SurveyMonkey to Lay Off 100 and Retool Business Product

Re:SurveyMonkey to Lay Off 100 and Retool Business Product by petercooper on Tuesday March 01, 2016 @05:48PM (#11206755)

Founded in 1999, SurveyMonkey is valued at $2 billion

Given the stated revenue of $200M and the recent atmosphere around SaaS multiples, is a 10x valuation realistic here? (I'm not throwing shade - genuine semi-naïve question.)

It's high for even for a b2b saas company. I think another consideration that should probably bring SurveyMonkey's down is that they have great competitors.

And a pretty low barrier to entry.

I'm starting a surveymonkey competitor to get a piece of the action, if anyone wants to join forces and reap the rewards, please reply and I will contact you.

SurveyGizmo is another. Have used them for several years. My general perception over the years has been that SurveyMonkey had shinier marketing, but SurveyGizmo had a solid feature set.

For true enterprise scale, Medallia, MaritzCX, and Confirmit. For business-oriented surveying and analysis, Qualtrics is in my opinion by far the best.

Confirmit is the market leader in this space. I've evaluated the offerings of Survey Monkey enterprise and the features are not yet on par with their competitors.

We switched to sogosurvey and we see a huge difference. There are others as well but we picked them.

Here's a situation where you should also account for the $60-80m in EBITDA. Assuming they are still growing decently, it's not a huge stretch.
