Avis clients sur Fellow

Fellow is the Perfect Tool to Help You Stay Organized

Avantages :

Fellow is an easy to use and helpful tool that every manager should have! I have to juggle a lot between clients and different tasks and it's so helpful that I have access to all my action items and tasks in one place. I do love as well the private notes section and I use it quite frequently during calls. The ability to customize the streams (templates) is also a huge advantage as not all meetings have the same structure. Their integrations and automations make it also very easy to connect with other management tools we use in the company. Using Fellow is a seamless experience. Keep yourself organized without the hustle of managing different Google Docs for different clients. Fellow can make your life so much easier. I truly recommend it!

Inconvénients :

They have so many great features so it just takes a minute before you get familiar with them and use to your advantage. But I guess this happens every time we use a new software anyways.

Fellow is the tool that keeps me on track in all areas of my work and personal life

Commentaires : The glue that holds me together. I need this tool to help me succeed. I look forward to discovering more ways I can make use of Fellow in my day to day.

Avantages :

Ability to take notes on meetings with direct sharing with other meeting attendees. The ability to reference back to what we talked about at our last meeting is great for a review. There is always a lot going on with life and the ability to organize it is so powerful. My absolute favourite area in Fellow is the action items. This is how I get things done. I rely on action items in all aspects of my job as well as personal to-dos. The action items panel is amazing. It allows me to prioritize the order of my action list, this is a huge benefit to help me get the more important things completed first.

Inconvénients :

Right now I still have not made the best use of the Home Screen page. It is not an area that I have found as the most powerful addition to my workflow in Fellow. I suspect they will continue to improve in this area though as the feature offering is always expanding

Keeps all our meeting agendas and tasks in one place

Commentaires : Decent. I work for a company that already uses a lot of other programs, so in some ways it feels like just another thing to log into and manage, but it does what it does pretty well

Avantages :

Fellow is a useful program for scheduling meetings, writing agendas, and providing a collaborative place for those in the meeting to track what's been discussed and what action items need to be addressed following the meeting.

Inconvénients :

We don't have an easy way to integrate this with our other project management tools so it's easy for things to be written up in Fellow and languish there.

There was life before using this?

Commentaires : Outstanding. Email support w/ their training and on-boarding team is exceptional, their chat is robust and the knowledge base articles they supply are great. Again, you can be up and using this software in about 5 minutes if you want.

Avantages :

Fellow allows you to immediately deploy this software to your team(s) and essentially on the fly change your process and add value. It is intuitive enough to start using the software in about 5 minutes, but deep enough to justify continued use and their upper tier plans. User adoption was fairly quick, and the support we've received has been outstanding.

Inconvénients :

There was a couple things that were "missing" at first, but that would be if I designed the software. Over the past 2-3 months, Fellow has rectified most of them with their product roadmap and updates. If this is what they've done in the past 2-3 months I can't wait to see the new stuff.

A great tool for managing, planning, and running your meetings!

Commentaires : The experience has been great customer support is fantastic and reacts promptly. Fellow has really helped take my 1-1's to another level.

Avantages :

Fellow is great for allowing to you manage a meeting's agenda, take notes during the meeting, and most importantly keep track of action items. Fellow is a very feature-rich product with a nice slick design. The new desktop app is fantastic.

Inconvénients :

There are so many features in Fellow that at first, it can be daunting. The onboarding currently in place is great but could be improved a bit. That being said once you get used to things using fellow is a breeze.

Increased Productivity and Accountability

Commentaires : As an advisor to multiple growth companies through Invest Ottawa, Fellow has significantly increased both the effectiveness and productivity of my interactions. By taking notes of key talking points and action items through the meeting, the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and I have an immediate record that we can revisit to check off key items in advance of our next meeting. Fellow actually mirrors what I formerly did with my direct reports using Google Docs, but in a more integrated and seamless way.

Avantages :

Very easy to learn and use. Mirrored my former process in Google Docs but in a more integrated and seamless way. I especially appreciate how all meeting attendees receive the meeting notes and action items as soon as the meeting ends, reducing follow-up time and increasing accountability.

