April 16, 2025 1.0 Terrible, I would never recommend this company to anyone. If you’re looking for a similar product choose a competitor. Pros Nothing. There is noting good about this company. They value money over helping their customers. Do not contract with them. Cons Terrible customer service, force you into a 3 year contract with no exit. Do not use them you will regret it.

IT Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ideal for simplified and effective performance management" November 10, 2025 4.0 My experience has been positive because it is effective in transforming performance management into a continuous process and it benefits me greatly by getting rid of manual proceeses. Pros 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. Cons So far, what I dont like is the customization, because we need options and I see it as limited. thats the only negative. Review Source MK Michelle K. Senior HR Business Partner Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Senior HR Business Partner" December 4, 2025 4.0 A robust platform that digitizes and optimizes performance, reducing administrative tasks and enabling complete customization Pros The major advantage is that it combines the flexibility to configure customized performance cycles and with excellent goal management Cons The reporting functionality should be more sophisticated to provide predictive analytics and deeper data, ideally without requiring extensive setup Review Source GW Gabriel W.

Meets all basic needs and requirements related to function Cons Very basic - no advanced or special features Review Source JA Joshua A.

I appreciate the fact that I am able to review my own personal progress and reflect on past notes. Cons I have yet to have any direct complaints or concerns at this time. Review Source DC Devin C. President Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Find another solution " February 20, 2025 1.0 Disappointed. They have a 3 year non refundable contract which was not explained during the sales process and now I am being held hostage. Business is all about great partnerships and this is not one of them. I would highly recommend working with a different team. Pros Initially I liked the concept and it seemed like they had a great onboarding process and support system Cons The software is clunky, the dashboards are boring , and overall we have found much better software programs that are already integrated into standard payroll platforms. Review Source AG Alexandria G. HR and Talent Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Product - Great Support Team!" July 29, 2019 5.0 Our overall experience has been very positive. As a growing company, we very much needed a mechanism to ensure that goal setting and feedback was occuring on a regular cadence on a company wide basis. We also wanted a platform to recognize co-workers efforts on a company wide basis. Ensuring feedback happens and is documented is invaluable for employee growth. The feedback from employees has been great. Many of them are coming from large companies with mature performance management processes and have indicated they think PerformYard is a superior product - more updated, easier to use and better features. Pros The User Platform is easy to navigate and understand. Creating forms and launching review cycles is simple once one learns the basics. I really appreciate the Gmail single sign on. I love the recognition feature. Our CSM has been amazing - accessible, helpful and very attentive. Having our performance reviews managed through the platform has been a huge benefit and needed for the engagement and growth. Cons I have not found any things I dislike about the software to date. On my wishlist for product improvements - a visually appealing Org Chart option. That would be awesome and very helpful!

It had an updated, cool feel. Engaging UI. Good balance of simplicity, usability, and customization. Ability to streamline the review process, to gather actionable insights from the reviews and allows for real-time feedback to be given/received. Complete support, setup, and training at no additional cost. The sales experience was awesome, and the CEO even talked to our CEO which sealed the deal. The price was much more competitive than out #2 choice Reflektive. Given that we are a start up and still a relatively small organization at 135 employees, the competitive pricing was very important to us. " Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) We needed a dedicated Performance Review Software Product. WE had been using Google Sheets which was OK when we were a smaller team, but obviously is not scalable. We needed a platform that would ensure feedback process was continual and easy to implement for admins and easy to use for employees. We wanted to increase engagement around performance review and feedback cycle. We needed improve goal setting and long term career roadmapping for employees. Review Source VP Vadym P.

It offers a user-friendly platform for managing performance reviews, setting and tracking goals, and facilitating feedback. While integration capabilities could be improved, its intuitive interface and comprehensive performance management tools make it a valuable asset for enhancing organizational performance and employee development. Pros I particularly appreciate how it streamlines goal-setting, feedback collection, and performance reviews into a seamless process, making it easier to track and improve employee performance effectively. Cons While PerformYard excels in many areas, one aspect that could be improved is its integration capabilities with other HR systems. Enhancing seamless integration options would further streamline data management and enhance overall user experience. Review Source MM Manuel M.

It allows me to see and track performance statistics I would rather not be able to view at other companies I have experienced in the past. This really allows me to pin point my performance and become not only better at my job for myself but to become more of an asset for my company. Cons There is not really much I don't like about the PerformYard tools. If there is one thing I would say that could be better, it would be ability to get more updates sooner to my performance tracking. Review Source TP Tim P.

Review Source AE Ally E. Operations Coordinator Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Working our way to a culture-focused, positive environment..." March 1, 2019 5.0 Recommendations to others: Listen to the directions support/representatives give you... they're an excellent source to use, as to not try to do too much right-off-the-bat. I see a lot of companies start huge and they lose control of the systems, then their efforts become a negative, bad-tasting initiative to the team members. Problems solved/benefits: PerformYard helped our quickly-growing team provide more consistent, necessary, and VERY MUCH desired feedback. In my opinion, this is one of the most important things a firm can semi-easily give an employee. It's so important to help someone learn, grow, and give them the opportunity to succeed; and PerformYard got us about 20 steps closer to the continuing initiative. Pros PerformYard helped our quickly-growing team provide more consistent, necessary, and VERY MUCH desired feedback. In my opinion, this is one of the most important things a firm can semi-easily give an employee. It's so important to help someone learn, grow, and give them the opportunity to succeed; and PerformYard got us about 20 steps closer to the continuing initiative. Cons I would say the system can be a tad limited, although I understand the majority of these limitations come from keeping customers from trying to do too much and digging themselves a hole (so thank you for helping to pull us in and keep us focused). But, my BIGGEST request/suggestion is to allow multiple-choice questions with MULTIPLE selected answers (ie: select all that apply)... this is something MANY of our questions need, rather than using open-ended or multi-line answer options (as there's no way to turn that information into data).
