### "The easiest way to stay on top of your entire company."

January 12, 2018

5.0

Total awareness of what my entire team is up to.

Pros

Excellent user experience. Employees are reluctant to fill in "performance reviews" or "TPS reports", but 15Five is designed to be quick and easy. It was not hard to get my staff to use this tool reliably every week.

Cons

Although I don't know how they would improve it, the mobile experience might be the area where 15Five needs the most work.

### "15Five user review"

February 3, 2020

5.0

I like getting feedback from management and co-workers. Keeping this going throughout the year, I think is great because it not only keeps you on track for goals, but also helps with keeping the communication going between management and other co-workers.

Pros

Software is easy to use. Also love the reminders during the week on how we are doing with our goals for the week. Very helpful in keeping us in check. I also like the feedback we can give to our co-workers. The knowledge that their managers will see the feedback is great because everyone likes to give and receive positive reinforcement of a job well done and constructive criticism as well.

Cons

My experience so far has been positive. From the option of entering information via my laptop or an App, it's all great.

### "Great tool for managing teams"

January 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

Love the 1:1, 15 five, and OKR tools - very important to our business

Cons

Nothing I can think of right now - really like it. Wish you could assign 15five reporting to more than one user

### "My 15Five Review"

January 15, 2019

5.0

Using this to say thanks to a teammate brought good conversations and new attitudes. We look forward to how many high fives we get now.

Pros

The replication ability so you can add items from one week to the next. It is easy to use and does not bog you down too many notifications. I like that you can give high fives to your teammates. My team loves it. I like the clean features and flexibility.

Cons

Nothing I can honestly think about. The tool works as expected. You get reminders as expected. I really have nothing negative or constructive to say.

### "My Review of 15Five for Employee Performance Management"

February 15, 2023

4.0

I would recommend 15Five to other managers looking for an effective tool for managing employee performance. While there are some limitations, the platform offers a wide range of features and has helped me improve communication and productivity at my company.

Pros

The software provides an easy-to-use interface for managers and employees to track progress, set goals, and give and receive feedback. The weekly check-in feature is particularly useful, as it encourages regular communication and helps me stay on top of employee progress. Additionally, the platform integrates with other HR software, which helps me manage all of my HR tasks in one place.

Cons

While the software is generally easy to use, there can be some confusion around the different types of feedback and goals that can be set. Additionally, the software can be slow to load at times, which can be frustrating when I am trying to quickly access information.

### "No Better Way to Manage a Remote Team!"

January 12, 2018

5.0

Although I work from home, I feel a part of our global 500+ person company.

Pros

The ability to tag and high five team members throughout the company is the Bomb! This really creates a virtual team, where we all feel a part of a team.

Cons

The lack of an Android app! Over 50% of the market is Android. Please build an Android app.

### "Remarkable Communication!"

January 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

I have been using 15 Five for several years now and my team loves it. They enjoy getting feedback and they really enjoy updating their otherwise clueless bosses on the great things they are accomplishing! : )

Cons

There is just so much power in the tool that we have not found the time to explore and implement everything yet. I would love a way to see what my employee is going to see before I finalize their report. That way I see the questions I created for them with the Suggestion Box, the company wide questions, etc. and know exactly what they will see as I am designing changes.

### "Great way to stay in touch with your team"

November 19, 2019

5.0

I love that this tool is making habits out of communication between leaders and team members.

Pros

It's so simple and yet fills a need so lacking in most businesses. It allows my team to get the right kind of communication to me in an expected, routine manner.

Cons

Some additional reporting tools could be handy and restrictions on the types of content that's available to the public.

### "Great for Keeping Teams Connected"

April 10, 2018

3.0

It definitely allows me to feel more connected to my manager and to be able to share my thoughts with him. It's convenient vs having to schedule time with him.

Pros

The UI for the entire web application is very nice. It's easy to navigate. I can access my past 15fives, high fives, all from one screen which is great. They've made it very easy to navigate on the site which is great!

Cons

There are no advanced editing options when submitting a 15five. I've wanted to include images in the past but have not been able to, so it does have it limitations.

