From LimeSurvey Manual
| Style | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Conditions | 1. Nice GUI for creating simple conditions 2. GUI well documented and understood by support team |
1. Only supports simple comparisons and does not AND/OR conditions well 2. Cascading conditions work erratically 3. Slow - database intensive, so can slow down long surveys 4. Some reported problems with re-loading conditions 5. GUI doesn't scale well when there are dozens, hundreds, or thousands of questions 6. May be slow to convert paper-based surveys since must use SGQA names 7. Often need a programmer to custom-code logic needed for complex branching |
| Relevance | 1. Supports very complex logic, including 80+ functions and math/string operators 2. Perfect support for cascading logic 3. Fast - no extra database calls, so supports 1000+ question surveys 4. No problems with re-loading logic since does not require SGQA codes 5. Syntax-highlighting scales to 1000+ question surveys 6. Easy and fast to use for groups wanting to computerize existing paper-based suveys. 7. Easily supports semi-structured interviews and epidemiological surveys without needing a programmers |
1. No GUI for simple conditions - use syntax-highlighting instead 2. New, so support teams have not mastered EM yet. |
