We have created a monthly competition where the person who receives most hi5's wins a prize.

Not a deal breaker but would nice to see some stats on the go. #### Vendor response Hi Geoff! WOW thanks for this amazing review! Although we'd like to keep the apps as simple and easy to use as possible, we are definitely looking into adding some of the reporting features!

Using Hi5 encourages healthy growth and development, and generally, our team is happier and more productive as a result. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Integrating ratings into the software enables team members to have an accurate understanding of true value. Using Hi5 has also elevated team spirit and encourages team members in areas of growth and development. #### Cons Self-ratings.

Wow, we love what we're hearing - it's great news that your team is happier and more productive since using Hi5! When it comes to self-ratings, it's a great way to reflect on your personal growth at your company. With our new Pulses feature Admins can toggle Self-ratings on/off.

We are recent using Hi5 for a short time but the acceptation of the solution by the colleagues is great. The easy to use and in special, the opportunity to publish (only for the company) the recognitions do the use of the tool a great place for all of us. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It is easy to use application really friendly. In a view, you can check the contributions and recognitions of the colleagues and, could add your comments, images or smiles. The option to filter the messages that you would like to see in the feed is really fantastic, having a lot of different filters to tune your search. The publication of recognition or message is really easy. #### Cons Despite the feed panel is clear, in my opinion, the recognitions boxes are too big and are necessary to do a lot of scrolling. #### Vendor response Hi Daniel!
