The review cycle setup is very well organized. The templates, peer feedback, and calibration tools help keep everything consistent and make the overall process smoother. The AI suggestions are also useful, helping managers write more balanced, thoughtful feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the first review cycle took a bit of planning and coordination. Once the templates were in place, the process became much smoother and easier to repeat for future reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about 15Five is its focus on continuous feedback and employee development. It makes performance management feel more human and actionable, and it helps teams stay aligned, engaged, and always improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While 15Five is very strong in engagement and feedback, some features can feel a bit complex at first and take time for teams to fully adopt. A more intuitive onboarding experience would make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the modern tech design of 15Five. It's innovative and continuously improving, which makes me trust it as a helpful tool, especially for small teams or even a team of one like mine. The tool streamlines manual processes which makes my job easier by automating tasks and keeping everything organized in one place. The DEI-driven approach also builds trust by showing a human-centric approach that caters to diverse needs, making it a solution for everyone. I also like the inclusive pricing for small organizations. It allows me to have a great tool within budget, unlike other competitors that cater more to bigger accounts, 15Five prioritizes all accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the customization features within the engagement survey lacking. I'm a big fan of the customization their comprehensive tool offers for comp reviews, but I wish the engagement and performance reviews offered the same level, if not more, like the other feature they offer. Similarly, throughout the platform there are limitations like in the Career Hub, 1-on-1s, Communications, Design, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the customization in questions within 15Five and the high-quality suggested questions they offer, which greatly enhances my experience. This feature is incredibly valuable as it allows our leadership team to rely on the well-made, pre-created content, thereby reducing the need to create custom content from scratch. The ability to leverage these questions streamlines our communication processes and supports employee engagement efforts, making it a significant time-saver. Additionally, I appreciate how easy the initial setup of 15Five was, which allowed us to integrate the software smoothly into our workflow without any major hiccups. Overall, these aspects contribute to a satisfying and effective user experience with 15Five. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it problematic that 15Five makes it too easy for employees to quickly submit their responses without providing much meaningful feedback. This lack of depth in responses can hinder the effectiveness of team building and growth initiatives. I believe that making the process of completing submissions more engaging could enhance user participation and the quality of insights gathered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that 15Five has expanded 1:1s beyond the manager/direct report dynamic. This fosters open, clear, and documented communication within teams. The platform stands out due to thoughtful details, such as full rich-text formatting (hyperlinks, headers, subheaders, bullet points, etc.) for note-taking. Organized, easily navigable notes are essential. Action items can be set, assigned, tracked, and have comments attached – a real asset. Integrating pulse checks and allowing kudos between team members is an easy morale booster. The reporting functions are also great once you've accumulated consistent data. Implementation and integration were straightforward for our technically adept team members, and our less computer-savvy employees were able to integrate the system over time.

The complex reporting and goal-setting features can be overwhelming for smaller teams, often exceeding their needs and leading to underutilization of the platform. A high-level package is required to fully leverage performance management features, further adding to underutilization and underuse. 15Five lacks subscription flexibility to accommodate diverse organizational needs and offers limited billing cycle options. As a Canadian customer, the lack of pricing in Canadian dollars makes the platform less justifiable. My experiences with customer support have been inconsistent, with agents providing conflicting information, so I wouldn't consider it a strength. Many of the challenges our team faced with 15Five features could be mitigated by adding more robust, engaging, and user-friendly training resources/courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it incredibly easy to create templates with 15Five, which significantly simplifies the process of setting up automatically recurring surveys and review cycles. This automation is highly beneficial as it reduces the manual effort required for such tasks and ensures consistency in the execution of engagement surveys and performance reviews. Additionally, I appreciate the level of customization available for templates, allowing me to tailor them specifically to my company's needs and objectives. This customization features enable me to align the surveys and reviews with our unique goals, making the entire process more effective and relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find some of the settings with the templates and cycles confusing, which can make using the software less intuitive. Additionally, I faced an issue where a download of all data wasn't working, prompting me to reach out to support for assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I truly appreciate how 15Five allowed me to implement a performance management platform that serves every department and individual in my company equally. The simplicity 15Five brings to performance management, which is usually a daunting task for HR professionals, is impressive. By distributing the workload evenly amongst the team, it takes a significant burden off HR. The platform's user-friendliness enables our staff to record their goals and participate actively in the review process effortlessly. One feature I particularly love is the High Five! option, which creates a positive experience by enabling us to acknowledge and appreciate each other's efforts and achievements. This feature is essential because it balances the usually negative feedback from managers and HR with positive reinforcement when things go right. The initial setup of 15Five was also easy, making the transition smooth and efficient. Overall, the platform ensures a fairer and more participative process compared to our previous 'home-made' biased paper performance rating sheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although 15Five is user-friendly for staff, it is not as user-friendly for those of us using it behind the scenes. I often have to contact our representative for tasks that should be simple, such as setting up questions or changing deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the user experience that 15Five offers. It is a visually appealing product that significantly aids in streamlining the process of managing notes, documentation, goals, and tracking between managers and employees. What stands out for me is the ability to easily reference notes with my direct leader and direct reports, which makes our one-on-one meetings more productive and ensures we stay aligned. These features are invaluable in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of our management and communication processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it frustrating that there doesn't seem to be an export function for engagement survey data and responses. This limitation prevents me from analyzing the data outside of 15Five as needed. Moreover, the knowledge base and training content, while extensive, is often outdated and doesn't align with the current user experience. This mismatch can make it challenging to fully utilize the platform's capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate 15Five for providing a centralized space that enables leadership to connect with employees globally, which is crucial for maintaining effective communication and collaboration in a distributed work environment. I enjoy the flexibility that 15Five offers in customizing performance reviews to suit the specific needs of different teams, enabling us to tailor our approach to performance management. This adaptability makes it easier to align the review process with our unique team dynamics. Additionally, I found the setup of 15Five to be quite user-friendly, as it was pretty easy to get started aside from some challenges with SFTP. This ease of setup minimizes the learning curve and allows for quick integration into our daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My customization doesn't always fall in my favor because then it is not compatible with the science 15Five follows. It would be great if the AI functions could combine these efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
