Holaspirit reviews

Very friendly user. Easy to use, to understand and the Customer support is excellent!

Pluspunten:

It really help us with the implementation of holacracy. It is necessary for us to have such a software to be able to collect and consult roles and their description. It is very friendly user, very intuitive and it was well adopted by everyone.

Minpunten:

It needs to be more efficient with tasks and projects. But I know that the improvements are coming. So I am very eager to see the upgrade.

We've grown together

Pluspunten:

Holaspirit is intuitive once you've acquainted yourself with all the functions or rather become more experience with Holacracy. The more we use it, the more we like it.

Minpunten:

We're still greenhorns in many aspects of Holacracy. The issues we have are probably more user issues than software ones.

Takes time to use the software

Opmerkingen: There are alternative to hierarchy systems that are more effective, fair and ultimately provide a fun work environment.

Pluspunten:

Open communications among colleagues . Roles can be defined and reviewed. Flexibility in roles. Meetings are more efficient and systematic.

Minpunten:

Its not user friendly Some functions are hard to find Actions do not have reminders Meetings can take up take from work

Excellent tool which much supports our key and high-stake migration towards a Teal organization.

Pluspunten:

Embarking on the path of distributed management and role-based organization, regardless of the methodology chosen, is a risky, complex and complicated endeavor which requires the buy-in of the whole company. Tools are essential in supporting such transition. HolaSpirit has been a significant contributor to our successful migration to Teal due to its user-friendliness, to the way information can be centrally shared about people, roles, accountabilities, quality documents, processes, etc..., to its handling of tensions, tasks/projects, or metrics, and to provide multi-user on-line tactical meeting capability. Support is also very responsive and effective.

Minpunten:

While simple changes in governance is easy to manage, more complex changes in roles and circles are tedious (I wish we could drag-drop roles/circles!). The lack of not being able to classify some information as restricted to just the circle or to some members is a significant limitation (e.g. meeting reports / outcome from HR or top management tactical meetings). Integration with Jira has been abandoned in our case -- some limitations as I understood. Small improvements in filtering / ordering / hiding some information could also help.

Good alternative to Glassfrog from HolacracyOne for companies using Holacracy

Opmerkingen: Without Holaspirit we could not implement holacracy, because self-organization for whole companies relies heavily on software support.

Pluspunten:

Software helps a lot for transparency about the organization structure and makes all governance and operations accessable to everyone. The search is quite good to find information who is accountable for what, seeing the roles of all users and finding projects. Holaspirit enforces the rules of holacracy so that beginning users/circles cannot make big mistakes, like changing the governance out of an governance meeting or changing the role assignment without beeing the Lead Link.

Minpunten:

It does not provide a holacracy habit program like Glassfrog does. I have to relolad the highly interactive UI using SHIFT+F5 quite often, when I switch between different organizations. Maybe this is not an issue just working in one organization. The learning curve for beginning users is there. They need to have a basic understanding for all the mechanics to use the software properly.

Flexible, Reliable and Feature Reach Holacratic Organization Collaborative Software

Opmerkingen: As a change consulting organization we practice both Holasprit and Galssfrog with our clients but internally we use Holaspirit to manage our own holacratic processes.

Pluspunten:

Holaspirit is THE alternative to Glassfrog. Both systems have very similar features. Holaspirit is a bit more flexible and open. The support from the team is very good and the software very reliable. It has a strong community of users and new features are added continuously.

Minpunten:

Well, it you don't like the color "green", Holaspirit is not for you. :-)

How to completely change your meeting culture

Opmerkingen: We operate better using holaSpirit as a guide for our meetings. People feel listened to and engaged in the work. I would recommend it to anyone.

Pluspunten:

I am most impressed with the outcomes of our meetings using holaSpirit. We immediately have a list of actions sent to us in seconds at the closing. More importantly it raises the involvement of everyone on our team. All are equals at the meeting and all can create propose and solve problems right there in the meeting. Best of all we can address up to 15 agenda items and still finish the meeting in 43 minutes. There has been no better system or process in my 39 years of running meetings.

Minpunten:

There are really no real problems that we have experienced with holaSpirit. It does take some time to get new staff and group members up to speed but it is very intuitive.

Opmerkingen: useful to have clear and explicit governance ; meeting process to improve our internal process .

Pluspunten:

hotline efficient ! new services frequently added

Minpunten:

visual aspect sometimes not very clear ;

very helpful to run a Holacracy org.

Opmerkingen: It helpes to setup and run a holacracy organisation

Pluspunten:

holaSpirit has all key functionality needed to run Holacracy in an organisation. It is very easy to use, no training needed. It is continuously enhanced with new functionalities. The developers listen to the clients/users

Minpunten:

Holacracy is still a hierarchy (nested circles/roles, 1:n), and quite rigid. What we need are selforganised networks, n:n, flexible, agile. There are other frameworks like Sociocracy 3.0 which have rhis flexibility. Would be super cool to be able to map n:n networks with holaSpirit

Seamless experience, it is always clear what I need to do or what information I need

Pluspunten:

Great user interface. All the features needed to implement Holacracy are there. I can export all of my governance records in a standard format. Plenty of integrations available.

Minpunten:

It is a pity we still not have an integrated app in order to check my governance data everywhere. I would like also to tag domains and accountabilities for further reasoning.

