Overview

GetFeedback, Inc. develops and markets customer experience survey software targeting businesses that use Salesforce as their primary CRM. Its flagship product line has historically comprised two distinct products: GetFeedback Direct, a Salesforce-integrated tool for relational and transactional surveys (NPS, CSAT, CES) distributed via email and SMS [1]; and GetFeedback Digital, a website and in-app feedback tool that is a reworked version of Usabilla, a digital feedback platform also acquired by SurveyMonkey [2]. The company sits at the intersection of the survey software and VoC platform categories, with its primary differentiator being deep, native integration with the Salesforce ecosystem [3]. As of 2026, it operates as a product brand within SurveyMonkey's enterprise portfolio, and the GetFeedback Direct product is scheduled for retirement on December 31, 2026, with customers directed to migrate to SurveyMonkey Enterprise [4]. GetFeedback Digital continues to operate under the GetFeedback brand [5].

History

GetFeedback, Inc. was founded in 2013 by former Salesforce executives Kraig Swensrud and Sean Whiteley [6]. The company raised a Series A funding round in September 2014 with participation from Salesforce Ventures, totaling approximately $2.3M in disclosed funding [7]. On August 5, 2019, SurveyMonkey announced its acquisition of GetFeedback for $68 million in a cash-and-stock transaction [8]. Following the acquisition, SurveyMonkey rebranded itself as Momentive Global Inc. in June 2021, with GetFeedback becoming part of the Momentive product portfolio alongside SurveyMonkey and TechValidate [9]. In fall 2020, SurveyMonkey consolidated GetFeedback and Usabilla into a unified CX platform under the GetFeedback brand, with Usabilla rebranded as GetFeedback Digital [10]. In March 2023, Symphony Technology Group (STG) acquired Momentive in a $1.5 billion all-cash transaction, after which the parent company reverted to the SurveyMonkey brand [11]. A proposed acquisition of Momentive by Zendesk, announced in October 2021 and valued at approximately $4 billion, was ultimately terminated after Zendesk shareholders voted against the deal [12].

Market Position

GetFeedback is categorized in the voice-of-customer (VoC) platform and survey software markets. The platform established a presence on the Salesforce AppExchange, where it was listed as a top-rated customer feedback solution [13]. Notable customer references in publicly available vendor communications have included PUMA, Yeti, Toyota, Carrefour, Fitbit, Nike, and Medtronic [14]. A 2021 Gartner Critical Capabilities assessment, as cited in third-party analysis, noted limitations in GetFeedback's tooling for indirect and inferred data collection and constrained analysis types, and rated it lower for B2C and B2B2C use cases [15]. Info-Tech Research Group (SoftwareReviews) assigned GetFeedback a composite score of 7.5 out of 10 in the Voice of the Customer category [16]. Third-party review platforms position GetFeedback primarily as a mid-market CX survey tool well suited to Salesforce-centric organizations, with commentators noting it is less equipped for large enterprises requiring complex program governance [15].

Competition

GetFeedback competes in the CX survey and VoC platform segments against a range of vendors. Its most frequently cited direct competitors include Qualtrics, Medallia, InMoment, and SurveyMonkey Enterprise (its own parent brand's offering) [17]. In analyses of the Salesforce feedback tool market, GetFeedback Direct has been contrasted with Qualtrics — which also offers Salesforce integration but is characterized as a broader enterprise research stack with more advanced analytics — and Medallia, which targets large enterprises with higher price points and broader unstructured data capabilities [18]. A published assessment specifically characterized GetFeedback as better suited to mid-sized businesses and Salesforce-centric teams, while Medallia focuses primarily on enterprise [19]. Third-party analysis notes that GetFeedback's value is substantially diminished outside the Salesforce ecosystem, distinguishing it from general-purpose tools like SurveyMonkey or Typeform and from platform-agnostic CX suites like Medallia and InMoment [20]. CustomerGauge, AskNicely, and Zonka Feedback are also cited as competitors in the Salesforce-integrated VoC niche [21].

Editorial note: The exact employee count for GetFeedback, Inc. as a standalone entity (separate from the broader SurveyMonkey/Momentive parent) could not be verified from a reliable independent source; estimates on data aggregator sites conflict significantly and are not included. Pre-acquisition revenue figures for GetFeedback, Inc. as an independent company are not publicly disclosed and could not be sourced from a reliable tier-1 publication. The identities of all co-founders are somewhat inconsistent across sources — Crunchbase lists Bing Yang and Gopal Patel in addition to Kraig Swensrud and Sean Whiteley, while most trade press references only Swensrud and Whiteley; this discrepancy was not resolved and only the two widely cited founders are named in the entry. The Gartner Critical Capabilities report citation on GetFeedback's scoring is sourced from a third-party blog (CustomerGauge) rather than directly from Gartner, which would require a paid subscription to verify.
