### "15Five has become a core part of our efforts to build the best place to work"

June 9, 2020

5.0

Pros

Super easy to use. Supports best practice behaviours we believe in. Encourages positive and constructive feedback. No niggly bugs, usability issues, or disappointments.

Cons

It needs better support for integrations with workflow management tools. Effective teams work together on problems + tasks, and there are tools like Trello which do a great job of this. Integrating these tools with the processes encourages by 15Five would be fantastic.

### "Been using 15Five for a year, it has proven to be effective in managing a distributed work team"

January 15, 2018

5.0

Helps me keep in touch with remote team members. Provides a snapshot of the various activities that the team is participating. Provides a direct feedback loop between leaders and their team members.

Pros

The structure of 15Five allows the leader flexibility in how they would like their team to utilize the app. The leader can be very deliberate and direct the participants or can establish a framework and allow the team members to participate at their own level. The weekly questions are a great tool for getting a pulse on what is happening in a local team or with an individual, but it takes some coaching for some people to get comfortable with the questioning approach. My team has been challenged to embrace the tool as a social platform as this was not a natural behavior in our organization. It has taken some time, but many members of the team now provide High5's and other acknowledgement to team members that in the past would have gone unnoticed.

Cons

I am not a big fan of the "out of the box" dashboards and flash reports. They provide usage data versus business impacting data. It requires a commitment from the leader or administrator to get the information that they need to run their business from the standard reporting. More templates would be helpful especially after your team has been using the product so there is worthwhile information that can be mined from the application.

### "We love 15five!"

January 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's really just so intuitive and easy to use. I really love being able to look back in history to check out particular 1:1 topics and look at my own trends and consider feedback. Plus, who doesn't love high fives?! I am CONSTANTLY recommending 15five to friends and family. I really can't speak highly enough about the product or the people behind it.

Cons

I've really enjoyed it overall. Most of my observations have been more feature-requests than cons. Perhaps the biggest con is that (at least with the configuration my company has), employees that aren't managers don't have a lot of visibility into metrics. Having a way to see, for example, what some common themes are for a given week in response to a particular question would be really nifty. Being able to take that information and convert it into a goal/challenge/accomplishment etc. would be even niftier. But I have no doubt that features along those lines will happen :)

### "Great tool for supporting and motivating employees"

August 22, 2019

5.0

Great for supporting and encouraging employees.

Pros

My company uses this weekly. We answer questions that range from being reflective about ourselves, our growth, or the organization. Sometimes there are "just for fun" questions as well. But my favorite part is the shout outs. There is space to call out specific people who did a great job or helped with something, that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. These questions/responses/shout outs are stored, and have been useful for me in reviews to help track my contributions.

Cons

I didn't love answering all of the questions each week, but I believe that feature is probably customizable.

### "Super simple and user friendly! "

March 22, 2022

5.0

We've been using this program about a year and a half and I love it. I use it with my manager, and my employees. It's simplified the annual review process, been a great way to give kudos (high fives!) to teammates, and create a list of tasks/talking points for weekly check-ins. I leave mine open daily and continue to add thoughts/questions so that I'm prepared when I meet with my manager.

Pros

Straight to the point, user friendly, lots of options and ways to use it.

Cons

The Objectives section is a little difficult to figure out, and if it was a little more user friendly I would utilize it more.

### "We're a completely remote company, and this is a keystone of our communication"

December 13, 2017

5.0

Pros

Incredibly easy to set up and jump in, while also having a lot of flexibility to add a lot of features/functions.

Cons

Can get expensive with a huge staff. Requires a bit of self-learning to know how to properly use Slack, and not make it do too many things.

### "Variety of Features"

January 26, 2019

4.0

Manage our OKRs and not look at them just once a quarter but actively engage with them between our meetings so that we could track against our progress and collaborate as a team to celebrate success as well as get projects the extra support that they need to get them back on track.

Pros

Out of all the OKR tools that I have used, 15five has the most features in theory. 15five has some really cool extra features that not all OKR tools have, like the 1-on1 meetings. The difficulty level for entering comments on your OKRs is "middle ground" when it comes to comparing to other OKR tools. What differentialtes this OKR tool from the rest and makes them stand out in a crowd is their 1-on1 meeting adgendas and chats. Weekly meetings and agendas can really get lost but with 15 five you'll never lose your notes and always have a constant flow of positive feedback by sending each other "high fives" for work well done.

Cons

Has the a lot of great features in THEORY, but they are not as easy to use as they could be. It is somewhat difficult to make and update comments to the OKRs themselves. It requires extra steps. These extra steps reduce the likelyhood of actualy going in and making comments and updating the OKRs regularly. It's also not quite as easy to enter objectives as other tools that I have used and reviewed.

