360 Degree Feedback vs. SurveyMonkey Engage

I can't imagine a scenario where it is less appropriate than any other 360 tool. It's easy to use, customizable, and inexpensive. Reports are easy to interpret. Great tool for anyone looking to implement a new 360.

This software is very well suited for situations where a group of individuals is being asked about their work experience, meeting, professional development, training, etc.. in any way while it is desired by the admin to alter the way content is delivered for better results to educators, etc… This software would be less appropriate in a setting where questions from only a few individuals are taken, making it easier to tell which person likely answered which survey.

Customer support and the cost of the product would be my number one reasons. Customer support is fantastic!

The system is easy to use, the Echospan support is fantastic and the cost is very competitive.

I've seen or used several of the other 360 tools. EchoSpan is better in nearly every way. It is more customizable. It can be administered completely by someone internally, so no need to request someone to set up a 360 - you can just do it yourself. Competency library is great, and you can create others if you want to. Reports are easy to interpret. Very good customer service

We were using a homegrown Google Doc that wasn't well worded and was not confidential. Although I appreciated the attempt from the former HR person to gather feedback, we needed a system that was more confidential and dedicated to gathering feedback in alignment with our corporate values. A Google Doc was not the right place for that.
