    Reflektive
    Reflektive is well suited for medium to large organizations where cross-functional work is a regular occurrence. It isn't meant to be used for employee reviews, self-reviews, or take the place of a corporate communications platform; rather, it is meant to do one thing - serve as a public soapbox and repository for giving and receiving employee gratitude.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Visualizing the hierarchy and relationship between objectives and key results. The nesting and double alignment functionality are especially helpful, as they can't easily be expressed on, say, a simple worksheet or Confluence page.
    • Reminding the team to make regular check-ins. What gets measured gets done. This prevents the common pitfall of setting goals and not revisiting them until the end of a project (when it is too late).
    • Integration with external sources for automated check-ins. Why do this manually when it can happen behind the scenes?

    • In larger organizations, it is difficult to communicate and share news with everyone without sending all-agency emails. Reflektive lets you provide that feedback or recognition for everyone to see, but saves your inbox from unnecessary emails.
    • The weekly roundup email highlights a few of the most recent recognitions. It’s nice to see a brief highlight, without having to get notifications for each post.
    • Reflektive let’s you tag multiple people in a post, so you can thank a whole team in one post.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Accelerate integrations and add more integrations.
    • Ally.io has room for improvement in providing benchmark in-depth analysis across industries, same-size companies, etc.
    • Ally.io can still improve upon some of its product features and communicating the releases. Videos have been extremely helpful.

    • Reflektive often didn't do the best job informing users about the product changes we could expect to see.
    • Oftentimes, it was hard to know exactly who would see what in the system. We had to go to our customer service rep for a lot of questions that we wished were more thoroughly explained in the help center.

    Reflektive is great with support. From the beginning, when it comes to training materials for those new to Reflektive, to clearly rolling out updates in the interface or releasing new features, everything is very clear and communicated solidly. Support is always available when needed, and answers are easy to find when support is not available.

    Microsoft Viva comes with Teams. The Monday board is helpful too, but I just like Microsoft Viva better

    Reflektive
    Reflektive stacks up really well against its competitors because it's in all in one solution. It provides performance management tools, engagement surveys, and analytics. The majority of Reflektive's competitors only provide one of these features at most. Therefore Reflektive's competitors have to purchase multiple tools and HR teams have to use multiple tools for their employees. This creates more work not only for HR teams but for users as well.
