**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2022

**What do you like best about Whale?**

The user interface is very friendly and helps you break up the material into easier-to-learn chunks. It's an awesome way to structure training material and my team has had a good time using it so far.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

Only thing I've seen that might be considered a downside is that there is no sorting option. This isn't a big deal but it means I have to manually put playbooks in alphabetical order if that's what I'm looking to do.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used to have our documentation spread out over multiple systems. This gives us an easy way to consolidate everything to one place and gives us the ability to confirm if users have completed their assigned training.

**Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Whale?**

Whale is so easy to set up! It takes some time to figure out the structure you want but once you have that figured out, the real fun begins! The Whale team guides you every step of the way. Especially our Customer Success Manager, Stino, is very helpful. He is very responsive! It doesn't matter what time of day it is for him, since he's based in Belgium, you can expect him to answer you within a couple of hours not minutes. Now we finally have a place where our users can look up processes without asking themselves if it is the correct one!

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

Nothing so far! Whale is very intuitive & easy to set up!

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We had a Google Drive that was flooded with outdated processes, and manuals,... Things just sat there to die. Now we can set up a timing where a certain piece of the process should be reviewed;

**Official Response from Lisa Steingold:**

> Thanks for the great feedback on 🐳! We've worked hard to create an intuitive tool that's easy to use so we're super excited that's what you're getting from Whale!
We do love our Stino 🥰

Interface if Use whale is quite simplest and easy to use. Onboarding exercises and videos are super cool. you Don't need to Jump in here and there. It start assigning you tasks by it self which is the best thing about Usewhale

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

Since I am using it for a month but I was surprised to find nothing ambiguous. I tried multiple features from different platforms and tried to find out all of them in Usewhale and luckily i found all of them at a single place.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main problem was using multiple platforms, and multiple drive folders for processes, sops and procedures. Usewhale solved that problem to place everything on a single platform with proper access protocols.

**Official Response from Lisa Steingold:**

> Thank you Ali! Keep up the great work 🐳

  ### 4. Highly Flexible KMS for Training, Onboarding and SOP management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Whale?**

Whale provides a comprehensive KMS/LMS for companies to provide a structured solution for training, onboarding, standard operating procedures and designed in a way to easily build out, add content, and assign ownership to SMEs. It provides built in tools, and the Whale team is very open to feedback on how to enhance and improve its product/platform.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

i don't see any downsides. i do think having different levels of contributors, and admins would be helpful to manage content creation, users, and admins. today there's only two options.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Training, Onboarding, and scaling with SOPs that can be easily searched, tagged, and organized for the entire company to access. It provides a tool for quicker onboarding, training, and scale as incumbents don't have to spend as much time doing training.

**Official Response from Lisa Steingold:**

> Jonathan, thank you for the kind words. 
It's such a privilege for us to work with your team! 🐳

  ### 5. A very nice addition to our customer-oriented documentation solutions for knowledge base usage

**What do you like best about Whale?**

Search functionality works great. Fact that we can analyze query's in order to add more knowledge works brilliant.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

The weekly digest mails seem a bit childish to me using all these emoticons/ emoji's. I like the informal approach as opposed to super formal. But this is a bit overdone in my opinion.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A central place to collect internal knowledge regarding all our daily operations. No more knowledge in a single person's head, but readily available for everyone.

Whale is very intuitive to use. It's great how easy it is to store all company knowledge in one place. Plus, setting up Whale also made us question, review, and optimize the processes within the company.

We are still at the beginning, but no significant problems have come up so far.

  ### 12. Great tool to begin with!

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2022

**What do you like best about Whale?**

I'm going to begin by saying that it is such a user-friendly tool. Great for companies that are beginning to document and keep control of their SOPs, policies, work instructions, etc. In other words, this is a tool that I'm sure is going to be great if you want to establish a documentation culture in your company.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

I was presented by Whale's team all the features that they have to offer (so this is not something that I dislike), so I knew from the beginning that something that would be great to have in the following months is the option to create approval routes and maybe also to create more document structural levels.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Definitely, document control! This tool is going to be of a lot of help for new collaborators! A single source of truth right here.

**Official Response from Lisa Steingold:**

> Thank you Jorge! It's an honour for us to have been working with your team!

  ### 13. Working with Whale is worth it.

**What do you like best about Whale?**

Documenting is super easy and central for all colleagues.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

No names when searching. Please include the name of the person who searched for something.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To keep all the documentation in one place.

