"Streamlined Back Office, Clear Processes, Confident Team"
5/5
What do you like best about Whale?

I like that Whale makes knowledge easy to find and keep current, everything from back office flows to troubleshooting steps and even our employee handbook lives in Boards, searchable and structured, so no one wastes time digging or guessing. The value far outweighs the cost. Whale only charges for creators, so the invoice stays lean while the whole company benefits. For me, that means back office flows, chargeability rules, troubleshooting steps, and even our employee handbook are structured and always current. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

Sometimes Whale can feel a bit rigid, setting up Boards and review intervals takes extra clicks, and the interface isn’t always as intuitive as I’d like. It works well once built, but the initial setup can feel slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stijn Smet of Whale

Thank you so much for this one. 🐳💙

I love hearing that Whale is helping you turn all those back-office flows, troubleshooting steps, rules, and handbooks into something your team can actually find and trust. “No digging or guessing” is exactly the kind of outcome we want.

And your feedback on the initial setup being a bit rigid is completely fair. We know there are still places where the experience can be smoother and more intuitive, and we’re absolutely continuing to work on that.

Also, “the value far outweighs the cost” — we may print that one and hang it on the wall.

Thanks again for the thoughtful and honest feedback. We keep working. 💙

What do you like best about Whale?

Keeping my processes organized! I love the structure and organization to keep my processes laid out in an order that makes sense and is easy to search. I love the AI integration and the screen recording for ease of SOP creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

Other people don't utilize it as much. I continue to struggle to get other departments using whale and realizing it's full potential. Lack of internal support (at my company) for guiding trainees to this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stijn Smet of Whale

KAT!!! Not just better onboarding, but EMPLOYEE RETENTION?! Now THAT is what we love to hear! 😍

This is exactly why we built Whale. It's not just about documenting processes or keeping everything organized. It's about giving new employees the confidence, knowledge, and structure they need to succeed, without constantly pulling experienced colleagues away from their work. And seeing that translate into employee retention? That's the dream!

Now, about getting those other departments on board... Challenge accepted! 😉 We know that getting everyone to embrace a new way of working isn't always easy, even when the benefits are staring them right in the face. Sometimes all it takes is showing another department one quick win that makes their day easier. Low Effort, High Impact. That's our philosophy!

Kat, we absolutely LOVE having you as part of the Whale family, and I'm always happy to help you get those other departments just as excited as you are. You know where to find me!

Cheers,

"Whale Makes Knowledge Capture and Process Standardization Effortless"
5/5
What do you like best about Whale?

Whale has been helpful because it enables our company to capture knowledge, standardize processes, and reduce wasted time without relying only on experienced employees to train everyone else. It’s also great for quickly finding “how-to” guides and other work instructions on the fly when we need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

Any downsides we’ve run into are being escalated to our Customer Success Manager, and he’s working internally to determine whether they’re bugs or enhancement requests. Bugs have been getting resolved relatively quickly. Enhancements are also being reviewed, and a couple of the ones we submitted have already been implemented.

"Effortless Training & Module Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Whale?

I like the new features in Whale, especially the screen recording feature, which I find very easy to use. I love personalizing communication because it's essential in property management, and using my voice to support my team is crucial. I love that Whale lets me train my team with modules, and it's really easy to put something together with graphics. It's simple to update modules if processes change, without having to redo the entire thing, which is super helpful in my work. I love that I can track whether team members are reading and completing their training modules. It's important to see who's completing their modules and where they're at, which Whale allows me to do. The setup was easy, and my IT team had great feedback about it. I would definitely recommend Whale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

I don't have any dislikes at this moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stijn Smet of Whale

BIG LUV for this one. 🐳💙

Hearing that Whale is helping you train your team in a way that still feels personal is such a win. Being able to use your own voice, update modules without rebuilding everything from scratch, and actually see who has completed what? That is exactly how training should work.

Also, bonus points for the IT team giving us the thumbs up.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review and for recommending Whale. We appreciate you more than you know. 💙

"Streamlined Knowledge Management with Effortless Setup"
5/5
What do you like best about Whale?

I really like how simple and organized Whale is. The easy-to-use knowledge base and quick access to information are great, making it useful for day-to-day work. I also appreciate the ability to document and standardize processes, which gives our team a clear and consistent way of working. It's helpful for quickly finding what I need without searching through multiple sources and reduces confusion, making it easier for new team members to learn processes. Additionally, I find it easy to set up, as it was no task at all, and Whale works well alongside other tools we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

One area that could be improved is adding even more customization and flexibility for organizing and displaying information. I'd love to see even more AI-powered features, such as smarter search, automatic content suggestion, and easier ways to keep documentation updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stijn Smet of Whale

We appreciate you! 🐳💙

I love hearing that Whale is helping your team bring everything into one place, standardize the way you work, and make onboarding easier for new team members. That combination of “easy to set up” and “actually useful every day” is exactly what we want.

And on the AI side: absolutely heard. 👀 We’re constantly working on making Whale even more AI-powered, from smarter search to better content suggestions and easier ways to keep documentation fresh and up to date.

Thank you again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. The feedback really does help us keep making Whale better. 💙

"User-Friendly Yet Aesthetically Challenged"
4/5
What do you like best about Whale?

