What are the advantages and disadvantages of Echometer as a retro tool?

Advantages of using Echometer as agile retrospective software:

• Simplicity: Simple preparation and implementation of retrospectives for the moderator, which saves time
• Team engagement: Users report that the playful approach increases team engagement
• Successful continuous improvement: integrated tracking of long-term trends and follow-up of retrospective measures

Disadvantages of using Echometer as an agile retrospective tool:

• Holistic mapping of retrospectives: The tracking of measures from retrospectives should ideally also take place in Echometer in order to be able to use the full range of functions.
• Opinionated approach: Echometer provides a certain structure for the retrospectives thanks to its psychologically based approach. Adapting this as a moderator can be somewhat cumbersome, as you may have to manually skip steps in the retrospective.
• The free plan only offers one retrospective per month after the initial trial has expired. On the other hand, the Pro version is relatively inexpensive at €29 per team per month.
