[In my opinion,] the company forces people to use this [software] in order to get an insurance discount.

Pros

Nothing because [I feel] they are horrible.

Cons

Integrity and confidentiality
Products
Customer service
Value

Likelihood to Recommend

[I believe] it is NEVER suited for anything. [In my opinion,] they lie. [I feel] they have no customer service. [I believe] they are not confidential at all [and] that they abuse the information they get. [In my opinion,] they do not have any experts. [I feel] it is a total money-making scam.

March 1, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My previous company used virgin pulse for measuring our employee fitness and health data. We also had an opportunity to work with the analytics department to hear things they are working on as well as the things we would like to see. Also, I was a fitness leader for BBVA to assist virgin pulse in advocating for a positive, all around, healthy lifestyle.

Pros

AMAZING app
Great communications
Awesome compatibility across systems/apps

Cons

They could always keep adding more device compatibility

Likelihood to Recommend

Working with the app and website is awesome and user-friendly.

Great for employee performance

March 31, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are really excited about using Virgin Pulse at my department as employees and managers are creating and keeping up with habits that enhance their performance at the work place and sometimes these habits are taken home with them. This helps them, and us, to have a work-life balance and boost our sales and performance, which equals better results for everyone.

Pros

Boosting performance
Analyzing data

Cons

I'd like if the interface was easier to use, it is great the way it is but sometimes it is a little confusing to new users.

Likelihood to Recommend

Virgin Pulse is great the way it is and it also is an excellent tool to enhance workers' and peoples' performance at the workplace and even at other scenarios. Its functionality is good, easy to understand, but the interface could be better as it is a little confusing at first for first time users.

Virgin Pulse - Simple and Addicting!

Rating: 9 out of 10

March 25, 2016

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Virgin Pulse was used by my previous organization to promote wellness in the company. This was implemented throughout the entire organization to engage employees and increase health.

Pros

The mobile app is very easy to check into each day.
The rewards platform was easy to use and rewards arrived timely.
There were ways to be social within the platform. That was fun!

Cons

Sometimes, my Fitbit and even my Max device would have issues synching.
There weren't daily challenges, like the Fitbit. That made me have to use both apps, which was more work.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think that Virgin Pulse would work well for any company that promotes wellness, and has a highly tech savvy workforce.
