Pros and cons

I love having a place where employees can share their ideas, concerns, feedback, etc. while being anonymous.
Gives staff comfort they can be open and honest with their feedback.
The anonymity is the main feature our company appreciates as well as it's ease of use.
We originally had access to multiple boxes, but the program changed and we lost this without notice. Many features that were previously available to us now require an upgrade to the subscription.
We also use it for Compliance. If an employee sees someone doing a compliance violation, they can report it without any fear of possible retaliation.
The only cons I can think of are lack of filters for exporting boxes and no ability for an individual employee to be alerted of a response.

Great Tool!

Reviewed 2 years ago

It has helped us get in touch with our employees and understand what they are thinking, what their concerns are, and to plan based on their feedback.

Pros

I love that Suggestion Ox is a truly anonymous forum where employees can ask questions and give feedback.

Cons

None that I can think of.I am just typing... ha

Vendor response

Thank you, Maggie! We're thrilled that Suggestion Ox is helping with employee communication and workforce planning. We're also super-happy that you can't think of any cons, but definitely don't hesitate to reach out if you have any ideas for improvement—everything we do is based on feedback from customers like you.

Peter Smith's heat resistant review

Reviewed 2 years ago

I like it, it is what we need.

Pros

It is just what we need and no more - an anonymous suggestion box.

Cons

I wish we could make everyone allow us to respond to them, most do not leave an email, so we are left either saying nothing to anyone, or emailing everyone with a response.

Vendor response

Thank you for the kind words, Peter! We're glad that Suggestion Ox is everything you need. Our Direct Replies feature now allows you to respond back even if the submitter does not provide an email. Reach out to our support team or your customer success rep if you'd like us to show you how that works.

Anonymous suggestions for compliance is great

Reviewed 2 years ago

We actually have two suggestion ox accounts. One is for company suggestions/complaints. This helps the employee feel comfortable reporting any wrong doing. We also use it for Compliance. If an employee sees someone doing a compliance violation, they can report it without any fear of possible retaliation.

Pros

The employees feel safe knowing that they can report anything on here without fear of retaliation.

Cons

I wish it were more customizable where we could put a logo and a box that the user can select if they WANT to be known who put the suggestion in.

Vendor response

Thanks so much, Roger! We love that you're using it for both feedback and compliance. Those are our two sweet spots and it's great to hear that you're getting multiple uses. We definitely do allow you to include a logo, and setting up user options for revealing their identity is a snap. Don't hesitate to reach out to our support team or your customer success rep for assistance setting that up.

Confidentiality of Submissions

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

We like the confidentiality of the system for employees to submit.

Cons

We would like a format where we could have a suggestion box - where people could opt-in with who they are, and everyone votes up, down, and comments on suggestions - a more collaborative space as we brainstorm areas we are improving.

Vendor response

Thanks so much, Brian! We really appreciate the kind words. It's actually easy to let people opt-in to sharing their identity on Suggestion Ox. And we also do have upvoting and downvoting for any submission that you've shared publicly with your team. Please reach out to our customer success team and we'll show you how to take advantage of these features. Thanks again!

Trusted and Effective Anonymous Surveys

Reviewed 2 years ago

We have had Suggestion Ox since for almost as long as I have working with the company and my overall experience has been a positive one. Employee trust and transparently respond to the questions we send out.

Pros

Suggestion Ox has become an essential and trusted tool for all employees to provide honest, transparent feedback to leadership. We have had and continue to have many suggestions that we've been able to address and act on.

Cons

The only cons I can think of are lack of filters for exporting boxes and no ability for an individual employee to be alerted of a response.

Vendor response

Thank you Kristin! We're so happy to hear that Suggestion Ox has become an essential part of your employer toolkit. Definitely reach out to your customer success manager to chat about exporting options and response alerting. We do offer both of those things and would love to show you how to make them work for you. :)

It's simple. It works. Our people are glad it's there.

Reviewed 2 years ago

Excellent. Having anonymous reporting that works well makes our company a better place. This software is a key piece of what we are doing.

