Traditional annual engagement surveys are slow and require a lot of planning and effort. On the other side, there's Honestly. The setup of Honestly is a breeze, basically after 5 minutes I was able to launch my pulse survey to all of my employees. The surveys can be scheduled flexibly, we chose the weekly option to get new data every week so we can act on it immediately. The employees receive an email or a push notification (which can also be freely configured) to fill out a 2-minute survey and as soon as there is enough data to ensure anonymity, the dashboard gets filled with data (a magic moment if you witness it for the first time). It's just really fun to scroll through all the feedback, apply filters and get to new ideas on how to improve your employee engagement score. > > **Cons**: None that I can think of. Just as a recommendation I'll like to have also the daily frequence to put in some of our surveys, so we can act on it immediately. ----- ### "Cloud based Survey app with more feature then it's competitors" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 June 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best thing it is a cloud based app and easily accessible on phone. With the help of this I get more feedback from employee as it has option to choose anonymous while you giving the feedback. This feature make survey successful as some employee hesitate to share negative point so it make them feel comfortable. This app also give me 100 percent data security. You can also create customer survey and gather information. It has very clear dashboard where you can see summery of all your feedback. > > **Cons**: I think they updated it upgrade it time to time so I didn't feel as such any cons for this. But yes it can add some more HR function so the we can use it more. > > Overall I am satisfied with this as we are so much focused on employee and customer feedback and with the help of this we make our company better and comfortable for others as well so they can free give us psitive and as well as negative feedback. ----- ### "Outdated software that isn't evolving over time" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 January 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: At first glance, it looks like a nice and not-so-expensive tool, but the truth is that it is absolutely outdated and it is not receiving any improvements. Competitors blew this out of the water. > > **Cons**: The UI is terrible and not consistent. There are bugs in reports that are not addressed. You can't trust this tool. "Customer success" is not replying to emails. We are super happy that we migrated away to a better tool. > > We dropped it. ----- ### "Honestly is the most flexible Employee Engagement software out there" — 5.0/5 > **Philipp** | *11 June 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really love how intuitive Honestly is and just how much you can do with it. - Easy setup - Automated pulse survey (extensive set of relevant questions but which can also be deactivated if you want) - You can also create your own custom surveys which is really handy if you want complete freedom over your questionnaire - Multiple feedback channels: E-Mail, Mobile App or even via Feedback Terminal - Our employees love it And one more thing I would like to point out is their wonderful support team. They really go above and beyond to make their customers happy (At least we are super-happy\!) Highly recommended for everyone who is looking into employee engagement solutions or wants to replace out-dated annual employee surveys. > > **Cons**: Honestly (pun intended), can't think of anything here. Just one thing I would like to note: it would be best to have an HR manager really dedicated to the topic of employee feedback. It is one thing to get all the valuable feedback from your employees, but you also need to ACT on it. Luckily, Honestly provides us with the insights to do just that. > > Knowing what the strengths and weaknesses of our company, our team and processes are - which usually employees do not dare to communicate so honestly. Plus our employees felt seen and appreciated and were thus more motivated. ----- ### "Employee engagement done right great for enterprises AND small companies" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 June 2018* > > **Pros**: - multiple languages supported - anonymity of employees - a variety of feedback channels: email, app, web, feedback terminal - pulse surveys (great for discovering problematic areas in the workforce) - customizable surveys (great for ad hoc one-off surveys) All in all, Honestly satisfies all of our needs and is a full-fledged employee engagement solution. Highly recommended. > > **Cons**: Nothing major that I could think of right now. Maybe rergading the languages, Russian could be added. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/180433/honestly?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/180433/honestly) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
