I have also recommended Teamspective many times! I think it's the best choice for a modern organisation who wants to support its people to take responsibility for their learning & development and not just passively wait for managers to do that. Teamspective integrates very well with Slack, so I recommend it to everyone who wants to have the feedback tool as a part of their other tools that are already used daily by the employees.

• AI Copilot
• Task reminder
• Calendar event reminders
• Helps me make more efficient and quicker social media post pushes that we do weekly

Incentivized

• Easy of use
• In-depth analytics based not only on direct question to answer, but the broad analytics database in background that links the questions to scientifically studied relations to broader analytics. As an example the importance of feedback and its correlation to motivation and wellbeing
• Ease of implementation
• Constant development of the tool in collaboration with other customers and Teamspective
• Customer support and customer relationship management by the whole Teamspective team from Founders to developers

• 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.

• Performance evaluation feature that would match perfectly with project-based organisation needs (I think all feedback tools should improve in this!)

tool has been shown to be exactly what we have wished for and the constant collaboration and development together with Teamspective and other customer community supports that we should and we are continuing the collaboration with them in the future as well

Teamspecitve does not need heavy support organisation and tool it self is very self guiding. We have only 2 main administrators for the tool and the need from these perosons is very minimal. Tool provides easy to use interface and one glance reports from team to company level in one page. Our survey reponse rates in whole company levels are constantly around 85-90%, so it gives good analytics on the current status in multiple areas.

Teamspective answers quickly and really puts an effort to fix a problem. There have been several requests for the product to support our use cases that Teamspective has made true.

Involve key users from day one as in any implementation project. Describe the need, benefit and use cases for easier implementation. Communicate actively

Ally was preferred over the alternatives due to the following:

• Quick turnaround by reps
• Detailed product demo
• Ease of use in comparison other tools
• Clarity in terms of how Ally.io could resolve Crayon's existing issues

We did a wide comparison and ended up using Teamspective as we felt that they are offering exactly those features we needed but nothing "extra," meaning we only pay for the things we need. Also, Teamspective seemed simple enough, and on the other hand, we appreciated their strong investments in developing the product based on customer feedback. The biggest differentiator to the average feedback tools is that Teamspective is not manager-led, so employees will become masters of their own development.

• AI co-pilot makes it easier to be more direct and less "wordy"
• Teams is a great program and I like how it's seamless and more advanced when you want to convert a file type.
• Tasks section is great way to keep track of lists that I constantly forget. Now I just use my computer to keep track of my "to-do list"

Incentivized

• Teamspective has helped in building our feedback culture, which is often mentioned by our employees as one of the positive things in the company.
• Teamspective helps our people give professional-level feedback independently, effectively, and respectfully. Feedback skills are important for any professional today.
