Native Salesforce Survey vs Integrated Survey Tool: Cost, Security and Data Control Compared
Salesforce survey tools split into two architectures: native apps that run entirely inside your org, and integrated tools that live on outside servers and sync data in through an API. That single difference decides what you pay, how exposed your data is, and who actually controls it.
Native tools store every response as a Salesforce record. Integrated tools store it somewhere else first, then push a copy over. For teams weighing GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2 obligations, that's not a minor technical detail. It's the whole decision.
