Teamspective also provide other consulting services to help users make the most of survey results as well as to develop the organization and feedback culture.
Having interacted with a new replacement tool, Microsoft Teams, it is challenging to recommend Skype, as it lacks some essential features, such as being less equipped with the latest updates, and it is not platform-independent, causing issues on PCs and phones, as well as during calls that might hinder work.
A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. TR verified that a representative sample of customers was invited. More Info
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.
The instant chat function is great. Very straightforward, easy to use, easy to learn, no technical issues.
Video calls are pretty easy also, user friendly and a mostly stable connection with no issues.
Voice calls are easy also, eliminates the need for an external landline or the need to use your cell phone. Clear connections, not really any dropped calls.

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

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
Skype is not as good as Facetime in terms of ease to glance at it and figure out how it works. I think that's a result of Skype trying to be too many things at once. A lot of the menu and UI could be streamlined, and I would jettison some of the additional functions that have been tacked on over the years to simplify. That being said, while some options are slightly hard to find, they all work flawlessly once found.

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.
I am not aware of the current support level for Skype for business, as I have never used even though I have the product. However, the support for Skype's personal paid users is not where it could be. Users who pay for Skype features do not have a clear path to reach out to support. So, rating 6, can be better as soon as I need to use Skype for business support and get a good experience. I will say that I will renew Skype for Business subscription, which is a significant inconsistency on my end. The explanation is that Skype for Business comes bundled with Office for Business, with no additional cost, so why not.

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.

We use Skype in combination with Grasshopper. While Grasshopper acts as a routing toll free number with extensions, if we are making calls directly, we do it through Skype. Skype's desktop and mobile apps are easier to use, and provide unlimited local calls at a flat, affordable rate. Allowing our team to use their existing mobile or desktop devices without additional hardware for business office phone calls is important, and Skype makes that possible

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.
