"Great performance management platform"

4/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

We have been using Small Improvements for approximately five years now, and our staff have fully embraced the platform. We use it for goal setting, feedback, 1:1 meetings, reviews and kudos.

Whenever I have had any type of issue, the customer service has been top notch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

There are some limitations but that comes down to technology limitations. We have a very flat org structure, and some staff have a direct Manager and some do not, they only have a Coach, we have not been able to group those as one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and includes all of the features I need"

5/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

It's very simple to use and easy to access old information, etc. The automatic alerts are very usefu as well.

I've had great experience with customer support they are quick and friendly. We use SI daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

There are some integrations/automations which I wish were better, for example google calendar set up for 1:1 meetings

I also wish there were a way to exclude entire users from the 360 process, for example now users can add anyone from the directory to give proactive feedback to, but we need to limit that every year because some people are able to opt out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pretty Simple to Use Once you Get the Hang of It"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

It's pretty good for running feedback processes. It's dashboard makes it simple on the employee side to know which reviews they need to complete. The side by side manager view when writing reviews is helpful, as are the resources that allow you to see past reviews and easily access 360 feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

The notification process for feedback cycles are not as intuative as I would like. The UI on the back end is decent but has a few areas that could be simpler like notification, timeline extension, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect for a small-medium, nimble organization"

5/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

I've now implemented Small Improvements at 3 companies as their first software-based performance management system. While each time has been a bit different based on the employee population, they have all been successful and I attribute this to the simple user interface. Since I"ve been with them for so long, it's been great to see their own improvements, small and not-so-small, over the years. The customer support is excellent and they really listen to user feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

I would say that the challenges with Small Improvements are less about the product than about the culture of the organization and their willingness to buy into new ways of doing things. But the simplicity of SI helps with that to a great extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Small Improvements Review"

4/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

Very user friendly, there's a lot of functions on the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

Some of the robust features are underutilized on our end as we don't have a full understanding of them, mindful there are videos but some demos with the reps and partnering through a role out would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