### "A very good performance management tool"

April 1, 2022

5.0

We are tracking performance (tasks, results, OKRs), employee pulse, priorityze. We massively use it for peer appraisal as well, by sending high fives.

Pros

You can record and track objectives and key results, you can schedule 1:1 and set up talking points, you can take employees pulse, which is extremely useful.

Cons

Sometimes you can get lost in all the things this tool and do.

### "15Five Review"

January 6, 2020

4.0

15Five is a great way for me to quickly recap how my week went and what I'm looking to tackle in the following week. It make it easy for me to connect with my manager and lets me recognize coworkers who have helped me during the week. This is a tool I like using!

Pros

It's super easy to use and reminds me that I have an upcoming review to fill out. It holds me accountable for my weekly progress and makes it easy for me to outline topics to connect with my manager. I also really like the shout outs feature to give my team credit where credit is due!

Cons

I don't really have any complaints. The only thing for the "streaks" aka how many I've filled out in a row will start over if I'm OOO which is annoying because I would have filled it out if I was there. There might be a way to wave it for a week but I haven't looked.

Hi, Erica, Thanks for sharing how valuable you find 15Five to be! Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the streaks. You should be able to indicate within 15Five that you will be on vacation so that the software knows not to mark your 15Five for that week as incomplete. I would reach out to your Customer Success Manager for help with this. If you're unsure who to contact, I'm happy to connect you with the right person!

### "Easy to manage projects using this software"

February 7, 2020

4.0

Overall, it has been a good experience. Its easy to use and requires little onboarding.

Pros

Really easy to use and keeps everyone on track. Helps with time management and managing people. Great tools within the system to recognize people. Doesn't require a whole lot of training.

Cons

This software doesn't have many recognition features. There are few tools for employee recognition but not many. Also the price is a bit high for a system. I wouldn't recommend for smaller businesses.

Hi Arwa, Thanks for sharing your feedback. I'm glad you find 15Five so easy to use! Please note that we do offer High Fives in 15Five, a feature that allows you to recognize others in your organization for something awesome they've done. We find this is often one of our customers' favorite features, as it builds morale and even increases visibility into all of the positive change occurring in an organization! Happy to chat more about this with you if you'd like to learn more. Best, Mike Siemasz Sr. Customer Marketing Manager

### "Great tool for Gut Checks on your employees"

December 6, 2019

5.0

Fantastic experience and an invaluable tool. I believe every organization should employee this technology.

Pros

I used this tool as a method to report to my manager on a weekly basis so they knew how I was feeling and what I was proud of or struggling with. It allowed me to properly set up and prepare my manager for what we should discuss on our weekly 1 on 1's as well as set up long term personal and professional goals.

Cons

There are not many cons with this software in all honesty. It works ver well and integrates seamlessly with Slack so you can congratulate others on a job well done

### "Excellent tool for recurring employee contact & engagement! We're using it with our employees weekly"

January 15, 2018

5.0

Great tool for weekly contact points with my team, share appreciation & feedback, and take a moment out of each week to think about progress and goals.

Pros

Easy to use tool, live the clean and simple interface, appreciate that it looks rather lightweight and not overly complicated while still allowing customizable questions and having all neccessary functions. .

Cons

Really would appreciate having an Android App for faster and easier entries. It would also be ncie to have a Dashboard that allows to track specific recurring Metrics like for example Net Promoter Scores, 1-5 statements or similar.

### "15Five is a great way to keep a pulse of our team"

January 18, 2019

5.0

We are a completely remote organization and so we do not have the regular stop and chat with team members in the way that organizations who are not remote. 15Five has been a good way for us to "smoke out" issues with the team and be able to nip them in the bud.

Pros

It is easy to use, sends reminders and allows me to quickly and easily get an idea of how our team is feeling and doing overall. I love the 1:1 feature and use that regularly for my 1:1s with my team members.

Cons

I feel like the questions do become redundant at times. Some of the questions do not prompt as much feedback from team members than others (sometimes they only give a simple yes/no). Could be a user issue with how we have it set up, but having some more recommendations on good questions would be good.

### "Great Platform for 1:1s, Feedback and Goal Tracking"

February 11, 2020

5.0

Pros

I love that it's a one-stop-shop for manager-report 1:1s, feedback sessions and weekly status updates, as well as a platform for tracking individual, team and company-wide goals and OKRs. It's user-friendly and makes it easy to onboard quickly.

Cons

I have few problems with this platform! I wish it was easier to embed links to documents and websites from the 1:1 and 15five side - I often find myself wanting to link a document or presentation but am unable to do so.

Pros

It is the best tool to track my work and allows my managers to see the work I am doing. This is great! No work gets unnoticed if we track it here.

