CMO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Solid tool for performance reviews and keeping engagement surveys in one place" September 27, 2026 5.0 We were doing performance reviews and engagement surveys pretty much manually before this. Emails, spreadsheets, chasing people down. PeopleGoal brought it all into one place, and that alone was worth it for us. Pros The performance review setup is clean and not overcomplicated. Our managers actually use it, which is the real test. Engagement surveys go out easily, and response rates have been better than before. Everything sits in one dashboard, so I'm not jumping between tools to get a picture of how the team is doing. Cons Takes a little time to configure things the way you want at the start. Not a big issue, but just something to be aware of if you're planning to go live quickly. Review Source Heather F. Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Performance evaluation made easy" January 19, 2016 5.0 We have been using PeopleGoal for over a year as both a vehicle to manage employee performance evaluation and as a mechanism to track Strategic Plan performance through Balanced Scorecards. PeopleGoal has provided our university with unparalleled access to performance data that is seamlessly merged at both the individual contributor as well as departmental scale. We can now view our performance data across multiple dimensions and can drill up or down into our associated data. This functionality provides insights into areas of strength and challenge that have previously not been available. PeopleGoal was very simple to implement and is intuitive to use. The company's responsiveness to requests, customizations and enhancements has been unparalleled...we have never been told to 'wait until the next release'; 99% of the time our requests are accommodated with immediate effect. We chose PeopleGoal after an extensive search of software solutions, and it was the clear choice in terms of functionality and price point. The incredible customer service has been an unexpected, but highly appreciated, bonus! Pros Cloud-based, intuitive, simple implementation, affordable, wide range of functions, customer support, beautiful interfaces, robust reporting suite. Cons None apparent after a year of use.

Pros The biggest thing we like is how simply PeopleGoal has helped to give the topic of performance management into hands of our Leaders and co-workers - they run the show with little administrator or support need. Solution is simple and easy to use, mostly intuitive to users thus brings well people together over our 3 sites. PeopleGoal was very supportive in setup (very simple and fast), customisation and online support for users is great. A highlight for us was also Azure AD integration removing majority of work in administration of users - seamless newcomers on-boarding. Cons As solution admin/owner you will not get right now online solution usage metrics. Be ready to pivot your report xls.

January 28, 2016 5.0 We first chose PeopleGoal to change our Annual Review process, which was still done on paper. Everyone is now happy to be able to do it online, the tool is nice and user-friendly. We faced one little problem in the configuration of our Annual Review model. As soon as reported to the PeopleGoal Support team, they were very reactive and corrected it very quickly. Now we are about to open the "Goals", "Development" and "Feedback" features, there are also a lot of expectations from all our employees! We also asked for one special development option and they agreed to do it very quickly. So great job, thanks again! Pros \- User-friendly - Very nice tool - Great support team Cons Some of the features could have more options for customization. But when asked to add one, they accepted to develop it immediately for us!

Price discrimination is a very probable scenario. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Charged 199.99USD after 7days."
