15Five vs. Deel

We love the ability to recognize peers and align the High Fives with core values (and having it integrate with Slack creates visibility which encourages use of the feature) The Performance Review features are quite customizable and do most of what we'd like. The goal setting function is robust, however I wish that area was a bit less complicated as we'd like to be able to zoom out for company milestones, it just looks busy. In terms of managing an employee's lifecycle from hire on past their 30/60/90 day goals, that piece is customizable however I'd love it if check-ins were completely custom.

As a freelancer with previous and current international contracts, I was signing compliance contracts and receiving international payments with so much hassle. When the company changed to Deel, it was just a matter of three clicks to be able to sign contracts and files. I received my invoices in minutes, and the payment had a DATE!

• The Pulse Check feature is both easy to use and allows staff and management to gauge how team health is.
• The metric and key performance tools are very well designed.
• Automated reminders and reporting are great features.
• I find the customer services to be best in class.

• Provides a easy, transparent and fast way to receive money from abroad.

• I think 15Five dashboards can be quite clunky and difficult to use
• I think their One-on-one management feature makes it difficult to track action items or search histories across time or multiple employees--a simple Google Doc is much more effective or Notion if you want even more functionality
• In my opinion, 15Five's customer service is among the worst I have experienced from a software company. They will nickel and dime you and use hidden fine print to wring as much money as they can from you.

• The conversion rates are a little bit high
• Customer service has its delays and it's sometimes just slow
• Feels a bit rigid with agreements customization

This program is the absolute best I've ever used in 30 years with organizations. Not only do I enjoy being a user and "filling it out" every week- but I would personally buy it if available for goal tracking in my personal life I love it that much!

We have been using this software for the last two years in the company of the a.m. Right now, I am part of the admin team for this software, so just being able to have a 1:1 usage of the software has helped me to realize how many aspects any other saw HR tool are lacking.

It's very simple to use - not overly complicated. You wouldn't need training to use. There are some features I never use because I don't understand -- like one on ones. However we use without and still find a lot of value in it!

I find Deel great for safety, privacy, security, and reliability. However, the UX is not always easy to navigate, which can hinder use. They do have great support, but it’s needed because the analytics and reporting are not perfect. I have not heard too many complaints, though.

15Five support is quick and helpful. We work with other vendors in the people management space and performance tracking/management who offshore their support or force us into long queues to chat for support and it just doesn't support our needs very well. 15Five is responsive and speedy. We constantly evaluate our vendors for their support and have switched vendors in the past in other areas because of limited support capabilities

Very helpful webinar training. They answer questions, the slides are all very helpful, and they send you the presentation once the webinar is complete so that you can share with your team.

It was very easy and support was super helpful!

Visually 15Five blows Yammer out of the water! Yammer was easy to use as well, but it felt very difficult to get on to and was not single sign-on when we were using it. 15Five allows for easy login with single sing on feature and has less "clicks" to get to where I need to be on the program. I also love the app way more than Yammer!

We moved from Globalization Partners (GP) to Deel because we needed an Employer of Record solution with a much more scalable pricing and service model. GP's platform is clunky - we often can't get the right access to what we need, employees have trouble finding what they need and it results in having to submit a support ticket. Deel is much more intuitive - it puts everything at employees' fingertips and makes things much more self-service. Permission profiles are easy to set up and manage, and we're able to access all of the data we need when we need it

• It holds each employee to a certain standard by having them select their own list
• Gives them the opportunity to reach their list of goals
• Being able to accomplish each set goal and/or priority gives a sense of pride in each person's work as they are able to check off what has been done
• On the negative, it can also show what the employee is not being done and may show poorly if there is a consistent pattern of not completing tasks

• Very positive, has saved me days of legal and admin work.
• Made us globally compliant and has allowed us to hire in all jurisdictions without having to worry about legal implications.
• Allows us to scale the company easily, hire from all over the world, and provide a fast and easy solution for payments.
• Contractors are also extremely happy with Deel as they receive the payment quickly, are [able] to submit expenses easily, and it's all automated.
