A great concept, well implemented. Iron out the non-professional questions and you have a great product! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It's a great way to get the lowdown from your staff about how they are feeling at work. The monthly question of how happy are you at work is good to get an overview. Having "Cheers for Peers" is a great way to get your staff thanking each other and improving morale. #### Cons Some of the questions are quite frankly awful: "if your company was an animal what would it be?". Really guys? I know you're trying to be lighthearted, but these sort of question add no value. Keep it useful! #### Vendor response Thanks for the review, David! We've got some new questions coming next year with our new engagement framework! In the meantime, you can always skip questions that aren't a good fit - or remove them from your queue entirely.

The tool is excellent for surveying employees. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Question variety, opportunity for free text. #### Cons It was used as a tool to bonus executives, not to improve the workplace. Writing valid questions is critical. --- ### Good Solution but Beware of the Contract - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It's a great way to garner continuous ongoing feedback from your staff and get away from an annual survey. Having "Cheers for Peers" has also been a nice way to get your staff to recognize each. I like that you an add your own customized questions. #### Cons Beware before you sign a contract! TinyPulse is completely inflexible with licensing options. They will lock you in for a year whether you are using your licenses or not. When our staff size was significantly reduced due to COVID, they held us to our original contact. We ended up paying for 6 months that we did not want or use—a hardship for a small company. --- ### A software that keeps companies engaged with employees - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sporting Goods - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Employees get more engaged and interested on proposing ideas to improve the company, we all love the opportunity to be heard. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros For the company to listen to the employees needs and acting on them is a big deal, TINYpulse was implemented to engage with everyone who formed part of it. Each week a question that was of interest to all or most employees was sent out at the same time with an email blast and we had stipulated days to answer it and even add comments. When people started noticing positive changes on processes or even some as simple as the food in the cafeteria, they all started to participate more, we encouraged each other to answer and we kept track of the answers we had completed without missing a single week, it started becoming a fun competition. #### Cons I liked it all, honestly. Quite often we noticed the software was being worked on to be improved, that’s something you appreciate. --- ### TinyPulse Allows for Quick and Constant feedback - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Clayton A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Facilities Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The Slack integration makes TinyPulse extremely useful, and simple to deploy. #### Cons Responding to TinyPulse surveys is optional, so there may be some bias in our survey responses. --- ### Great tool, but be prepared to put in what you want to get out - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros TinyPulse has been great for a number of things, but my favorite is the "cheers for peers" function. Our team has remote workers and it's been a great way to feel connected to them. TinyPulse has also been a great tool for collecting feedback beyond the basics of how staff feel about their jobs -- we've enjoyed using custom questions. The data visualization of the results are great, too, and easy to share out. #### Cons The user interface can be confusing, especially as an admin. Staff haven't always believed it's truly anonymous, too, so we've had to do some convincing. --- ### Great tool for company engagement - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Mark D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It is a great tool to encourage and foster internal engagement. I would suggest a designating a couple of power users who are responsible for generating content, fostering communications, and responding to messages. Without the constant engagement, the tool becomes stale and nobody wants to use it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Allows users to easily make suggestions, recognize co-workers for work they've done, post ideas for improvements and request feedback. When used by the entire organization, it can be a great tool for increasing company engagement and providing a forum for employees to engage with each other and the business at large. When submitting a suggestion, users can opt to share only with the site administrators so it isn't viewable by the entire organization. The "Wins" tab shows what ideas/suggestions are Under Consideration, In Progress, and done or, won. Provides a quick glimpse at how things are progessing. #### Cons Obviously only as good as your administration and roll-out of the tool. Without user engagement, the tool doesn't provide any value. I would like to see more searchable tags/topics to quickly find and vote for suggestions. --- ### Answering questions for work - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It is easy to respond to a TinyPulse questionnaire. #### Cons It doesn't really show the right responses. If you make a word cloud, sometimes the words "the" or "it" will show up in the middle rather than actual pressing words. It is important to weed out the filler words when looking at important trends in responses, which TinyPulse doesn't do. --- ### Extremely valuable to check in with how staff are doing - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Tinypulse is a powerful way to connect with staff to learn how they are doing. We use it to ask very serious questions as well as more fun questions. We share the data with staff to create transparency, which has had a huge impact on morale. It is 100% anonymous so staff are much more honest than they would typically be. #### Cons It isn't as interactive as we'd like it to be, especially with the Cheers feature - it could do more to help create community among staff. --- ### Good for Employee Engagement - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Dusti K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Broadcast Media - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love how modern this software is. My company used this to get feedback from it's employees and find out what is important to us. I also love that it has the cheers for peers option that allows you to give props and recognition to a co-worker. They layout is very clean and user friendly. #### Cons I think sending out a question each week can be too frequent. From the employee perspective, it got annoying, but it's a great idea to do monthly or quarterly. --- ### Simple Data that leads to Great Results - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Spencer E. - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We used this tool to help us get data about how our employees felt about our company and about their experience working at our company. The data we received was amazing. We could truly get a pulse for each department. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros TINYpulse is so easy for employees to use. Giving feedback can at times seem time consuming and overwhelming. TINYpulse makes sharing your opinion easy and fun. Because it's easy to give feedback management receives great insights into how employees feel about the company. TINYpulse helps not only helps management get great feedback, but also allows management to show employees how their feedback is helping to shape the company. #### Cons Customer support was often hard to reach. Some of our employees complained that they felt like their feedback wasn't always confidential. --- ### Critical Employee Feedback, Simplified - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: CJ A. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: January 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It's more important than ever to be listening to our employees and TINYpulse has made it extremely simple. The admin console aggregates statistics and feedback for quick review, allows sharing with other management teams and best of all is anonymous for the employees. We've had a fantastic team response to using TINYpulse and other departments of the company are now looking to roll it out as well. This is end-to-end simplicity. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### Super great - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael V. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: January 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

