Overall Satisfaction with 15Five

The engineering department uses 15Five to keep track of 1-on-1s and do weekly check ins. It has really me keep track of my conversation topics in one on ones, and when I see things consistently coming up I know it's important to me. The weekly check in functionality is also great because it gives your team an outlet to express their feedback in a more indirect way. Often answers to the seemingly innocuous questions will give you and your manager something interesting to talk about in your next one on one, or might give shy employees a different outlet for delivering feedback on how the company is doing in certain areas.
  • Quick, responsive, and minimalistic UI.
  • Great outlet for receiving indirect feedback from employees that you can follow up on.
  • User engagement can sometimes be inconsistent amongst teams and could benefit from a more involved customer success experience.
  • Centralized location to keep track of one-on-one and manager/IC interaction notes.
  • Useful for weekly check-ins for ICs and managers, especially quiet employees that aren't as likely to speak up about something in person or in the moment.
There are always new features and few bugs. From a SASS perspective it's a very solid tool that needs very little hand-holding.

Do you think 15Five delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with 15Five's feature set?

Yes

Did 15Five live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of 15Five go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy 15Five again?

Yes

I think 15Five is great for a small to medium-sized organization, or even department to implement for more visibility into the health of your employees' mental state. Not only does it allow people to voice opinions in an alternative way, but it promotes giving shout outs which creates an atmosphere of positivity and encourages people to lift each other up. It feels good when you receive the High Five email because someone gave you a shout out! We have struggled to get all of our employees to use it, however, which is something to watch out for.
