## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd consider them for a distributed team:
> 
> **1. Lattice - the default pick for most remote companies (25-500 people).**
> It's the most complete package: reviews, 360s, goals/OKRs, 1:1 agendas, continuous feedback, and engagement surveys in one system, with a mobile app so feedback and check-ins don't depend on being at a desk. The 1:1 and goal-tracking modules are the part that matters most remotely - they create the written trail that replaces hallway context. Pricing is modular: roughly $10-11/user/month for Performance or core Talent Management, ~$13 for Foundations, with Goals, Engagement, Compensation and Grow as paid add-ons that stack quickly. It bills annually with a ~$4,000 minimum, so it's not great for tiny teams.
> 
> **2. 15Five - best if your real problem is manager-employee communication, not review paperwork.**
> It invented the weekly check-in model, and that cadence is exactly what distributed teams lose. The "Best-Self Review" combines self-assessment with cross-functional 360 feedback, and it bundles manager coaching, which is usually the weak link when managers can't see their people work.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