Pros

We use Suggestion Ox for harassment and other reporting, plus surveying employees on specific subjects (we've been "taking temperature" during the pandemic around masking, for instance.) It is incredibly simple to set up and use. I set up a survey this week in less than 10 minutes.

Cons

I wish I could copy a "box" to another "box" (and then edit from there). If that feature is there, I don't know about it.

Vendor response

Thank you Patrick! We're so glad that you're finding Suggestion Ox to be both powerful and easy to use. We love to be a small part of helping to make your company a better place.

For very quick, easy-to-use and 100% anonymous surveys for employee feedback do not look any further

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

For people who don't have the time to design branded forms and look for "engineering" ways to create anonymous surveys, collect feedback and report the insights SuggestionOx brilliantly provides the intuitive interfaces and tools - you can get up-and-running literally in minutes.

Cons

Needs to be hosted in the EU region to gain more confidence for sensitive customers who want to be GDPR-compliant.

Vendor response

Thanks so much! Love to hear that you were up and running in minutes. We've worked hard to make software that is fast to deploy and easy to use. Nobody has time for lengthy training and complex setup. P.S. We can host in the EU. Reach out to our team to chat about options!

An Employee Engagement Super-tool.

Reviewed 2 years ago

True employee engagement means being willing to hear the bad/negative comments in all their glory, not just rave about the good bits. Having a truly anonymous Suggestion Ox allows for genuine feedback. I have had comments ranging from potentially significant whistle-blowing allegations, to suggestions for better brands of coffee!

Pros

Truly anonymous. Gives staff comfort they can be open and honest with their feedback.

Cons

I have no complaints at all. Suggestion Ox fulfils my needs.

Vendor response

Well this made our day, Mark. Thanks so much! We're so glad to hear that you're getting better employee engagement (and better coffee). :) Please reach out any time with ideas or suggestions for how to make our platform even better. Everything we do is based on customer feedback.

Suggestion Ox for Company Feedback Gathering

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall this is solid software for anyone that needs to receive anonymous feedback. I love the ability to respond to messages through the software, maintaining anonymity for all involved.

Pros

The software is easy to use - setup and implementation took minutes. I researched various options and found this to be the most straightforward.

Cons

This is minimal but I feel like the aesthetics can be updated, the site looks a bit out-of-date.

Vendor response

Thanks so much, David! You're right—being able to have two-way anonymous conversations is so much more powerful than just deploying a one-way suggestion box where employees feel like their ideas and concerns are disappearing into a black hole. P.S. If you haven't logged in recently, definitely check out our new design. We've done a major overhaul on the app and hopefully you'll find it much more modern, usable and up-to-date.

Easy to implement, easy to maintain!

Suggestion Ox allows us to maintain a confidential and separate "whistle blower" resource as well as a central drop box for compliments and questions.

Pros

I like Suggestion Ox because it is easily accessible to all of our employees, statewide; and I receive notifications whenever someone has submitted feedback.

Cons

We use Suggestion Ox as our anonymous Feedback box. Based on what I have seen, it is limited in capabilities, but it fills a need for us.

Vendor response

Thank you, Lisa! We've recently added a lot of new features around case management, status tracking and assigning to different owners, but if there's still a capability you need just drop us a note.

Anonymous done right

Reviewed 2 years ago

I love it and it is worth the subscription

Pros

I love that there’s no identifiable information passed off to the administrator who submitted what. I’m able to get things I need feedback with responded to freely.

Cons

I feel like the hardest thing about this is to prove to the employees that nothing is shown that is identifiable on who submitted what information

Vendor response

Thank you so much, Robyn! It makes us really happy to hear that you're getting the candid feedback you need. And you're right, it can take time to build trust with employees. People definitely aren't used to having a safe, anonymous channel to communicate with leadership. It almost seems too good to be true, but when companies build those feedback loops it creates so much better trust and communication.

I've gotten a lot of suggestions and directions with which to produce my content.

Pros

This product replaced a free service I was using and the free product changed to a paid model. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was incredibly responsive to my questions and helped me obtain the right solution for my needs.
