Likelihood to Recommend I'm honestly not sure why my company chose to use Small Improvements. We used
Lattice before for the all the same use cases I mentioned here. The employee performance review feature
might be a bit better in Small Improvements, but the goal-setting tool and the 1:1 tool are very weak. I may not have benefitted yet from all the features that Small Improvements have to offer, but so far it looks like a pretty basic HR tool with much better alternatives out there. If it's cheaper than the competition, that might be the only argument to go with it.

Read full review Pros Goal Tracking: Enables users to chart goals, track progress, and provide details about what they want/expect to achieve. Praise Wall: A public place to post positive and encouraging comments about other employees. 360 Reviews: Users can request and gain 1:1 feedback; this can be anonymous if desired. Read full review Easy to use - easy to create surveys, send to participants and review the results The library of ready to use templates is so helpful! The large variety of question types helps to keep the survey interesting for the participant. The "smart" question logic is amazing. I love having a follow up question appear depending on how the participant answers a previous question. Read full review Cons Being able to edit projects more easily (and have a documented edit history) would be beneficial. Possibly integrations with popular platforms (such as JIRA) to give expanded detail of project tracking. Gantt charts would be a nice to have for a top level management view. Read full review Providing users the ability to follow along a specific question example (eg. placeholder text in questions that users can see what the answer might look like) Better media management and implementation (eg. placing images/videos/gifs/etc. as standalone assets in the survey) Making the images added into a survey responsive to the screen they are being viewed on (eg. any images added to a survey do not adjust to the size of the screen, consequently showing up very small on mobile/tablet view) Exporting the survey to Word looks horrible - we'd love if the survey could be exported the way it looks when live into a similar-looking Word document or template Read full review Likelihood to Renew Will definitely use the software again as soon as we need another survey to be conducted.
Read full review Usability Everything on the platform is laid out logically and in a manner that even our less technical administrators can go onto the system and create/manage any surveys or feedback questionnaires. The options for distribution of these surveys are also simple and straight forward with all available choices showing. Our users don't need to know the ins and outs of the system to be able to use it.
Read full review Support Rating The customer support is quick and thorough, they have access to our account to answers are tailored to our needs. They also have a good knowledge base and self-help site with some video tutorials and FAQs which saved us time as opposed to just calling or emailing support. For the times that we did reach out, it only took one response to get our issue resolved.
Read full review I had an issue whereby I used a free trial that ended, locking me out of my account. I contacted their customer service to help with this issue, which they resolved in under half an hour. I was extremely impressed with their speed and quality of service, which led me to filling out this review!
Read full review Alternatives Considered Lattice was able to link in with core OKRs whereas from my memory, Small Improvements didn't support this goal setting and tracking framework. While it was good for sentiment and management frameworks, it was unable to connect with the greater company vision as well as
Lattice - that was the reason that we moved.
Read full review I evaluated several different products, including
SurveyMonkey . SoGoSurvey appeared to have the most features at the best value. Unfortunately, the "free" service didn't satisfy our needs and we had to upgrade during the first survey. I found
SurveyMonkey and SoGoSurvey to be very comparable.
Read full review Return on Investment Before we had Small Improvements, personal goal setting was completely disorganized. Some managers made sure it was done, likewise many did not. Having past goals collected in one repository has been a blessing. I couldn't imagine not having Small Improvements or something comparable. Read full review Cost. The software is very reasonably priced when judged against its functionality. The cost and risk of deploying paper surveys, coupled with the additional time it would take to input the data before analysis, means we have a lot less to worry about, have saved time and money. Data and reputation. Security of data is important to us. Using this software has enhanced our credibility with clients. We're serious about data security and this software shows that we are. Ethics and reputation. We are also serious about achieving the highest ethical standards in research, and nothing in this software impedes our ability to meet these standards. Speed. The online training, all of which has been 1-2-1, helped me get to grips with the software and deploy it quickly. The quality of training is very high indeed.
