"Still the right successful internal comms tool"
What do you like best about Firstup?

We have spent more time recently utilizing the stories across our sister companies, and Firstup allows for them to remain as the author but also makes it very easy to have comprehensive storytelling across the opcos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firstup?

If there could be more of an admin/reporting level that isn't a content creator. I supervise someone who is responsible for content creation, but I wasn't able to easily look on the back end their metrics without having full access. Otherwise, it is still the right tool and I highly recommend it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FirstUp is THE digital employee experience platform"
What do you like best about Firstup?

FirstUp just introduced Journeys, which allows administrators to automate messaging to tailor fit the employment experience for individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firstup?

I would like the ability to pin critical messages, and I would like employees to be able to share some of their Journeys posts to outside social media, such as birthdays and employment anniversary messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chuck Gose of Firstup

Michael - I'm delighted to hear that Firstup has been a valuable tool for your organization's communication needs. Thanks for the feedback about the lack of ability to pin critical messages and will take that into consideration as we continue to improve our platform. And while print still has a place in comms, no one should have to wait for important company news. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

"Highly effective employee experience platform"
What do you like best about Firstup?

Translated video captions is important functionality we asked for and has now been introduced - thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firstup?

The publishing experience for user-generated content can be improved, especially image editing; introducing name tagging in post content is essential (it can be done in comments, so why not elsewhere?); and FirstUp is missing a trick by not seriously considering employee recognition features/functionality (e.g. e-card to employee that also notifies their manager) as another integrated offering that would allow companies to retire or consolidate other employee tools that provide this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chuck Gose of Firstup

"Shall we play a game?" Love that Firstup is "game changing" for your organization. It's all about delivering a great employee experience, with or without technology. And glad that we can help your employees align with strategic priorities.

The fact that I can't create custom blocks - so PDFs for example have to be in a long line and i would rather they were in small chunks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful tool, not right for everyone"
What do you like best about Firstup?

Awesome technology and great tool for engaging and connecting with workers across all levels of the organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firstup?

Tool is overpowered for a company that isn't fully resourced to activate FirstUp's potential. I also found that the renewals team was fairly pushy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more creative capabilities, like different ways to incorporate images and graphics! But I'm sure there is still so much to learn and I am excited to explore opportunities within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
