Overall Satisfaction with 15Five

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use 15Five company wide for goal setting and measurement, one-on-ones, performance reviews, and recognition.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High Fives - this is an easy way to integrate with Slack to recognize teammates quickly, and allows calling out core values as well
Performance Management is fully customizable, you can set up an individual or company wide review cycle, customize questions and rating systems, timeframes, and reviewers
Goal Setting is simplified, trackable and can be customized to team or individual
One on Ones are super useful and easy for employee as well as manager to use

Cons

The type is small, and when displaying Company wide OKRs it is a bit busy and hard to see in a company wide zoom and back to team or individual
We'd like to have the ability to customize a bit more i.e. change OKRs to simply "Goals" to keep things simpler at our small size.
We would like the ability to set up a dedicated 30/60/90 day goal cycle or a customized 90 day onboarding achievement cycle
We would like to be able to customize Check Ins for example the "How did You Feel At Work This Week" and rating we'd like to customize that banner

Return on Investment

With implementing 15Five we have moved from zero usage of core values, to implementation and usage of our core values which we can now incorporate into high fives, performance reviews and also outside of 15Five, in our hiring process.

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 have all these functionalities in one tool. Integration with Slack was also key to keep it visible to our team day to day.

Likelihood to Recommend

We love the ability to recognize peers and align the High Fives with core values (and having it integrate with Slack creates visibility which encourages use of the feature) The Performance Review features are quite customizable and do most of what we'd like. The goal setting function is robust, however I wish that area was a bit less complicated as we'd like to be able to zoom out for company milestones, it just looks busy. In terms of managing an employee's lifecycle from hire on past their 30/60/90 day goals, that piece is customizable however I'd love it if check-ins were completely custom.
