Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) vs. SurveyMonkey Engage

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!

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.

• Intuitive, easy-to-use templates for posts, newsletters and email notifications.
• Consistent upgrades and innovation that keeps the tool current with other apps.
• Flexibility on how users can use the tool (i.e. comments, sharing photos, etc.) This decision is left to each organization, individually.

• Providing employees an opportunity to self-reflect
• Providing employees an opportunity to provide interactive feedback, ask questions, and provide details anonymously
• Organizational transparency--we can identify where we are and how we feel
• Departmental remediation--we can identify opportunities when we have a low score in a department

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

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.