### "Good tool for tracking OKRs"

August 6, 2020

4.0

Overall Im quite satisfied with my 15Five experience - it has helped break down siloes in our company

Pros

This tool is used throughout our organization to track our OKRs which was previously quite difficult to do across different teams.

Cons

This does a good job a centralizing all OKRs but there can be some improvements in the configuration and reporting aspect of the platform.

### "Great Idea – push it to the next level"

January 22, 2019

4.0

15five allowed our very small company to instantiate a formal HR process. It set the course for regular performance review cycles which in turn leave people feeling more motivated. In general, it's a morale booster – though it can get repetitive. I think a few tweaks to make features more robust and easy to use will go along way. I want to document my own personal growth and objectives – maybe totally privately – in an easier way.

Pros

This software is excellent for small businesses looking to streamline and professionalize their HR approach. Prior to 15five, my company basically had no formal HR system, which I think is surprisingly common amongst small and medium sized companies. I like the report structure. I like the tracking over time. I like/use nearly all of the features.

Cons

There are a lot of features that are buried. It took me several months of use to find, then understand how to use objectives. The peer review process was also a little weird as it asked me to comment on my co-workers' career goals and trajectory – not information I had access to. I would like to see more structure around professional development for individuals. It seems like there's a lot of overlap/confusion around flagging for followup, adding items to a 1:1, following up, commenting. I wish it was all even just a little bit simpler.

### "15Five helps your team communicate and operate better!"

January 19, 2019

5.0

I have a young team so 15Five helps them think through how to prioritize their weekly tasks and describe where they need help or have questions. 15Five helps me understand how they think and how they plan for the week. It provides a great way to coach and help my team grow.

Pros

I like the weekly priorities because it helps your team focus on the most important things to get done. I also like the question asking about what the biggest challenge is that each person is facing. Helps me know how to help them.

Cons

I haven't come across any yet for me and my team.

### "A Useful Development Tool"

May 18, 2019

5.0

Overall, it's a great tool to help companies assess how their employees are doing. It allows me to feel heard and it gives my supervisor the opportunity to address anything that might seem out of the ordinary, or encourage me for things done well. It's a good way to improve company morale and keep track of progress, goals, and the emotional energy of an organization.

Pros

What I appreciate about 15five, is how simple the software is to use. The User Experience is, for the most part, fairly straightforward and the platform isn't cluttered by useless tools that take away from its main purpose: which is to provide a quick, easy way to provide feedback in a safe environment. I also appreciate that it reminds you about 24 hours before your report is due, that way you don't have any reason not to share.

Cons

If you mess up on a submitted form, or fill in the form for the wrong week, it's not easy to correct it. the platform keeps track of how often you submit your reviews (called "streaks") and so if that's something your company cares about, it's not easy to fix on your own.

### "Easy communication between manager & team"

January 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

It's simple - we use same questions every week so that I always know what I should be keeping an eye out for throughout my work days. I also love that it gives way for encouragement through high fives and comments.

Cons

It's sometimes hard to find my way back to old 15Fives. Navigation within the platform could be a little more streamlined.

### "A great way to provide weekly feedback to your manager"

August 1, 2019

5.0

Pros

I really enjoyed that I had the opportunity to give some feedback to my manager every week from the privacy of my own computer. Super easy to use, truly only takes 5 minutes, and if your manager is on top of it can be really useful to inform what should be talked about in one on one meetings.

Cons

It's very simple. It serves a simple purpose, so perhaps it doesn't need to be more complicated, but it seems like something you could easily do on, say, a google doc sheet. And it is reliant on your manager being diligent about looking at the answers and responding accordingly (though, of course the software doesn't have much control over that).

Keeping me on track with weekly goals.

Pros

Ease of use. This tool works well form all devices. I like the mid-week reminder about staying on track with weekly goals.

Cons

I don't have one. There is nothing about this system that frustrates me, it serves its purpose and works well I have never had an issue. I highly recommend using this tool.

