Culture Amp vs. Engagedly

Culture Amp is a great tool for employee surveys, and has been able to scale with us for 5+ years. It's customizable and helps provide rich data on how employees are feeling so that we can continue to use that feedback to improving our company culture quarter over quarter.

Engagedly has a huge range of possibilities and we chose it because of all the functionalities it offers. I'm not marking my rating a 9 or 10 because of the UI. If you're an active user (e.g. in the people department) then you get used to the UI fast enough. However, if you only use it twice per year (like all our other users) it can be difficult to find what you need. That being said, Engagedly offers a truly broad range of HR-related functionalities and we're very happy about that!

• Provides survey templates with benchmark data from all other users, grouped by industry and company size.
• Very user-friendly analytics of the post-survey results- easy to apply filers, graphs, charts, heat maps, great visuals. The data and charts are also very easy to extract in several different formats such as Excel, PDF, and CSV.
• Extremely easy to share results with leaders/managers, apply security permissions for only parts of the data if you don't want to share full company results.
• They also have a library with very helpful/guided PowerPoint and storytelling templates for preparing a high-level overview of results and presentations.

• Goal setting: Ability to set individual OKRs, department, business unit, and top-level department OKRs; ability to align goals by level, ability to see goal hierarchy, and see how individuals making progress in their OKR impacts the overall company progress.
• Performance reviews: ability to set cycle and customize each cycle, manage cycle at the same time or independently; ability to invite external reviewer (outside of the organization) is a huge benefit.
• Learning: All learning courses can be hosted in the system and assigned to individuals or groups; ability to run reports
• Analytics and reporting capability: the new interface improves this capability a lot. Data can be zoomed in and out and presented visually for employees and managers

• For some reason, you need to sign in every time you reopen the browser
• It would be nice to have a notebook section where I can follow up on the courses I'm undergoing and the tools I'm learning, and to be able to share that progress with colleagues and on social media
• If it incorporates all the organization, Culture Amp could offer a culture map so strategic improvements can be made for the organization

Incentivized

• Notifications - it would be better if individuals can customize what notifications to receive
• Project review function - it would help if we can set up a review form that can be used any time of the year as many times as the reviewer want to use with more structure than the current feedback function (such as rating scale etc.)
• It would be helpful if the mentor meeting function is included, not additional.

So I would give it a 10 once it is integrated, but because the integration was a challenge and I found the customer service to not be concierge level enough, I would have to lower it to an 8 for that reason.

The reason I gave this rating as Engagedly shows us the tasks that are pending with the due date and also if the due date is nearing it sends us reminder emails to make sure we do not miss it. It is also helpful for new associates to know more about the organization hierarchy as documents are right shown on the home screen.

Absolutely! We love engagedly because we haven't faced any kind of lagging or such issues in website. It also has a convenient app through which you can access everything. They are very polite and address to each and every query relating to software which may cause hinderence in the process.

I've used other products like IBM Kenexa as well as about 10 different engagement surveys. I've also used things like SurveyMonkey and Microsoft Forms and Culture Amp for companies that want to make decisions using better data. I would say Culture Amp was far and away better. Culture Amp stacks up and blows the competition away with the level of data you can dig into without being able to see what individuals set.

the goal and review cycle alignment was superior to others. the price point was within our budget. And the employee recognition wasn't too over the top but also wasn't boring. we also looked at the clear company and a few others

Incentivized

• Much easier, faster process for performance evaluations
• Feedback from our first engagement survey informed some initiatives that have fostered a more positive, inclusive culture at our company.
• Feedback from our COVID survey informed initiatives that helped keep our staff more comfortable and increased their trust in our leadership.

• the survey features have enabled us to run some good snapshot engagement data, and then react to the feedback quickly
• we are currently working on the performance management module so this is a work in progress, but I definitely see potential
• our employees currently don't use the system regularly enough to see the benefit so this is an opportunity for us
• The knowledge hub is great place for us to store company information
• The e-learning module will be a great place for us to log training
