Pingboard Reviews - Page 6

I absolutely enjoy and take advantage of the many resource and options to display and organize your organizational details and information. It is specially helpful the Out of Office tab in, which you can easily search who are the employees away at any given time.

The limited methods of sorting within the Directory. For example, when selecting a 'Team', it would be helpful to also have the capability of sorting the results based on different fields. i.e. by location of each team member within a given Team, or by specific job title, etc.

I really like that I can look up faces of my coworkers so I can get to know them better and learn names. I use this feature almost every day.

There isn't anything I don't like, but I do usually only use it to look up faces.

I use pingboard almost every day to help me find people within my company to help with various business-critical tasks.

Sometimes the actual chart can be a bit nebulous and it isn't easy to find an individual within the map.

Pingboard does a great job with including enough features to make it helpful for specific use cases, but not making it an over-complicated system. It is very user-friendly and straight-forward.

It doesn't offer too many options for permission levels, which can be limiting depending on how you plan to use it.

I am able to easily view different employees throughout the entire company and through that able to communicate with them and their team more efficiently

No cons whatsoever. Everything works just like it's supposed to

It's very easy to use. I can see my team, co-workers and the hierarchy in between. The ability to log time-off/sick days here and have it populate Google Calendar is very handy.

I've never had an issue using the tool, but it might be nice if there was some way to track changes to the organization overall or hierarchy over time (e.g. a list of folks that leave the team).

1. easy to use 2. best to publish out of office/vacation/remote/sick/business trip states 3. great to find other person into the organization 4. have a great app

Pingboard doesn't have a good integration with linkedin

I love the clear, concise way to communicate your company's table of organization. It's helpful when drafting AAPs and is a great tool when consulting for other firms. Folks are often surprised when they are shown how their operations are organized and it's very helpful to have a visual display of the whole team.

My one criticism for this tool is that a person's display (usually the picture) is accompanied by a number meant to display the reports below them. But it only shows direct reports, and not ALL reports below them. So if a department director has 10 project managers below them, but a department of say 100, the director will display as having only 10 direct reports.

I like being able to quickly see which of my coworkers are out of office. It integrates with Slack as well, which is nice. The mobile app has a game for you to match faces with names, so that has been a great way to learn people's names!

The org chart can be nice but it can also get a little hairy when there are multiple members in a certain department.

It's ease of use, you can learn how to navigate it right away.

It can at times take a while for the program to open, although this is rare.

Love it! Easy to use. Doesn't require training and provides exactly the information you need.

Only downside is sometimes the org chart isn't updated immediately, however, this has nothing to do with the software.

It's great to be able to keep track of all the teams at your company, especially when everyone is globally distributed. The organization chart is especially useful, and I use pingboard practically daily.

Some of the functionality is clunky and difficult to use.

The ease of use // and the ability to provide custom reporting

Can't really provide as everything on my end has been working! Perhaps more integration with HRIS platforms

The app is great and very helpful when out of the office for contacts. Or quickly looking up somebody when not at desk.

Org chat can be confusing with employees under others and not shown in the larger team.

It is very easy to find other people in our company and filter by groups. Also very simple when orignally starting to create your personal profile and add information about your self.

There are a few limitations that require you to be very specific in the search field, though. As in you cannot have "Agent-Mountain Standard" and search "Mountain-Standard" or you will not find what you are looking for.

is great to keep connected and on the same page your organization by telling you if a co-worker is on vacations or out of the office, it also let you know the importan events for your co-'workers, such as their work aniversaries and birthdays

at this time I don't have any complaints about the software in general

Easy to use, helps resolve awkward situations when you don't know someone in the company and cannot ask. Its also nice that there is a picture associated with the name and title.

Updating doesn't seem as straightforward when a title changes. Also would like some sort of plug-in with the email suite, so that the name and picture pops up in the address book along with title, when you email someone.

It's very easy for me to not only list when I'm away but also know when certain colleagues are so I can plan things around that. it's also great for getting to know your colleagues more as some you may never work with but that shouldn't be a barrier for getting to know them

I don't have anything bad to say at all, Pingboard really does an amazing job

I usually use the application from my phone. Easy to update and see all the updates. And the game option is awesome

I have nothing I don't like in the application

I like the organization and the easy access of profiles to my employees.

You can't place one person under two supervisors. I also liked the old layout better. The new one is not as easy to add people to supervisor categories and edit.

We purchased Pingboard so that we had a company directory (our company has been growing rapidly and employees felt they no longer knew each other); features I like include the emails with new hires and anniversaries - feedback has been really positive on this; the Org. Chart has been pretty good and even better since there have been updates - I like that they added where you could put dotted lines and departments in to better explain each branch. Price is also great!

I wish that the system had more functionality and other features, but it truly serves it's main purpose well. We don't have many additional software pieces in our world, so I think eventually a full-service HR system may replace what Pingboard resolves for us.

Alerting the team that you will be WFH, OOO or on vacation is super easy. Everyone receives an email with any updates.

I'm not sure if this is an option, but admins should be required to make adding a profile picture and answering certain profile questions required. It would be cool if this could sync up with google calendar so my coworkers can see when I am on vacation while scheduling a meeting.

We use this in our office, and it creates a Easy to find and use Org chart for the company

It does cost quite a bit to use the software and if you upgrade to a larger company it gets more costly.
