What do you dislike about CoffeePals?

The CoffeePals bot notifications asking if you met with your match. This is a downside as there are a lot of notifications sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeePals?

You'll need to find the right rhythm so that staff don't feel like they're being made to participate in "forced fun." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoffeePals solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a weekly random team pairing for team members to spend time getting to know members of teams other than themselves because we are remote. Previously, I was taking the attendance, communicating matches, and confirming that they actually met, but the tool does all of that for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about CoffeePals?

Encourages employees to get to know each other outside of pure work interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeePals?

There's nothing I dislike about the CoffeePals software itself -- it is very well designed and easy to use. Sometimes I'm just too busy to want to have a coffee chat, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoffeePals solving and how is that benefiting you?

With remote and hybrid work, it can be easy for employees to never get to know each other outside of web meetings. CoffeePals definitely helps me get to know people I might otherwise only say hi to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoffeePals?

Coffeepals has really improved cross-team communication by pairing colleagues weekly for casual coffee meetups. It's been a great way to get employees to engage who wouldn't typically interact. The automated matching system streamlines the process, removing any admin work. It was easy to set up with Microsoft Teams and questions I had were promptly answered by the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeePals?

The fixed weekly match frequency in the free plan feels too often for our small team. Having the option to adjust this feature without requiring an upgrade would be beneficial. The team have also found that they receive a lot of notifications, again the ability to change this in the free plan would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoffeePals solving and how is that benefiting you?

This tool is perfect for creating connections among colleagues who might not often engage helping to foster a more cohesive work environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoffeePals?

We are using CoffeePals (free version) to enhance connection in one of our newly set up Diversity groups at work. This tool is easy to use as it's part of the Microsoft Teams platform. It provides a good nudge to set up times to meet different people every month. It also sends helpful reminders and talking points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeePals?

The one downside is there is no option to change frequency of matches with the free version eg the free version offers a weekly match but you have to pay if you want to decrease the frequency. This may discourage new users from trialling the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoffeePals solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing better connection within the group which will ultimately lead to higher collaboration and effectiveness as a group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoffeePals?

Easily automated our process of matching employees to improve the sense of team and engagement. I like the additional weekly question/icebreakers that are posted to bring further engagement. Easy to interact with the app/bot directly for individual enabling/disabling and adding to specific teams/channels. The reporting on matches and their outcomes is great insight as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeePals?

Users that don't want as many notifications from the Coffee Maker (and subsequent responses) end up blocking the app which limits their participation in other functions such as matching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoffeePals solving and how is that benefiting you?

Improving the engagement of remote employees, supporting camaraderie and sense of team through our org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoffeePals?

Coffee Pals has been a great addition to our onboarding and employee engagement strategy. With our staff being spread out across multiple countries, and with increasing use of remote workforce, connection has been challenging. Coffee Pals has allowed us to integrate new hires and connect people who normally would not have the opportunity to meet. I really enjoy the ease of meeting scheduling and the fun conversation prompts in the group. It was so easy to set up and the support team has been so responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeePals?

There are some really neat features not included in the free version. However, we have been using the free version for quite a few months and are having a blast with it. Plan to update in the new year so we can have all the customized options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoffeePals solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping connect people who otherwise would not meet. It is like having a virtual water cooler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoffeePals?

CoffeePals allows our team to engage with one another and since most of our team works remotely and we have several departments within our organization, we were glad to find a way for team members to connect in a meaningful way with those outside their department. We appreciate that the CoffeePals platform automatically matches team members together, so it’s fairly hands off for the admins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeePals?
