Considered Both Products
Firstup
Chose Firstup
I can't really answer this as the platform was already in place when I took my current role.
Chose Firstup
Firstup had a very competitive package when selecting vendors.
Workvivo
Chose Workvivo
The interface is more simple and meant for the purpose of communication. Though the product misses on the aspect of one on one chat, the main purpose of communicating to group all together is handled well through the software. Employees are more engaging when they see …
Chose Workvivo
I've used one internally built similar program, but much more limited and not as effective. I'd say Workvivo is a very completed system, which provides a lot of necessary features and functionalities to engage with your employees in many different ways. I'm not the business …
Chose Workvivo
Every other similar platform was riddled with internal errors and caching issues. Microsoft is far too expansive to dive into blind unless you know exactly what you're looking for. Workvivo allows you to see everything happening in real-time and go from there.
Chose Workvivo
Very different products - Workvivo is like an internal noticeboard but a lot more than that allowing for social posts, charitable posts, events, policy documents., announcements etc.
Chose Workvivo
Workvivo is less intrusive in the workday and complements what we do better.
Chose Workvivo
Not quite the same level of interaction- the 'fun' aspect is lost on other applications
Chose Workvivo
Workvivo is the standout performer in driving companies vision, mission, and values. It creates a real sense of family and information is at the press of a button.
Chose Workvivo
I used a similar tool in South Africa while working for WesBank, I cannot remember the name, but Workvivo is a lot more interactive and a lot more popular with staff.
Chose Workvivo
I really have very limited to no experience with any other platform that fits the same field as Workvivo. My company as a whole had no program to do the jobs Workvivo has fulfilled. Workvivo has taken the responsibilities of many different smaller programs or even just large …
Chose Workvivo
LinkedIn Learning, paid for by the company, gives us the opportunity for development specific to our areas of interest. This is why I spend more time on LinkedIn. Workvivo is only limited to those in our company, but it would be great if we could somehow access other public …
Chose Workvivo
We looked at several options when evaluating which system to use. I used a G2 review and looked at recommendations. We don't have an enormous budget, and we were looking to get the most features for our dollar. Our company is also growing, so we needed something that would …
Chose Workvivo
I see Workvivo as another corporate tool that we can use in Keyloop. I only use this tool for work purposes, and it allows me to be more in touch with my colleagues. It is an exclusive social network for Keyloop! It is important for me to have quick access to other corporative …
Chose Workvivo
I selected Workvivo because this application will make me stay connected with my peers, near and dears. Also, through this application, I can come to know about the past, present, and future news. Moreover, there's also unity in diversity. We can build super friendly …
Chose Workvivo
We have used Slack for similar communication and engagement needs before. Workvivo is tailored for this and gives advanced options
Chose Workvivo
Slack was more chat based, but didn't have the resources as easily accessible. Plus slack relied on people sending things when they need to be sent, rather than just having things posted to a space.
Chose Workvivo
Workvivo is very up to date. There never seems to be any problems with the system. It seems as though it is always working efficiently and always updating the news feed for us Spearliners. Sales Navigator is a similiar application but I find Workvivo alot easier to navigate and …
Chose Workvivo
Much easier to navigate and use. Although similiar, having the app makes it a lot more accessable to users and colleagues.
Chose Workvivo
The layout is better organized and intuitive, easier to use. It has a wall where everyone can share different information. It combines all necessary features for involvement of all the people within the company. I like in Workvivo that it serves as platform where you can show …

Firstup is a well-suited solution for companies that would like to spread brand awareness and get employees to be their number one ambassadors. Employees like to share/brag about the company they work for so why not use them as a driving force in spreading brand awareness!

WorkVivo works really well for us as we have colleagues all across the country. These colleagues don't use pc's in their working day so it was proving more and more challenging to reach them. With the diversity of people now using social platforms, the adoption of WorkVivo by all members of our team was really easy!

Pros
  • Intuitive, easy-to-use templates for posts, newsletters and email notifications.
  • Consistent upgrades and innovation that keeps the tool current with other apps.
  • Flexibility on how users can use the tool (i.e. comments, sharing photos, etc.) This decision is left to each organization, individually.

  • Aligning activity to Company Culture and Activities.
  • DIrectly engaging with employees in real time.
  • The Workvivo app is very advanced and offers a great experience, as does the desktop version.
  • The bi-lingual capabilities (English/Arabic) have been a great advantage, something we couldn't find in any of the other tools on the market.

Cons
  • We'd love to see a calendar added that would show key upcoming dates.
  • It would be awesome if the Message feature had a drop-down directory you could scroll through vs. requiring you to type a few letters before the potential names came up.

  • Comment's visibility under a post: before, you saw all the comments, but now it displays only one, making you lose the others (you have to open the post to read them)
  • Possibility to change your job title manually: from the app, it is not possible to change your job title (mine remained on stage)
  • Like's visibility: before I saw them much better

To my best friend Workvivo, I would like to give 10/10. Everything is running smoothly. I feel glad when people at my workplace from other departments and also from other shifts recognise me with my name. That gives me inner peace. I am feeling blissful. I am on the moon.

The trainer was effectively delivering the training, but there were some points the trainer himself was not clear with. This impacted doubt clearing.

All the things were explained in an effective way. Easy to understand the tools, features, their use, implementation. Monitoring & support wherever required. Feedback was recorded & improvements were done wherever required to improve the coaching experience. Knowledge checks were taken to understand understanding levels. Overall experience was very well with the training.

The interface is more simple and meant for the purpose of communication. Though the product misses on the aspect of one on one chat, the main purpose of communicating to group all together is handled well through the software. Employees are more engaging when they see achievement of their colleagues on it. For leaders it’s become one place to any something to private or public groups as per their needs

Return on Investment
  • We look at the earned media revenue tool that Firstup has, and we have earned media of over $4000 most months. Amazing!
  • We have been recognized by peers, clients, and partner agents who say they always see our Hilldrup news pop up on social media!
  • Marketing has been able to control the voice of the brand while amplifying the message to new audiences - amazing!

  • I work remotely so maintaining interaction with your colleagues is more difficult. With Workvivo, I can stay tuned to what my colleagues are doing (in more fun, personal way) so I get to know them and break that distance barrier.
  • Workvivo helps to share work-related information and it is also a way to connect to the community all around the world that shares the same values and interests. Workvivo is fun and easy to use which is very helpful to the user.
  • It solves the problem of learning the organizational chart, which changes frequently. It helps me quickly find a co-worker's profile with contact info and helps me learn their interests, which I value as a remote employee.
