15Five Reviews & Product Details

The weekly check in and the 1 on 1 agenda tools have truly transformed our meeting culture. Both managers and employees arrive irritated with a clear outline, which keep our conversation focused and much more productive than they were previously. In also really value the real time recognition features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting suite has a bit of a learning curve, and it can take some time for new users to figure out exactly where the deep-dive analytics are located. While the data is high quality, the navigation within the reporting tab could be more intuitive. I also believe the platform could benefit from more flexible customisation options for the internal engagement surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use 15Five in my organization for goal setting, reviewing, and tracking the performance of my team members. 15Five has really helped streamline getting weekly updates from my team, which was previously a bottleneck. I can easily set up one-on-one discussions, which gives me visibility into my team's progress. One of the best parts that I like about 15Five is monitoring my team's engagement with the pulse survey. It's very innovative and easy to use. I share feedback with each team member through pulse surveys, and it doesn't feel like a burden to participate, so almost every team member joins in, making the performance management process more effective. I've heard the setup was easy, and the customer service team is very responsive and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel it would be better if the application allows more customizations in the pulse surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

15Five shifted us from lagging indicators to leading ones. The HR Outcomes Dashboard connects engagement data, performance reviews, and turnover signals in one view, letting me spot at risk employees before they show up as exit interviews. Department level filters make it easy to show leadership exactly where engagement is dropping and propose targeted action plans rather than broad initiatives with no specificity.

Platform value depends heavily on manager adoption. Where check in completion rates are inconsistent, the data thins and insights lose reliability. There is no built-in enforcement mechanism, so driving adoption requires external accountability from HR rather than the tool managing it independently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main objective of using this software is to manage people in our organisation, it's weekly check ins and 1 on 1 tool helping us to keep communication consistant and helps manager and employees to stay on the same page and the goral setting OKR tracking feature make it clear what need to be achieved and keep everyone aligned.

It's little bit complex when you first start using it because there are so many features. But after spending some time with it, it becomes much easier to navigate and use effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Over time, what stands out more clearly is how consistently the platform supports structured check-ins and ongoing feedback without adding friction to the workflow. As I continued using it, the experience felt predictable and easy to maintain, especially when revisiting goals and tracking progress across different review cycles. The way feedback, goals and check-ins connect feels deliberate rather than fragmented, which helps in keeping everything aligned without needing multiple tools.

From a day to day perspective, the platform remains reliable for routine performance tracking. It doesn’t require frequent adjustments once set up, which makes it practical for repeated use. I also noticed that navigation and feature discovery become more intuitive with continued use, reducing the need for external guidance. Overall, the experience feels consistent and manageable even when used over a longer period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The trial duration still feels somewhat limited when trying to evaluate the platform in a more realistic team setting. While the core features are accessible, it can be difficult to fully understand how the system behaves over multiple performance cycles within a short timeframe. Extending the trial period slightly would allow for a more complete evaluation, especially for teams that rely on structured and recurring workflows.

Additionally, some level of deeper customization or flexibility in how workflows are configured could be beneficial as usage grows. This becomes more noticeable when trying to adapt the platform to slightly different team structures or review approaches over time. While the current setup works well for standard use cases, additional flexibility would improve long-term adaptability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

15Five range of features is genuinely impressive. It includes 1:1 agendas, action items, surveys and performance reviews bascially everything you need to manage a team without constantly jumping between different tools. I also really value the advising resources 15Five provides, since they inprove the overall work experience by offering practical insights and guidance. The integration with systems like ADP is another, because it keeps employee data updated without extra to date without any extra effort. And the high fives features is a great extra touch it makes recognition feel simple and natural rather than forced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I haven’t run into sny problems. The features are solid and works as expected, though goal alignment and reporting take a small time to understand at first. It would help if adding these items and setting dates for tgem were more streamlined. Clearer guidance or a simpler setup process would make difference, especailly for admins.

I use 15Five to help managers keep a regular pulse on their teams. The weekly reflections allow employees to quickly share what they worked on, what is going well, and where they may need support. This gives managers useful context before meetings instead of starting conversations without preparation. I also find the engagement insights helpful because they summarize feedback from different teams and highlight patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. Having recognition, goals, and feedback available in one workspace helps HR stay closer to what employees are experiencing day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some reporting sections require a bit of time to get familiar with. The information is valuable once you learn where it lives, but first time users may need guidance to locate certain analytics or past feedback records. A slightly clearer layout would make navigation easier for new managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We stared using 15Five for weekly check ins and it fastest became part of how we work. Most of our teams rely on the 1 on 1 feature to stay aligned with their managers. The HighFives are genuinely fin to use and people reallys enjoy giving reconition to each other other. We also run the annual enagement survey through it which saves us from dealing with separate tools. The best self review process works well for our performance cycles. OKRs help us track what matters without overcomplicating things. After checks in and meetings managers get practical guidance that actually make sense. This has made a real difference in how we collect feedback and tie it back to what the business needs. The whole experience feels straightforward and our people have adopted it without much resistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some folks on our team find the interface a busy. They have mentioned that having an optional simplified view would help them focus on just the essential without extra distraction. The prompts for checks ins tend to repeat after a while which makes some people tune out. Adding more variety or letting us rotate prompts ourselves would go a long way in keeping people engaged over time. Its not a dealbreaker, but these small tweaks would improve the overall experience for users who prefer a cleaner, more streamlined setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate having a single, unified platform for all manager engagement. It has served as a reliable hub for 1:1 sessions, weekly check-ins, and performance reviews, keeping everything documented in one place. Recently, I’ve found the objectives feature particularly useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m still not entirely convinced by the high five system. While I do participate in giving and receiving them, it can sometimes feel a bit like a popularity contest. I also worry that it primarily caters to certain personality types who crave public validation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

15Five insights dashboard provides a really useful view of performance trends and overall team engagement. I especially like how easy it is to see survey results and staff comments in one place, rather than having to jump between different sections. We use it for 1:1s, weekly checks ins, and reviews, and I also refer back to it for details my boss may need to remember about who I am and how I work. The way everything is presented feels clear, simple and easy to understand. It also works well with goal tracking and the manager tools, which makes it easier to connect feedback to daily work and keep upmwith follow ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platfrom is generally straightforward and easy to use, but there are still a few areas where the layout could be simplified so people can find what they need a faster. I havn’t run into any issues so far, everything looks good, and all the tools and integrations are working properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
