Culture Amp vs. Quantum Workplace Engagement Surveys and Pulses

Culture Amp is a great tool for employee surveys, and has been able to scale with us for 5+ years. It's customizable and helps provide rich data on how employees are feeling so that we can continue to use that feedback to improving our company culture quarter over quarter.

This is well suited to give you a guideline of where your company is at and areas that can improve upon. This was our first year so I believe when we continue to use this it will show areas that we can still improve upon and areas that we have improved upon

• The Culture Amp support team is unparalleled. They offer live chat support as well as office hours that you can attend for help on anything from technical issues to the best way to phrase a survey question. They are always willing to help and are experts in their field.
• The report pages are very detailed and it's easy to view the data in a lot of different ways. This helps with more insightful analysis.
• I love that you can benchmark your survey results to your industry/region; it helps a lot to give context to your results.

• Quantum reporting was really easy to read and great for presenting to upper management.
• They also offered some great additional resources for an upcharge.
• This software is customizable to your organization, which is great.
• This software was very user-friendly for my employees completing the engagement survey.

• They recently launched a text analytics feature but I think it still needs some work. I don't find the attributes of sentiment to comments to make complete sense. Text analytics are also not yet available for export so it makes it very difficult to share with others in presentations and reports outside of the system.
• Currently they don't have the ability to set an automated file with and connect with an HRIS (at least not with Ultimate) so every time you want to refresh your users you have to upload a new file feed manually (which is pretty simple, it is just impossible to set the refresh on autopilot).

• I mentioned this to them after our last survey. The first year we did the survey the Quantum Workplace site provided us with detailed information on creating improvement plans, questions for employee focus groups and best practice information. While the site still provides information on creating an action plan, they removed the other information and haven't offered any new tips in the past two years. I would like to see them bring this back and update it each year so it is fresh and provides usable action items.

Everything that I had expected from the survey were delivered with a few more

The survey is very easy to use. Our Team Members were able to take the survey via their cell phones and had little to no trouble completing them in a reasonable period of time. Our folks in the office with computer access were all surprised at how easy and smooth the process to provide feedback went and how quickly they were able to work through each question.

The professionals at Quantum really take the time to understand you and your organization and I think this goes a long way in rolling the product out with little to no issues. Their Customer Service Team does an outstanding job of being available or getting back to you in a very short period of time. I do not recall EVER being frustrated because I had to wait to get a question answered or could not get a question answered within a reasonable period of time.

Very easy system to use. I also like how you can customize your survey to work on certain areas you feel are important at the time. They also provide you with a list of questions you can select from as well as implement any custom questions you feel would be beneficial

Culture Amp is the first such tool I have used. I find it to be very well rounded and useful, especially since culture is one of the trickiest parts of a business to get a hold of as related to the bottom line. The fact that followup on goals and feedback can be done thanks to the platform is a very strong point.

We selected Quantum Workplace for three primary reasons:

• Greater database of survey responses from more organizations and employees (strong benchmark universe)
• Automated tools to create department level executive summary presentations
• Prior experience with Quantum via Best Places to Work survey

And, finally, the pricing was very competitive, although not necessarily the lowest.

• We use culture amp to measure engagement levels surrounding certain "standard" questions we ask on a recurring basis. this gives us a viable way to measure how we are doing overall in certain areas that are important to us.
• The Diversity survey helped us pinpoint some areas were we could work on improving. This came out in comments from several users.
• We have to keep in mind that comments are important, but sometimes it is just one person who is upset about one thing that does not affect anyone else. We must keep that in mind and set those aside. It is easy to get caught up in some of those comments.

• Much better turn-around on reporting which has led to us being able to begin follow-up steps with our employees MUCH quicker.
• Improved results analysis allowing managers to better target their efforts.
• Reporting that is consistent with our marketing brand standards so that it doesn't feel too "off the shelf".