  ### 14. Followed by All

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cody M. | Special Projects Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account

**Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review.

**Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review.

**Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2022

**What do you like best about Whale?**

Whale gives me a place to document my business processes that is accessible by my whole team. If I need my team to review a process, the process can be assigned and each team member's completion can be tracked.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

Copying old forms that were created in Word or other programs is a little clunky. Reformatting these forms can be frustrating. It is easy to just rebuild them from scratch or they can be linked through a Google drive.

**Recommendations to others considering Whale:**

Get it out of your head and into whale

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

All of my processes were either in my head or on my computer. No one on my team had access to these processes or each process was sent out individually. Having all processes in one location that can be accessed by the whole is a game changer.

**Official Response from Lisa Steingold:**

> Hey Cody!
Thanks for your great feedback! We aim to be "The place to document business processes" so it's great to hear!
Keep up the great work!

**What do you like best about Whale?**

I love the layout and the way it's easy for users to find the information they need quickly. I also love the stats and analytics that share helpful insights into what users are searching for so we can support and improve the information available.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

The least helpful thing about Whale is getting to grips with the language of the different elements, (e.g., playbook, cards, etc.) but to be fair, they have developed the ability to rename these so the language can be customized to your own company language, which is pretty cool!

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sharing company knowledge and allowing the team to find helpful SOPs and contribute to the business IP.

**Official Response from Lisa Steingold:**

> Yes! Sounds like you're really using Whale to scale up! 🐳 
Thanks for the feedback and keeping rocking like you do😍!

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2022

**What do you like best about Whale?**

Initially, I liked that Whale was connected to Traction Tools (software used by companies running on EOS). As well as I was able to confirm with many references in the EOS community that they used it and loved it. But once I got started. It was the extreme availability of their support team that made this an easy tool to help us get up and running.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

I wish there was a swimlane process document creator as part of the toolset.- I guess any plugin that would make flow diagrams.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have a small company, made up of many fractional resources. Process documentation about how to do a job is most valuable EXACTLY when that person needs it. Team members only want information when they want to consume it. You can blame Google if you want, but every organization needs to have this standardization figured out. Whale completely solves this for us. Creating one process to be used by all - shared with all.

**Official Response from Lisa Steingold:**

> Thanks for the fantastic comments and feedback! 🐳 We're currently working on our templates and process creation so watch this space 😊

Whale has been incredibly easy to get started setting up. I like how user friendly it is.

As of right now, the only thing I dislike is the inability to unpublish a card. However, I have provided that feedback and it appears to be something that they are already working on, so that's a plus.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Whale is helping our business to organize our processes. With that organization, we hope to be more efficient with not only new hire training, but also on-going training.

**Official Response from Lisa Steingold:**

**What do you like best about Whale?**

Whale has a straightforward interface. The Whale team is helpful and responsive.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

In some ways, the product is still young. There are a few features that are a little cumbersome when used on a broad scale. However, the Whale team is interested in and responsive to my feedback.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We started with processes stuck in people's heads, in Word docs, in various Google drives, and on sticky notes. We needed one "go-to" place for process. Now, Whale is that place.

**What do you like best about Whale?**

Being able to store and manage all policy and process in one place has been very helpful. Users are able to find things quickly with the search functions and browser extension that Whale offers.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

Currently the search function in the extension is broken. Would love to be able to integrate more with Sharepoint or other Microsoft products, although I understand Google's API allows for much more.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is unifying a few platforms into one. This creates less chaos and confusion when searching for what you need. While this is a benefit for the admin team, this is a huge benefit for the users as well.

**What do you like best about Whale?**

It is very easy to use, who knew we could document processes so quickly?

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

I wish the templates had more resources, "best practices", that other companies might want to adopt.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have not documented many internal processes, but through the EOS, we have realized we must do this in order to grow. Whale is solving this for us.

**What do you like best about Whale?**

I like Whale's simple user interface and attention to things like update reminders and the ability to rename sections to match the company's lexicon. The Suggestions functionality is also SUPER powerful. Wiki tools shouldn't be that complicated — Whale delivers.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

Two things. It would be the ability to test knowledge. It's not a deal-breaker but maybe more of a nice to have. Additionally, pricing is on the higher end compared to competitors.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A couple of things: New Employee On-boarding and Knowledge Management. Whale centralizes best practices and makes it easy to search, share, and update knowledge.

Not really a criticism, but I haven't needed the dashboard landing page. I would prefer a large search bar as my "log in" zone.

I have not had enough time with the product yet to dislike anything.

Whale is extremely easy to implement through the Board/Playbook/Card system. We see limitations with the layout as an advantage to focus on content quality. I also appreciate the on-the-job training permitted by linking training cards to specific web pages.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

Whale could use an embedded Quiz option to confirm each training has been efficient.