I use Whale as a one-stop shop for providing equal access to information like policies and procedures for all employees. Whale allows us to organize everything efficiently, which is a huge help, especially since we have multiple companies, markets, and brands with some service overlap. Employees can stay organized with Whale. I am starting to use the training flow option more to create trainings for different positions that can be reused without needing the previous time commitment from existing team members. Despite some limitations, I appreciate that Whale is user-friendly and quick to get up and running. The initial setup and prolonged use have been very straightforward and user-friendly. Our employees are used to using Whale and automatically turn to the tool when they have questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

When creating cards, I find that the coding limits my ability to freely change fonts and formatting. Copying and pasting into Whale leads to aesthetic inconsistencies. Similar tools allow users to change fonts and font sizes freely, whereas Whale has a set text hierarchy and responds strangely to copying and pasting. This creates inconsistencies across cards, which is a real downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stijn Smet of Whale

We hear you AND we love you. 🐳💙

First of all, hearing that your employees automatically turn to Whale when they have questions? That is basically the dream. Especially across multiple companies, markets, and brands, that kind of consistency and equal access to information is exactly what we want to help create.

And I also really appreciate the honest feedback on formatting. The copy/paste inconsistencies and limitations around fonts and styling are absolutely fair points, and this is exactly the kind of feedback we need to keep improving the experience. Pretty documentation matters too. We currently have the MCP available which already helps a lot better restructuring your content

Thank you for trusting Whale, for using it so deeply across your organization, and for taking the time to tell us both what works and what could be better. We hear you. 💙

"Streamlined Troubleshooting for Campervan Rentals"
5/5
What do you like best about Whale?

I like how easy it is to navigate especially when we have a lot of tasks at work, and Whale sorts out everything for us. I also like how we can suggest changes and input data into it. It's the best app I use so far due to efficiency. The initial setup was pretty simple, and with proper use, we quickly learned how it works. This app helps us tremendously in sorting things out when assisting our customers with troubleshooting and providing guidelines on resolving issues with our campervans.

"All Our Processes, Training, and Checklists in One Place"
5/5
What do you like best about Whale?

One place for all our processes, procedures, video training, checklists, etc. No more searching through a list of documents to find the answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

It's not just Whale, it seems as though ALL our software vendors are making changes and not letting us know about them. I blame it on AI! Otherwise, I guess the only thing I don't like about Whale is that it doesn't like long videos and some of our training videos are longer than it likes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stijn Smet of Whale

First of all, WE LOVE YOU! And thank you so much for taking the time to share this! 💙

Can we just appreciate the fact that your employees are now finding answers themselves instead of constantly interrupting you? THAT is what we call a win! Giving people the confidence to find what they need, when they need it, while giving you some precious time back. That's exactly why Whale exists!

Now, about those software updates... I promise we're not letting AI secretly take over everything! 😂 But I hear you. Things are moving incredibly fast, and we absolutely need to make sure you're kept in the loop. That's valuable feedback, and we're taking it on board.

And those longer training videos? I'd actually LOVE to understand your use case a little better. We're big believers in keeping training short, concise, and digestible, but we also know that not every process fits neatly into a five minute video. Understanding what you're trying to achieve helps us build a better Whale for everyone.

Please send me an email at **stijn.smet@usewhale.io**. I'd genuinely love to thank you personally for this review, hear more about those longer videos, and see how we can make your experience even better.

Cheers,

"All Company Policies in One Place—Easy Answers Without Asking Around"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Whale?

It keeps all company policies and questions in one place, so I don’t have to worry about asking someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

I feel like it can be a little complicated to use when you’re first jumping in. There are also small features you have to remember when setting up boards and training workflows, but I think that would happen with any software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stijn Smet of Whale

This is exactly what we love to hear! No more chasing colleagues around the office for answers or wondering where that one document disappeared to. Everything in one place, right when you need it. LOVE IT! 😍

And I hear you on the learning curve! There's definitely a lot you can do in Whale, and figuring out all the possibilities when you're just getting started can feel a little overwhelming.

But have you met Coral yet? Our AI assistant (formerly known as Alice) is here to save the day! Coral can help you find answers, organize your knowledge, and even brainstorm how to structure your content. We're making Whale more conversational so you can spend less time figuring out *how* to do things and more time actually getting things done.

And hey, I'd genuinely love to thank you personally for taking the time to share this review! Drop me an email at **stijn.smet@usewhale.io**. I'd also be happy to share a few tips and tricks to make your Whale experience even smoother.

Cheers,

"Streamlined Onboarding with Better Performance Insights"
4/5
What do you like best about Whale?

Helps streamline our onboarding process, judge performance, and predict longevity for new employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

It is very manual at the beginning to get everything learned and set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stijn Smet of Whale

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Love hearing that Whale is helping you streamline onboarding, roll out new procedures, and get better insights into employee performance. That's exactly what we're here for!

Now, about that manual setup... have I got some exciting news for you! 👀

Have you met Coral (formerly known as Alice)? Whale has evolved quite a bit, and we're moving away from the days of having to build everything manually.

Coral can now help you rethink and restructure your existing content, brainstorm how your knowledge should be organized, and even help you create it. It's becoming much more conversational. Instead of figuring everything out yourself, you can actually work *with* Whale to build a structure that makes sense for your team.

Our philosophy has always been **Low Effort, High Impact**, and we're making that a reality more than ever.

I'd love to show you what's new because I think we could make your onboarding process even easier!
