NextGen Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product for List-Making and Written Feedback" January 25, 2019 5.0 In our office, 15Five has been a great tool for communication and accountability for both weekly and ongoing projects. It has helped me and my supervisor keep track of my progress, it has helped me re-prioritize my daily goals as needed, and it has helped us as a community encourage one another in the little "wins" we have each week. I love how much positivity it generates in our office community. Pros I love that you can create goals for the next week AND add to your list of accomplishments other tasks that you got done during the week... and that there's room for comments to give updates on longer projects. I also like the high fives -- it's a great way to keep the office positive and affirm people for the little things they do each week to make things go well. Cons I don't know if I need to know that I'm on time 57% of the weeks that I submit. I think it's good to hold users accountable for submitting and keeping track of streaks is nice for those who like "perfect attendance" type awards, but for those weeks when you're already underwater and barely getting your 15Five in by Monday... two days late, it doesn't feel good to have the software tell you afterwards, "Oh, and by the way, you're late a lot..." Review Source LM Lisbeth M. Director of People & Culture Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love 15Five" April 21, 2023 5.0 Our team uses 1:1s, weekly check-ins, high fives, and OKRs to engage one another, discuss important topics with one another during meetings, provide weekly updates, and develop and achieve business results Pros Ease of use, great for employee engagement, fantastic customer service, provides training and development webinars Cons There is nothing that I don't like about 15Five. Everything is great! Review Source Ashlee B. Special Project Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easily track the pulse of your team each week" February 3, 2018 5.0 Pros The ability to alternate the questions from week to week, or create a rotating bank of questions, means you can not only touch base with your team weekly, but you can also measure progress on a monthly basis. This means you can see the day to day, as well as the big picture trends. I also like the "High Five" and tagging integrations which make 15Five feel less like reporting to a boss, and more like a social sharing experience. Cons Each submission can only have one reviewer. So if multiple managers need to access and comment on a 15Five, one has to be ranked above the other- it's hierarchal. Review Source Mike B. Director, Business Growth Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Engagement Tool!" February 6, 2020 5.0 15Five is a great tool to keep the flow of communication between team members and managers. Since it takes little time to update, we don't have to chase people to use it. Pros Very easy to use. The fact that it takes so little time to update ensures a high level of compliance. It is most helpful with 1:1 meetings. Cons Sometimes the reminders can be intrusive, but that is probably more configurable in my settings that I think. Review Source Response from 15Five February 7, 2020 Hi Mike, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. You can definitely configure your notifications under My Account > Notifications, so have at it if you're getting pinged to much! Best, Mike Siemasz Sr. Customer Marketing Manager Everianny B. Senior Tax Specialist Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The interaction between bosses and staff is more direct and close thanks to this software" July 19, 2018 5.0 15FIVE, is an excellent solution for any company that wants better levels of feedback with its employees. A good manager is one who cares about the welfare of their workers, the challenges, the projected goals and the performance and productivity, and this software is a very efficient alternative for these purposes Pros This software was introduced by the human resources department of my company, demonstrating excellent benefits that I will mention below: - A more direct relationship between the workers and the heads of the company where I work. -A permanent feedback system where different characteristics such as the morale of the work team are evaluated, expectations, successes and failures, making direct reports to the bosses in order to attack problems and strengthen solutions that strengthen the spirit and productivity of the employee. -Information in real time of the different problems that are generated in my workplace. This ensures that supervisors and managers have a clearer job and managerial outlook. Cons This software came to strengthen the feedback between various levels of command of the company, has sensitized and brought to reality the problems of the company, creating an excellent working environment, therefore I have no claim whatsoever about this software Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Helped Us Get Reviews Done" June 15, 2023 4.0 Pros 15Five allows our employees to centrally check-in each week and provide feedback on themselves, plus feedback on everything around them. Cons The onboarding could have gone a bit better.

