15Five vs. Perdoo

I believe if your managers can't make time to have in-person or live check-ins with their employees, the 15Five surveys and tools can create a semblance of care and follow-up, but many employees resent how impersonal it is. If you are able to have more face-to-face interactions or Zoom one-on-ones, those are almost always better-received by employees.

Perdoo seems to be a good fit for us. We're about 60 employees, we'll see how well it scales with us but I don't see why it wouldn't. Perdoo is a good tool especially for orgs that haven't done OKRs or goal setting, and need solid structure and support (like the webinar) to get people engaged. A tool only works if people use it!

• The Pulse Check feature is both easy to use and allows staff and management to gauge how team health is.
• The metric and key performance tools are very well designed.
• Automated reminders and reporting are great features.
• I find the customer services to be best in class.

• OKR roadmap: I like how clearly this lays out the connections between the different levels of OKRs (team, company, long term etc)
• OKR Webinar: they have a great OKR 101 type webinar that we made all our leaders go through, even those who had worked with OKRs before, to ensure that we were all on the same page. Perdoo is very intentional and thoughtful about the terms they use.
• Initiatives: I really like that Perdoo goes down to the initial level, not just OKR. Initiatives are the projects/tasks that roll up under each KR to actually get to the result.
• slack updates: I like seeing the notifications come through when colleagues update something in Perdoo. fun to see progress!

• The more business units and teams you adopt consistently using 15five, the more you see the full value.
• Reporting - it would be helpful to see an entire org chart breakdown of the goals hit/missed at the end of each quarter.
• Recommendations - focus points/alerts on OKRs that aren't progressing and auto-generated action items you should take would be really useful functionality.

• The existing mobile apps are not very usable
• Sometimes new features are added while the old features have technical issues
• Speed of support could be better

This program is the absolute best I've ever used in 30 years with organizations. Not only do I enjoy being a user and "filling it out" every week- but I would personally buy it if available for goal tracking in my personal life I love it that much!

The platform is too easy for use, you will find by hand all the main tools and the interface put in front of you what you need without enter to define or open complex options to add things.

No, you just need to open a new report and start to type things, the system automatically will start to add fields or show the desired options based on your current context.

15Five support is quick and helpful. We work with other vendors in the people management space and performance tracking/management who offshore their support or force us into long queues to chat for support and it just doesn't support our needs very well. 15Five is responsive and speedy. We constantly evaluate our vendors for their support and have switched vendors in the past in other areas because of limited support capabilities

Very helpful webinar training. They answer questions, the slides are all very helpful, and they send you the presentation once the webinar is complete so that you can share with your team.

It was very easy and support was super helpful!

15Five was more customizable and fit our under 50 employee team better for what we needed - a system for manager/employee one on ones, company wide as well as individual goal setting, performance reviews, reminders, and recognition (high fives). It was convenient and easier to have all these functionalities in one tool. Integration with Slack was also key to keep it visible to our team day to day.

Perdoo was much more focused on the core OKR process than Weekdone, and our users vastly preferred it during trial tests. Google Sheets is flexible enough to support almost any workflow, which is its biggest strength, but also its biggest weakness - we wanted a tool that is a bit more rigid in enforcing a particular process.

• It holds each employee to a certain standard by having them select their own list
• Gives them the opportunity to reach their list of goals
• Being able to accomplish each set goal and/or priority gives a sense of pride in each person's work as they are able to check off what has been done
• On the negative, it can also show what the employee is not being done and may show poorly if there is a consistent pattern of not completing tasks

• Perdoo has helped us solidify our OKR process
• It helps ensure our goals are well structured and aligned
• It made the review much easier
