### "Best Feedback Tool For Collaborative Companies"

August 20, 2021

4.0

So far really great! There are a few minor issues, that would be nice to haves in the near future, like being able to change colours or sublines of the skills, once you already got feedback on them and the managerial access to all profiles in our space.

Pros

\- The Usability of the overall software - The visuals, that immerse you into the world of feedback - The possibilities to request feedback, perfectly taylored to everyone's needs - The possibility to send Kudos - The Slack integration is working really nice - The overview of the progress over time

Cons

Since I'm managing the feedbacks and a lot of people don't really move as fast as needed with managing their own feedbacks, I'm really missing a management possibility to get access to their feedback pages without them having me to send the magic sing-in link all the time

Reason for choosing Matter

Free, had everything we needed, looked and felt better!

### "Frustrating"

May 24, 2024

1.0

Pros

Am not a fan of Matter, and avoid using it.

Cons

Feedback is listed as images only. There is no text options. I have image set to not display to avoid clutter in my workspaces, so I just seem spam from matter not in my channels.

### "Does Matter matter? Yes)"

August 17, 2021

5.0

Pros

I enjoyed the ability to solicit feedback anonymously from both equal colleagues as well as my superiors. Being able to track responses from an individual quarantine over time allows me to see how I improve, or regress, in certain areas. The more people in your network that can give you feedback, the more powerful this tool will be.

Cons

It really is it’s most effective when you have a large network of people from whom to solicit feedback, or are in a position where very frequent resurveying makes sense with the overall pace of your job. For smaller groups/organizations, it doesn’t seem to provide much more than a face to face conversation can take care of for free

### "MATTER AND ORANGE"

March 11, 2024

5.0

Pros

Since the company works with everyone remote, Matter has been a really important tool for us to get everyone closer, recognize their value and their good work every day or week. It also makes us socialize more than if we didnt have it.

Cons

I think there is anything that I dont like, I even love the gifs they use to invite us to join kudos or so.

### "Enabled me to get much higher quality 360 feedback"

August 23, 2021

5.0

I have only been using Matter as an individual user for getting 360 feedback (the original functionality it had in 2020). I have used this to gather feedback in roles since 2020. I am really impressed with this software as an individual. Feedback survey software used in companies (if they use any at all) tends to be generic survey forms with freeform text boxes which are ineffective at encouraging specific feedback. The quality of feedback and how it is reported are excellent. I thoroughly recommend Matter and coworkers who have given me feedback have also adopted it.

Pros

The skill ontology seems basic at first but it is so useful. It enables you to think of skills you want to develop that you might not have thought of before until you see them as options. The ontology has made me rethink how I approach performance reviews and what skills I want to get feedback on - Matter has really enabled me to own these processes. Once feedback is in it is also clear in reporting to see which skills are highest rated and which ones are worth focusing on for improvement. The form is simple to use and lets people give focused feedback. The prompts that are offered also help to generate feedback and actions. For people who are not used to giving 360 feedback (e.g. people who have just started their careers) it is also intuitive software for them to use. Easy to keep track of responses from coworkers / peers.

Cons

Custom rating scales, or at least wider scoring than 1 to 5, would be a major improvement. People are prone to give 4 or 5 for ratings so it would be great to have a wider scale (support e.g. 1 to 10, -5 to +5) and custom descriptions of ratings. The limit of 6 personal feedback in history is low - it would be great if this were higher, or restricted to a timeframe like months, when you don't need Unlimited.

### "A one stop shop for team experience management"

August 21, 2021

5.0

Pros

There are a bunch of things but the best I guess would be the reporting and analytics. There is no manual intervention needed. Once a pulse is completed it gives a holistic view of the performance which is great

Cons

The fact that it could take some time to getting used to the product is a challenge but the dedicated team is responsive and helpful

### "Great for team feedback"

March 1, 2024

5.0

Pros

Great to manifest publicly what the team or individuals accomplished. Usually, teams are not aware of what other teams do, so this is great.

Cons

The web dashboard is not super intuitive and very few users use it.

### "Matter is a great bit of kit for team recognition"

March 1, 2024

5.0

Amazing - we love using Matter and people like receiving them

Pros

We love that we can send recognition about an individual or group of people that everyone can see. Receiving a matter is always a lifting moment of the day.

Cons

The weekly MVP always feels broken - we can't work it out!

### "Great way to ask for feedback if you're shy"

August 10, 2021

5.0

Pros

Matter.app makes it easy to ask others for feedback and then see their result with clear action points (though these are selected from a list of suggestions). It's a nice way to create the habit of giving and receiving feedback. Not all feedback you get will be useful, but the ones that are really help.

Cons

Giving feedback is still hard - especially if you don't know what to talk about. It's common for someone to request you feedback regarding one of their skills... and nothing comes to mind. The problem is that feedback should occur in the moment the be timely - and between the event that could originate a good feedback and the feedback request, that timing is gone. The result is that some of the feedback you'll get will be confusing, contradictory, and not helpful at all

Knowing how your team prefers to receive feedback is important. That's why we built Matter so that all learners can gather and process feedback. We're continuing to make feedback even more relevant through various integration like Slack to make feedback more conversational and real-time.

August 12, 2021

5.0

Pros

Love the thoughtful prompts and focus areas on a vast yet really detailed list of skills. Having these at the finger tips of our team members makes it very easy for anyone and everyone to give and seek feedback.

Cons

Nothing in particular, they are just getting started and would love to see them keep up the pace they are on.

Matter bot is fun to use and very engaging. You gt notified when someone posts in the channel and I always find myself reading all of the feedback.

Pros

I really enjoy the ability to give back to my colleagues even when it's something small. helps bring all of the hard work to light and everyone can get their recognition.

Cons

some of the themes can be repetitive but its not a big issue.

### "Matter Review"

August 12, 2021

5.0

It's a nicely intuitive tool but just isn't game changing enough yet to be worked into our OKRs in the company. If you could set it to trigger celebrations when an individual or a department hit an objective that would be amazing.

Pros

Easy to use and clearly displays the feedback. The designs of the templates are nice and it's quick and relatively hassle free to get setup.

Cons

There's only two options to provide feedback, so it only makes it possible to use in some scenarios. The feedback isn't customisable so it ends up being fatiguing seeing the same feedback templates over and over. It's also not customisable with brand. You can't screenshot what a specific person has done, if it's a development task you're praising, for example.

August 12, 2021

Pros

\- Feedback outside of traditional performance reviews is important

Cons

\- Matter's features do not entice me to return back to the product after feedback is given. It's easy to forget about it - Difficult to get my colleagues onboarded in mass

A lot of companies don't do a good job of highlighting the accomplishments and hard work of its individuals. Matter makes doing so easy. The weekly recognition between peers and higher-ups is fast and fun, while giving people the validation they deserve.

Cons

Nope, I truly have nothing negative to say about my experience.
