Perceptyx Delivers What Culture Amp Promises
While others treat employee experience (EX) as a one-size-fits-all proposition, we've built our entire platform to transform employee feedback into action that drives organizational change and business impact. We don't just deliver data insights — we drive action and deliver outcomes that other platforms simply can't match.
Discover the Perceptyx AdvantageWhy Forward-Thinking Organizations Choose Perceptyx Over Culture Amp
We're the trusted partner for leaders who refuse to let their employee feedback gather dust. Our mission? To help your people and organization truly thrive rather than just survive another survey cycle.
Built Around Your Needs
Every organization's employee experience journey is different, and we're here to support yours. As a Forrester Wave Leader for Employee Experience Management Platforms, Perceptyx gives you the best of both worlds: intuitive self-service options and a team of dedicated in-house experts when you need a hands-on partner by your side. Here's the difference: Culture Amp sells surveys, Perceptyx transforms EX.
Culture Amp boasts thousands of customers because its primary focus has always been on smaller companies. But larger, more complex enterprises require something different: a product built specifically for them. While Culture Amp lacks the flexibility to evolve with your EX strategy and support complexity beyond the basics, we scale with you. This makes it easy to develop personalized programs that activate workplace behavior changes at scale, translating your employee feedback into tangible business impact.

Your Personal Team of EX Experts
When you need help, you work directly with our I/O psychologists, program managers, and other EX specialists — not Customer Success Coaches with basic engagement training. Here's what you get with Culture Amp: a few hours of support from a CS professional who’s been trained on the basics, with little to no ability to purchase additional time when you need it. Their "survey design" is really about removing questions, not truly customizing your program.
Even their Enterprise package? You get limited time for results analysis and presentation — and this presentation is typically delivered to HR leaders, not your C-suite. They're not digging in to understand your business. Divisions of enterprise organizations may find their support consistently falling short of actual enterprise needs.
With Perceptyx, our in-house experts become an extension of your team while providing a single point of contact for all of your EX needs from start to finish. We deliver a true partnership, built around professionals who are as invested in your success as you are, without artificial time limits or restrictions on executive access.

An Entire World of Benchmarking Data
Unlike Culture Amp's benchmarks that include thousands of small and medium-sized businesses unlikely to reflect your larger organization, Perceptyx offers an extensive, global benchmark database focused exclusively on enterprise organizations that delivers both depth and relevance:
- Large enterprise organizations across all major industries (including more than 25% of the Fortune 100)
- 20+ million responses from around the globe
- 710+ unique, scientifically-backed survey items
- Ability to provide benchmarking even across custom questions and surveys
Our rich, validated dataset enables informed peer comparisons with organizations just like yours. This adds essential context to your decision-making and empowers you to pursue targeted opportunities for improvement with confidence. This depth of insight is the foundation for meaningful change. Perceptyx equips you with both the clarity and purpose-built solutions to turn employee insights into action, then transform that action into impact.

Robust Crowdsourcing & Voting Capabilities (Plus Intelligent Nudges!)
At Perceptyx, we empower leaders and teams to align around meaningful action by turning real-time, crowdsourced insights into a catalyst for change. Culture Amp lacks co-creation capabilities powered by crowdsourced insights and action recommendations, which is an area where Perceptyx leads the market. Our platform enables employees to contribute and vote on novel and innovative solutions to critical issues, fostering a culture of inclusion, trust, and shared ownership in shaping the organization's path forward. Plus, our science-backed Intelligent Nudges ensure continuous engagement and action momentum — something Culture Amp simply doesn't offer.