The service is easy to use, simple and beneficial as we grow our company. I love this product and highly recommend it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### Overall product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Christi M. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: January 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I think this is a great product, however, I think it would work better in a larger company than ours. It is a good resource for employees to voice opinions anonymously if needed. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- ### TP has helped our organization to do a better job of being transparent in areas that mean the most - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dana C. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: January 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

TINYpulse will send out a random question to all employees each week and encourage responses. All responses and anonymous and are sent to the administrator (my boss) for review. We all like it because we can be 100% honest in our feedback and know that we are being heard. About once a month we will all gather to resolve any outstanding issues among the group. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros TINYpulse will send out a random question to all employees each week and encourage responses. All responses and anonymous and are sent to the administrator (my boss) for review. We all like it because we can be 100% honest in our feedback and know that we are being heard. About once a month we will all gather to resolve any outstanding issues among the group. #### Cons I wish there was some kind of incentive to get employees to respond more. Sometimes we can go a couple weeks with only 2-3 responses out of a 25+ group, which is somewhat disappointing. --- ### OK employee engagement software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Magda N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Happiness survey and happiness trends were quite useful to see the general morale in the organisation.We found that employees were not really using the peer-to-peer recognition tool as much as we'd hoped they would.Suggestion/feedback box was used quite frequently but watch out because with certain settings it goes to the whole company if something new is posted there. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The software was easy to use and the customer service was absolutely amazing. The questions could easily be edited. #### Cons Administration if employees changed their departments or managers was a bit difficult. There was also no visible history of which departments employees were in before the changes happened. --- ### TINYpulse gives employees a chance to share feedback - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kayla O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have had a good experience as a user of TINYpulse, and I would recommend it to organizations trying to keep tabs on how employees are doing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like how it gives me a chance to make suggestions to our human resources team and track progress on achieving solutions to those suggestions. I was able to see my HR team post that thanks in part to my suggestion, they made a recruiting process change that would increase equity and fairness in hiring. Rarely can I say software is responsible for something like that! #### Cons I dislike how I thought I clicked a response to the TINYpulse question in the automated emails, and it brings me to the website where I have to click my response again. I also wish that I could turn off the reminder emails for features my team doesn't use. --- ### TinyPulse for the Win - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Erin V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Transportation/ Trucking/ Railroad - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered This changed the culture of our business by helping our managers learn to respond to employee complaints with an open heart. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I loved how it gives an anonymity option. This makes employees comfortable when expressing displeasures with the company. I also loved that you got a "choice" when choosing a gift card. #### Cons If you lost your gift card or deleted it in an email, it was tough to retrieve it again. --- ### Fun Software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Corrine G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This software is fun and a great way to give feedback, both good and constructive. Sometimes I'm not sure if my feedback was submitted anonymously, so that makes me nervous. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that I can anonymously provide feedback to my employer, while also being able to send "Cheers for Peers!" to congratulate people who have done a good job. #### Cons Sometimes I can't find people I'm looking for to send "Cheers for Peers!" to by email address or name, so then I don't use the software as much as I'd like because I get frustrated. #### Vendor response Thanks for the review! We really appreciate the feedback. We want Cheers for Peers to be a snap to use, and we're sorry to read you're not finding the folks you want to recognize! I've sent this review to our product team - if you're available to speak to them, please get in touch (this message should include my email address). Edit: Also, all responses to survey questions are anonymous. We're completely committed to anonymity. Apologies for not including that in my first response! Tyler Adams Communications Specialist, TINYpulse Replied January 2019 --- ### A great system for coaching and feedback! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros TinyPulse makes it easy to create, monitor, and track progress on team members' individual goals. It also is a great platform for employees to share ideas, give each other feedback, or send compliments ("cheers") to anyone who really stepped up. #### Cons It used to not have customizable feedback solicitation, but does now, so you can create the questions you want and send to anyone to provide feedback, even anonymously. --- ### Great way to get honest feedback - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sarah H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I wish we still used it! I feel an open door policy is great, and this helps support that, as well as welcome honest and constructive feedback without the fear (real or imagined) of consequence. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Representatives were able to give honest feedback anonymously. It was also an amazing way for ideas to be heard. I provided several ideas on function and efficiency, and a few were actually implemented. I don't know if they would have been otherwise! #### Cons I believe the reason our organization stopped using TINYpulse was due to cost. --- ### Recognizing Employees and Receiving Feedback - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Madison N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Pharmaceuticals - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, TINYpulse does a good job of recognizing employees and collecting feedback for the organization. I hope in the future they will add more features such as integrations with other apps or a mobile platform. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the "cheers" section in TINYpulse. This allows employees to recognize one another for tasks they have accomplished and celebrate company achievements. The software also adds the ability to send out anonymous surveys to employees which is useful and lets employees know that their voice is heard. #### Cons Unfortunately TINYpulse does not allow RSS feeds or its site to be embedded within another. For this reason it can be difficult to access and hard to encourage team members to use it. --- ### Great way to voice opinion - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeff H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I really like the idea of the software. It has made the company implement some changes already based on feedback. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that it allows me to voice my feedback to the company anonymously. I also love that it reminds me to answer the question of I haven't yet done it for the week. #### Cons I don't like that sometimes it doesn't allow me to "submit" my answer. I have to then start over and answer again. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/tinypulse-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- TINYpulse Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
