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 Apptio Targetprocess is well suited to track work and progress of that work. In addition it is easy to tie that work to OKRs. Cost and hours rollup across the work hierarchy works well. Our users like the flexibility of Targetprocess and the ability to develop their own views and reports Scenarios where it is less appropriate is to do executive level reporting and develop reports that can pull in all of our time data since there is a 300k record limit
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 Extremely flexible: We are able to setup work for different groups in ways that work best for them. Fantastic support group: They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoy working with them. Automation: Their automation capabilities have saved us a lot of time. Customizing screens: We can go into code for the different entities, move fields around or hide them, add tabs or additional sections as needed to make for a streamlined user experience. Reporting: Their reporting is flexible and phenomenal. There are so many different ways to pull data and the interface is easy to use. Their user guide is well built and extremely helpful. 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 Every feature in this amazing application is of unique importance and also quite friendly in nature that doesn’t consume a lot of time and energy as well. For me, there is nothing to take care of in this specific application only sometimes it shows errors while updating but that’s not a big deal. 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 Targetprocess is the most flexible application for tracking work among teams that we have found. This power comes from near limitless ability to customize your views on the work tracked in the system, and from the myriad reporting options to draw metrics and stats out of the data there. Custom fields, processes, and mashups all add to this flexibility and appeal.
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 The UI is intuitive and consistent. The complexity of the app means there is a steep learning curve though, but it is well worth putting in the effort to get the most out of the tool. We have some team members who are learning new ways of doing things after 1-2 years of working in Targetprocess.
Read full review Reliability and Availability Some minor outages are experienced, though these tend to pass within an hour usually and work can continue
Read full review Performance Reports are fast loading, considering they can refresh in a second or less and we have 7 years of work tracked in over 40k entities. Pages can load slowly when the views are very busy, but not frustratingly. I am a console user most of my career and generally prefer it over webUI interfaces, but Targetprocess won me over from the beginning and I spend half my day using it now.
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 TargetProcess' support is one of its strengths. The support team is very responsive and helpful when there is a problem but they're also proactive in providing good release notes and engaging with the community through a voting scheme to influence the priority of new features.
The team also releases new versions frequently with new features but with no knock-ons to currently working features.
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 You should take some time to get everyone to agree how the system should be setup before work starts being tracked in Targetprocess, this avoids difficult and disruptive changes to processes or plugins later when everyone relies on it daily.
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 Apptio Targetprocess outshone the competition on several benchmarks. The most important for our team was ease of administration, ease of configuration, cost of licenses, and ability to leverage the tool in multiple areas (not just project management or engineering). Apptio Targetprocess ranked top in each category, with anonymous scoring from members across the selection team.
Read full review Scalability We use the hosted version of Targetprocess and have never run into limitations or degraded performance due to scalability. Excellent performance over 7 years!
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 Lower administrative burden on product teams. The "team" nature of resource manager saves a significant amount of admin time for our Product teams when managing resources and their alignment Lean processes for labor management. Simplifying time entry to very few tasks, and enabling time entry at a team level streamlines the representation of work and cuts back on wasted time churning through admin activities Read full review ScreenShots Apptio Targetprocess Screenshots
