InviziPoll vs Workday Peakon
Competitor facts verified 2026-09-30
Workday Peakon Employee Voice is continuous listening wired into your HR system: every employee has a record, answers are confidential, and scores show once a group passes a threshold your organization picks, as low as three. It's built for tracking engagement over quarters. InviziPoll is for the few questions where confidential isn't enough, and you can run it alongside.
Bottom lineKeep Peakon for continuous listening and driver analysis. Use InviziPoll for the questions people won't answer honestly when the survey knows who they are.
At a glance
- Workday documents Peakon as confidential, not anonymous. Every respondent has an employee record.
- Peakon's minimum threshold option is three respondents. While an InviziPoll poll is open, its first results wait for your minimum group size plus three, with a few answers always held back.
- Workday doesn't publish Peakon prices. InviziPoll Pro is $49 a month per workspace, with 14 days free.

Competitor facts checked 2026-09-30 against 4 linked sources.
Answers are encrypted on each person's own device before they're sent. We store no name, email, IP address or time next to an answer, so there's no link to find, for us, for you, or for anyone who gets into either.
Confidential. Each respondent is an employee record with a unique identifier, synced from your HRIS or imported.
Nothing shows until the poll's minimum group size has answered, a number you choose that's never below three. While it's open, the first results appear three answers past that number, then new answers arrive in random groups of three to five. A few answers are always held in reserve until the poll closes, so no one's answer can be picked out.
Thresholds your organization sets, separately for scores, segments and comments. The minimum option is three respondents.
Read word for word, shuffled and undated. On a speak-up channel, you can reply, and the person reads it with a return code that's never linked to them.
Shown in dashboards exactly as written, without the respondent's name. Managers can reply.
Breakdowns by department, location or tenure, from your contact list or a demographic question, appear once the poll closes, for groups of five or more (or your minimum group size, if that's higher). One that could be worked out by subtraction is left out.
Segments on any HR attribute, above the thresholds, tracked over time.
Start a trial and send a poll the same day, by link, email or Slack. Add a contact list later if you want breakdowns.
Employee records from Workday or another HRIS, then survey configuration.
Anonymous polls, pulse series, exit pools and a two-way anonymous speak-up inbox, for the questions a confidential system won't get answered.
Continuous listening: regular surveys, driver analysis and manager nudges.

Anonymity
Workday Peakon vs InviziPoll on anonymity
No, and Workday doesn't claim it is. Its documentation calls Peakon responses confidential. Scores appear to managers in aggregate once a group passes a threshold your organization sets, with a minimum option of three respondents, and comments appear exactly as written, without the respondent's name. Every respondent is an employee record synced from your HR system, which is how Peakon segments and tracks people over time. InviziPoll never holds that link.
Choosing well
Which one should you pick?
If both tools could technically run your poll, let the default assumption decide.
Choose InviziPoll when
- The question is sensitive and your people know Peakon knows who they are.
- You want results from a group without an HRIS integration or a multi-year contract.
- Your teams are small enough that a threshold of three isn't reassuring.
Choose Workday Peakon when
- You're on Workday and want engagement data next to the rest of your HR data.
- You need continuous listening and driver analysis across a large organization.
- Confidential reporting is enough for the questions you ask.

Common questions
- How does Workday Peakon compare with InviziPoll on anonymity?
- No. Workday documents Peakon responses as confidential: aggregated, behind a threshold your organization sets, with comments shown without names. The full answer is at /blog/is-workday-peakon-anonymous.
- Can we run InviziPoll alongside Peakon?
- Yes, and it's how I'd start. Keep Peakon for continuous listening and driver analysis. Use InviziPoll for the questions where people won't be honest unless they're sure nobody can trace them: harassment, trust in leadership, a reorg, why people are leaving. Pricing is per workspace, so adding it doesn't mean paying for every employee twice.
- How do we move our questions over from Peakon?
- Copy the questions from your Peakon survey and paste them in. On plans with AI authoring, InviziPoll turns the pasted text into a draft poll, questions and options included, and shows you everything it found before anything's saved. Without AI, paste one question per line. Only questions come across: past responses stay where they are, because we can't import answers we'd be able to read. See /docs/docs-importing-questions-from-another-tool.
- How do I show my team it's actually anonymous?
- Send them /trust/anonymity, which says in plain language what we can and can't see, and link it from the invitation. When results are ready you can publish them as a signed summary anyone can check hasn't been edited. And before you send anything, open the sample poll in a new workspace: it takes about two minutes and shows you exactly what an admin sees, which is the same thing you'd be promising your team.
- Do we need Workday or an HRIS to use InviziPoll?
- No. Share a link, email a list, or post in Slack. If you want breakdowns by department or location, upload those columns with your contact list; they're attached to each invitation, never to an answer, and breakdowns show once the poll closes, for groups of five or more (or your minimum group size, if that's higher).
