If you like not being able to receive any support this is the platform for you **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2023 **What do you like best about 15Five?** Maybe the ease of doing performance reviews **What do you dislike about 15Five?** There is zero support. The implementation is a series of videos, you never actually get to speak to real person. I followed up with my "implementation" person one time and she blew me off with a link to a help article. Help support is useless. It will take two or more days to get a response. The one time I actually got to schedule a Zoom call with a support person it took almost three weeks. Then while on the call it was painfully apparent the support person couldn't answer even the base questions I had. He insisted he would get the answers for me that day and I never heard from him again. The engagement survey tool is absolute garbage. It cannot even do base survey tool things like carve out surveys for certain teams and you cannot even preview a survey before it sends out. This is not their software apparently but a third party. The user experience of the survey is so poor and the support team is so untrained that we have opted to find another tool for this piece. **What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?** We got this tool for the survey and performance management it's barely solving for the reviews ### 2. NAVIGATION NEEDS SERIOUS ATTENTION **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021 **What do you like best about 15Five?** I like the way it ties through the entire organization. **What do you dislike about 15Five?** It needs serious work on the user interface to get baseline effective navigation between sections. It is so weak in this regard I find it easier to log in from an email reminder than getting to the same place from the open app. That's not a good product. **What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are making some progress on visibility of shared goals and dependencies between departments but this falls far short of effective communications as the goals are not fully meshed horizontally. ### 3. Good intention, but eventually became formality in my company **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2020 **What do you like best about 15Five?** The best part I think 15five has is that it gives us a way to express our feeling and make comments about a certain range of things. **What do you dislike about 15Five?** There are 2 things that I don't like about 15five. 1. The reviewers are your supervisor and his boss and the boss of his boss...etc. You know they gave you salary and in reality it is not possible that you agree with them for everything. As a result, a lot of people started writing meaningless comments like 'fine, good, okay' and even '.......' for an answer. I means when you are not okay with the way how business should run or how your boss treats you, talking to a 3rd party who would tend to this issue later may help, talking to your boss about it, that just get your fired or demoted. Some ass-kissers began his way of ass-kissing on 15five. What's the point then? 2. It is about the questions that our admin set up. Question like 'How many times you had lunch or enjoyed coffee with your teammates?". Management likes to see big number, then everyone starts putting 10, 20, 30...and the ones who works really well with all teammates may say 'huh.. 3?" I mean does the answer matter? Question like "Did you feel like you had a productive week? What would you do to make next week more productive?" There is a logic trap in this. If you admit there is something that you could do next week to make it more productive, then how come you didn't apply that methodology this week? Are you trying to be lazy? If you say "I am fine this week, very productive, I couldn't think of a way to become more productive", your supervisor would just reply "You are not perfect, there is always room to be better." Life is just so hard... **Recommendations to others considering 15Five:** It would be better to train the admin on what questions to ask. Take this question for example, "How do you feel about your supervisor?" Every time we see this, I bet everyone just put "good/very good" as an answer. Remember to reviewer is your supervisor. Also, it makes more sense that a third party collects the answers, analyze them and work with the management. Not every time it is the employee's fault. Management is human too. **What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?** it doesn't solve problem... it is more like a homework you will have to finish every week just to get your KPI (Yes, my company put competing 15five a KPI). If I need to solve any problems, I would have done it fast and nicely face to face already. **Official Response from Mike Siemasz:** > Hi there, Thanks so much for taking the time to share this important feedback with us. I completely understand your frustrations. Please know that we've designed our platform to help employees be their best-selves in and out of work, not make things harder. In fact, 15Five is a great platform in which to share this feedback with your manager in a kind but also honest and transparent way. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss this further with me or someone else on our team. I'm happy to help in any way I can. Best, Mike Siemasz Sr. Customer Marketing Manager ### 4. A little bit timing consuming **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2020 **What do you like best about 15Five?** Sending Hi-5's is really good for the team members! **What do you dislike about 15Five?** Timing consuming while we are having important tasks to prioritizing **Recommendations to others considering 15Five:** No **What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?** I think it's unnecessary when we have direct communication via hangouts, slack, assembla, asana, and daily meetings with our colleagues and managers. ### 5. Maybe we just don't know how to use it **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sandra C. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2019 **What do you like best about 15Five?** We basically use this system to answer the weekly questions of general satisfactions and needs of the people in the company. So, in general it let's your boss know if you felt happy, if there is something you need, or want to know, expectations, in a week base. And also we use it to give Kudos to others, this helps people thankful and it is a nice thing to do to be grateful even for small irrelevant things. **What do you dislike about 15Five?** I guess that no one in the office has taken the time to examine, understand and configure 15five. I see that it has other options like KPI, KPO by teams, by groups, individual. Also it has like a feature for having 1-on-1s. But no one understands how to use it and of the other parts of the system. So either it is not very intuitive or someone has to take the time to explain the teams how to use all the features. Also, the questions that come in the questionnaire are somewhat generic. I don't know if it can also be tailored for our needs. **Recommendations to others considering 15Five:** I guess that someone from the company should take the time to personalize the questions and explain the system to the company, for us it has not been intuitive. **What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?** We basically use it to know how are people doing, if they are feeling nervous about something, what are their plans for next week and if they need something. This is good because in the regular calls and meetings you normally don't have time to talk about feelings and expectations and it is always important to know how are people feeling. ### 6. not the best tool **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2019 **What do you like best about 15Five?** keeps people accountable to their goals and aligns departments **What do you dislike about 15Five?** its worthless if the entire org isnt using it on a regular basis **Recommendations to others considering 15Five:** you get out of it what you put into it **What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?** keeping different departments aligned and focused on the tasks at hand - people don't keep it up to date though ### 7. Could be helpful, but not really actionable **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2019 **What do you like best about 15Five?** Helpful data logging of past experiences and shoutouts internally. - pro/cons help with org for improvements **What do you dislike about 15Five?** burdensome, didn't really achieve anything from submits **What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?** culture, team structure, general feedback - no benefits from my experience ### 8. Well designed and easy to use **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David B. | Design Manager, Financial Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2017 **What do you like best about 15Five?** Excellent intuitive UI. Best performance management app in a world full of crappy HR apps **What do you dislike about 15Five?** I would like to see this continue to refine performance management needs. **What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are trying to have a better system for weekly performance, 10-10's, and goal tracking. ## 15Five Discussions - [We haven't yet reached the eprformance management feature.
