What do you like best about Range?

Range helps keeps us all on the same page -- what we're working on and what we're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Range?

No big dislikes. The emotional check-in uses a different color scale than we use elsewhere in our org, but it still works great for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I bring range to every team I manage (Big co and startup)"

5/5

What do you like best about Range?

I've used Range as a manager of a 25 person team at Twitter and with a 6 person team at a 25 person company. In both situations it worked really well. At both places it's been helpful for keeping teammates aware of each other's work and mental state (straightforward async standup) and encouraging consistent growth and improvement of teams around how they work (team development)

Our team uses range to share our individual goals for the day, and a scheduled standup more to talk about how we are going to get things done, who needs reviews/pairs, etc. It functions as a nice todo list and progress tracker on the micro level, and a "how are things going" on the macro level. It's the kinda app that is more about doing all the little things right about team communication and culture rather than a "disrupt work" tool.

Other things I appreciate:

- As mentioned, it tries to meet you where you are rather than tell you how to work

- Very lightweight and very easy to use. It's stickiness is in the value it provides not in the learning curve/integrations

- lots of integrations, handles generic urls when there's not an integration

- Has a very polished Slack app implementation, but also works perfectly fine without it.

- Their support is _super_ prompt and great at getting to the "why" of my questions and proving solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Range?

The objectives and meetings features are a little too vague. I've set them up, but they're tricky to blend into daily use. I respect the intent, but I do want them to work better, although it's not something that impacts our use of Range. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Range:

Use it for just yourself to start, and once you have a feel for the little things it helps with, that certainly helps explain why others should join you in using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem it solves immediately is a nice way to do async standups. The problems it solves that you don't realize at the time, is having a diary of sorts to reflect back on around how a quarter went or how you've been feeling, or how last month compares in some way to this month. And, as a manager, it assists me in keeping the team thinking about team culture and how we work together.

The direct benefits are probably hard to quantify, but the indirect benefits are a better work culture and more predictable engineering work and teammate accountability. You can fake a "range experience" with a Google Doc and some consistent effort, but it's not quite the same, and my time costs more than our range subscription.

"Range - asynchronous standups. You know, so you can use that time for things like collaboration."

5/5

What do you like best about Range?

I enjoy so many of Range's features. One thing that makes my life really easy is the way Range allows me to keep planned work at the top of the page. This makes starting my next day very easy. I look at Range and know right away what my focus for the day is. Also, having an item remain in my to-do list for too many days makes me want to complete the task even more. I also really like the team-building questions. These help foster a sense of camaraderie, especially valuable on distributed teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Range?

There isn't much to dislike. The worst thing for me is when someone on the team misses their Range update. However, Range allows customized reminder schemes that help people stay in the Range check-in groove. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Range:

Here are some of the best reasons I can think of for investing in Range:

- if you have a distributed team Range can make standups work. The EU team can checkin at the end of their day which makes handoff to US-based employees quick and easy. Then any overlap time can be used for collaboration

- if you have standups that feel like "status updates" Range can take care of the basics. Standups can then be used to talk about blockers and requests for help and talking about what's up next.

- if you have trouble tracking what's up next and currently on your plate Range gives you a tool to keep a quick heads-up list of what you need to do that is visible to the rest of your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've been able to move to less "status update" standup time. We use that time to collaborate and we've also managed to triage many backlog items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A true live-saver for async teams and keeping on task!"

5/5

What do you like best about Range?

I feel like I don't take Range to its full potential, but the Check-in feature is by far the easiest and most-effective to-do list I've come across. I find that the integration options with Google Calendar (and others) not only keep me on track but also make it fun to put together (and cross items off of!) my to-do list. The close ties with Slack also make it highly effective for our team members to share their latest progress without needing constant all-hands meetings just for day-to-day updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Range?

Broadly, I feel like there's way more to Range that I don't know about, and perhaps I missed (or skipped) an onboarding wizard, but having some sort of getting started guide would've helped me maximize Range and all it seems to have to offer. Also, this is nitpicky, but the colors they changed the Google Calendar events to when dragging meetings to the check-in list aren't stark enough (between not added and added). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Range helps me stay organized with my team in a fully remote and async environment. Everything goes into my check-in list - if it doesn't, 9 times out of 10, it just doesn't get done 😅

Our team finds it productive to use Range's check-in module to share their to-do list also. Plus, with the Slack integration, check-ins through Range add a layer of transparency and insight into what we're all working on, even when we don't talk 1-on-1 daily.

Thanks for sharing your feedback about Range with others, Tim. You can pull in the meeting action items for attendees in meetings. If that's not what you're looking for, I'd love to find out what you'd like to see in Range so I can share it with the team.

"Organization/Motivation"

4/5

What do you like best about Range?

I really like doing the daily check in, it's nice to plan out my day and the integration with google calendar is nice. I like to also see what my team is doing and see their responses to questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Range?

One thing I'm struggling with is that I feel like I use it once in the morning and then not again until the next day. I wanted to create meeting notes for a previously scheduled meeting not through range but through google and could not figure out how too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Range:

It's perfect if you work at a remote company and want to stay on track and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can more openly communicate with my team members. Our company is fully remote so it's nice to see what everyone is working on. It also helps me lay out my day and what I need to get done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's hard to figure out the meeting structure"

2/5

What do you like best about Range?

Easy to use calendar feature and add my meetings to my morning check-in Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Range?

Hard to figure out meetings, like to start one, how to add an agenda item without actually starting the meeting session, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Range:

I don't have a succinct recommendation, but I do find it very hard to use the meetings. For example, I accidentally try to start a meeting when I simply want to add a flag or blocker as a meeting topic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are trying to let my remote teammates know what I am up to for the day, and also using it as a way to structure our meetings on Zoom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brilliant Product for Building Connection Within Teams"

4/5

What do you like best about Range?

The templates are great building blocks; the ability to personalize and adapt the check-in and meeting templates keeps our team engagement high. The product integrations allow us to use Range as our structured central communication space. I love that the Range team is active in their creative development of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Range?

Being browser-based limits some the portability that having a dedicated app would provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I never have to leave slack, I can easily view everybody's check-ins, and check in myself Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. There are some parts we don't use but there is nothing wrong with them, they just don't fit our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great to hear that our Slack integration has been so useful for you. And it's also great to hear that you've found Check-ins a solid alternative to your former standups. Thank you for sharing your experience here!

"Recommendation"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Range?

Keeps my teams informed on activities.

Lets everyone know what they are working on.

I like the fact that I get reminded of inputing my tasks for the day at the same time everyday.

I love the fact that I can check in using different methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Range?

I do not get notified when a team member completes a task.

Would also like reminders to be more aggressive. So as to get more people to talk on their tasks for the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
