Amazing Insight

Emplify's customer support is top-notch. They are very responsive to any questions or requests for help. I have very much enjoyed partnering with Emplify on our company's journey to improve our employee engagement!

Pros:

Using Emplify has changed our company for the better. We are now able, thanks to Emplify, to track detailed data on how our associates are feeling about their work. We then use this data to help improve the work experience for all of our associates, particularly teams who need extra help. Emplify enables us to put data around something that leaders may feel, but can't really identify. Taking these "feelings" and putting them into actionable data, which is something Emplify helps with significantly via the engagement dashboard, has been huge for our company. The dashboard that displays data is very easy to use and understand and contains a lot of meaningful visual elements that are easy to drop into presentations for C-level and board members. Emplify's software is extremely easy to use from an admin perspective, and the survey process is very easy and painless for associates. It takes 5-6 minutes 4 times each year. The data we get from that small investment of associate time is invaluable. We have decreased regrettable turnover and have seen an increase in topline revenue since using the Emplify product.

Cons:

I struggle to come up with things that I dislike about Emplify. It is incredibly easy to use and has made a huge difference for our company.

You Don't Know You Need It. But You Do.

15Five has been a benefit to the culture of our team and leadership development. However, because of the cost, we frequently find ourselves asking if it is still worth it.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

15Five is a compelling tool that bundles individual performance measurement assessment with team-wide positive feedback. It makes it easier to build healthy rhythms and checkpoints into the culture of your team.

Cons:

15Five is on the expensive side, especially when you consider how many organizations are now repurposing free or low-cost project management software to measure employee performance.

Reasons for switching to 15Five

We used to have employees send a weekly email with a spreadsheet attached. In that spreadsheet they would answer questions about their work/performance/growth that week. (As you can tell, this process was extremely clunky. 15Five is a night-and-day difference.)

Proven to help improve team performance and growth at 3 companies!

My first experience was as a user and I remember getting the invitation to join and I was like, "Great, another HR tool." Once I got in there and learned about the 15Five mantra, I immediately loved it and started to take over ownership and expanding it throughout every organization I have worked at since. As in my Pros section, I have seen every team that adopts 15Five grow from the individual and up.

Pros:

The "annual review" and the like are very invaluable to the individual and become an exercise in repetition. 15Five takes what that same concept tries to accomplish and incorporates it into smaller, admin defined spans. With each [bi]weekly 15Five, the Team can focus on their priorities and align them with the overarching objectives/goals (individual, department, and/or company-wide). As a result, the growth path is managed at early stages and progress is recorded throughout the process to document each team member. I have used 15Five at 3 companies and have seen my teams improve within a short period each time. It does take effort but once it becomes the norm, progress just starts running!

Cons:

There are always going to be features that are wanted and/or desired in any software. 15Five has a lot right out of the gate with a lot of the features I would have liked to see now in production and currently getting worked into my setup. I honestly don't have anything negative regarding 15Five as a software nor as a company.

Reasons for choosing 15Five

BambooHR is a great tool for HR but their review tools are the same old annual review and goals that don't get to the granularity that 15Five does. This is where the magic happens.

Top-Tier Reporting, but Leaves a Lot to Be Desired Outside of That!

Overall, I think the reporting is top-tier rivaling that of Workday Peakon and other well respected performance management platforms on the marker. However, the repetitive survey questions over time, coupled with the simple nature of the reward/accolades "high five" feature caused our engagement numbers to do down drastically and what lead us to make the change to Teamflect.

Pros:

The best feature is far and away, the reporting and analytics offered by 15Five. The robust amount of date you can access and generate actionable insights from is well worth some of the pitfalls you experience.

Cons:

While you are able to choose from a library of preselected questions for your time-triggered surveys (we did 2x month,) the questions begin to become repetitive over time. This caused a sharp decrease in engagement scores after 7/8 months.

Pros:

This platform helped with our annual performance reviews. It had the capability to do 360 reviews and keep certain questions anonymous.

Cons:

The price point was very high for what we needed to use the platform for. It provided year round performance management but we only needed it for year end annual performance reviews.

Reasons for choosing 15Five

15Five was more user friendly and had more functionality.

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.
