Considered Both Products

Chose Microsoft Viva Glint
The only comparable product I've used is Rypple, which I'm not sure still exists. Glint is a superior product in pretty much every way I can remember, from the employee survey experience to the output reports.
Chose Microsoft Viva Glint
We did a more traditional, once a year, easily forgotten tool before and used other survey tools. No consistency with how across these tools and we couldn't tie things back to overall engagement in the way we would have liked. Glint is easy to manage and keeps all of our "pigs …
Payactiv
Chose Payactiv
I think Pay Activ is the only tool really we need as a company since it has more than just early access to money but can provide other tools to help you in your financial situation
Chose Payactiv
I have not used any other products like PayActiv, I have been very pleased with this relationship. Like I said, in the 7+ years we have used them we have not handed a single problem. They work seamlessly with our payroll company and we have not had a single complaint from any …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Glint is a really user friendly and visually appealing platform for survey recipients. They also have a great support team, who are helpful in answering our questions. Areas where Glint can improve is more on the admin side. If you only need to run your surveys a few times a year (which is what we do with our 360 & employee engagement surveys), it’s not going to be bad at all. For our exit interview process, we run them for every leaver and are running into difficulties with how to streamline how to upload the data in an efficient and non-time consuming way. I also think data reporting can be better & more user friendly.

Ours is a service industry and not a high-paying one. Staff and this level of employment don't always have funds available for even minor problems, like a car repair. PayActiv enables them to get the funds they need in situations like that without even [having] to talk to the office.

Usability
INCREDIBLY easy for the end-user. The only questions we had were around confidentiality/anonymity. We tried to further address these with other surveys by calling out and explaining how Glint worked. As an admin, it is also quite simple and easy to find answers when you don't have them.

Support Rating
The technical support has been on point from implementation through to when we were running on our own with our surveys. It's great to have People Science support but we did find that oftentimes we knew our organization better and should be speaking to leadership about these results instead of PS. It was great to throw lines out to them for trends, especially when it came to Covid, Return to Office, and Diversity.
