Likelihood to Recommend I believe if your managers can't make time to have in-person or live check-ins with their employees, the 15Five surveys and tools can create a semblance of care and follow-up, but many employees resent how impersonal it is. If you are able to have more face-to-face interactions or Zoom one-on-ones, those are almost always better-received by employees.
Read full review Perdoo would be a great tool for companies that have been through a couple of OKR cycles and have developed a somewhat mature process. It then becomes a very helpful platform to streamline all steps, from design, review, up to post-mortem. It's also a great tool for companies who want to focus on the OKR process, but are not too interested in mixing it up with other frameworks, and other features, like performance reviews, etc. For us, this focus on the core of OKR is a big plus, as it drives simplicity and makes adoption easier.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review OKR roadmap: I like how clearly this lays out the connections between the different levels of OKRs (team, company, long term etc) OKR Webinar: they have a great OKR 101 type webinar that we made all our leaders go through, even those who had worked with OKRs before, to ensure that we were all on the same page. Perdoo is very intentional and thoughtful about the terms they use. Initiatives: I really like that Perdoo goes down to the initial level, not just OKR. Initiatives are the projects/tasks that roll up under each KR to actually get to the result. slack updates: I like seeing the notifications come through when colleagues update something in Perdoo. fun to see progress! Read full review Cons The more business units and teams you adopt consistently using 15five, the more you see the full value. Reporting - it would be helpful to see an entire org chart breakdown of the goals hit/missed at the end of each quarter. Recommendations - focus points/alerts on OKRs that aren't progressing and auto-generated action items you should take would be really useful functionality. Read full review The existing mobile apps are not very usable Sometimes new features are added while the old features have technical issues Speed of support could be better Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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!
Read full review Usability 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!
Read full review Support Rating 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
Read full review Online Training 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating It was very easy and support was super helpful!
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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!
Read full review I've used
Lattice and I liked their OKR UI a lot, it was simple and easy to use but (at least when I used it) lacked some of the functionality that we found in Perdoo. My team got a bit frustrated with
Lattice Ally was robust and had a lot of good features, we just ended up going with Perdoo because they were comparable and we loved the OKR webinar.
Read full review Return on Investment 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 Read full review Perdoo has helped us solidify our OKR process It helps ensure our goals are well structured and aligned It made the review much easier Read full review ScreenShots
