EvaSys vs LimeSurvey for course evaluation
How a dedicated evaluation system and an open-source survey tool compare for universities
A side-by-side table of EvaSys and LimeSurvey for university course evaluation, covering licence, hosting, paper forms, evaluation workflow, LMS integration, open-comment analysis, ISO 27001 and best fit. It is for quality assurance teams and evaluation offices deciding which tool should run which survey. Facts come from vendor pages and university IT services, checked in October 2026. Koji adds AI follow-up questions where both tools stop at fixed forms.
