Chose 15Five
You can track developer's task from HR perspective, than means, as manager you don't want to have the technical description around what the developer is doing, just to have a brief visualization of the current work. With it you can follow how your resources are felling with …
Chose 15Five
Lattice is definitely better for larger companies and those who have previous use cases with a performance management system. 15Five is great for companies that are just starting out.
Chose 15Five
15Five was more customizable and fit our under 50 employee team better for what we needed - a system for manager/employee one on ones, company wide as well as individual goal setting, performance reviews, reminders, and recognition (high fives). It was convenient and easier to …
Chose 15Five
No other experience with this type of tracking.
Chose 15Five
15Five offered our sales team more robust reporting and ease of use for navigating the dashboard features.
Chose 15Five
Visually 15Five blows Yammer out of the water! Yammer was easy to use as well, but it felt very difficult to get on to and was not single sign-on when we were using it. 15Five allows for easy login with single sing on feature and has less "clicks" to get to where I need to be …
Chose 15Five
15Five is much more user friendly than the Workday goal setting and check in capabilities. 15Five is more real-time and allows users goals to be more fluid and agile when business objectives change. 15Five also has much more functionality in terms of goal settings, weekly check …
Chose 15Five
I have worked in Fortune leading companies, small start ups and leading healthcare organizations of every size and stature over the last 30 years. Never have I had a program I loved and looked forward to each week like 15Five. There is no comparison!
Chose 15Five
We use each platform differently. We use Asana to make long-term and short-term priorities and assign each team member to specific tasks. Each task has different due dates spread out over a period of time. We use 15Five for individual weekly objectives and as a tool to check-in …
Chose 15Five
I've used both lattice & 15Five. They both have their pros and cons but ultimately I feel that 15Five is more user-friendly and easier to understand for my employees.
Chose 15Five
I haven't seen anything that offers what 15Five offers. We've been using it since they were very young and haven't considered switching. Why would we?
Chose 15Five
I only have experience with 15Five in this capacity, and it was amazing. I really miss using this tool and I hope that we will have an option to get it back in our future; especially now that we have expanded and grown our number of staff that works on this project.
Chose 15Five
Asana is geared toward project and task management with communication features while 15Five is geared toward team health down to the individual level.
Chose 15Five
I've used asana and jira. Jira has too much functionality for a team like ours and asana didn't have enough gamification for our team. At the end we chose 15Five because it was simple to use and easy to follow, it also allowed the manager to review each individual on the team …
Chose 15Five
I have never encountered another service or product that provides the same level of insight that 15Five affords, coupled with such a fluid and user-friendly experience. From the lowest-level employee all the way up the corporate ladder, there is a lot of value to be gained from …
Chose 15Five
15Five has been more comprehensive and covers all facets of our business. Facebook Workplace served as more of an overall collaborative business tool with opportunities to post quotes and articles to share.
Chose 15Five
bananaTag now has the built-in capabilities to include employee pulse surveys, which I love. 15Five is a little more direct as our manager required us to fill out the internal feedback section weekly.
Chose 15Five
Specialized in performance management, easier to roll out and use than other products, the service, and people at 15Five are top-notch. The ease of doing business with 15Five is high.
Chose 15Five
I haven't, as I was not a decision-maker in the purchasing. I've used others in the past, but frankly, can't remember their names!
Chose 15Five
15Five has been a much better solution for our team. The feature suite is much broader and we found that Khorus at the time had a very subjective approach to measuring Objectives and Key Results. 15Five does so much more with one-on-ones, employee health, and performance …

My previous employer used to reward employees by providing payback points but it was not very useful at all. I had a lot of points but on redemption they had little or no value. Also we could use it for a very limited products and services.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
I believe if your managers can't make time to have in-person or live check-ins with their employees, the 15Five surveys and tools can create a semblance of care and follow-up, but many employees resent how impersonal it is. If you are able to have more face-to-face interactions or Zoom one-on-ones, those are almost always better-received by employees.

I think Vantage Circle is a great idea and would recommend all the organizations to use it to motivate and reward their employees. As of now I don't see any scenario which is less appropriate. This initiative definitely works well for larger companies and gives good flexibility to the managers to reward their teams.

Pros
  • The Pulse Check feature is both easy to use and allows staff and management to gauge how team health is.
  • The metric and key performance tools are very well designed.
  • Automated reminders and reporting are great features.
  • I find the customer services to be best in class.

  • It offers redemption Vouchers for most of the merchants like Amazon, flipkart etc.
  • It offers discounts for redirected sites and also provide additional discount on these sites.
  • It provides cashback vantage points on the purchase made using redirection on lot of merchant sites.

Cons
  • The more business units and teams you adopt consistently using 15five, the more you see the full value.
  • Reporting - it would be helpful to see an entire org chart breakdown of the goals hit/missed at the end of each quarter.
  • Recommendations - focus points/alerts on OKRs that aren't progressing and auto-generated action items you should take would be really useful functionality.

  • The reward gift card amounts are hardcoded- like 250, 150, etc. There should be an option to self-enter values.
  • More tie-ups with Corporates like Toastmasters International, Corporate Diva, etc for personality development and leadership initiatives.
  • Healthify, Cult, Art of Living, etc. can have tie-ups with Vantage Circle for promoting Employee Wellness as well as good habits. Vantage Circle can serve as a channel for promoting these sites as they are much needed by employees these days.
  • I think we need more tie-ups with schools & pre-schools.
  • Tie-ups with Petrol stations and Investment platforms will also benefit employees.

This program is the absolute best I've ever used in 30 years with organizations. Not only do I enjoy being a user and "filling it out" every week- but I would personally buy it if available for goal tracking in my personal life I love it that much!

Vantage circle definitely a good choice agianst other stacks up as it offers many online shopping apps and it covered most of deals. Redeemption of the rewards is straight forward and easy to claim.

Usability
The platform is too easy for use, you will find by hand all the main tools and the interface put in front of you what you need without enter to define or open complex options to add things.
No, you just need to open a new report and start to type things, the system automatically will start to add fields or show the desired options based on your current context.

Support Rating
15Five support is quick and helpful. We work with other vendors in the people management space and performance tracking/management who offshore their support or force us into long queues to chat for support and it just doesn't support our needs very well. 15Five is responsive and speedy. We constantly evaluate our vendors for their support and have switched vendors in the past in other areas because of limited support capabilities

I have not used any other products with redemption. Vantage Circle is the only one I used so far & this could be recommended to my peers & friends due to the wide range of options it offers, flexibility & 100 + options to choose from. Also, this is very user friendly & the helpdesk team is also very prompt in response & resolution if any issue arises.

I have never came across a scenario when the Vantage Circle was down or inaccessible and I was not able to redeem the vantage points. The platform is always available and the redemption process is very fast. Never faced the issue with the delay in the redemption of Vantage points.

Return on Investment
  • It holds each employee to a certain standard by having them select their own list
  • Gives them the opportunity to reach their list of goals
  • Being able to accomplish each set goal and/or priority gives a sense of pride in each person's work as they are able to check off what has been done
  • On the negative, it can also show what the employee is not being done and may show poorly if there is a consistent pattern of not completing tasks