" November 8, 2017 4.0 Pros Ease of use for the person filling out the report- it's simple and helpful for them, as well as the manager. That makes it quality content, and not just white noise or another thing to check off the list. Cons Sometimes challenging to rearrange questions for different groups/individuals. They have a system in place, but I don't personally believe it's the most user-friendly. It can be confusing and unintuitive at times. Review Source Response from 15Five November 10, 2017 Hi reviewer, Thanks so much for the review. It's great to hear you find 15Five simple to use (one of our values!) and that it's helpful for managers and employees. I'm sorry you are having issues with questions. Questions are a bit tricky and I admit it's not the most user friendly part of our app. We always strive to improve. If you have suggestions or get stuck on anything please email our support team support@15five.com. We love customer feedback - good and bad. Thanks again and have a great day! Priscilla Zorrilla 15Five Customer Success Manager Christie W. Business Development Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keeps me in the loop..." January 15, 2019 5.0 My experience has been nothing but positive, as a small company we've used many softwares to manage our staff, projects, etc. and 15Five is one of the few that has stuck over time. We love that we can High Five people for big and small things. Our team is made up of many "word" loving members, and it's great to put that praise in writing each week in addition to the face to face "thank you's". Their team is also made up of some really incredible and professional people, there to help you along the way if you encounter any issues! I recommend 15Five to other companies several times a month. Pros The thing I love the most about 15Five is that I feel in the loop without micromanaging my staff. I can easily pull up their account and see what tasks they're working to accomplish that week, hold them accountable without being in their face, and praise their efforts, all in one place! Cons I do wish there were more automated question selections that populated. Review Source Eric P. IT Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great communication and feedback tool" January 15, 2019 4.0 Pros I really like the High Fives feature than can be use to appreciate the work done by an employee. This is an incredibly useful feature that surely increases morale and boost productivity. Another great feature i love and enjoy using is the 1-on-1 feature. It's also very nice that the software is beautifully built and very easy for just about anyone to use. Cons I can't think of anything negative about this software. It has always worked well for me ever since I started using it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Video production specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easiest solution for employee feedback" June 3, 2022 5.0 Pros The system of 15Five encourages users to give high fives to colleagues, which allows a positive atmosphere around employees & managers. Cons It's somewhat irritating to me the way that we needed to define up our objectives in the event that the objectives were connected to a bigger objective for my chief or my supervisor's chief. Switched from [Bonrepublic](https://www.capterra.com/p/236239/Bonrepublic/) More possibilities for challenges, reviews and feedback cycles. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer QC Verificaitons Team Lead Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use this platform at least once a week and I must say it's a great way to keep people connected." January 12, 2018 5.0 Connection with people that you would typically not be able to communicate with being that there is no department cross over or something of this nature. A simple way to stay connected to your management as well, while also helping to survey the company constantly so management can find problems in training or managers that are making employees quit. Pros The ability for management to take a temperature check of how the team is doing and or feeling is really valuable. (I do not know what the cost of this software is however) It also helps people high five each other when ever they want to give their friends/co-workers a simple & quick compliment which is really good for building comradery. Cons I think that if it is a mandatory tool to use every day it can become more of a annoying tool rather than a helpful one. Once or twice a week will suffice. Review Source CW Caitlin W. Youth Engagement Activator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "15/5 Great Management Tool" January 23, 2019 5.0 15/5 is a fantastic tool for remote teams Pros There are several things I love about this software. The ability to check my co-workers 15/5's and see what types of tasks/goals they're working on weekly is useful in our remote team because it provides me with a reference which allows me to consider where I am in comparison to the rest of the team, and how I might shift my focus if need be. The High Five tool is also fantastic because it allows us to show our appreciation for the little things we do for one another, as a remote team we aren't always sure if the things we do actually make much of a difference and this allows us to give "kudos" to things which otherwise might go unrecognized. Cons One of the little issues I've had with this software is that it is difficult (Impossible?) to delete a task. A quick example of this: If I write "Arrange a meeting with \_\_\_" and later that day I realize this is not the person I should be meeting with, it is difficult to remove the task, and though I can mark it as complete, it still makes the task list look cluttered and looking back on 15/5, may cause confusion. Review Source JL Jenny L. Director Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Unique tool for keeping a pulse on employee engagement" May 27, 2019 4.0 Good experience and am interested to