Range Software

Range helps in eliminating redundant calls by providing comprehensive task view

Pros

I love how I can effortlessly update and track the tasks I've completed or currently working on by sharing a check-in. It's also convenient to edit or add tasks if needed.

Cons

As a newcomer, it would be helpful to have some UI improvements, such as informative tooltips, to better understand the different parts of the dashboard and how to use them effectively.

Excellent Customer Service

Pros

The dashboard is incredibly useful for getting a holistic view of the team's progress. The customer service is exceptional, with a responsive and proactive team. They deserve an A+++ rating.

Cons

I wish there was an option to be a member of multiple teams.

Design organization needs daily checkins

Pros

As a fully remote team, I truly appreciate the ability to check in daily, the team-building questions, and the weekly overview.

Cons

It's not currently possible to customize the check-in prompts on specific days.

Keep connected with the Pleco Team in a Virtual world

Pros

It made reporting updates enjoyable and hassle-free. It's a great way to stay updated on what other team members are working on day-to-day.

Cons

Going through the check-in process every day became tiresome at times.

Range has range!

Pros

Having a simple way to post daily standup updates, consolidate them into single posts, and have cross-team groups has been a fantastic feature. I can easily keep my team informed even when I'm in meetings by posting my Range update. The daily sentiment updates are also fascinating since we can share how we're feeling.

Cons

There are numerous additional features, like meetings and OKRs, that I don't utilize as much. I feel like I'm paying for them in addition to the core features I use. While I've had success using them in the past, their usefulness depends on team participation and doesn't always align with how I report.

Great For Keeping Virtual Teams Connected

Pros

I love that it helps our team members stay informed about our daily priorities, and it's super easy to check in directly from Slack or within Range itself. But my favorite feature has to be the unique daily questions. Our team has discovered so many interesting things about each other that wouldn't have come up in conversation otherwise.

Cons

The only thing I desire is the ability to conduct company-wide check-ins in addition to smaller team check-ins.

Keep your team aligned

Pros

It offers numerous integrations that allow me to quickly update my team about my day. It saves me a lot of time and ensures my focus points are readily available for my team.

Cons

Understanding how to set goals and utilize certain features can still be a bit challenging. It's a good feature, but it could benefit from further simplification.

Ome of the best communication resorces I have been provided

Pros

I appreciate the ability to connect and network effortlessly with my team.

Cons

Some functionalities are deeply buried, making them time-consuming to access. Additionally, while it's convenient to have the ability to use multiple platforms for phone calls, I've encountered issues when receiving a call on one platform while trying to make a call on another.

Digital Checkin

Pros

The integration with Google is a game-changer. I don't have to retype what happened or our plans. Additionally, the insightful questions help foster team bonding and give a glimpse into how other team members feel.

Cons

I haven't explored much, but I wanted the option to customize the questions.

Best tool for (remote) stand-ups

Pros

This is the ultimate tool for replacing daily standups. If face-to-face meetings aren't necessary, Range does an excellent job of providing transparency on everyone's tasks.

Cons

The tracking of "objectives" and progress could be improved. Using hashtags can be inconvenient, especially when dealing with multiple objectives.
