Chief People Officer

The Search bar is somewhat frustrating when I try to locate an older Training Course I've completed.

 Meetings

This tool centralizes documentation, mitigates file chaos, and issues automatic alerts to complete assessments on time.

Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer

They also provide us with benchmarking data of other technology companies so our board has some type of reference point (other than asking us) to understand how we stack up against others.

Team Lead

PerformYard does a great job doing the review part without having to crash the entire system (a total loss); you can award badges or some sort of recognition, and there appears to be an online "Learning Library" of sorts.

Also, when there is a technical issue with the system, or the website is experiencing high usage by users, the training courses tend to simply stop mid-course (not continuing where you had stopped) and force you to start over from the very beginning of the entire course, wasting your time and being frustrating.

IT Operations

I really like flexibility, and as a human resources manager, its important to me because it allows me to manage multiple types of assessments within the platform, which saves a lot of time and also allows me to tailor feedback to the actual needs of the team.

Operations Manager

What I like most is that it integrates perfectly with other tools and I can view my projects in any formt I need at any time.

Senior Frontend Developer

Emails automatically go out to remind employees (or managers) of upcoming deadlines so there's no "chasing" down people to get them to complete something they should already know about.

Chief Technology Officer

Now everything from goals progress to review notes is all within one dashboard which you save hours of time and makes performance discussions much more structured and data driven.

Product Engineering Specialist

Petty gripe - there are two acknowledgement steps in the approval process and they depend on where you are in the flow, managers consistently miss the second one, and thus I am left to deal with the issue.

I appreciate how the admin interface has been designed, though I understand that it may feel a bit uncomfortable to some users particularly when it comes to setting up review templates and changing questions mid cycle and when goal tracking and review could be streamlined to fewer clicks.

The administration aspect of performanceyard has been somewhat difficult to understand and building out the first few templates from the ground up takes way too long.

Right now I’m sitting at my messiest desk sipping on cold coffee trying to get this done as quickly as possible; however, their AI summary tool did not fail us when we ran our large-scale survey.

Being able to impersonate users is helpful when the employees can’t figure out how to use the social feed and I was pleasantly surprised that it did not crash this time.

The 360 degree review layout is really good and the customer support is responsive, almost too responsive - I didn’t think that was possible.

HR manager

I appreciate that it adapts to different performance cycles, facilitates goal tracking, and automated reminders

Senior HR Business Partner

The major advantage is that it combines the flexibility to configure customized performance cycles and with excellent goal management

People Operations Manager

This gives me greater peace of mind, as it allows me to clearly see progress and areas for improvement.

There isn't a grammar/spelling tool available for me to use while writing formal performance reviews.

It can be bit overwhelming due to the large number of options and menus.

We wanted a performance management tool that helped remove the human error to the process, so we went another direction for that automation.

However, I find the platform to be extremely slow and the mobile app to be very clunky.

I would have thought the 360 degree tool would totally be unworkable, however it has managed the comments surprisingly well.

Finding employees by name (or whatever criteria you wish) who didn't get reviewed is a complete nightmare.

Additionally, it replaced a paper based system for some of the teams.

I think the learning paths are fine or at least acceptable, however I wish there were a dark mode for my eyes.

CTO and Co-Founder

It’s always 1-5 for everyone and this isn’t fair for a new person. How can a Junior get a 5? And I had to do manual entry for absence policies and that sucked, had to click a lot.

at firts, it´s not very intuitive, and navigating it can sometimes be cumbersome

PerformYard did not provide the seamless process we were guaranteed upon signing up.

The way everything is tracked in one place has improved significantly.

Initially, configuring the system to reflect complex processes may require more learning time, that´s all.

The interface is very intuitive and clean, and the price is quite affordable

So far, what I dont like is the customization, because we need options and I see it as limited.

They then informed us that we had a 3 year NON CANCELABLE contract and are trying to force us to pay thousands per year for 2 more years for a product we don't use or find value in.  

Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder

I was surprised how well the AI tool helped with writing feedback, most of these tools sound like they were written by robots.

They do not allow you to opt out of your contract.

Occasional glitches in the system, could use more customization options for reports.

It saves me a lot of work time on a daily basis.

HR Director

For now, I dont like is the employee synchronization with HRIS systems.

It pulls over the employees name and email most of the time.

Field Team Leader

Having also served as a senior NCO in the military and having to author performance reviews and manage others in performing annual reviews, I appreciate having one site to use and being able to quickly and easily look over different team members information.

Enrollment Specialist

It is a clear passage for employee and employer to monitor progress and attention to certain aspects of my position.

My notifications are pinging me, reminded me about the admin work.

Coffee shop is loud today but I am going to press on with this.

Used to use spreadsheets and they were a complete disaster, all those broken cells.

President

They have a 3 year non refundable contract which was not explained during the sales process and now I am being held hostage.

the price is quite competitive and accessible

Those things may feel a bit cumbersome but I do not believe it significantly detracts from efficiency.

What I like most about PerformYard is how fast and easy a process it is for team reviews within the software.
