What do you like best about Rhythm?

The software helps the team focus on company priorities. It is useful for the team to have visibility of how work is progressing towards company goals and priorities. It also helps to make the team accountable for their actions that will contribute to the overall goals of the organization. Our team meets weekly to review and status our priorities which helps us stay on track each quarter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhythm?

At the outset, it is important that team members are trained to use the software since some features are not intuitive. There is a bit of a learning curve but Rhythm does provide training tools. You get what you put into the system. The team needs to commit to using Rhythm properly. The team has to be made accountable to enter their information on a regular basis in order to have data that is actionable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

At the company level, the Executive use Rhythm to plan strategy, objectives and follow through on completion. At the team/department level, the members use Rhythm to focus on completing tasks that align with the company strategy and objectives so that the entire company is aligned and working towards common goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Wishart of Rhythm

What do you dislike about Rhythm?

No points as of now. It took me a month to get used to Rhythm, but I love using it weekly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have different Teams working towards the same Department, based out of different geographies. It was difficult keeping track of all the projects various Team members were working on. This software helps us keep track of the overall departmental goals, and our individual goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rhythm?

First of all, the people we have worked with are all amazing and extremely supportive. As a team we read the book and our CEO decided to implement the software and strategy consulting. The software is great, very intuitive and easy to implement with our team. Team members can use the software on a daily basis to keep on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhythm?

It is easy to go down a rabbit hole. Therefore it is important to keep strategy and goals high level and build very specific tasks but not so many that you overwhelm yourself, taking focus of the bigger picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had a very loosy goosy long term strategy and goal. Rhythm helps us get focused and keep very organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rhythm?

Rhythm is a robust system that can fit the needs of a high-level year-over-year plan and a complex current project. I like that some of the flow incorporates individual communication on the team level. The week in sync gives each team member a chance to go over weekly progress. I also like the levels of each grouping of the projects, they make the projects easy to digest at a glance even when drilling into the daily tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhythm?

I don't have a lot of complaints, with Rhythm. I think there are a lot of features that would not get utilized if you don't have someone experienced to walk you through them all, but the learning curve isn't very steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently, Rhythm is being used to outline long-term and short-term goals for operations. We are also using it to outline operations objectives, projects and tasks to meet those goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Wishart of Rhythm

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, Gustave! We really appreciate your feedback, and I'm happy Rhythm is helping you execute strategic goals and projects.

What do you like best about Rhythm?

Easy visability of KPIs and priorities by department and owner, with weekly progress updates. Clear communication across various business units and levels to ensure everyone is involved in the businesses success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhythm?

The system is only as good as the team you have using it. If you do not hold teams accountable to ensuring they have measurable KPIs, clear priorities and goals, and will regularly measure and keep these updated in Rhythm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Communication and timely execution of strategic priorities are my company's main issues. Rhythm, if used correctly, would ensure these issues are monitored and known for when things are off track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Wishart of Rhythm

Thanks so much, Becky, for taking the time to leave a review! We really appreciate your feedback, and I'm glad to hear the visibility and communication across business units has been valuable for you!

What do you like best about Rhythm?

It is an extremely intuitive user interface, and very simple to hit the ground running on. But most importantly our Rhythm conultant is incredible and has reallly changed the game for our strategic planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhythm?

I think there are certain quirks that could be improved. The ability to score multiple weeks at the same time if you fall behind, or to score by clicking on the weekly circle would help reduce the number of clicks needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It puts our goals and strategies front and center and helps guide our leadership meetings and to adapt to our current realities in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Wishart of Rhythm

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing how Rhythm has become essential to your strategic planning! We're thrilled to hear you find the interface intuitive and that your Rhythm Consultant has made a meaningful impact. Your feedback about reducing clicks for scoring is valuable, and our product team will consider it as we plan future updates. We're excited to continue supporting your team to keep goals front and center and adapt in real-time!

What do you like best about Rhythm?

Rhythm is an app designed to help a team accomplish goals. It does a great job at allowing you to pick big projects (or any size projects really) and break them down into a schedule to accomplish them, and assign them out to team-members. It includes all expected corporate tenets such as KPI's, places for meetings, daily huddles, and litterally everything you can think of to keep a team organized and on task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhythm?

There's not a lot to say about it as it's such a niche product. While it serves it's mission well, I'm not sure that I would pay an extra amount to add this to my software list. While it far surpasses planning on spreadsheets and paper notebooks, I'm not sure there is enough meat on the bones to be a stand-alone product.

If you're seeking a product that will help you complete tasks through things like integrations, or automation, I don't believe these to be options with Rhythm. So, if you're a large company and already have project planning or similiar software, such as Jira or Hubspot, it's likely not a need to have Rhythm. But, if you don't have anything and your team needs an organized spot, it does what it does well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's a fancy notebook, so our tasks are going in there. They're also going into another platform that does the same things and more. It's not really benefitting us to have, but that's not to say it wouldn't benefit a company that doesn't have similiar but more robust offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Wishart of Rhythm

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your candid feedback; we appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience. I'm sorry to hear you're not finding more value from implementing Rhythm. We'd love to learn more so we can help; please contact your Success Manager or email us at help@rhythmsystems.com so we can find a way for the system to better meet your needs. Thanks!

What do you like best about Rhythm?

Visibility I can see across all levels of the business. Improves transparency. Week in sync (WIS) is great to keep focussed and the weekly and montly tracking of key priorities (again across business lines) is great. So easy to use, excellent performance and a great team supporting us at Rhythm systems! Thanks Allison! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhythm?

Nothing to really mention here about anything that we dislike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allowing us to stay focussed on all that matters and anyuthing that deviates away from that needs to be in Rhythm before we can proceed. It allows us to really focus on what things we want to deliver annually and quarterly that will have the biggest impact to the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any downsides to Rhythm, as they are constantly improving their tools and adding functunality. Their is a small learning curve like any other tool but once you learn and eastablish how it will be used it has been seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
