Firstup is a well-suited solution for companies that would like to spread brand awareness and get employees to be their number one ambassadors. Employees like to share/brag about the company they work for so why not use them as a driving force in spreading brand awareness!

Qualtrics Employee Experience is great for annual reviews as well as weekly meetings, performance checks, quarterly events, and being able to edit and view results quickly. You can also build out reports to show everyone. I love the platform. It is nice knowing you also have 24/7 support. I highly recommend it for all events.

Cons
Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)
  • We'd love to see a calendar added that would show key upcoming dates.
  • It would be awesome if the Message feature had a drop-down directory you could scroll through vs. requiring you to type a few letters before the potential names came up.

I can't really answer this as the platform was already in place when I took my current role.

Qualtrics
Have used a range of bespoke and off-the-shelf employee experience products - however, they have all lacked the ability to integrate in real-time with experience data from other disciplines like a customer, product, and brand experience work. The other systems were very siloed in their approach and did not provide the right level of self-managed and provider managed control.

Return on Investment
Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)
  • We look at the earned media revenue tool that Firstup has, and we have earned media of over $4000 most months. Amazing!
  • We have been recognized by peers, clients, and partner agents who say they always see our Hilldrup news pop up on social media!
