Perfect for recognizing and making visible young and underwritten talents with the company. > > **Cons**: The risk that someone remains under the radar. A basic concern is that someone uses it to harm or not to critic positively otherse. > > It was so fun to study it, and view how many possibilities we have to impact thru the whole company, using something like this. ----- ### "Best 5 Review" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *February 12, 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Very interactive, - Allow people to review each other on different projects they work on. - Great tool to search if staff is happy. > > **Cons**: - Can have a lot of system errors. - Sends a lot of emails, feels like spam emails at times. - Profile set up should be made much simpler. > > Staff morale has really gone up, encourage people to congratulate/encourage one another on a daily basis. ----- ### "The future of performance review and feedback" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *June 18, 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is easy to use and makes showing appreciation easy in a culture where the art of giving positive feedback is sorely neglected. It is a fantastic move into the future of employee appreciation as it allows a more agile and cumulative approach to the performance review nightmare that everyone faces at the end of the year. > > **Cons**: It doesn't take into account the people within the company who do not work in a team. the only person that sees what these people do is the manager and sometimes the client. This can cause a skewed view when it comes to overall performance within the company. > > Hi5 is easy to use and understand as it mimics the structure of modern social media. ----- ### "Impressed\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *June 18, 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It creates a sense of unity in our company, which is important considering how scattered we are. It provides a new and less formal platform that email to express feelings. > > **Cons**: It can create some competition and deceitfulness if the results are used for salaries. It also excludes people who may be doing great work but aren't as social/ well known by others :( > > I enjoy it. I think it brings strangers closer ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/114271/hi5?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/114271/hi5) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