**Recommendations to others considering Whale:**

have your backbone ready before implementation!

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving the issue of onboarding/training our employees over time. By centralizing all training materials, we allow experts to refer to a single place to find all kinds of resources. We are helping our coaches train new employees more efficiently.

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2021

**What do you like best about Whale?**

User interface. This is probably one of the best-looking process and training tools out there in terms of simplicity and designability. Most recent updates enable the users to craft a custom-looking site that fits into the company brand. Other tools have this ability, but in my experience, Whale brings a whole level of ease of interaction and looks.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

We have received feedback from our clients using whale that it may take a second to sync across all platforms, this may be due to our client's own internet speed, or it may be on the backend for Whale. Our team did not have that issue, it may have been a one-off situation. There are some features that would greatly help our clients and us that whale does not currently offer. But every business will have its own specialized use for the platform, and it is understandable that Whale may not provide everything we need. They are working on updates every week, which is a good sign because they are constantly pushing out new features.

**Recommendations to others considering Whale:**

This tool is great for SOP or training. The platform interface is very friendly, and anybody can quickly navigate through it. The real value comes in the plug-in, something that I have not seen other software include. The plug-in helps people quickly find the information relevant to the website they are on, which reduces the time the team has to spend searching for it.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using a new technology app or tool is very intimidating for people, especially those who are less proficient in this domain. When we looked at software and decided on Whale, the key features were accessible of use and design. Anybody without a coding background or degree can figure out how to get the most basic use out of Whale. Our clients are very wary of new technology, and not using the software they are paying for is perhaps the worst offender. However, they seem to get along very well with Whale and did not have any complaints about the platform. They have all praised Whale for how easy it is to use.

Nothing to dislike so far, product has been great.

**Recommendations to others considering Whale:**

This product made a huge difference for us when it comes to easily accessing critical documentation.

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2021

**What do you like best about Whale?**

It tackles the problem of inter-departmental silos and aids in sharing information across different roles and different departments. Information that is readily available for one department but sometimes difficult to obtain yet extremely valuable for another department. Aside from that, it enriches the toolset that's already present in our organization and integrates well with our document sharing solutions, so we don't need to "rip and replace" but can use whale as a catalyst to get more value out of our other tools (i.e., google drive, etc.)

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

We would like to see more integrations become available. However, the whale guys are very readily available for feedback, and I feel this issue is being resolved.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

So the problem we had is that a lot of time - work hours/billable hours - was being wasted chasing internal information that an outside client would assume is known by everyone in the company. Whale allows for a quicker and more understandable way to share this information across departments, resulting in less time being wasted chasing information and more time becoming available to service our clients.

**What do you like best about Whale?**

It's so easy to use Whale while I'm working and without even leaving my tools. I own an online platform, and it's easy to surface the knowledge I need when I need it.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

I honestly do not have any dislikes. It works perfectly for me.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I work with several people, but it's so exhausting to explain everything more than once. With Whale, I just put the input in the tool and tag the right persons. They get a notification AND they can see the information when they need it. So it solves a lot of time issues.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

There is not a lot that I dislike. Perhaps that you need to save a page as opposed to automatically saving.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Whale allows me to solve the problem of standard documentation and easy accessibility. It also helps with uniform formatting. I love the fact that I can include videos and screenshots to help with the documentation.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

I haven't found anything that I genuinely dislike.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our primary purpose for finding a training and onboarding solution was to train employees and newcomers on the process aspects of our software stack. The way Whale provides bitesize content in the browser is for sure best in class.

**What do you like best about Whale?**

Whale offers a simplified digital solution for many processes which previously required lengthy and time consuming documentation. It makes documenting much easier and much more fun! Whale is very self-explanatory and straightforward to use, and friendly and quick support is offered as needed. It allows for accessing the latest most up-to-date documents at any time, which is a great advantage.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

It takes some time to fully adapt and integrate to our internal workflow but as said, the support is great and the team helps out to find the best solution for all. The Whale team offers solutions in order to optimize use of Whale in daily practice.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is a great advantage to have all up-to-date information stored in a centralized place plus being accessible at any time. Whale definitely made processes less time consuming and eventually more cost-efficient.

**What do you like best about Whale?**

The most helpful aspect of Whale is the automations. When Whale sees you're working on a particular project or in a specific area, it reminds you of the processes you should keep top of mind. It makes it simple for everyone to follow the same processes, every time.

**What do you dislike about Whale?**

The cards can take a little while to put together.

**What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Whale enables us to keep all of our SOPs in one place—meaning only one place to update every process! We always have the most recent version of the SOP available when we need it. It keeps us on the same page day in, day out.
