Small Improvements
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.

Tremendous
Tremendous is well suited for businesses giving gift cards to employees as a reward or to research participants as thanks/compensation for their time. It's not like a cash sharing software between friends. It is also best for relatively small amounts of money because the sender runs the risk of sending the reward to the wrong email

  • Unredeemed rewards kind of go into a void, we cannot get funds back for unclaimed rewards

Small Improvements
I never had to contact their support so far. There's no "N/A" option so I'm going with a neutral "5".

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.

Tremendous allowed us for more customization to the email and landing page, Rybbon had their own branding on the email and page which was something we did not want. One of the main selling points for us with Tremendous was the ability to use our own firm's email domain. This allowed us to send an email coming from our firm, so our clients and prospects recognized the domain.

Return on Investment
Small Improvements
  • It helped keep my goals on track, both in documentation and email updates.
  • It helped free up my manager's bandwidth to focus on other tasks.

  • The fact that it's free to use means Tremendous has had a very positive ROI on our research operations. We've gained much and lost nothing.
