By Sumitra R Answered 6 years ago

According to me interview method is the most reliable data collection approach. This method lets you explore the answers of the participants. 
The only disadvantage of this approach is that it is time-consuming.

By Venu M Answered 6 years ago

A questionnaire is beneficial only if you are asking close-ended questions. While using this method you should remember the fact that your understanding 
about the participants, response will be restricted.

By Nidhi S Answered 6 years ago

Questionnaire can be used only for closed-ended questions. 
If follow-up questions are to be asked, then it is better to use interview approach.
