Help Desk & IT Support Experience Survey
Measures how easily customers or employees got their issue resolved through your help desk — first-contact resolution, effort, agent quality — for one specific support interaction. An AI follow-up interview reconstructs exactly what caused friction (or what went smoothly) so support leaders know what to fix, not just how people rated it.

Q09
AI Interview
Reconstruct exactly what happened during this specific support interaction: what the issue was, what the respondent had to do to get it resolved, and where the friction (or delay) actually occurred. If they said it took multiple contacts or rated effort/satisfaction low, dig into what the agent could have done differently on that first contact. If they rated the experience highly, probe what specifically made it feel effortless so it can be replicated across the team.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes a dedicated AI follow-up interview question that reconstructs exactly what happened during the specific support interaction, going beyond a single satisfaction number to uncover root causes of friction
- Combines standard first-contact-resolution and effort metrics (opinion scale, multiple choice) with a matrix of agreement statements and an agent knowledge/professionalism rating, giving both quantitative and qualitative signal in one flow
- Captures channel used vs. channel preferred for the future plus contact frequency and respondent type, so support leaders can segment friction points by channel and user group
- Automatically compiles responses into a report for support operations, so the reconstructed narrative from the AI interview doesn't get lost in a spreadsheet of ratings
QuestionPro
IT Help Desk Service Support Survey + Sample Questionnaire TemplateThis page reads as a sample questionnaire and guide as much as a ready-to-field template, mixing example questions with explanatory content. It covers standard help desk satisfaction topics but is built on QuestionPro's traditional survey engine. Useful as a question-bank reference rather than a plug-and-play interview flow.
What it does well
- Backed by QuestionPro's established survey platform with broad question-type support
- Provides sample questions covering common IT support satisfaction dimensions
- Likely customizable within a mature survey builder ecosystem
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe why a rating was given — respondents just answer fixed questions
- Presented partly as a guide/sample list rather than a single deployable template, requiring setup work
- No transparent, publishable prompt methodology since there's no AI interview component
Jotform
Help Desk Survey Form TemplateA static, fielding-ready form built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder, suited for quick deployment and integration with Jotform's broader workflow tools. It focuses on form collection rather than conversational depth. Good for basic ticket-close satisfaction capture, not root-cause analysis.
What it does well
- Easy to deploy quickly via Jotform's widely-used form builder
- Integrates with Jotform's automation and notification ecosystem
- Simple, familiar form format for respondents
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interview or voice interview option to reconstruct what happened during the support interaction
- Purely a static question set with no automated per-response quality scoring
- No mechanism to dig deeper into why an issue took multiple contacts or felt effortful
SurveyMonkey
Help Desk TemplateA standard, ready-to-use static survey template from SurveyMonkey's large template library, likely covering satisfaction, resolution, and agent performance basics. It's built for quick fielding rather than deep qualitative reconstruction of an incident. Strong for benchmarking scores across many responses at scale.
What it does well
- Backed by SurveyMonkey's large-scale distribution and benchmarking features
- Fielding-ready template that can be launched immediately
- Familiar, trusted survey format for respondents
Where it falls short
- No AI-driven follow-up interview to uncover the specific friction points behind a low score
- Lacks automated per-response quality scoring or guided screen-share tasks
- No transparent prompt methodology since it doesn't use AI interviewing at all
SurveySparrow
IT Help Desk Questionnaire TemplateSurveySparrow's conversational form style makes this template feel more chat-like than a typical grid survey, which is a genuine strength for engagement. However, its conversational flow follows pre-set branching logic rather than a true adaptive AI interview that reconstructs an incident narrative. It's a ready-to-field template within their platform.
What it does well
- Conversational, chat-style UI that can feel more engaging than static grids
- Ready-to-field template within SurveySparrow's platform
- Supports branching logic for some personalization
Where it falls short
- Conversational UI is not the same as an adaptive AI follow-up interview that probes based on the respondent's specific answers
- No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share task capability
- No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt disclosure
