What do you like best about 15Five?

15Five has been a fantastic tool for our organization! It's more than just performance management software—it's a true communication and alignment platform that has transformed the way our team connects, gives feedback, and grows.

The weekly check-ins are a simple but powerful way to stay in touch with how everyone is doing, both personally and professionally. Managers get real-time insights into team morale and challenges, which has helped us be more proactive and supportive. The High Five feature is a favorite—recognizing teammates publicly has really boosted morale and strengthened our company culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

One area where 15Five could improve is the user interface, which can feel a bit overwhelming at first—especially for new users or those who aren't as tech-savvy. With so many features and options available, the learning curve can be steep, and navigating between performance reviews, objectives, and check-ins isn’t always as intuitive as it could be. A more streamlined or customizable dashboard would go a long way in improving the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?

The performance review and goal-setting tools are intuitive and make the review process feel meaningful instead of a box to check. Plus, the continuous feedback model encourages open dialogue year-round.

Overall, 15Five has helped us build a more engaged, aligned, and motivated team. I highly recommend it to any company that cares about people development and culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 15Five?

We have built a company wide OKR tied to our company wide average Pulse score. It is an easy check of how the company is "feeling" from week to week, and over the last 2 years, I have found it to be accurate, important and super easy for the team to adopt and stay consistent in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

There isn't much. When managing multiple people and their 1:1's it can get a bit confusing which one you are in, and what are the actions that are needed to follow up with, but this is a newer feature we are using and I might just not know how to fully work it yet. I have also not dealt with a lot of the reporting (which it probably has), but seeing aggregated charts and data on the whole company would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is our main destination for keeping track of OKR's and our pulse score. The weeky check-in helps us TREMENDOUSLY in feeling connected, as we are a 100% virtual company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 15Five?

Set up of the product was very simple and the training modules are very helpful if you're upgrading or adding on additional features as you go.

At least one member of our team is in 15Five daily making it one of our most used tools.

The cadance with check-ins and 1-on-1s all being in one tool and not having to track everything manually has really helped to keep us organized and on track. Utilization is at an all time high and the reporting has aided in identifying areas of improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

I wish there was a live chat feature for customer support instead of needing to send an email and then await a response. I will say though, responses are typically very quick.

While the Best Self Reviews are absolutely a game changer, our organization does reviews based on anniversary date of our employees; which doesn't work as well within 15Five. It would be really nice to be able to combine results from various review cycles to get a bigger picture of the organization overall without needing to do a lot of manual labor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?

We initially began using 15Five to measure employee engagement and ensure meaningful conversations between managers and employees via check-ins and 1-on-1s. Being able to keep an eye on our pulse scores and identify trends and outliers quickly has been exceptionally beneficial as we continuously work to strengthen our team and ensure our employees are engaged and excited about their positions.

We are also big fans of the performance management peice of 15Five. The ease of cusotmizing the tool to measure what is important to us as an organization is fantastic, and it has allowed us to streamline our annual compensation review process as well.

We've just started tracking objectives and key results via 15Five, and so far the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 15Five?

I most appreciate the robustness of 15five as a whole and the many options it provides organizations to better engage with their people. I can see how the different functions like High Fives, the Best Self Review, or even how the individual user profile is set up all align with a lot of the best practices we've seen for helping employees leverage their strengths and other key learnings in the HR field. 15five seems to have a solution for almost every aspect of performance management. It's a pretty straightforward platform to use in many aspects with some opportunities here and there for making things smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

The sheer number of features baked into 15five can make onboarding a little overwhelming at first. You can't get your workforce to embrace every single tool within 15five so it's really up to your internal implementation team to determine which features to focus on and how to stagger the announcements and changes. There are some guides to get you started, but a bit more active support or maybe more video guides would have helped with our initial onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?

We mainly switched to 15five for more robust performance reviews and the combination of the Best Self Review and the approach to OKRs definitely helped in this area. But the bonus were all employee engagement functions through Check-ins and High Fives that we feel have strongly contributed to helping with engagement overall and have given leaders new insights into how their teams are doing.

Thank you for your review, Rocky! We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback as we continue to grow and evolve our team and product. I'll be sure to share your thoughts around implementation with our team.

What do you like best about 15Five?

I am a professional who works on mobile applications and have had lots of personal contact with 15Five. One area where the software really excels is in making everything organized. We use it so we can keep tabs on ourselves, to communicate. Especially now with projects that are really complicated and which need outside help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

But the other side of the coin is that some things about 15Five need to improve. Also, the setting and tracking of career goals seems a bit jumbled. Objective confusion There is sometimes overlap or confusion in terms of the objectives and peer review process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 15Five solving and how is that benefiting you?

As far as solving problems is concerned, 15Five has been a godsend. This makes it easier to keep tabs on the team and brings our day-to-day efforts into one or two simple principles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Melina Glackin of 15Five

Thank you for taking the time to review us, Tarek! We are constantly working to improve our platform so we really appreciate your feedback. I'll make sure our product team gets your note about goals/OKRs, and the review process.

What do you dislike about 15Five?

Poor customer service with devil-in-the-details fine print. If you so much as increase by one employee for one day, they'll shoot you an immediate bill. If you want to take a hiatus on services, they will issue absolutely no refund. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