Inconvénients :

Small con but some of the capabilities are not entirely obvious, could use a bit more clarity from a UX perspective.

The perfect application for managing meetings at all stages

Commentaires : It changed our meeting management policy, and gave us the appropriate output of meeting agenda which is prepared and approved by all team members, which makes our meetings always beneficial.

Avantages :

The Fellow helps remind and prepare for meetings in a unique way, and helps develop a solid plan to manage the meeting to get the desired results. All this is done simply by Fellow, using ready-made templates that are suitable for all types of businesses. You can also involve the rest of the team members in preparing for the meeting with you and providing you with their ideas for inclusion and discussion in the meeting. Many of the great features of Fellow help me every day. The data is easy to understand and helps my team identify their strengths and capabilities, and Fellow troubleshooting is always available. I like that it integrates with Google Calendar and other Google programs.

Inconvénients :

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about Fellow, as the subscription prices are very nominal, and you can also take advantage of the free version, as it integrates with many applications that help you easily import and export data from and to it as well as share it. Fellow developers also provide several tutorials that make it very simple to use.

enables the team to collaborate by following up on the outputs of the meetings and making updates.

Commentaires : With Fellow, everyone knows what needs to be done, and with the help of tools that enabled us to assign tasks to team members correctly, we were also able to get accurate updates early, and archiving previous meetings helped us easily access them when needed.

Avantages :

With Fellow, we can manage meetings in every detail, and it's amazing how we can prepare meeting agendas, take minutes of meetings, assign tasks to members instantly, and remind them regularly of agreed-upon deadlines. Fellow puts in our hands many tools that improve the team's ability to accurately understand what is required of them and know the actions required of each member to implement them before the next meeting, and he can also constantly update the status to keep things clearer for everyone. The good news is that Fellow allows managers to closely monitor interactions, giving them the ability to transparently evaluate performance.

Inconvénients :

Not a lot of unwanted things, just sometimes I have trouble keeping meeting minutes in the same format when sending them via email, and when syncing with Zoom, it takes up a lot of screen space, which might make me lose focus.

A great product for managers!

Avantages :

Fellow is a great addition for a remote working environment. With everyone working from home, it's hard to keep track of who was supposed to do what. The ability to prep your meetings in advance with an agenda and follow up with explicit action items, assigned to specific team members, is a necessary function of my job, but there aren't many tools out there that are designed with this specific purpose in mind. Fellow makes it really easy to keep track of all of your outstanding action items, how long they have been open, and in what meeting they originated. As a manager it's easy to manage your direct reports and see action items that belong specifically to them. For my direct reports it's easy to see what your manager is waiting on from you, and it makes preparing for one on ones and performance reviews easy and clear.

Inconvénients :

Fellow has been most beneficial when the entire team is actively using it to prep for meetings and assigning action items. This isn't a flaw in the software, but it certainly loses some of its appeal if you can't get buy in from your team and organization.

Game changer for efficient meeting management Inputs & Outputs

Commentaires : Key productivity tool for project managers, requirements and communication management from various third parties to your organization on a daily basis

Avantages :

Easy to use Integration with Jira Integration with Google Calendar Mobile App available Ease of sharing minutes with external users Ease of assigning tasks to various stakeholders

Inconvénients :

Actually, nothing comes to mind, the cons that it initially had have been resolved in recent updates

Meeting Management

Commentaires : We are still figuring out how to best use Fellow, but have decided that we are going to be keeping it and moving forward. It was touch and go for a few weeks.

Avantages :

I like that all of our meeting information is housed in one location and fairly easy to find and access. I like the different templates that they have to choose from, makes for a quick-start. The customer support is awesome. Very patient and willing to step in as needed. I VERY much like that I can see all my personal to-dos without seeing anyone else's (if I could put them in the correct order it would be PERFECT)

Inconvénients :

I don't like that I would NEED customer support, I would like the product to be a bit more intuitive. I would also LOVE to choose the different bullet options. Circles for to-dos, squares for check-ins etc. I want to be able to check something off as done today, but still needing work by someone else in the future. This is the biggest detractor in my opinion. For example, if I add to the agenda that I need to talk with Sue about something that I want her to do in the next week, I would like to be able to check off that I had the conversation, but also deploy the task from that same space.

