"Nestor is well integrated, intuitive and helps with people’s growth"

5/5

What do you like best about Nestor?

I like the fact that I have one single tool for everything I do with regards to my direct reports’ performance and development. We use it for OKRs, track KPIs and team progress, run monthly 1:1s and performance reviews, answer to engagement surveys and share peer feedback. The feature that I love is the growth plan and skills profile for each of my direct reports. I am able to see the gaps and the requirements for each role in my team and I can track their progress over time.

Dashboards are rich and informative, and the interface is intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

Too many notifications :). I’d like to be able to organize threads and receive some of the notifications in an aggregated email. Other than that, I feel that the tool does its job pretty well. The Slack integration is great, but it would be great if I could switch some of the email notifications to come in a separate slack channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nestor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nestor makes my 1:1s more effective and helps me focus on results. My team is more focused on what they need to do, so managing expectations is something that Nestor really helps me with. Also, I can see the skills availability in my team and their allocation.

Another important thing that I’d love to mention is that it really saves me time in gathering and organizing information.

I can see my people being open to take more responsibility and ownership over their performance and growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nestor supports a culture of learning and high performance"

5/5

What do you like best about Nestor?

I love the skills hub because is very flexible, everything is configurable and it helps us establish a common language for our people when reffering to skills and capabilities.

The user interface is modern, easy to use and it offers nice charts everywhere.

Good reporting module with multiple filters and selections to segment the data.

The skills module is well connected and integrated with feedback forms, performance reviews and objectives.

The onboarding was very smooth and the customer success team is very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

Is hard to find something I don’t really like, but small improvements are always well received. More flexibility in setting and configuring different notifications may be something worth mentioning.

The support is amazing! Every time we needed a change or we needed their help it just happened almost instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nestor solving and how is that benefiting you?

We found in Nestor a unique approach to bringing skills into our performance and development processes. The fact that every employee has its own skills profile that is connected with 360 reviews, pulse surveys, objectives and individual development plans was exactly what we needed at the time we chose Nestor as a partner.

The tool helps us achieve complete visibility over the skills our employees have and offers us the opportunity to use our talent at the highest potential.

Our employees are very happy with the user experience, as the tool is very friendly and the interface is stunning. Managers love it because they have access to team reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nestor empowers our team to collaborate clearly and transparently on our objectives and progress."

5/5

What do you like best about Nestor?

The process for setting OKRs is straightforward, cascading from superiors' objectives is easy and being able to check other colleagues' dependencies & progress is very useful.

I also find the new Skills & projects section. On the one hand, this supports clearly defining my skills and progress with my manager, and on the other hand, it allows me to check other jobs in the company for potential new roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

Nothing about the tool itself. I find it highly usable, customizable in terms of notifications and with an intuitive reporting view.

The challenge for teams is the initial adoption of the methodology (we introduced OKRs at the same time as the tool) and actually using it - timely imputing information and progress into the app so that it can reach its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nestor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nestor helps us to set OKRs and track the progress clearly, further check teams and departments' results and manage performance bonuses. Thus, Nestor brings clarity on work that needs to be done and transparency on what other colleagues are working on, so we can better work transversally.

The Skills and Projects market feature supports personal development. It also allows for an easier transition of employees inside the company when they're looking for new opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great way to keep myself accountable and learn how I can be better at my work"

5/5

What do you like best about Nestor?

Nestor helps me see in a clear way what are my role’s responsibilities and what are the skills I need to develop in my role. The platform really surprised me because this is a great space where I can connect with my colleagues, see what others are working on, share feedback, recognize other’s work and, most importantly, really understand how our company values are promoted through work and projects (by both, management and other colleagues).

To keep it short, Nestor is like a playground where everyone strives to be better and contribute to the company success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

I love that I can use it from my phone, however a native mobile application would be great. It would make me come back to it a few times a day :)

Nothing else more to say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nestor solving and how is that benefiting you?

An easy-to-use platform with a friendly design and informative nudges. I like the fact that I can virtually meet any colleague from the company and this is super helpful especially when you are a new hire. Creating goals and defining your own KPIs is super easy and sharing feedback is just one click away. Also, having my own profile with everything I need to do, what I should develop and painting my own career path is super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great choice for managing performance and career development"

5/5

What do you like best about Nestor?

What I like best about Nestor is how it connects two major areas: all activities related to performance cycles (objectives, feedback, and performance reviews), and employee development and growth based on existing skills and capabilities. As a manager, it gives me visibility into the skills and capabilities my team holds, as well as insights into the existing gaps in skill levels compared to job expectations. Once we are aware of the areas that need improvement, we can easily set up development objectives and track their progress in the same way we deal with performance objectives.

Also, having insights on people's skills from multiple perspectives (peer and self-assessments) as well as their performance can help us conduct more specific and engaging performance reviews than in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

What is least helpful about Nestor? What are the downsides of using Nestor?

Not sure I have something urgent to bring here. There is always room for new functionalities, but the updates are coming pretty often. I’d like to have a way of attaching documents on objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nestor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since implementing Nestor, we have noticed a significant increase in setting new development objectives as a result of the quarterly performance reviews. It is also useful for keeping track of objectives, and the notification system has been very helpful in this regard. For example, if a colleague is falling behind on their objectives, I receive a notification and can set up a meeting to discuss any roadblocks and possible solutions. The multiple options for assessing competencies are also great and allow us to understand strengths and identify areas for improvement in our teams we weren’t aware of before.

A great way for managers to learn about their team culture and develop as leaders.

Easy to find other people with the skills I am interested in and see the projects they are involved in.

"Nestor helps me understand what I need to focus on and where the company goes"

5/5

What do you like best about Nestor?

I like how the software guides you in creating outcome-based goals and the fact that is very easy to see the progress over time.

I can also see and interact with other colleagues and even work together on projects.

The dashboards are very nice and allows you to filter the information however you like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

There are some words that still need to be translated. Some info messages are displayed in English even though I have switched to my local language.

Nothing else outstanding at the moment, the software is friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nestor solving and how is that benefiting you?

First of all Nestor brings the clarity I ever wanted - starting with the activities that I need to do, to the level of expertise I need to have and where to use it best.

It helps me clearly understand the strategic directions my company has and what are the initiatives I can propose or join based on the skills I have and my level of experience.

Nestor offers us a better way to synchronize and engage with other departments and learn what other people are working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