Great tool for visualization of structure

Opmerkingen: The knowledge base is a bit superficial, we had specific questions on certain functions - the support team is very available.
It is very appreciated that feedback is so welcome and that we have a direct channel on improvement ideas.
Overall great.

Pluspunten:

This platform really helped us map our work and somewhat harmonize the structure of each team. It was the first time we were able to visually translate our network (all the projects; hubs and partners it is composed of).

Minpunten:

There is room for improvement in the integration of other platforms. For example, we use primarily slack for coordination: only receiving notifications from Holaspirit on Slack is not enough, we would benefit from synchronization of calendars, embedded links to the corresponding circle in a channel, etc. Another example is the Trello integration taking over projects and actions, and having all info in the Trello bucket description instead of using the available features.

The better collaboration and Enterprise Operating System solution

Opmerkingen: Easy and smooth with the best customer support I have seen.

Pluspunten:

One of the things it supports is the Holacracy way of defining an organisation. For me this is the most powerful way to define, maintain and share an organisation, roles and responsibilities.

Minpunten:

There is nothing that is really missing for me. There are always things to add that will help my organisation perform even better.

User review: Holaspirit, a very good tool

Pluspunten:

Holaspirit is a very effective tool, intuitive to use and allowing efficient organisation and follow-up of meetings and collaborative strategy. It is also a good tool for information sharing and communication.

Minpunten:

Precise and daily monitoring of projects is more difficult to put in place

review holaspirit

Pluspunten:

a handy tool for giving structure to meetings, for an overview of existing roles and circles, to see who is who, and to find reports and projects for circles in the organisation

Minpunten:

not a tools to use on a daily basis in an holacratic firm. easy for meetings, but for indicators, projects, actions, communication ... i prefer other tools (teams, planner, trello, ....)

Amazing tool to implement Holacracy in any size of organization

Opmerkingen: Many benefits !

Pluspunten:

holaSpirit is easy to use. The user interface is very clear. There is a very useful online documentation.

Minpunten:

We used to implement Holacracy in our company with an other solution. Since we swithed to holaSpirit, we haven't got anymore difficulties to make Holacracy alive in our organization... So, in fact, I haven't got any weak point to underline here.

Great software to efficiently support our daily Holacracy practice

Opmerkingen: Ideal tool support of the Holacracy processes

Pluspunten:

- Public roadmap provides a great insight into what to expect when - New features are implemented regularly in a short amount of time - The support reaction time is world class - The software has a great user experience

Minpunten:

- Metrics and dashboard functionality could be extended (e.g. visualization capabilities) - Some usability optimizations for bigger companies required (e.g. assign same metrics to several circles)

holaSpirit review

Opmerkingen: We have adopted Holacracy 2 years ago and use holaSpirit to describe our company's organization, circles, roles, accountabilities, domains, policies and purposes.

Pluspunten:

It's very easy to use and all content looks very customer friendly.

Minpunten:

Some of the translations into Dutch are not fully correct yet.

A must have when implementing Holacracy

Pluspunten:

It cover what we needed to support our Holacracy implementation. The support team is doing an amazing job supporting us when needed. As a customer we are feeling that the development them is listening to us when features are requested.

Minpunten:

Something certain features are not intuitive at first use, example the badge support. But the documentation is there to understand how to use the feature.

Great support for Holacracy application

Pluspunten:

Easy to use! Find function work without leave the current function (ie tactical meeting, governance meeting). Good minute after meetings. Good integration with appear.it

Minpunten:

Actions do not have reminders. Sometime the update make by secretary in governance meeting are not updated to other and we need to change stage of meeting then return on the correct stage.

Great software for self organized companies

Pluspunten:

Its very easy to use. Great stability. Good Design. Reasonable pricing.

Minpunten:

This field requires text, so I write something. There is nothing that I do not like.

Perfect tool, great integration with other apps

Pluspunten:

Very logical setup, very intuitive and easy to use. I love the integration with other apps.

Minpunten:

More insights in projects and tasks of others. More insight in metrics and checklists of other roles

All you need to rock in holacracy or agile organization !

Pluspunten:

holaspirit is complete with many in-app help. The circles view is very useful for employees to discover the organization structure not by its hierarchy side but by its jobs organization and interactions. The meeting view is also very useful for teams to be synchronized.

Minpunten:

Need just few user interface minor improvements to be the perfect app. For instance make the main side bar much more user-centric or increase the size of the smallest texts at a few places.

Best Holacracy app that I know

Opmerkingen: I have been practicing Holacracy for over two years now at various companies. Often I was also responsible for choosing the right software tool. After using glassfrog, we switched to holaSpirit because it supports more integrations and allows you to adapt the constitution.

Pluspunten:

Serene and clear user interface Works intuitively from day one Gets you started with Holacracy, and allows you to adapt more advance governance rules Value for money Many different integrations

Minpunten:

Settings are in different places (per account, per circle) which can be confusing Not yet possible to have multiple subtask per project (on roadmap)

Metrics should improve

Opmerkingen: super cool!

Pluspunten:

the percentage progress bar on the OKRs are amazing

Minpunten:

not having the percentage progress on metrics metrics are poor

Chose this one in evaluation because ease of use, great UX.

Pluspunten:

Amazing support direct to the team, fast feedback. I like the Team. Great User Experience and workflow.