Accelerator

Commentaires : Working with Fellow feels like you are working with friends who have a vested interest in your success.

Avantages :

I have learned that taking notes - tracking action items, and coordinating the accountability of a daily calendar are extremely important in my personal organizational needs. Fellow directly, and effortlessly allows me to integrate all of these elements. I have tried other programs where it seems you need to get a doctorate degree just to learn how to use it - defeating the purpose for me. Fellow is intuitive and sophisticated at the same time.

Inconvénients :

There a few simple things like having an illustrated version of my calendar so I can see longer term in the future.

Organizational and communication superpower

Commentaires : Fellow's support team is exceptionally diligent - they respond quickly, provide thoughtful workarounds and I've seen some of my suggestions get moved into the product roadmap

Avantages :

Fellow keeps me organized and it's really easy to manage both my professional and personal action items (as well as see action items holistically and on a per workstream basis). It was the second software tool I activated when I started my new role (GSuite was the first). Fellow keeps me accountable and on top of everything I need to do, and provides visibility across the organization into meetings, outcomes and outstanding accountabilities.

Inconvénients :

Fellow is still building out their integrations - I am able to integrate with some of the systems that I use through Zapier, but hope that they build out integrations to other tools that I use over time (ie. an integration with Affinity would be really useful to log meeting notes in both places)

Simple and the most practical tool for managing team.

Avantages :

I was looking for a tool that can help organize my managerial tasks like onboarding new hires, doing one-on-ones, keeping track of meeting actions, and communicating the next steps with other business units. Fellow is like my team's virtual assistant who never forgets anything. My favorite part is simply having clear meeting takeaways that are shared with the rest of the team and are easily accessible for reference at any time. We are a fully remote company (thanks covid) and using Fellow has really allowed us to be more operationally efficient. Also, Fellow is $5 / user currently which is super economical considering the business impact it has on our operational efficiency.

Inconvénients :

Fellow used to didn't have a mobile and desktop app. But they do now and I can't think of any cons at the moment.

Fellow keeps things straight

Commentaires : Definitely able to keep on top of my to-do's with Fellow. Reccommend for individual users and teams.

Avantages :

Fellow helps me keep my notes organized and linked to ongoing meetings.Sharing notes helps the team stay on the same page.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes it takes a minute to load.Occasional glitches have my notes not save

A must-have for remote teams who care about meetings

Avantages :

The ease-of-use and speed at which new employees can get on and incorporate it into their daily flow is seriously great. Their team is an exceptional group, with excellent support and top-knotch content being pumped out weekly. Since our company went remote in March, we use Fellow for every meeting on my team and I couldn't go back to how we tried (and failed) to make a collaborative agenda before. Plus, the way it feeds all of your action items into a single stream makes an near perfect to-do list (if that's possible). Truly, nothing but praise from me.

Inconvénients :

The recently launched desktop app has a couple of glitches, but seems to be constantly improving.

Integral to remote work, easy to use, and fun!

Commentaires : I use the tool for every meeting I have and it hasn't failed me in 2+ years. I use the tool daily and I am impressed with the overall improvements the team makes to the UX and the options.

Avantages :

Fellow is a wonderful meeting tool that allows me to capture notes, assign tasks and action items, and take personal (private) notes alongside my publicly shared notes. I love that it integrates directly with Slack and Google meetings, and the Mac desktop app is handy in reminding me when I have meetings that day.

Inconvénients :

I have no cons about Fellow. Since learning about it in 2020 and using it daily, it has never crashed, never disappointed, and the development team clearly keeps up with use cases as I have been impressed with added features and design updates.

