The most customizable, feature-rich 360 feedback solution, anywhere

EchoSpan's 360 Degree Feedback solution is available in three editions: Basic, Standard and Managed. The Basic Edition is best for students or small groups that don't require a lot of support. Standard support solutions provide additional assistance in setup and ongoing phone support in case you have questions and need quick answers. Managed solutions cost a little more and offer supporting services that provide a hands-free experience for your administrators as well as robust support for your end-users.
