"Wish I knew about Crystal sooner"
5/5
What do you like best about Crystal?

Crystal was recommeded to me by a colleague recently and I was sceptical but as soon as I tried it, I was amazed. The content is well designed and the tool works all the times I have tried it (5x now). The chrome plugin is a game changer. I almost think that this is a secret weapon that others have been using to get maximum impact from their interactions....and that is why I have not heard about it widely. I would rely on this in a job hunt and recommend it to others if they would like to know how to work with me and other people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crystal?

The $49 is alot for someone from a developing country where the exchange rate to USD is quite high. I wish there was another tier which came is more adfordable. This can pay for itself with the number of new coversions from an untapped market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beyond helpful in sending confident messages to hiring managers"
5/5
What do you like best about Crystal?

I REALLY like having something to go on for both new connections and exisiting relationships. Any time I am sending an email not a text or LinkedIn message instead of a phone call I think about what will actually get a response and how can I write a truly caring message. I feel like I can connect before I even get a reply and I enjoy crafting my messages more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crystal?

I only see more product improvements from here. I would love to help Crystal integrate into the latest Generative AI tools or even add that feature. I'm crafting messages in Google AI studio that I would gladly do in Crystal with profiles in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, Intuitive, and Incredibly Accurate"
5/5
What do you like best about Crystal?

I am absolutely amazed at how accurately Crystal predicts personalities! The level of precision in its analysis left me genuinely surprised. Even though I do not post regularly on LinkedIn the App was spot-on in predicting my own personality, energizers, drainers and ways to approach me.

The app itself is incredibly easy to use, with a clean and intuitive interface.

I highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, co-workers and sales prospects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crystal?

While I am impressed with Crystal's accuracy and ease of use, there are a few areas where the app could improve. One downside is that the DISC personality analysis is not explained in much detail. A more in-depth breakdown of the methodology and what each personality type entails would be incredibly helpful.

Additionally, the app focuses heavily on individual profiles, but it would be great to see more insights tailored towards marketing, such as aggregating individual profiles into a single persona. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Crystal?

The way Crystal identifies your personality and nuances is incredible to start, but the biggest thing is the accuracy. I have used this to look at different post holders in the companies I would like to apply for or for potential leads, and it blew my mind. It is a one-stop shop for boosting you and your organisation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crystal?

The individual pricing is high so you need to be sure its for you or your organisation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Get to know your LinkedIn contacts before you meet..."
5/5
What do you like best about Crystal?

I love how Crystal helps me understand the character of my LinkedIn contacts before I get to meet them. This allows me to prepare for my meeting with their expectations and preferences in mind, I can tailor my plan to appeal to them on an emotional as well as a practical level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crystal?

I'd like to be able to plot the profiles of everyone in the meeting on a single chart so that I can share this with clients.

Aside from that I have found it very easy to use, very simple to install, implement and integrate into LinkedIn. So easy I haven't required any customer support.

I use it every time I meet a new potential customer - why wouldn't you? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Recommend both privately and for business"
5/5
What do you like best about Crystal?

Crystal gives you an sense about how it will be to communicate with a person. Actually I used Crystal before going to a job interview and hey; I got the job. I have also used it on coworkers, friends or people I was going to interview for a job. It actually works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crystal?

I don´t like that they only offer one year subscription. They used to offer a monthly subscription so that's why I purchased it privately although it was expensive. As a manager in a small/medium company I don´t recruit enough people for it to pay off to invest for a year subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New to me but so far, very helpful"
5/5
What do you like best about Crystal?

Find good franchise owners is tough because it depends as much on whether they're a good fit as it does whether they like our concept. Guessing on fit factor can lead to disastrous results. Having a tool like Crystal really helps me see them on a deeper level quickly, and in ways I might have missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crystal?

Actually it integrated pretty easily into my browser, so no problems so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceeding my expectations"
5/5
What do you like best about Crystal?

The profile assessments closely align with the personality insights shared with me by others after I introduced them to Crystal Knows. I strongly believe that understanding someone’s general profile can help avoid misunderstandings and make business relationships more effective and efficient, reducing the need for a lengthy 'get-to-know' process. This tool has the potential to enhance both the speed and accuracy of matching the right candidates to the right positions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crystal?

I can envision situations where someone did not put enogh thought and effort into building a profile, such as on LinkedIn. In such cases, the profile assessments may not align as closely with the persons' natural traits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you are in consulting and you don't have Crystal, you are leaving money on the table!!!"
5/5
What do you like best about Crystal?

The Google extension and how quickly it provides the DISC plus the "to the point" communication tips, especially those that dynamically change with selectors, is simply priceless.

When writing emails, the recipient can be analyzed, and when the interaction in a video conference call, provide hints on how to communicate with the attendees is just amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crystal?

Nothing really. I love the tool, and I think if I need to be critical about something, I will add a feature to analyze a group of people to advise in a group session, the predominant personality to address! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
