A solution to improve engagement and performance with recommended actions and data-driven insights across employee lifecycle and organization-wide surveys. Glint was acquired by LinkedIn in October 2018, and is now Microsoft Viva Glint, an app that is available standalone or as part of Microsoft's Viva Suite of employee engagement applications.
I think Echometer is perfect for anyone who wants to bring better structure, accountability, and historical tracking to their retros. Anyone who wants to convert feedback into action items and track progress between retros will be particularly suited for Echometer. This is also a great tool for someone trying to figure out how to run retros, as it provides structures and lots of presets to try out!
Glint is a really user friendly and visually appealing platform for survey recipients. They also have a great support team, who are helpful in answering our questions. Areas where Glint can improve is more on the admin side. If you only need to run your surveys a few times a year (which is what we do with our 360 & employee engagement surveys), it’s not going to be bad at all. For our exit interview process, we run them for every leaver and are running into difficulties with how to streamline how to upload the data in an efficient and non-time consuming way. I also think data reporting can be better & more user friendly.
It took just one retro to explore the UI and figure out what features and functionality are available, and to understand how to run retros in the platform! I always prefer to try something out in order to learn it, and this platform was easy to understand. The survey collection is especially intuitive and easy to follow, and makes it as easy as possible to collect team feedback!
INCREDIBLY easy for the end-user. The only questions we had were around confidentiality/anonymity. We tried to further address these with other surveys by calling out and explaining how Glint worked. As an admin, it is also quite simple and easy to find answers when you don't have them.
The technical support has been on point from implementation through to when we were running on our own with our surveys. It's great to have People Science support but we did find that oftentimes we knew our organization better and should be speaking to leadership about these results instead of PS. It was great to throw lines out to them for trends, especially when it came to Covid, Return to Office, and Diversity.
Figma provided us with a basic whiteboard to collect team feedback asynchronously and all in one place, but we specifically wanted to be able to collect anonymous feedback and also collect feedback via surveys prior to our Retros. Echometer provided both of those functionalities, while still giving us the collaborative structure we needed around our review time!
The only comparable product I've used is Rypple, which I'm not sure still exists. Glint is a superior product in pretty much every way I can remember, from the employee survey experience to the output reports.
