Hubb People vs spreadsheets
Plenty of teams start their first 360 in a spreadsheet and a flurry of emails. It works — until you need anonymity, chasing, and a report someone will actually read. Here is an honest, line-by-line comparison.
| Hubb People | Spreadsheets & email | |
|---|---|---|
| Reviewer access | Private magic link — no login | Shared sheet or emailed form |
| Anonymity | Groups under three pooled automatically | Hard to guarantee — names visible |
| Chasing non-responders | Automated reminders on a cadence | Manual, one email at a time |
| Self vs reviewer analysis | Automatic blind-spot & radar | Build the formulas yourself |
| The final report | One-click branded A4 PDF | Copy-paste into a doc |
| Setup cost | Minutes from a template | Free, but hours of admin |
| Time to results | A full cycle in ~14 days | However long the chasing takes |
The honest verdict
Spreadsheets are fine for a one-off with a handful of people. The moment you care about honest, anonymous feedback and a report worth sharing, a purpose-built tool pays for itself in saved admin alone.
Common questions
Can I import my existing spreadsheet questions?
Yes — recreate your question set in minutes, or start from one of six expert-written competency packs and tweak. You can also save your set as a reusable template for next time.
Is it really more anonymous than a form?
Yes. Reviewer groups smaller than three are pooled automatically so feedback can never be traced back to one person — something a shared sheet or a named form simply can't promise.
What does it cost compared to free spreadsheets?
AED 750 per person reviewed, per cycle, everything included. The trade is a clear fee for hours of saved admin, guaranteed anonymity and a report you don't have to build by hand. There's a 7-day free trial to test it first.