### "Easy Goal Tracking and Work Load Description "

January 15, 2019

4.0

It is a good platform to plan out me week, acknowledge my colleagues, and to keep up with what others are doing. It builds a better team environment, and for those embracing the customer success model of business it is a MUST HAVE!

Pros

I like the ease of use and the ways I am able to describe weekly goals, and struggles. I love that my team is synced with me so that they can see and understand what my team is doing (different than theirs), and I can see theirs. It gives me a simple platform to give myself weekly goals and strategies, and to acknowledge others for their work as well.

Cons

Simple also can be restrictive. As a user not a manager I do not get to much range of editing my week goals and objectives outside of the simple setup. It can get repetitive.

### "I just don't get it."

February 25, 2021

2.0

Really good software, and they are coming from a good place. But I feel like it is trying to teach leaders how to human. Which is pretty awkward as an employee.

Pros

This made it really simple to let HR know how you feel and also to have focused conversations with your superiors about your performance.

Cons

As an employee that used this, it made the Boss/Employee relationship awkward. I felt like all I was doing was helping HR create a book on me to do what they pleased. Great software, I just don't see the point.

### "Easy and Quick Way to Sync with Team or Manager"

May 17, 2019

4.0

Pros

It really stays true to the time management value prop of this product. It takes me 5 minutes to fill out, and 15 minutes ffor my manager to review and give feedback. I always dreaded writing status reports or having a long call to review my activities. 15Five made it simplier to gather my thoughts and I breeze through my weekly status. I love you can change questions every week and tag other users within feedback.

Cons

Better way to manage issue that are prevalent throughout the team from the manager perspective. If the manager could create their own tags or labels, so that they show their boss over time that this issue appears throughout multiple team members and/or throughout multiple weeks.

### "Easy to use, good way to keep everyone in the loop"

January 15, 2019

5.0

Great communication tool to help a company with many offices in different countries stay in the loop and facilitate high level coordination between our different teams.

Pros

The interface allows the user to sign in and jot down a few notes every day in just a matter of minutes. Saving is automatic, so no need to worry if your thoughts were captured. Check in, check out and the rest of the company is on top of what everyone else is working on that week.

Cons

I like it all. Wouldn't change a single thing about it.

### "Why Krystal Likes 15Five"

January 15, 2019

5.0

GREAT!

Pros

Intuitive, user friendly. The high five system is great! A wonderful way tot build morale and encourage fellow colleagues. I believe in the workplace in order to maintain productivity and a positive culture we need systems like 15Five to keep the company on track. I like the ability to choose each week whether or not I want to elaborate on my responses, some weeks I want to express it all ( positive and/or negative) others I just want to be brief because there isn't much too to tell.

Cons

Not sure if this is a software concern or a company concern, I don't think it should be a weekly frequency, bi-weekly perhaps?

### "High five for 15five! "

January 18, 2017

5.0

Our team uses 15Five to communicate ideas, wins, and identify issues. Especially as our offices expand and our team grows, it's been wonderful to have a tool that holds accountable and provides some continuity across the board. We've also been using it as reinforcement for training so that our new members can reiterate important information. Our account and sales teams are able to share big wins and improvements and our team supports have tools to gain insight they might otherwise miss. Our company participates in profit sharing and the "High 5" feature allows me to see who I've consistently been praising and for what reason--allowing me a more educated recommendation.

Pros

\- Easy interface - Great customer service - Enforces accountability - Creates a space for communication and continued company culture - It's quick

Cons

I'd like to see analytics and suggestions from it. More company surveys and numbers offered--quizzes or other interactive components that would allow our team to have deeper insight into our employees challenges, happiness or frustrations.

### "15 Five is a great tool for feedback and organization"

September 25, 2019

5.0

15 Five helps me communicate issues as well as share successes and give kudos internally. It's a great workplace tool

Pros

15 Five helps me share projects and goals with my team and my boss and let them know progress, how I feel when doing work related tasks and any other concerns or opportunities with ease

Cons

Initially I wasn't too thrilled about using it, but it really is refreshing. I can share status on multiple things, set goals and also input answers to custom tailored questions
