Fortay Reviews

Pros

Fortay brings a people-first approach leading with DEIB, neuroscience, and organizational effectiveness that is evident in the robust suite of solutions to build diverse teams and healthy, high-performing cultures at scale.

Cons

There have been some minor glitches but the Fortay team has a very fast response time to resolve these.

Pros

Cons

It did not impact the value Fortay brings but if I had to choose something, it would be the aesthetics of the platform.

WorkTango

Reasons for Switching to Fortay

There was more functionality in Fortay. It was also cheaper for a similar if not better product

Pros

As a DEI professional, it has been difficult to find properly validated inclusive leadership assessments - until now! With the use of Fortay, I have been able to assess where leaders are, empower them to move to action themselves, and simultaneously develop customized learning based on their strengths and opportunities. I love that I can easily customize the content and their personalized recommendations are much more detailed than other assessments by outlining a number of suggested actions with instructions, the potential impacts, and links to additional resources. Fortay has been an invaluable tool in helping me support organizations on their DEI journeys!

Cons

I have used numerous assessment and survey platforms in the past. Fortay is incredibly user friendly! The results are displayed in very simple and easy to understand terms. The only con is if administrators wanted more ways to display/analyze the data (e.g., word clouds, heat maps, export to PowerPoint or excel). However, Fortay is actively working on adding more features. Bonus - they already implemented items that I requested to help me better serve my learners!

Pros

It was simple, easy to use and provided very insightful information about our candidates.

Cons

Sharing the feedback with the leaders, I felt that additional training materials would have been useful.

Pros

There's so much to love with Fortay's products. First, they lead with DEI, and we view DEI success as key to our growth. The tools are very easy to use due to their intuitive and visually appealing design. All products are built to deliver high ROI and impact. Our leaders are empowered by their team's results and their 360 feedback on how to increase team performance and lead with inclusion. The analysis happens in real-time, so no waiting around for the results. You can drill down into your results, apply demographic segmentation easily, understand your focus areas, and get the most comprehensive recommendations for your action plans. Reports are an easy click away, and you can download the raw data at any time while supporting anonymity! And their customer success is second to none with their exceptional level of support!

Cons

I can't think of anything in particular. They are always asking for feedback to improve and progress the platform - and deliver! Their people analytics, leadership development, and ERG effectiveness provide significant value to us, our culture, and our internal HR and DEI teams.

Pros

- Fuels productivity: Engaged employees in hard tech contribute to higher work output and quality.- Inspires innovation: Employees generate more novel technological solutions when invested in their work.- Promotes collaboration: Engagement leads to better teamwork, which is crucial for tackling complex hard tech projects.

Cons

1. Limited export options: More flexible data exporting capabilities are needed to suit varying organizational requirements.2. Insufficient auto-report generation: Wanted increased automated reporting functionalities for efficient stakeholder communication.3. Lack of actionable insights: Wanted more guided recommendations to utilize survey results for team improvement effectively.

Pros

Report analysis, Super friendly tool, Team is amazing, very helpful

Cons

Onboarding and Offboarding' report analysis can improved

Pros

The Engagement tool is great for us to keep a pulse on how the team is feeling and how engagement changes over time and through our companies changes. We also love the open ended comments, as we get insight that we may not otherwise get.

Cons

There are often bugs (which is par for the course with any start up) but this is always immediately remedied by the team at Fortay. Customer Success is very important to them!

Pros

The simplistic layout of the dashboard and headings. The vibrant colors are not overwhelming but encourages me to follow up on the pulse within the company. I loved the flexibility of the surveys that could be customized and the fact that sample questions were included. Being able to view past results of workplace engagement helped me to see if the improvements that I had implemented were effective or not.

Cons

With regards to this specific area, there was not a thing that I did not like.

Pros

- Very user friendly and highly customizable
- Great analytics, useful for HR and Management
- Provides an unbiased, reliable way of measuring culture for recruits
- Awesome team that are a pleasure to work with

Cons

- Improvements in integrations into HR suite of software is needed
- Better notification system for HR and Managers needed

Pros

Well structured and thought-out questions

Cons

Not much here, since it's all pretty straightforward

Pros

The data is presented in a way that is easy to understand.

Cons

It would be nice if it integrated better into our existing recruiting platform. Meaning, not having to create job postings in Fortay, but instead our postings being able to filter in to Fortay.

Pros

One of the strongest data driven people tools I've seen, delivering statistically valid pulses to employees that can be directly overlaid with candidates in the hiring pipeline.

Cons

Would love to see new features that articulate gaps or areas a candidate may not succeed in based on company and individual cultural profiles.
