We can think about how previous week went , what are the challenges faced, about Achievements (may be small or big). These thinks really makes us relax. We can get good advises from the team, manager or VP, which really makes us motivated. Its really very easy to communicate with our team members, managers, or VP. The favorite part is High Five, I just loved it!..It really encourages to achieve more, as well it will recognizes our efforts. The main advantage of High Five is we can stay connected with whole organization:-) Pros There are so many new things I learnt being at 15 Five. Very good platform to think what happened whole week, which really makes me relax and motivates to do better for coming weeks. Will get advise/solutions if I am facing any challenges. When we mention problems and get solution for it, we can also help others when they faces same challenges. By High Five, Learnt how to appreciate efforts as well as Achievements (may be small or big). Thank you 15 Five. Cons To be honest, I didn't find any cons. Keep up the good work! Review Source JD Julia D. Content Marketing Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Really Intuitive Recognition Tool - Fun And Easy To Use!" January 15, 2019 5.0 We love 15Five! We use our 15Five metrics to support many discussions around the org., good or bad. It's a practical way for us to see a glance of our culture, recognize our employees and also keep our projects moving. Pros "How are you feeling?" feature does a great job keeping track of the pulse on our culture and overall employee satisfaction as a company. High Fives are a brilliant way to keep our team motivated! In fact, we use this feature to fuel who chooses lunch for us on Fridays! Really love that I get to keep track of my objectives in the tool as well. Good way to keep me honest about my progress. The weekly reminders and reports that are emailed are super helpful! Cons None at this moment. Keep doing what you're doing! Review Source BM Bryan M. CSM Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Manager (CS) Riskalyze" May 17, 2019 4.0 As a manager, I love the weekly 15:Fives I get from my employees, and the company cohesion that comes from controlled questions and talking points. My direct reports and I love feeling like our struggles, victories, thoughts, and ideas are all communicated, heard, and documented. Pros Weekly 15:Five guided communication 1-on-1 guidance Multi-level team/company cohesion Cons Some menus seem to be too many clicks... structuring the "anatomy" of the UI into dropdowns like an "outline" might make the organization of the program's features easier to understand. Review Source DS Damian S. Business Development Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Connection Wizard" February 26, 2021 5.0 For the average manager, this is an irreplaceable tool to streamline your 1:1's. Pros 15Five affords the average manager the ability to clearly convey and collect information about daily progress from her reports. Especially as more teams are more remote than ever, clearly communicating during 1 on 1's is incredibly important. This is the tool to do so with ease. Cons There was a bit of a learning curve and adoption effort needed to train new reps in the methodology and use. Review Source RD Regina D. Project Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My Review" February 3, 2020 5.0 My overall opinion of 15Five is that it makes companies and upper management consider the mental health and well-being of their employees. It also makes me stop and think about how I am feeling and gives me a tool to be able to articulate and communicate my own thoughts and feelings. My experience with 15Five has been positive and resulted in improving my workplace relationships. Pros It's simple and easy to use. It only takes a few minuets to complete the survey. It prompts me to consider any concerns or challenges I find in the workplace and offers me the opportunity to share that with my manager. It also gives me to ability to thank the people who have had a positive impact on my week. Cons I'm not sure if I like the questions about my life outside of work. Sometimes it's difficult to share personal challenges with your manager. Review Source Response from 15Five February 4, 2020 Hi Regina, Thanks for taking the time to share this great feedback. Regarding the questions about your personal life, have you spoken with your manager about possibly making these kinds of questions optional to answer? Let me know if you need some additional guidance or help here. Best, Mike Siemasz Sr. Customer Marketing Manager SJ Sreekumar J. Business Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helps to cultivate a habit of sharing and receiving feedback" October 11, 2016 5.0 Most of the prevailing performance appraisal methods are designed for the earlier way of working, non existing jobs, and most importantly not for the Millennials. So what else we can do? This is a question many forward looking companies must be asking and the answer is 15 Five. When somebody is not performing, we need not wait for a quarter or a half year or a year to find that the employee is not performing and to arrive at a conclusion that he/she require improvement. Real time feedback is what we require to improve the performance of any employee. 15 Five is really helpful to solve this problem and recommend for any organisation with a will to keep their people happy, productive, stay relevant in their business. Pros Easy to use No training is required to begin using Simple on-boarding Effective reminders Once again overall UX is great Cons Nothing much, May be pricing would be a concern for some emerging economies like India Other language support also can be a concern Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Relationship Manager - Financial Institutions Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "15Five has been a great addition to our organization!" January 12, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to use. Takes little time. It is a great way to collaborate with you team and with you manager. Cons Sometimes it feels like there are too many reminders, but that is probably configurable. It hasn't been enough of an issue to look into it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager, Product Support - FCC Management Software Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I've become a super user of 15FIVE within my leadership team and love planning my 1-on-1s" January 12, 2018 5.0 simplified 1-on-1 and getting a pulse on what's going on with staff Pros 15FIVE hsa simplified my year end reviews for me. I've been using OKRs, 1-on-1 and (newly implemented) reviews became an important component of my check ins with my direct reports. Love it! Review Source HP Hans P. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "15Five is essential for our company" August 30, 2019 5.0 We are a startup with a small team working remotely from several countries. For us it's a challenge to align the team and keep everybody focused on what matters. 15Five is the solution we found! We started organizing our team around OKRs, which can be easily defined and monitored in 15Five. And we also use 15Five to submit weekly reports, which is also a great feature from 15Five! Pros What I like the most about 15Five is that it makes it easy to put into practice important managerial concepts and methods that have robust scientific foundations. I decided to use 15Five after reading John Doerr's book "Measure what matters", about OKRs and Continuous Performance Management, which are corroborated by organizational/system theories and behavioral economics. And 15Five is a tool to put all that into practice in an easy way. Cons I think that an important improvement could be to add "initiatives" as part of the Key Results. This way it could get easier to organize the effort to achieve the Key Results. Reason for choosing 15Five Better usability and design, and reasonable price. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Specialist E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very useful tool for perfomance reviews and weekly 1-on-1s" December 8, 2021 5.0 Pros I like the reminders about my 1-on-1s and the detailed performance review. The performance review really made me dig deeper into my time at the company and encompassing all of my progress in one place. It was slightly challenging to compose my progress into one place but totally worth it! Cons The "to do" reminders are a little anxiety inducing but that's just because we report this information through ClickUp and it is just another place to put this information at. Although, that is an organization based issue. Review Source Andrei M. Principal Sales Engineer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "15Five - An Excellent Performance Management Tool" January 15, 2019 5.0 Pros As an IC at my company, I love the tool for keeping my manager informed on my progress, as a guideline for 1-on-1s, and as a peer review and self review/planning tool. Easy to use, great UI, and dare I say...almost "fun"? The high five feature where you can recognize your coworkers for great work is also awesome. Cons I can't think of anything currently. It's been a joy to use and I've experienced no bugs, problems, or issues. Review Source KL Katherine L. Director of Operations Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "15Five" January 23, 2023 4.0 As said before overall the experience was good, but it was missing on the ROI we'd like. Pros Our experience with the program was positive. The team really liked the ability to recognize each other every week. Cons The questions get really repetitive and overall, we can use other free platforms to accomplish the same thing. Review Source Dave R. Customer Success Specialist Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very well streamlined" January 17, 2019 4.0 Any issues I had whether they were mine or site-related, were all taken care of quickly and well communicated. Pros It's very upfront and easy to use. There is no uncertainty about next steps when using the site. Cons I really don't have any issues or things I'd like to see improved. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer investigator Security and Investigations Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "the perfect manager" March 18, 2019 5.0 so far so good,getting this app was the best relieve as it has enabled me and the company to kmonitor and mantain our teamwork. teamwork in investigations is the most crucial element of success. Pros 15 five is the best manager for any organization that wants to progress. the main reason being that it is very easy to use since it is not complicated hence anyone can use it. 15 five is majorly focused on promoting teamwork,accountability,efficiency and effectiveness of every member hence promoting team work Cons 15 five is the best software even though there are a few challenges i have faced when using iy. these are:lack of flexibility ,i just wish there was a way you could automatically upload data to avoid the many human errors associated with manual input,maybe due to forgetting and mixing of information which are common human errors. the other problem is inflexible approvals which i tend to understand is for security purposes ass they must be careful with who they partner with. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Financial Analyst Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Interesting way to improve feedback" January 12, 2018 4.0 Pros I like the ability to add questions with different answer requirements. Sometimes they are yes/no questions, some are rating scale questions, some are numerical questions, in addition to the classic words-only questions. Cons The tool isn't as useful as I was hoping in regards to keeping documentation on what your superior feels about your responses. For example, when I was trying to complete my annual self-assessment, I was hoping to be able to use some of my 15Five responses as guidance but I soon realized that all of the commentary was from me to him. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Staff Accountant Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software to give and receive feedback on your work" September 6, 2018 5.0 Pros Helps employees and managers convey what they need from each other on a weekly basis. Great platform to communicate your issues. Helps track progress in your career. Option to shoutout fellow team members creates a great sense of accomplishment. Cons User interface is not laid out to access all the necessary features in an easy way. Review Source PA Patrick A. Snr. Finance Manager, Grants Acquisition, Managment and New Initiatives Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "15FIVE & work efficiency" February 3, 2020 5.0 I have enumerated the benefits I have derived in the "Pros" box. Pros 1\. Helps me to organize my work better 2. Setting priorities every week means prevent the possibility of missing important stuff undone 3. Helps me to stay on-course and get things done 4. Records are kept for my review and reflection 5. Easy to communicate ideas to my director or my team members instantly without waiting for formal meetings or doing big emails. Cons 1\. The week comes too quickly and if I was not able to finish what I set for previous week (s), it becomes repetitive 2. It takes time to review and comment on staff submission, and I envisage that to be demanding when a manager has more direct reports Review Source Response from 15Five February 4, 2020 Hi Patrick, Thanks for sharing this great feedback with us. I understand your point about the week coming to quickly and creating repetition. One thing you can consider doing is leaving comments with your priorities to indicate to your manager that you're making progress on tasks, but still have work to do. Additionally, teams can consider moving weekly check-in's to bi-weekly or even monthly, depending on what works best for them. Feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss any of this in more depth. Best, Mike Siemasz Sr. Customer Marketing Manager VR Verified Reviewer Python Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool, but not a silver bullet" January 21, 2019 5.0 Pros It's really easy to use and the app takes care of itself. We only set it up once and the data starts coming in. Employees really seem to share more of their personal thoughts via an app than they do face to face. We got more sincere opinions this way and we got them earlier. Cons 15five will not change much in your company, if you do not have a plan on how you are going to use it. It's like buying a weight loss book, just buying and reading won't do the trick. You have to have an idea of which information you are looking for and why it will be useful to you. One problematic aspect is that the 15five answers are never deleted, which is not good for company-employee trust. And when selecting 15five questions, it is better to choose concrete, specific questions and to abstain from wide, philosophical questions like "what is your greatest/biggest this or that / what always makes your day". Review Source PO Paulo O. Logistics Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fabulous OKR & Business Management Framework!" October 12, 2023 5.0 Very well-made software framework for business strategy! Pros The integration 15Five has to enhance work performance and coaching is great. It's also very easy to use Cons I don't currently dislike anything at 15Five (that's a good thing!) Review Source SH Spencer H. Elementary Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "increases moral, rapport and communication in our teams" January 12, 2018 5.0 this benefits our team dynamics and communication. Pros I like how simple and easy it is to use and how great it has been for our team dynamics. It has greatly improved our one on one meetings. We can articulate our thoughts with our supervisors and subordinates without the pressure of them being in the room. Then because we already about the issues, we can talk about them without the awkwardness. 15five allows for honest and clear communication which is crucial for a successful organization. Cons I like the ability to change up questions and interact with scales, numbering questions and such. there are no cons that I can think of. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Human Resources Business Partner Financial Services Used the software for: ### "Forward looking but not flexible" May 20, 2018 4.0 Pros The idea behind this software is great. Continual feedback is the new big thing and this software does a great job of delivering a method to encourage ongoing feedback. Cons The software is not very flexible. They have their idea of the way things should be done and the questions to be asked and there isn't much wiggle room to deviate from that. Review Source Corbin C. Team Lead Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product" January 22, 2019 5.0 Pros When I am telling friends and family and Uber drivers about where I work one of the first things I mention is that we have an application in place that allows for amazing communication on a weekly basis to upper management. The fact that we use 15Five is one of the most valuable things that our company does in my opinion. Cons I would have to say the color. I just dont like orange. Review Source RD Robert D. Executive Pastor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Personnel that look forward to their 15Five..." January 16, 2019 5.0 Pros I love that my staff ask about scheduling these opportunities to discuss what is going on within their areas of responsibility and follow through and track their own progress and development. Cons Sometimes it is very difficult to recover previous 15 Five meeting notes. Review Source RF Robert F. Accounting and Finance Manager Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "15Five Review" December 1, 2022 5.0 Pros The software is very easy to use and is an effective performance management system. Feedback is easily tracked and allows for interactivity between employees and managers. The goal setting and tracking feature is great and allows users to update goals with progress markers over time. Cons I have no complaints about the software as a user. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of People and Talent Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome for status and OKRs" January 15, 2019 4.0 Our bussiness problems were that we weren't measuring our goals, not even documenting them, but 15Five got hat for us, I really liked the fact of having the reports and the OKRs at hand, but never really used the recognition part of the app. Pros What I loved the most were the status reports, aka 15Fives. Even though I started using de platform only for their OKR options, I turned my attention to the reports. Cons I don't know why, but my coworkers didn't got the ability to use the platform. They always forgot where the options where, and they were pretty confused about how to use it. Review Source Similar Products Featured
