15Five vs Reflektive

• Goals/To-do lists: 15Five is a great tool for creating to do lists or establishing goals for the week. Employees can add them easily, and check them off when completed. For me, this has provided a helpful visual of what needs to be accomplished that week.
• It's easy to send information out to anyone in the organization - tagging individuals or @all is an easy way to share information within the platform. Our president is a big fan of 15Five, and she has utilized it as a way to disseminate information throughout our organization. Information can be uploaded in an easy-to-read, easy-to-access manner.
• Reminders - it's easy to set up reminders within the program, to ensure employees are completing their portion. As an employee, the reminders are helpful in encouraging completion.
• Customizable questions - direct supports/supervisors can set up different questions to be asked of employees from week to week. This is helpful if there are questions that are needed to be asked weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Being able to change questions regularly is great.

• Simple & Easy to Use: Reflektive uses a streamlined UI that is solely focused on giving and showing employee gratitude.
• Alerts: The tool emails you to let you know when someone has thanked you.
• Integration: You can use the Reflektive web portal or use the Gmail integration which enables users to leave feedback without navigating to a separate site.

• Although I mentioned customization as a positive aspect, it could use some improvements. The backend process of updating the questions, and setting them to a certain schedule, can be a bit confusing. This process could be streamlined.
• The commenting process can be a bit confusing. If a person is tagged/mentioned in a comment, they are typically sent an email notifying them. However, it can be difficult to locate where you can reply and continue the conversation. Although a simple issue, it seems it could be easily rectified.
• I would like to see more integration of the team portion of 15Five. It seems this feature is not as prominent, so you can easily get stuck in just your specific 15Five information.

• Native GIF integration: It would be great if the tool had a GIF selector when giving or responding to gratitude
• On the sidebar, it would help to have a custom list linked to employees which enable users to quickly give gratitude to employees that work with the most closely.
• Allow profile pictures to be pulled directly from Google or Facebook.
