"Great for keeping in touch with colleagues when working remotely"
What do you like best about Donut?

Working remotely has it's benefits, but one of the downsides is reduced cross team contact/collaboration. Donut randomly pairs you with a colleague every week for a catch-up. Love the integration with slack and calendars to suggest times. It holds you accountable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donut?

Sometimes you are matched with someone you speak to frequently and multiple times in a row. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to connect with coworkers"
What do you like best about Donut?

Donut makes it easy to meet colleagues that you might not otherwise because they're in another department or your work doesn't overlap. You can select if there's anyone you don't want to be paired with, and the frequency. Donut has access to your calendar (Google in our case) so it's easy to book a chat at a time that works for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donut?

It can be hard to get people to buy into using Donut, which is no fault of the product just something that people tend to do. Maybe including some more exciting copy could help improve uptake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great functionality, crazy pricing"
What do you like best about Donut?

Schedule was highly automated, and it took the work off my team and allowed mostly self service.

Good prompts and water cooler topics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

THE PRICING

It basically priced itself out of the market. My last company ended up spending $15K+ a year, and although we had around 100 active users, it charges for the whole workspace (600). This pricing model has made me NOT implement it at my next company, despite the tool itself being solid. There is zero chance a company can support this kind of pricing when they looking at the softer side of employee engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Creative way for fostering team connections"
What do you like best about Donut?

- The way it starts conversations.

- Fosters a sense of community. Leads to new ideas and collaborations that may not have occurred otherwise.

- Nobody voted :( [The selfie contest :D] Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donut?

Dependence on Slack: Slack Donut relies on the Slack platform, which may not be suitable for teams who do not use Slack as their primary communication tool.

Privacy concerns: Slack Donut requires access to team member information, which may raise privacy concerns for some individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to meet colleagues!"
What do you like best about Donut?

It's a fun, automated way to set up meet and greets across departments and get to know team members. I love that I can opt out if the week is too busy, and, if no one has taken initiative, it will assign someone to book some time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donut?

I wish that it had more prompting questions once we meet and could integrate with our rewards system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for helping employees connect to their peers!"
What do you like best about Donut?

I love that it connects people across different departments. It allows our sales team, marketing team, and others to connect in ways they never would by just naturally scheduling meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donut?

It's easy for some employees to disengage, which is fine. But it would be ideal if we could ensure that everyone was using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for keeping in touch and scheduling time with your workmates."
What do you like best about Donut?

The matchmaking seems to work well. I love the slack integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donut?

Notification options were a little bit confusing for me. I had a hard time opting out when I no longer wanted to participate for a set amount of time or be notified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont have any real dislikes about the app/ service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
