Considered Both Products

Chose QuickESign
QuickESign is super easy and it's affordable to use. We selected this product because it has a lot of popularity among other companies and they have given us good feedback. Almost all our needs in regards to E-signage can be done using QuickESign. Also, the widgets are really …

Chose Small Improvements
It's been so long since I've used another performance review software: SI is by far the easiest and most streamlined to use!

Previously we used Google Docs for 1-1 notes, but that gets clunky fast.
Chose Small Improvements
Lattice was able to link in with core OKRs whereas from my memory, Small Improvements didn't support this goal setting and tracking framework. While it was good for sentiment and management frameworks, it was unable to connect with the greater company vision as well as Lattice …
Chose Small Improvements
I have not used products similar to Small Improvements; most of my progress tracking existed within Excel and Google Sheets.
Chose Small Improvements
While still far from perfect, Lattice has much stronger goal-setting and 1:1 features (see my list of areas for improvement above).

At another company, we put all OKR in Confluence and used Google Drive (specifically Google Docs) for 1:1 notes and performance evaluations. While …
Chose Small Improvements
We looked at ADP Workforce Now and Workday HCM but weren't bought into those platforms and it didn't make sense for us to use those alternatives to Small Improvements.
Chose Small Improvements
Small Improvements is less capable compared to the competing platforms I have used due it slow and outdated looking UI, feature set, and ease of use.
Chose Small Improvements
The only other thing I can compare to Small Improvements is just general internal review processes in organizations. I have never used a tool similar to Small Improvements, and think it's a great idea. I really love that my company uses it, and think I'll continue to use it in …

If you need a solution that is so simple and easy to use and if you don't need any fancy/complex layouts then QuickESign is the best application for you. We can create various texts on our TVs using this application so easily that it literally takes seconds to publish the same. Also, the application is super easy to install and use.

Small Improvements is well suited in any sector or organization given that it tracks employee performance, 1:1 meetings, employee recognition and so on. I've used other tools previously like ones built in-house, Excel spreadsheets and even competitors like Workday but Small Improvements is leaps ahead of those other tools in its ability to execute well on employee performance tracking, recognition and meetings.

Cons
  • It's really hard to create custom animations
  • Only a set of predefined themes can be used and we cannot create any new ones

  • Being able to edit projects more easily (and have a documented edit history) would be beneficial.
  • Possibly integrations with popular platforms (such as JIRA) to give expanded detail of project tracking.
  • Gantt charts would be a nice to have for a top level management view.

The customer support is quick and thorough, they have access to our account to answers are tailored to our needs. They also have a good knowledge base and self-help site with some video tutorials and FAQs which saved us time as opposed to just calling or emailing support. For the times that we did reach out, it only took one response to get our issue resolved.

While still far from perfect, Lattice has much stronger goal-setting and 1:1 features (see my list of areas for improvement above). At another company, we put all OKR in Confluence and used Google Drive (specifically Google Docs) for 1:1 notes and performance evaluations. While it may seem cumbersome to conduct something like a performance review process via Google Docs, I appreciated the flexibility that it offered. I also still think that shared Google Doc is a perfectly fine tool for 1:1 notes (it even has assignable tasks now), and Confluence is a perfectly fine tool for defining OKR and tracking progress. Keep it simple (c).

  • Before we had Small Improvements, personal goal setting was completely disorganized. Some managers made sure it was done, likewise many did not.
  • Having past goals collected in one repository has been a blessing. I couldn't imagine not having Small Improvements or something comparable.