Cons

I don't understand why we have the following two sections. They mean the same to me. 1) Anything else you accomplished or are proud of? 2) What accomplishments (big or little) would you like to highlight this week?

### "Keeping up with goals"

December 11, 2019

4.0

I had never used a software like this in the past until now and I really wish I had. I love how well it allows me to keep up with my weekly goals while also keeping me focused on myself as well.

Pros

I like how it helps me keep up with my goals each week and allows me to have a wide variety of question and concerns I can fill out for my manager.

Cons

There have not been a lot of cons with this product. It is very well laid out and the level of ease to use it is great.

### "Best of the rest in people engagement"

January 15, 2019

5.0

15Five solves bad people engagement practices by instituting a cadence of pulse, checkins, priorities, goal setting, and recognitions.

Pros

The absolute best at understanding people engagement. I regularly use the pulse checks, weekly priorities, OKRs, and high fives for my team. We have less surprises and we understand our people better than we ever have.

Cons

The software does not have any focus on other HR requirements like Workday does. I feel that eventually companies like Workday are going to outright buy 15five or OC Tanner to add people engagement to their suite of tools

### "Great Tool For Goal Setting and Follow Up"

February 10, 2020

5.0

The High-5's on 15Five are something that folks in our organization really like. I also like the weekly process of setting goals for the following week and accounting for the goals of the prior week. I think this is natural process for highly successful people and so 15Five helps people for whom this is not a natural habit.

Pros

The ease of use of this software is great and it works flawlessly and it really makes it easy for managers and subordinates to communicate weekly goals and progress. It also makes it easy to add survey questions to gather specific feedback on topics.

Cons

I don't think the software originally allowed you to suspend the surveys over holidays but that appears to have been fixed now. This caused the consecutive weeks streak is maintained even when reports are not submitted over Christmas break.

July 23, 2023

5.0

I feel that using 15Five my voice is better heard with my employer.

Pros

I like 15Five because it allows the opportunity for me to voice my wins or my losses for the week. Rather than allowing for issues to pile up and create a larger problem, we can address our concerns without confrontation and with mediation.

Cons

Do I have to have a con? I like that my workplace offers this platform of communication. I can’t think of a situation when proper and efficient communication could be seen as bad?

### "Exactly what our remote team needed"

March 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

I am in love with this software. As a remote team, our weekly check-ins need to be as efficient as possible We've had a hard time covering everything we want to discuss. We've also hit the point where we need to have deeper conversations but we just don't have the ability to ask the hard questions and dig deep enough to get the answers we need. This software is allowing us to communicate constantly outside of our check-ins, start meaningful conversations, and get feedback we likely never would have received in our face-to-face meetings. We've only been using it for 3 weeks and it's already triggered major change in our organization.

Cons

I wish the interface was just a little more intuitive. I had a hard time in the beginning remembering where to go to make changes to people, questions, and other features.

### "Great for team communication!"

January 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

This really helps great a platform where staff can feel heard and valued by management, and best of all, it's delivered in a way that is easy to use and engaging. The questions are well formulated, and often lead to deeper discussion in our 1:1's, helping to create a better team environment. It's helped our team culture, as each member feels invited and supported in speaking their truth and gets immediate feedback from their supervisor, and praise from their teammates!

Cons

For our set up as a scattered team, often based out of different locations, it can be difficult to sit down on a weekly basis to complete, but this is also exactly why it's needed.

Pros

15Five helps develop an effective feedback loop between employees and managers in order to conduct more effective 1:1s on a regular basis. It allows our managers to keep their finger on the pulse of their team and specific individuals in order to drive better performance and help our people grow personally and professionally.

Cons

I'd like to see more curated leadership content built into the software for on-going learning for leaders and aspiring leaders.

### "Great tool for connecting with your team."

March 22, 2020

5.0

Overall, for a weekly check-in tool, it is great and easy to use. I think it is very basic which makes adoption easy but I am not sure how complex it could get.

Pros

I LOVE high - fives. Our company uses them religiously and shares them with everyone each week so it is a great way to say job well done! I also like the ability to share goals and log progress with my manager and express feedback that may not have been discussed during one on ones.

Cons

The questions asked each week are sometimes really general with nothing to really add value by answering. The review process is also pretty basic, but not sure if this is just how our company uses it.

January 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

15/50 gives you centralized place for our entire department to check in and talk about what is happening within the team. What I like the most is that you can really see when others in the group are doing something well, and be able to offer to help whenever that seem to be overwhelmed.

Cons

What I like least about the software is my reminding the day before it's due. It probably how my department has it setup up but I get an email really early in the morning telling me to get it done.
