AI360Feedback vs SurveyMonkey for 360 feedback

Many people run their first 360 in a general survey tool. SurveyMonkey has a free 360 template, but it is a survey tool: you build the rater groups, combine the answers and write up the results yourself. AI360Feedback is made for 360s, so the self-assessment, anonymity rules and AI report are built in.
