Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Lattice** - My default recommendation for a 50-500 person distributed company. Best balance of review cycles, goals/OKRs, 1:1 agendas, and pulse surveys in one place, and the Slack integration is good enough that people actually give feedback where they already work. It's the priciest of the mainstream picks (roughly $11-22/user/month depending on modules) and reviewers consistently flag it as the heaviest to administer. ([G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/culture-amp-vs-lattice-lattice), [PerformYard's comparison](https://www.performyard.com/articles/lattice-vs-15five-vs-culture-amp))\n\n**2. 15Five** - The one I'd pick if your real problem is that remote managers have gone quiet. It invented the weekly check-in pattern, and its review model pairs self-assessment with cross-functional 360 input, so reviews aren't built from a manager's fading memory.
