Culture Amp is the gold standard for employee engagement measurement, and it earns that reputation. Its survey methodology, developed by organisational psychologists, produces genuinely actionable insights rather than vanity metrics. The benchmarking database - spanning 6,000+ companies - gives context that no competitor matches. Where Culture Amp falls short is in performance management depth (Lattice wins there) and all-in-one value (Leapsome offers more modules for less). The ideal Culture Amp customer is a company of 200-5,000 employees that treats engagement as a strategic priority and wants the most rigorous data to back their people decisions.
