"Easy to Complete Performance Reviews and Provides Great Check-In Questions for Career Development"
5/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

The platform excels in supporting performance reviews, helps track individual and team goals and facilitates one on one meetings with managers and I also like that it allows us to give quick High Fives to anyone in our company that we want to acknowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

Some of the questions can get a bit overused sometimes so I would suggest adding in more templates for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keeps My Team Aligned Without Micromanaging"
4.5/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

The absolute best part for managing multiple projects is how much this cuts down my calendar. The Weekly Check-ins let my team drop quick updates on what is blocking them before I even have to ask. I also really dig the High Fives feature. When a team member grinds hard to hit a tough deadline, giving them public credit instantly goes a long way in keeping morale up during stressful sprints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

My main issue is that the Objectives dashboard gets really cluttered if you are juggling a lot of overlapping timelines. It is supposed to keep everything organized, but updating those progress bars manually every single week just feels like extra busywork. I really wish it synced smoother with the actual task-tracking tools like Jira or Asana that my team is already living in all day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caitlin Ludke of 15Five

Hi Kratika, thanks for taking the time to share your experience! It’s great to hear that weekly check-ins are helping reduce meeting load and giving you better visibility into blockers ahead of time. We also love to hear that High Fives are supporting team morale, especially during busy project cycles!

We appreciate your feedback on the Objectives dashboard as well. Managing multiple timelines should feel organized, not overwhelming, and we understand how manual updates can start to feel like extra work. We'll be sure to share your feedback, along with future integration ideas, with our product team.

Thanks again for your review and for being a part of our community!

"Digital Heartbeat of Hit and Fit Gems"
4.5/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

What makes this unique for Hit and Fit Gems is the "High Five" feature. It sounds simple, but in a retail shop, it’s a game-changer. When a showroom assistant helps a customer find the perfect engagement ring, anyone on the team can give them a public shout-out. It creates a "gratitude wall" that actually boosts morale more than a random bonus check ever could. I also love the "1-on-1" templates because they force us to talk about career growth, not just daily sales targets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

The biggest headache is the pricing for my part-time staff. I have people who only work the floor on weekends, but I still have to pay the full monthly "pro" price just to get them into the system for basic feedback. Also, the mobile app is definitely built for office workers; it can feel a bit clunky when you're trying to quickly log a goal while standing behind a jewelry counter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caitlin Ludke of 15Five

Hi Divyanshi, thanks for taking the time to review 15Five! It’s great to hear that High Fives and 1-on-1 templates are having a meaningful impact on your team, especially in creating recognition and more thoughtful development conversations.

We also appreciate your perspective on pricing for part-time staff and the mobile experience. We understand how important flexibility is for teams with varying schedules and we'll be sure to share this feedback with our product team.

Thanks for being a part of the 15Five community!

"Great for the Website, Tough for the Showroom: My 15Five Review"
4/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

Whenever we launch a new jewelry collection on our website, we can set a clear sales goal for the whole team to see. My absolute favorite feature is the "High Fives." When one of our reps closes a big deal on a high-end piece, everyone can give them a virtual shoutout. It really boosts morale on the floor and keeps the energy up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

The biggest downside is that the software really isn't built for physical retail or warehouse staff. While it's great for the team sitting at their computers, asking my showroom staff or the crew packing gems to stop what they are doing to fill out a weekly online survey just feels like I'm giving them annoying homework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caitlin Ludke of 15Five

Hi Sourabh, thank you for sharing your feedback with us! It’s great to hear how you’re using goals to align the team around new collection launches, and we love that High Fives are helping create that sense of energy and recognition across your team.

We also really appreciate your honest feedback around the experience for showroom and warehouse staff. We never want 15Five to feel like an assignment, and we're always exploring ways to make participation feel lightweight and natural for all types of employees. We will be sure to share this feedback with the team.

In the meantime, we do have a 15Five mobile app for both iOS and Android users. I've linked the Help Center articles below. This may make it easier for employees to fill out check-ins or give High Fives on the go. If you have any questions about this, you can email us at support@15five.com and we'd be happy to assist.

"Empowers Manager-Employee Engagement, With Room for Innovation"
5/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

I use 15Five for employees to track their weeklies with their managers, define their goals, and monitor progress. I appreciate that it gives visibility on progress across the whole organization and allows us to challenge managers so that they prioritize the growth of employees, share feedback, and develop rigor and structure in their regular meetings. What I like the most is the questions 15Five raises, which enables managers to become more relevant and focused in their management, unlocking real business value through this. The feature I value the most is the weekly check-in, which I use extensively as it acts as a key tracker of performance and what’s happening between managers and their direct report, enabling growth in feedback within the organization. The initial setup was very smooth, with great online onboarding and templates available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

The weekly check-ins can become repetitive and team members can sometimes lose engagement. It would be great to challenge the structure over time through recommendations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caitlin Ludke of 15Five

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us! It’s great to hear how you’re using 15Five to bring more visibility, structure, and meaningful conversations into your managers’ day-to-day and that the initial setup/onboarding was easy to move through.

We also hear you on the check-ins feeling repetitive over time; keeping engagement fresh is incredibly important. Did you know that you can customize the questions that show up in a weekly check-in? This allows weekly check-ins to stay fresh and can help boost engagement. I've linked an article on managing check-in questions below, however, if you need additional support you can email us at support@15five.com.

"15Five Makes Performance Conversations Feel Human"
4.5/5
What do you like best about 15Five?

15Five actually makes performance conversations feel human, not forced. The weekly check-ins are simple but powerful — they keep everyone aligned without feeling like micromanagement. I also love the recognition features and how easy it is to give feedback in real time. It genuinely helps build a culture where people feel seen and heard, which is rare in many tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

One downside of 15Five is that some features can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially for new users who are not familiar with performance management tools. It takes a bit of time to fully understand how to best use all functionalities. Additionally, customization options for reports and workflows could be more flexible to better fit different team needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caitlin Ludke of 15Five

Hi Geanina, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback!

We're so glad to hear that 15Five is helping make performance conversations feel more natural and meaningful, and that features like check-ins and recognition are supporting a culture where people feel valued.

We also appreciate your thoughts on the initial learning curve and customization. We know getting started can feel like a lot at first, and we’re continuing to improve onboarding and flexibility so teams can more easily tailor the platform to their needs. We'll be sure to share this with our product team.
