Very friendly user. Easy to use, to understand and the Customer support is excellent!
It really help us with the implementation of holacracy. It is necessary for us to have such a software to be able to collect and consult roles and their description. It is very friendly user, very intuitive and it was well adopted by everyone.
CONSIt needs to be more efficient with tasks and projects. But I know that the improvements are coming. So I am very eager to see the upgrade.

We've grown together
Holaspirit is intuitive once you've acquainted yourself with all the functions or rather become more experience with Holacracy. The more we use it, the more we like it.
CONSWe're still greenhorns in many aspects of Holacracy. The issues we have are probably more user issues than software ones.
Reason for choosing Holaspirit
We chose Holaspirit over Glassfrog because it is multilingual.

Excellent tool which much supports our key and high-stake migration towards a Teal organization.
Embarking on the path of distributed management and role-based organization, regardless of the methodology chosen, is a risky, complex and complicated endeavor which requires the buy-in of the whole company. Tools are essential in supporting such transition. HolaSpirit has been a significant contributor to our successful migration to Teal due to its user-friendliness, to the way information can be centrally shared about people, roles, accountabilities, quality documents, processes, etc..., to its handling of tensions, tasks/projects, or metrics, and to provide multi-user on-line tactical meeting capability. Support is also very responsive and effective.
CONSWhile simple changes in governance is easy to manage, more complex changes in roles and circles are tedious (I wish we could drag-drop roles/circles!). The lack of not being able to classify some information as restricted to just the circle or to some members is a significant limitation (e.g. meeting reports / outcome from HR or top management tactical meetings). Integration with Jira has been abandoned in our case -- some limitations as I understood. Small improvements in filtering / ordering / hiding some information could also help.

Good alternative to Glassfrog from HolacracyOne for companies using Holacracy
Without Holaspirit we could not implement holacracy, because self-organization for whole companies relies heavily on software support.
PROSSoftware helps a lot for transparency about the organization structure and makes all governance and operations accessable to everyone. The search is quite good to find information who is accountable for what, seeing the roles of all users and finding projects. Holaspirit enforces the rules of holacracy so that beginning users/circles cannot make big mistakes, like changing the governance out of an governance meeting or changing the role assignment without beeing the Lead Link.
CONSIt does not provide a holacracy habit program like Glassfrog does. I have to relolad the highly interactive UI using SHIFT+F5 quite often, when I switch between different organizations. Maybe this is not an issue just working in one organization. The learning curve for beginning users is there. They need to have a basic understanding for all the mechanics to use the software properly.

Flexible, Reliable and Feature Reach Holacratic Organization Collaborative Software
As a change consulting organization we practice both Holasprit and Galssfrog with our clients but internally we use Holaspirit to manage our own holacratic processes.
PROSHolaspirit is THE alternative to Glassfrog. Both systems have very similar features. Holaspirit is a bit more flexible and open. The support from the team is very good and the software very reliable. It has a strong community of users and new features are added continuously.
CONSWell, it you don't like the color "green", Holaspirit is not for you. :-)

How to completely change your meeting culture
We operate better using holaSpirit as a guide for our meetings. People feel listened to and engaged in the work. I would recommend it to anyone.
PROSI am most impressed with the outcomes of our meetings using holaSpirit. We immediately have a list of actions sent to us in seconds at the closing. More importantly it raises the involvement of everyone on our team. All are equals at the meeting and all can create propose and solve problems right there in the meeting. Best of all we can address up to 15 agenda items and still finish the meeting in 43 minutes. There has been no better system or process in my 39 years of running meetings.
CONSThere are really no real problems that we have experienced with holaSpirit. It does take some time to get new staff and group members up to speed but it is very intuitive.

very helpful to run a Holacracy org.
It helpes to setup and run a holacracy organisation
PROSholaSpirit has all key functionality needed to run Holacracy in an organisation. It is very easy to use, no training needed. It is continuously enhanced with new functionalities. The developers listen to the clients/users
CONSHolacracy is still a hierarchy (nested circles/roles, 1:n), and quite rigid. What we need are selforganised networks, n:n, flexible, agile. There are other frameworks like Sociocracy 3.0 which have rhis flexibility. Would be super cool to be able to map n:n networks with holaSpirit

Seamless experience, it is always clear what I need to do or what information I need
Great user interface. All the features needed to implement Holacracy are there. I can export all of my governance records in a standard format. Plenty of integrations available.
CONSIt is a pity we still not have an integrated app in order to check my governance data everywhere. I would like also to tag domains and accountabilities for further reasoning.

Great tool for visualization of structure
The knowledge base is a bit superficial, we had specific questions on certain functions - the support team is very available. It is very appreciated that feedback is so welcome and that we have a direct channel on improvement ideas. Overall great.
PROSThis platform really helped us map our work and somewhat harmonize the structure of each team. It was the first time we were able to visually translate our network (all the projects; hubs and partners it is composed of).
CONSThere is room for improvement in the integration of other platforms. For example, we use primarily slack for coordination: only receiving notifications from Holaspirit on Slack is not enough, we would benefit from synchronization of calendars, embedded links to the corresponding circle in a channel, etc. Another example is the Trello integration taking over projects and actions, and having all info in the Trello bucket description instead of using the available features.
Reason for choosing Holaspirit
Because it is more flexible and intuitive.

The better collaboration and Enterprise Operating System solution
Easy and smooth with the best customer support I have seen.
PROSOne of the things it supports is the Holacracy way of defining an organisation. For me this is the most powerful way to define, maintain and share an organisation, roles and responsibilities.
CONSThere is nothing that is really missing for me. There are always things to add that will help my organisation perform even better.
Reasons for switching to Holaspirit
Holaspirit offered more functionality

User Friendly
Been using it for 1 year plus and I am a happy user. Looking forward to getting a better improvement with the software.
PROSThe softaware is very user friendly, I didn't really need any help or support of people to teach me on how to use the software, because the features are very easy.
CONSSometimes can be a bit lag when I use it during tactical meeting, but it's not a very big deal. I also would like to suggest to find a better way to categorize and indexing all the policies in order to make it more structured.

Amazing tool to implement Holacracy in any size of organization
Many benefits !
PROSholaSpirit is easy to use. The user interface is very clear. There is a very useful online documentation.
CONSWe used to implement Holacracy in our company with an other solution. Since we swithed to holaSpirit, we haven't got anymore difficulties to make Holacracy alive in our organization... So, in fact, I haven't got any weak point to underline here.
