Pingboard Reviews

I like Pingboard because it helps me know when coworkers are out of the office (assuming they actually use that feature), and when there's a new employee I can hop on and check them out. We are also big on celebrating birthdays in my office so I like that I can go on and see everyones birthday.

Sometimes I get confused when going to put in a new status but that's all really. Overall it's easy to navigate

You can schedule time away from the office and pick from a handful of reasons.

The homepage does not provide much useful information.

The ability to manage the TO for a dynamic organization. The ease with which you can integrate new team members into an existing workforce.

Desktop app is not my favorite, but the mobile application is awesome!

The birthdays and work anniversaries home screen!

Incomplete profiles and ways to post videos not just pics

PingBoard is really helpful in an organization like TurnKey where there is a lot of personnel that lives all over the country. It makes it easy for me to find the right person and get in touch with them quick and efficently. It also helps you feel like you know them a little bit better with there bio and things they like to do.

Not everyone fills there Pingboard out fully and some people don't update old information.

We use this in our office, and it creates a Easy to find and use Org chart for the company

It does cost quite a bit to use the software and if you upgrade to a larger company it gets more costly.

Easy to use, helps resolve awkward situations when you don't know someone in the company and cannot ask. Its also nice that there is a picture associated with the name and title.

Updating doesn't seem as straightforward when a title changes. Also would like some sort of plug-in with the email suite, so that the name and picture pops up in the address book along with title, when you email someone.

Anytime I'm in a jam or need to contact someone that I'm not fully aware of their name or position Pingboard swoops in and saves the day!

Nothing really, it's never disappointed!

Wish it would update people when I make a change to my profile. They should know when I have a funny new nickname.

I like how easy it is to use. I can use it on my computer or on my phone, and I appreciate that I can have a colleague's contact information readily at my fingertips if I need to get a hold of them. I also like that there are pictures for each employee, I am a visual learner so it helps me match faces to a name. There are a lot of employees at my organization, so that feature is helpful.

There are some features that are easier to use/access on the computer than on the phone app. It would be nice if they were more similar, but I do understand that a phone cannot view all the things a computer has the capability of doing.

I'm a pingboard admin, it's helpful to see people's personal preferences when putting together something person (an anniversary or thank you gift for example). It's also helpful to track where co-workers are and quickly see their contact info.

As an Executive Assistant who supports 2 Executives, and has a separate Manager-- it would be helpful if my notifications for time off went to all three of them.

Separately, the Executive I support has asked me to log his time off in pingboard for him, but I can't because you need to sign on through Google. If we were able to sign in with just a username and password I could sign in for him and do it.

I like how simple Pingboard is. We have other software that overlaps with a lot of the features in pingboard but our org has yet to migrate from using Pingboard for the Org Chart and Out of Office.

I like how simple the features are but I feel like there should be more care or attention to detail on the the very few actions a user can take. Most people are using Pingboard to update their status. I have to click on way too many things to update that. Why not just have a quick way to update your status the moment you visit pingboard?

Pingboard has a very useful interface- you can search by department, role, tenure, whatever specifically you are looking for, and it brings up the information with ease. Also, the ability to see an organizational chart as a "web" is a very cool feature. I enjoy using it because it shows all of the contact info for an organization, but also shows if they are away, on vacation, and if not there, who to contact instead.

Its not really a con about the software- if someone leaves for vacation, and they do not put it on ping board, it wont show that they are "gone". If ping board could be made to sync with google calendars, that would be very useful

Our team is in 55 different cities and I love how we are able to put a face with the name and learn more about the other person.

There could be additional tools added to this platform -- maybe a chat feature?

I love that I'm easily able to find the people I'm looking for. I also love the feature of visitors being able to ping someone from the front desk. Easy to use and easy to notify others if you're out of the office.

Not sure if there are any cons.

It's user friendly and makes it easy to find your Co workers contact information and interests.

There could be more features available and some information about my co workers is outdated.

I use pingboard mostly to get alerted about out of office time and to retrieve my coworkers calenders.

The only thing I don't like is weekend vacation time. If people take a friday and a monday off, it makes it appear like they took four days off.

I like that you can easily access information about employees, what team they are on and office they are located in. As an IT administrator, it is an easy tool to use while verifying employee data or finding their manager.

There is no seating chart feature. I think this would fill the missing piece for this product.
