15FiveTraqq
Considered Both Products
15Five
Chose 15Five
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 …
Chose 15Five
No other experience with this type of tracking.
Chose 15Five
15Five offered our sales team more robust reporting and ease of use for navigating the dashboard features.
Chose 15Five
Visually 15Five blows Yammer out of the water! Yammer was easy to use as well, but it felt very difficult to get on to and was not single sign-on when we were using it. 15Five allows for easy login with single sing on feature and has less "clicks" to get to where I need to be …
Chose 15Five
I have worked in Fortune leading companies, small start ups and leading healthcare organizations of every size and stature over the last 30 years. Never have I had a program I loved and looked forward to each week like 15Five. There is no comparison!
Chose 15Five
We use each platform differently. We use Asana to make long-term and short-term priorities and assign each team member to specific tasks. Each task has different due dates spread out over a period of time. We use 15Five for individual weekly objectives and as a tool to check-in …
Chose 15Five
I've used both lattice & 15Five. They both have their pros and cons but ultimately I feel that 15Five is more user-friendly and easier to understand for my employees.
Chose 15Five
I haven't seen anything that offers what 15Five offers. We've been using it since they were very young and haven't considered switching. Why would we?
Chose 15Five
I only have experience with 15Five in this capacity, and it was amazing. I really miss using this tool and I hope that we will have an option to get it back in our future; especially now that we have expanded and grown our number of staff that works on this project.
Chose 15Five
Asana is geared toward project and task management with communication features while 15Five is geared toward team health down to the individual level.
Chose 15Five
I've used asana and jira. Jira has too much functionality for a team like ours and asana didn't have enough gamification for our team. At the end we chose 15Five because it was simple to use and easy to follow, it also allowed the manager to review each individual on the team …
Chose 15Five
I have never encountered another service or product that provides the same level of insight that 15Five affords, coupled with such a fluid and user-friendly experience. From the lowest-level employee all the way up the corporate ladder, there is a lot of value to be gained from …
Chose 15Five
15Five has been more comprehensive and covers all facets of our business. Facebook Workplace served as more of an overall collaborative business tool with opportunities to post quotes and articles to share.
Chose 15Five
bananaTag now has the built-in capabilities to include employee pulse surveys, which I love. 15Five is a little more direct as our manager required us to fill out the internal feedback section weekly.
Chose 15Five
Specialized in performance management, easier to roll out and use than other products, the service, and people at 15Five are top-notch. The ease of doing business with 15Five is high.
Chose 15Five
I haven't, as I was not a decision-maker in the purchasing. I've used others in the past, but frankly, can't remember their names!
Chose 15Five
15Five has been a much better solution for our team. The feature suite is much broader and we found that Khorus at the time had a very subjective approach to measuring Objectives and Key Results. 15Five does so much more with one-on-ones, employee health, and performance …
Chose 15Five
Asana isn't necessarily a performance tracking tool but we tried to use it in a way that would work. 15Five is much better since it specializes in this area specifically.
Chose 15Five
The great advantage of Quick Base is that you can pretty much mimic the functionality of an app like 15Five on it. That, however, is easier said than done because it is difficult to find talented Quick Base developers and the cost model of Quick Base can make it prohibitively …
Traqq
Chose Traqq
The UI/UX of Traqq is way more understandable and more convenient to be used. Also, the price policy is more reasonable and affordable.
Chose Traqq
So I have used Jibble and time doctor for time tracking, but none of these would reflect the reasons for low/high performance of the employees as Jibble is just a time clock, and the time doctor won't yet make reports and send them to superiors right away. Traqq solves it. …
Chose Traqq
The benefits are obvious as soon as you log in. The dashboard is an easy read, the reports are appropriate and the ease of use is top-notch.
Chose Traqq
I haven't used any other products in this area but I think Traqq will be my choice as it provides all the features and services that I would be requesting from such a product. We selected it because they have excellent support and a smooth onboarding process.
Chose Traqq
As silly as it sounds, I was using Google to search for "timezone converters" prior to finding Traqq. I could never go back to managing my company in this way. I now realize how absolutely ridiculous it was to be using Google to manage a company with about 30 employees. The …
Chose Traqq
I was an Upwork user for a few years. I think the advantage of Traqq is it has an intuitive Dashboard that you can refer to. On Traqq's Dashboard, you can grasp the data of the whole team at once. While on Upwork, generally, we need to click on each contract to check the …
Chose Traqq
It's similar to the Upwork time tracker, but Upwork does not let you erase screenshots or blur them, and that's a plus for my employees because they feel they are being tracked but without a privacy invasion.
Chose Traqq
Traqq is the first tracking app I've used. I have heard friends and former colleagues (On Upwork) complain bitterly about how poor most tracking apps are and the countless number of times they've been underpaid after putting in a great amount of time and energy. Traqq was …
Chose Traqq
Traqq have very clear and user friendly user interface as compare to the other tracking tools
Chose Traqq
Capture for Jira (formerly Zephyr Capture), from SmartBear and ClickUp
Chose Traqq
I selected Traqq because in the TickTick app it was difficult to manage the application and I can’t able to see all team members' daily activities in terms of performance.

User Testimonials
15FiveTraqq
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Traqq is a great system when you are in the field of education. In my experience, it has saved me countless hours of figuring out how to remember the timezone my employees and students are located in. I used to use a written spreadsheet of each employee's timezone and one of those random timezone calculators. Being able to modify Traqq based on my employees' timezone, my timezone, and our company's timezone (the technical "working hours") has been a game-changer.

Pros
  • The Pulse Check feature is both easy to use and allows staff and management to gauge how team health is.

  • Automated reminders and reporting are great features.
  • I find the customer services to be best in class.
Read full review
  • The productivity colour system (red, amber, green) displayed on the work timeline works really well for quickly gauging productivity
  • Reports are easy to generate, and can quickly be sent to others.
  • Privacy features make it feel like a productivity tracker rather than a surveillance product.

Cons
  • 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.
Read full review
  • Being able to log in directly through networks such as Google, Apple ID, or even Facebook.
  • I missed being able to use the application in other languages ​​such as Spanish.
  • Seeing the exposed data with graphics and being able to export them to PDF or Excel for example.

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!

Usability
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.

Support Rating
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

So I have used Jibble and Time Doctor for time tracking, but none of these would reflect the reasons for low/high performance of the employees as Jibble is just a time clock, and the Time Doctor won't yet make reports and send them to superiors right away. Traqq solves it. Honestly, I have never come across any software competing with functionalities like Traqq yet.

Return on Investment
  • 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

  • I've been able to get things done faster with Traqq. One of my clients made a comment a while back(I asked for her permission before posting this). She said, "I loved how I don't get to pay freelancers for doing nothing, now I pay employees according to the quality of work I receive". We both laughed about it though, but I believe that's a positive impact on her.
  • I've been able to write more, knowing that my clients can see my major moves. My main aim is to impress my employers to get good feedback in return and Traqq helps me greatly in that area.
