are equipped to handle GPS data, photos, skip logic, and calculations, and can directly import existing XLSForm files, allowing teams transitioning from SurveyCTO, KoboToolbox, or ODK to avoid the hassle of recreating their forms from scratch. In contrast to conventional field data tools that merely export raw data to a business intelligence application, Terriqon creates comprehensive narrative reports based on the collected data, which address various aspects such as project performance, operations, and donor and portfolio reporting, complete with an approval process before any information is disseminated externally. With role-based access controls, the platform clearly distinguishes between organization administrators, managers, and field officers. Additionally, terminology and report templates can be customized according to the type of organization, ensuring that NGOs, conservation programs, construction teams, asset inspection crews, and research organizations can all communicate using their specific language and context effectively. This tailored approach not only enhances understanding but also fosters collaboration among diverse teams working on various projects.