see where they go from here. Pros The many different ways you can nudge employees to enjoy and benefit from working together. From giving high fives to anyone in the company, to the weekly check on how employees are feeling, to asking targeted questions, all of these help to figure out how my team is doing and feeling. To make things even easier, we wrote an integration with Slack to make it even easier to give high fives. High fives are a nice way of encouraging team members to help each other, we tabulate all the high fives collected and distribute prizes accordingly. The 1 on 1 planning feature was also useful, it helped to focus the 1 on 1 conversation into a way of measure progress against key OKRs. Cons While 15five works well for specific use cases, it would be better served as part of a total HR solution. In the end, we found that the pricing was too expensive as our organization grew and budgets got tighter. It doesn't handle any core HR functions so it was hard to justify. I would love to see it become more integrated and attached with broader HR solutions. Review Source Gustavo A. Co-Founder & VP Business & Talent Development Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "15Five has allowed our team to open a great direct comms channel with their managers. Love it!" January 15, 2018 5.0 Communications and team integration! Pros It has also opened-up a great channel for our managers to learn and get insightful information from the needs and concerns of our collaborators. We love its easiness to use and some slick features, like Hi fives, Objectives and Reviews! It has become a tool for people to recognize each other's efforts and achievements in the day-to-day life. We finish each one of our All-Hands going through every high five each member gave to their colleagues; it has made a great difference and now everyone is really looking forward to the Monday meetings, just to read and get their cheers! Cons In our specific case, we are based out of Mexico. A few of our employees don't speak English and therefore, it is more challenging for them to get the best out of the tool, especially the instructions they get from the system alerts, which are not editable. One other thing we've struggled with is that the Hi Fives feed is not showing ALL the messages, and therefore, we sometimes don't have the complete information in our All-Hands to share. Another thing that sucks is that me, as the Company Leader, cannot assign a reviewer for my reports. I'd love to get feedback from my partner, whose report's reviewer is me (I am her manager for this matter). Although counterintuitive in the theory, I'd be great that it was possible to set her as my reviewer as well. Review Source Oscar T. Engineer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I get to easily track my work." June 11, 2018 4.0 Pros Ability to list my tasks and goals for the new week ahead of time ; while also reserving the choice to add tasks as I finish them.This option is very important for effectively tracking task and completing goals . It has an intuitive user interface and I am allowed to freely customize how I receive my notifications. Cons There were weeks where I successfully completed my tasks and had no complaints , yet I was unable to submit my form until I had to report an issue or complaint ,which was non-existent ; just to enable me submit the form. Review Source Lori M. Project Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use this tool... it boosts morale and motivation!" January 15, 2019 5.0 Pros The "high five" functionality allows us to celebrate small and big wins in a timely manner. It also boosts our employees' morale and motivation. Imagine that you received weekly compliments from your coworkers and possibly even more? And those compliments went to your whole team... it's pretty fantastic. Cons I haven't found much that I don't like. Sometimes the program defaults to include my leader's full library of questions, but it's usually because she didn't pick questions that week and she just fixes it. Also, the rating of completion of reports on time is a little discouraging, but I'm a high performer and pretty much expect 100% out of myself. I don't even think others (besides my leader) can see that score. Review Source Jérôme Y.

Pros Ce que j'apprécie le plus chez 15Five est son interface intuitive, rapports de des tableaux de bord distinctifs, pris des décisions claire et au bon moment Cons C'est un logiciel que j'apprécie bien sauf que sa prise en main n'ai pas facile et nécessite une formation de base Review Source William S. Manager Service Delivery and Support Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great employee engagement tool" January 16, 2019 4.0 Since introducing this employee engagement and feedback has greatly improved. Pros We use 15Fives as part of our employee management tools as we consult on client sites away from office alot. Many times our resources are not physically with managers for updates and reviews. 15Fives provides a great way to communicate and stay of top of items and tasks. Objectives are also very useful to manage KPI and larger tasks for company and personal growth. Cons Not many options for delegating duties/access to multiple levels of admin/management. Review Source MH Mike H. Outbound Team Lead Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "15Five is a great resource to promote employee engagement" July 4, 2016 5.0 One of my first questions in my 15Five, which I still see on occasion is a three part question. What are you proud of this week? What are you stressed about? What can we do to relieve these stresses? I always have something I'm proud of. For me, the challenges come from what am I stressed about. I introduced my newest management to a typical day for me, and she felt there were many times I should be stressed. She helped me to find those portions of my day, and take on some of the extra responsibilities so I was working at the same level of efficiency throughout