"Wait...where are the notes from my last 1-1 with them?!?"

Avantages :

Instead of searching Evernote, Google Docs, my Full Focus Planner...etc now I have ONE place for 1-1 notes. In addition to that agendas for meetings have never been easier to make, assign who is talking about what, and even ensuring action items are assigned and have a due date! The interface is easy to navigate and beautiful. I cannot speak highly enough. Now, the hill I am charging is getting our HR director on board to implement it organization-wide.

Inconvénients :

I don't know if I have any at this time! I really cannot complain. The updates have been great. Teammates saying "Another platform!?" At the beginning, but then falling in love with it too has been the biggest hurdle.

Great way to keep track of talking points and ideas for your 1:1s

Commentaires : The customer success team at Fellow is extremely friendly and helpful. I have had a great experience with the tool so far (it actually makes all my meetings more productive) and I like that I can look back at all my 1:1 meeting notes and the feedback that my manager has given me throughout the year. Great job, Fellow team!

Avantages :

It works as a central repository for all the things I want to talk about with my manager and the things he'd like to address (instead of tracking meeting notes all over different notebooks).

Inconvénients :

I think it would be even more beneficial if it was deployed across the organization (so every team meeting agenda and cross-functional meeting agenda is stored in Fellow).

Fellow is the first app I open at the start of each work day

Commentaires : I have to give a Kudos to the Fellow Customer Support Team as well as the Leadership team for building an amazing community of professionals!

Avantages :

I really like how easy it is to manage my day to day tasks. It's also the perfect tool for one on one meetings with my Director. Before each meeting, I add my talking points, action items, and then send them by slack or email so we can cover everything within the perfect amount of time.

Inconvénients :

I have nothing but great things to say about fellow. It's been a 10 out of 10 software in my experience!

a very helpful method of planning meetings and compiling data.

Commentaires : Fellow is easy to use and requires only collaboration to become a vital tool and resource for all team meetings.

Avantages :

Fellow's templates let you prepare for meetings creatively by collecting team members' notes and queries and discussing them during the meeting. Fellow works with numerous programs, making participation easy. Its easy-to-use interface makes it essential for team meetings. It also helps us track team member tasks.

Inconvénients :

The fellow helped us organize meeting preparation, documenting all material and creating a unique meeting minutes format.

Fellow revolutionizes meetings

Commentaires : I use fellow everyday along with my entire team and department. We using it to set agendas and share them for meetings, to make sure we cover each topic, take notes for each meeting and make action items. All of this is shared between all participants in the meeting, which is absolutely amazing.

Avantages :

Fellow makes it so easy to manage all the administrative aspects of meetings. From taking notes to making takeaways to making and sharing the agenda, Fellow is just a fabulous tool. The Google Calendar integration is amazing ask well.

Inconvénients :

The only thing I wish Fellow did was save my default template for when I create new meetings and add fellow to them.

Very good initial impressions

Commentaires : I've only been using Fellow for a short time but I'm already impressed. This app makes it so easy to coordinate agendas, track action items, and record minutes where everyone can see. Extremely helpful for recurring meetings. If I'm away from the office it's simple to see what was discussed and if I am responsible for any deliverables.

Avantages :

It's really convenient how well it integrates with Slack, Google Calendar and other tools. It makes it easy to coordinate agendas with other people and prepare in advance so meetings are more effective.

Inconvénients :

Nothing really to be disappointed with at this point. I'm just eager to see the functionality they add.

Meeting Teammate

Commentaires : It is very crucial for remote working and online meetings. It helps to share info with your colleagues and save time to create to do list.

Avantages :

You can take notes and assign actions while you are at google meet. Integration with slack saves your time because it reminds you

Inconvénients :

When I mark the the action item by mistake it disappears and can not get it back to the list.

Easy to manage it all

Commentaires : Amazing and smooth.

Avantages :

Software helps me keep up with employees and not lose track of important table items. Easy to use and very effective at making sure we tackle everything on our agenda.

Inconvénients :

So far no major cons about the software.
