What do you like best about Whale?

I like the simple UI. Very easy to get started with the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

Aesthetically, the app icons don't really help me know what each icon corresponds to. The icons are vague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whale?

Whale is extremely easy to implement through the Board/Playbook/Card system.

We see limitations with the layout as an advantage to focus on content quality.

I also appreciate the on-the-job training permitted by linking training cards to specific web pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

Whale could use an embedded Quiz option to confirm each training has been efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Whale:

have your backbone ready before implementation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving the issue of onboarding/training our employees over time. By centralizing all training materials, we allow experts to refer to a single place to find all kinds of resources.

We are helping our coaches train new employees more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whale?

User interface. This is probably one of the best-looking process and training tools out there in terms of simplicity and designability. Most recent updates enable the users to craft a custom-looking site that fits into the company brand. Other tools have this ability, but in my experience, Whale brings a whole level of ease of interaction and looks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

We have received feedback from our clients using whale that it may take a second to sync across all platforms, this may be due to our client's own internet speed, or it may be on the backend for Whale. Our team did not have that issue, it may have been a one-off situation.

There are some features that would greatly help our clients and us that whale does not currently offer. But every business will have its own specialized use for the platform, and it is understandable that Whale may not provide everything we need. They are working on updates every week, which is a good sign because they are constantly pushing out new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Whale:

This tool is great for SOP or training. The platform interface is very friendly, and anybody can quickly navigate through it. The real value comes in the plug-in, something that I have not seen other software include. The plug-in helps people quickly find the information relevant to the website they are on, which reduces the time the team has to spend searching for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using a new technology app or tool is very intimidating for people, especially those who are less proficient in this domain. When we looked at software and decided on Whale, the key features were accessible of use and design. Anybody without a coding background or degree can figure out how to get the most basic use out of Whale. Our clients are very wary of new technology, and not using the software they are paying for is perhaps the worst offender. However, they seem to get along very well with Whale and did not have any complaints about the platform. They have all praised Whale for how easy it is to use.

What do you like best about Whale?

It tackles the problem of inter-departmental silos and aids in sharing information across different roles and different departments. Information that is readily available for one department but sometimes difficult to obtain yet extremely valuable for another department. Aside from that, it enriches the toolset that's already present in our organization and integrates well with our document sharing solutions, so we don't need to "rip and replace" but can use whale as a catalyst to get more value out of our other tools (i.e., google drive, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

We would like to see more integrations become available. However, the whale guys are very readily available for feedback, and I feel this issue is being resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

So the problem we had is that a lot of time - work hours/billable hours - was being wasted chasing internal information that an outside client would assume is known by everyone in the company. Whale allows for a quicker and more understandable way to share this information across departments, resulting in less time being wasted chasing information and more time becoming available to service our clients.
