We use Echometer to run our retros at the end of each sprint. This involves collecting health checks as well as open ended feedback via survey, and then facilitating a discussion around these items, providing real-time feedback on prioritization, and assigning action items. We specifically love that Echometer provides tools for both identifiable and anonymous feedback collection, and that is seamlessly made available for a live discussion. We also love the voting system where people can indicate the biggest priorities at the end of the retro!