the whole day. To be specific, she took on some of my start of shift responsibilities, as I am limited to how long I have to prepare. Also, she took on some of my preparation for on boarding the new hires I receive. And lastly, she rescheduled some of my pickups that were always coming at the same time at my end of shift when I was trying to multi task and finish our data input. I was working through all these challenges and not even realizing that I didn't have to until I had 15Five to effectively communicate where I could use an extra hand. Pros Everything. It has improved our open door policy by giving us another outlet for effective feedback. Also, the 15Five team is always looking towards improvements; inspiring to see that. Cons It took longer for me to learn how to use it effectively. That was my own personal struggle. When presented with this service, I just wanted to hurry up, fill it out and get through it. I now know how to manage my time, fill it out a little bit here and there so I am not rushing to finish it at the end of the week. Maybe a stronger emphasis on filling it out little by little thru the week so the client isn't doing what I was doing at first and rushing to finish it with out providing efficient responses to the questions. Review Source SK Shivani K. Used the software for: ### "15Five takes more than 15five to complete!" October 6, 2016 4.0 I absoluately love the concept of 15five. In my head it sounds great - you update your manager, takes 15 minutes of your time, your manager can comment and you can always be synced! It definitely provides another channel of communication with your manager which is very useful. My manager and I would use it guide our 1:1 meetings by creating a list of topics we want to discuss which was good. I think the interface and user experience is great for the tool! The problem i found with 15five were the following: - It usually took way more than 15 minutes for me to complete my review! The questions we set up were open ended so in order to add detail and value to it I really had to take time to think about what i wanted to write and say. -the questions are repetitive. Which they do offer you to change your questions - but it seems like a lot of work to do on a weekly basis. -questions should be rotated -Questions should be more quantitative for example rate 1-10 how are you are feeling etc... - I don't know how much value our managers actually got out of 15five. It worked for some teams/groups and it didn't for others. Their customer service is excellent and we even met with their team 1-2 times a year to discuss how we can make our usage better. Overall it was a good tool that we used, but I think overtime we just grew out of it. Review Source Response from 15Five October 6, 2016 Shivani! Wow so grateful for the review. Thanks for your candid feedback. I totally hear where you are coming from on the "time suck". We've come have some new features to help address these issues: -First let's look at deactivating repetitive questions. That will cut down on the time it takes to fill out your 15Five. Click the little pencil icon next to the duplicate question and click "deactivate". A simple change that will go a long way for everyone! -We have a Question Queue that will help you save time managing questions. It's an auto rotation of questions so they are kept fresh from week to week without the manual labor. -We have metrics for quantitative questions! Results are pulled into dashboards so you can get a quick glance on any topic you want to measure. I'll reach out separately to be sure I've taken care of all your concerns. Hope this is helpful!

The high five forum allows employees to boost each other. The goals sections hold the company and its employees accountable. The questions section lets an organization hear from its employees in a way traditional open forums do not. Pros 15Five makes it easy to input and track personal, department, and company goals A great app UX makes it easy to use on the go The high five feature is great for company culture as it gives employees a forum to support each other and give public recognition The questions feature lets you easily survey your department or entire organization, which is a great way to discover new ideas that management might not have thought of. Cons I don't have a single thing about this software that would keep me from recommending. It is, in my mind, the best I have encountered when it comes to goal tracking. Review Source Ty J.

Pros I use 15five to make sure that I am completing tasks in a timely manner and am able to send a "High FIve" to recognize others for their hard work. Nothing is more satisfying than being able to check off all the boxes saying that I have successfully completed all of my tasks. I am able to let my boss know what went well and what could have gone a little better so that we are able to improve our processes to provide the best services to our customers.

They are continuing to build on the product and releasing new features regularly. I didn't find many products like 15Five. Cons There are still some bugs however their customer support team is absolutely outstanding. Some of the workflows can be a bit confusing (1:1 under 'my teams') however it sounds like these are being figured out. No Android app functionality at this time. Review Source Response from 15Five December 18, 2017 Amy, Thank you very much for writing this review! We value every single piece of feedback. I'll be sure to let our support team know about your message. They'll be delighted to hear it :) Speaking to your point about where 1:1's live I understand it's clunky to find that now. We are building a 1:1 tab completely on its own at the top. Coming soon! Hoping to release an android app in 2018. Thanks for bearing with us :) Just want to thank you for the candid review. We appreciate it! Let us know if you have any other feedback. Sincerely, Priscilla Zorrilla Customer Success Manager @ 15Five Similar Products Featured
