Peoplebox is an OKR, employee engagement, and performance management platform that helps HR & Strategy leaders like the Chief of Staff drive business results and build high-performing teams. Peoplebox enables team leaders to personalized talking points, collaborate on agenda and notes, record Meeting Notes, make it action-oriented, set Reminders, organize ideas, provide calendar Integration and 1: 1 culture tracking.
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.
Peoplebox is well suited to assign goals and track outcomes when the teams are aligned well internally and the goals are well defined with quantitative outcomes. It has limitations when it comes to integrating Peoplebox with internal toolkits and collaboration tools like Asana, Slack, and others. However, it works well with Google sheets.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
Although both tasks allow monitoring team members' task progress and activity reporting, they are a bit different. It's hard to comp [are these two tools, although People soft was much easier for me to use (more intuitive) while I was a team member of a small team.
