Ninety Reviews

Pros

1. Easy to add and remove employees and teams.
2. Makes meetings flow in a consistent manner and usable with and across multiple teams. Allows for efficiencies.
3. VERY crucial and easy to set up our annual, quarterly, and weekly metrics and be able to drive them consistently and clearly.
4. The search and help functions take you very quickly to helpful articles and answers and the greater 90.io community.

Cons

Currently, the product focuses on annual and quarterly candences and it is VERY challenging and not intuitive to set up WEEKLY 1:1's. Making this easier would allow to for 1:1s inside of 90.io and thereby being able to leverage the data and metrics and goals and to-dos entered into 90.io and make it more accessible to leverage the annual and quarterly reviews, meetings, etc.

Pros

When properly implemented, there is nothing that can have a greater impact on your business growth than using 90. It is the hub of all your priority issues, goals, measurables, accountability, processes and decisions made.

Cons

the team @ 90 continue to improve and enhance what 90 can do for its users.

Pros

The software is easy to access using a browser, and is always available without interruption.

Cons

In my manufacturing company, 90% of the team are line workers who do not have access to email, and therefore will be unable to properly participate in their L10's due to a simple development decision that prohibits non paid users from being assigned scorecard numbers or rocks. This is a really big disappointment, and since Nintey.io is forcing my company to choose between running EOS properly, or using their software, it's not a difficult decision to drop Nintey.io.

Pros

The support at 90.io is very helpful and willing to jump on a call and discuss challenges with the software. I feel like they want to hear feedback so that they can fix or implement new code to make the software even better. I used to use Bloomgrowth and they did not care about feedback very much. This is why I switched to 90.io

Cons

I feel there remains some key programming to make the software fully capable of doing what a company needs from a software platform such as this. I feel 90.io is charging for a software that is picture perfect. However there remains some snags and improvements that need to be figured out. Good news is they have a team that listens and wants to help my company be a great success using the 90.io platform

Pros

Prior to Ninety, we conducted ineffective meetings that did not accomplish anything. Now, our meetings are structured, they have a purpose, and they allow us to remain focused on the topics at hand.

Cons

Minor, typical issues that occur such as new hires not receiving their welcome email to create their login information. However, anytime I chat with a representative, they are quick at providing a work around solution while their team resolves the issue.

Pros

I like that it is so easy to use once you get the hang of it. The training videos were very helpful. Ninety helps us keep our meetings organized and everything in one place. It's very helpful or those who have implemented EOS.

Cons

We had some glitches when we first implemented, but the customer service team was great and helped us get those taken care of pretty quickly.

Pros

We use the platform as part of our EOS Implementation. Over the past two years, the user experience and platform as evolved considerable and is so much better. It is a must-use, daily platform for everyone at Humentum. But their stand-out feature is their customer service. It is quick, friendly, on-brand, and thorough. They make most SAAS companies look like amateurs.

Cons

Lots of users would like to integrate Ninety and other project management tools like Monday.com and it doesn't do that well (if at all.)

Pros

The organization of information. It's so easy to record and track everything.

Cons

For a while we had milestone tracking turned on so when a date was missed Ninety automatically assigned a to do. That didn't really work out for us.

Pros

Ninety has made our meetings so much more effective, and has helped up be accountable to the takeaways that we get.

Cons

There's not much wrong with Ninety, although some of the updates in formatting seem to be a step backwards.

Pros

Ninety is easy to use. It helps keep track of meetings and time management

Cons

There is nothing I don’t like about Ninety

Pros

I love the simplicity and way this platform connects all components of EOS.

Cons

Scorecards are very difficult to administer. You cannot manage measures for users easily and entering scorecard data is not efficient...lots of pointing and clicking instead of tabbing/entering.

Printing processes and AC are very cumbersome and not many options for ensuring they print the way you want them. We end up duplicating these items outside the system to get it right.

Pros

L-10 Meeting Sequence, Accountability Chart

Cons

Wish you could customize more especially on the performance management side

Pros

This platform follows EOS L10 format very easy and effective. Helps with communication throughout the company and keeps us on track.

Cons

When a team views the leadership team's VTO, the company rocks are titled as "department rocks" which confuses employees.
Also, I'd appreciate an e-blast outlining new features added or enhanced. I find out about these when I'm in an L10 or using the program itself.

Pros

Scorecard implementation and tracking of my team

Cons

Inability to add the same issue to multiple teams for equal discussion

Pros

I really like that it keeps me organized. I forget things at times and with 90 i can go in and jot it down before my next meeting. It also helps the meeting flow.

Cons

It can be confusing to navigate at times.

Pros

It easily tracks various levels of meetings and allows for issues/to do tracking 1:1 and within teams. Also allows for a cascading KPI/Rock structure which can breakdown and assign goals to various teams and users.

Cons

Finding and utilizing the performance management tool was a bit difficult, but highly possible that is user related.

Pros

Easy to use and manage, support teams are great. Videos for training are easy to follow.

Cons

No text updates are working at this time, a mobile experience would be nice.

Pros

I like the staff- if I ever have an issue or question, the support team is on the spot to help

Cons

I wish there were options to integrate with other software platforms.

Pros

The ease of organizing everything in one place and it follows the EOS process.

Cons

There isn't anything I don't like. Sometimes I forget how to go back and look in archives for things I am trying to refresh myself on.

Pros

This product allows visibility and collaboration across multiple functions of our business. It helps us track our progress towards our organization's goals.

Cons

When multiple people are assigned to the same to-do/issue, the item is duplicated.

Pros

Helped us to keep track of projects, have weekly meetings and implement Traction (EOS)

Cons

it doesn't work on Safari and sometimes it gets hard to edit to do's, rocks etc.

Pros

I can't imagine running an L10 without it. THe tracking, organization, and ease of use is worth every penny.

Cons

I think it can be hard to keep track of to-do's from multiple departments.

Pros

My favorite aspect of this software is that I am able to track personal goals, projects, tasks and reminders while simultaneously tracking team projects and tasks and collaborating with my group. Additionally, Ninety assists our team to have more efficient and productive meetings by keeping us on track and timing each section of our meeting.

Cons

My only con is that I feel that the interface of the software could be a little more visually appealing.

Pros

We are self implementing the EOS business methods and this software makes the process so much easier for us. Our team meetings have become more efficient. It's a great central hub to our quarterly rocks, annual goals, and strategic plans.

Cons

No cons so far. It has exceeded our expectations.

Pros

I signed up for the free trial of Ninety to build an accountability chart. After exploring the product in more detail, I changed to the full paid version. I do not regret the purchase, and I honestly couldn't imagine implementing Traction without it.

Cons

I wish the data chart could have a little more customization.
