"15Five Makes Performance Management Feel Human and Engagement-Driven"
4/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

What I like most about 15Five is the way it combines performance management with real employee engagement. It doesn’t come across as a top-down review tool; instead, it supports continuous feedback through regular check-ins and encourages open, ongoing conversations between managers and their teams.

I also appreciate the emphasis on recognition, goals (OKRs), and manager effectiveness. These areas help create trust and alignment across the team, while still keeping the experience simple and human rather than overly bureaucratic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

What I dislike about 15Five is that it can feel a bit manager-heavy at times—its value depends heavily on how consistently and intentionally managers use it. When check-ins or feedback aren’t handled thoughtfully, it can start to feel like a routine box to tick rather than a meaningful conversation.

Also, some features—like advanced reporting and customization—can feel limited unless you’re on higher-tier plans. And as more modules are enabled, the interface can become a little cluttered, which makes it harder to quickly focus on what matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caitlin Ludke of 15Five

Hi there! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review of 15Five. We’re so glad to hear that 15Five is a useful tool that helps you stay in touch with your managers and team. Creating space for continuous feedback, meaningful check-ins, recognition, and aligned goals is exactly what we aim for. It’s especially great to hear that the focus on manager effectiveness and trust is resonating with you.

We really appreciate your honest feedback around usage and features/customization. We’re continuing to invest in better enablement, reporting, customization, and navigation to ensure the experience stays meaningful, intuitive, and focused as teams grow and adopt more features. We did just release our new AI agent, AMAYA, and our new Insights Dashboard, which may help address some of your reporting/customization questions. You can learn more at the link below!

Thanks for being a part of our 15Five community and sharing your feedback.

"Powerful check-ins and engagement—needs more flexible reporting and smoother onboarding"
3.5/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

15Five is an exceptionally effective performance management and employee engagement platform. It strikes a strong balance between structure and flexibility, enabling managers to set clear goals, track progress, and maintain ongoing, meaningful dialogue with their teams. The weekly check-ins are intuitive and encourage thoughtful reflection, while features like objectives, feedback, and recognition help reinforce alignment and accountability across the organization.

From a management perspective, 15Five provides valuable visibility into team sentiment and performance without creating administrative burden. The data and insights are presented in a way that supports better coaching conversations and more informed decision-making. For employees, the platform is easy to use and fosters a sense of being heard and supported.

Overall, 15Five is a well-designed, scalable tool that meaningfully improves communication, engagement, and performance management. It is particularly well-suited for organizations that value continuous feedback, transparency, and people-first leadership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

While 15Five is a strong performance management and engagement platform, there are several areas where improvements could further enhance its value and usability.

First, reporting and analytics could be more flexible and customizable. While the existing dashboards provide helpful high-level insights, it can be challenging to extract tailored reports for specific teams, timeframes, or business questions. More advanced filtering, export options, and configurable views would make the data more actionable for managers and HR partners.

Second, some workflows feel rigid, particularly around goal management and review cycles. Organizations with nontraditional structures or evolving processes may find it difficult to adapt 15Five to their specific needs. Greater configurability—without added complexity—would allow teams to better align the platform with how they actually operate.

Third, the user experience, especially for new users, could be streamlined. Certain features are not immediately intuitive, and there can be a learning curve to understanding where to find information or how different modules connect. Improved onboarding, clearer in-product guidance, and a more cohesive navigation experience would help drive faster adoption.

Finally, integration depth could be improved. While 15Five integrates with many common tools, tighter, more seamless integrations—particularly with project management, HRIS, and communication platforms—would reduce duplication of effort and increase daily usage.

Overall, these improvements would help 15Five better support growing organizations that need flexibility, deeper insights, and a more intuitive user experience while preserving the strengths of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caitlin Ludke of 15Five

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re really glad to hear that 15Five is supporting meaningful dialogue, clear goal alignment, and ongoing feedback for both managers and employees, and that it’s helping reinforce a people-first, continuous feedback culture.

We truly appreciate your candid feedback around reporting flexibility, workflow configurability, onboarding, and integration depth. These are important areas, especially for growing organizations with evolving needs, and we hear how increased customization, clearer in-product guidance, and deeper integrations would make the platform even more impactful. We will be sure to share this feedback with our product teams.

I also wanted to share that we have some new product releases launching in just a few weeks that may directly address several of the areas you mentioned above. If you’re interested, we’d love to have you join our upcoming Winter 2026 Product Release webinar on 2/17/2026 at 12 PM ET.

Thanks again for taking the time and for being a part of our 15Five community!

"Making performance conversations simple and consistent"
4.5/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

like how 15Five keeps performance conversations simple and human. The weekly check-ins and feedback feel lightweight, and everything—goals, recognition, and one-on-ones—lives in one place, which makes it easy to stay aligned without feeling like HR overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

Some features can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially without proper onboarding. If everything is turned on by default, it can feel slightly process-heavy for smaller or fast-moving teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caitlin Ludke of 15Five

Hi Madhav, thank you for taking the time to review 15Five! We’re so glad to hear that our platform helps keep performance conversations simple and human.

"Intuitive Continuous Reviews That Make One-on-Ones More Productive"
4/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

I think the best thing about the platform is its continuous nature, as opposed to the usual once- or twice-a-year review cycle. Overall, it’s extremely intuitive and easy to use. One-on-ones feel more productive, and it includes a lot of additional features, such as weekly check-ins and the innovative idea of 15 minutes for reports and 5 minutes for managers to review them. I also believe the peer recognition feature is something that’s often overlooked elsewhere. The tool makes it easy to use multiple times and come back more frequently and take note of your career goals and progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

Sometimes weekly cadence can be too much especially when employee is in the middle of a intense project or in between leaves and it gets hard to focus. I believe a little bit more flexibility there will go a long way. Also while performance management is important, employee doesn't need to be reminded about it every so often and 15Five definitely suffers from notification overload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caitlin Ludke of 15Five

Hey there! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear you value the continuous nature of the platform and how it supports more productive 1:1s and ongoing growth. We also hear your feedback around weekly cadence and notification overload, especially during busy or transitional periods, and are actively sharing this with our product team. In the meantime, we do offer resources that walk through how to customize notifications to better fit individual workflows. I've shared that below, but you can also email us at support@15five.com if you need additional assistance. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective!
