Range Software Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pros

Setting it up was incredibly simple, and the Slack integration made it seamlessly blend with our team's daily workflow!

Cons

Navigating the UX of Objectives can be challenging, and we continue to discover hidden features as we explore further. I'm particularly interested in using Objectives as a lighter alternative to tools like TeamGantt, but it's not quite at that level yet.

Pros

As someone who's not the most organized, I'm always on the lookout for an integrated tool that my team can use and collaborate on. After nearly 30 years of working, Range is the first solution that meets my needs.

Cons

Online tutorials that focus on specific functions would greatly assist newcomers.

Pros

The product is incredibly user-friendly, and my team members have easily understand it. It's a clean, helpful, and enjoyable way to collaborate. Range offers an intelligent approach to our daily stand-ups. The Range team has been amazing to engage with and has been receptive to my feedback and ideas. It's challenging to pick a favorite feature since it's a significant improvement over the other tools we've used. Overall, the best aspects are the development of team culture, cohesion, and collaboration that Range encourages.

Cons

It's challenging because the developers and designers have done an outstanding job with this product. One issue is that we work across different time zones, including weekends. So, team members who work on Saturdays receive the Monday check-in question "How was your weekend?".

Pros

I appreciate how I can see what my colleagues are working on, and the ability to rate how I'm feeling and answer the daily question boosts team morale.

Cons

Besides the daily check-in, it doesn't have much utility for us.

Pros

I'm impressed by the organization of Range. It's clear where to find everything. Understanding the OKR philosophy is key to making sense of any OKR software, and Range seamlessly aligns with that philosophy. I particularly love the meeting features, including the 1:1s. The culture feature is something I've always looked for in an OKR solution, and Range excels in fostering a winning culture, even for remote teams.

Cons

Some integrations require webhooks, which may be necessary but slightly diminish my user experience.

Pros

Range helps my team gather their thoughts at the start of each workday. The culture questions add a fun element that brings everyone together.

Cons

The UI could be more straightforward. I often find myself toggling around to access the complete team answers.

Pros

Daily standup summaries in Slack are incredibly helpful for tracking remote or work-from-home employees.

Cons

It can be difficult to convince people who prefer traditional methods to embrace the software. However, I have no complaints about the software itself.

Pros

This software is straightforward and brief. It focuses on a few key sections, so I never feel overwhelmed or lost. The meeting manager is fantastic, allowing us to conduct interactive sessions with ease. The user interface is simple, friendly, and avoids a formal approach, making it easy for new users to adapt.

Cons

It's a web-based software. Although you can download the app, it always redirects you to the webpage and requires signing in with a link.

Pros

I appreciate that Range encourages me to think about what's most important for me to do each day.

Cons

Navigating the software can be challenging at times.

Pros

The UI is extremely user-friendly, and the workflows are cool and efficient. It only takes minutes to get accustomed to it. The integrations with calendar, JIRA, GitHub, and Slack are exceptional, and I love the drag-and-drop feature for detailed status updates.

Cons

Some of the settings are a bit hidden. Occasionally, we need to remove a user, so there is room for improvement in this area.
