### "We Love PerformYard!"

December 17, 2018

5.0

PerformYard has really streamlined our performance review process and made our lives easier, from both an admin standpoint and employee standpoint. We have received great feedback from our organization and have had a great experience so far!

Pros

User friendly Intuitive Amazing customer service Lots of training and resources available Many different cool features and functionalities

Cons

I wouldn't say I dislike anything. The only thing I would say here is I wish admins had the ability to edit a few more things - ex. the content in the notifications that PerformYard sends, along with the final look of the reviews.

### "Great tool for streamlining Performance Reviews! "

June 4, 2020

5.0

Pros

First and foremost, our Customer Success Manager \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was fantastic and made it so that the implementation of Perform Yard into our company was seamless. She took the time to meet with us numerous times via phone to make sure we understood everything, go more in depth if we had any questions, etc. I appreciated the help through the set up of Perform Yard as well as the resources they have on their website that provide step by step instructions. The functionality of the program is also great and definitely streamlines the process of quarterly check ins and annual performance reviews in our company. We also like that we are able to create measurable and attainable goals for our employees in the goals section and the employees are able to go in update those goals to show their progress. So far everything has been great and we hope to expand our use of Perform Yard within our company!

Cons

I have no complaints at this time, only recommendation we did have was that it'd be nice for managers to to have a section to select their employee and see all past reviews, goals, feedback (private and public) vs having to go into their profile or filter by the employee in each different section. It'd be nice to just have that overview in one section. But other than that it's been great so far!

### "User friendly, self explanatory, easily accessible feedback"

May 21, 2024

5.0

As an employee I felt that PerformYard was an essential part of me getting a detailed evaluation of my performance. With the help of PerformYard I've been able to set goals for the future and to have feedback.

Pros

PerfomYard's simplicity of use is very important to me. It's design is user-oriented, and questions are clear and easy to understand.

Cons

It was my first time using PerformYard and I didn't see/experience anything which made it difficult to use. I like PerformYard.

### "Perform Yard is a valuable tool to track personal performance."

May 31, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like that my imitate supervisor and the supervisor above them can see all of the goals that I have put in place for myself. I like that I can set my own performance goals but that my supervisor can also set goals for me. Being able to set goals for myself is very empowering.

Cons

Perform Yard is great. The thing that I like least about it doesn't really have anything to do with the software. What I like the least is that my coworkers do not seem to be embracing it. Perform Yard offers such a great chance for self improvement and accountability. So far according to my coworkers I am the only one who is actually using it.

### "The Customer Service Proved Invaluable"

August 25, 2020

4.0

I really appreciate \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] who is the Customer Success Manager. She was available to answer my questions which often included videos, documentation and words of encouragement.

Pros

From an end user perspective it is easy to use. From a leadership perspective I like that I can quickly add employee notes which made performance reviews much easier. From and Administrator point of view I like how easy it is to add/edit employee records.

Cons

As a leader I find the creation of goals and tracking progress a tad confusing. As an Administrator the creation of forms, understanding groups and setting up/maintaining review cycles/calendars isn't intuitive. Had I been involved from the beginning when this software was chosen the process would likely have been easier.

Reason for choosing PerformYard

I was not involved in the project to identify a performance management system so I am not aware of what other systems we considered.

As performance systems go, I Love Perform Yard

Pros

Reminders and ease of use for those of use less technically inclined.

### "Easy to use for yearly reviews"

May 7, 2024

5.0

It was simple to use and I enjoy that I can export the reviews to PDFs to keep for my records.

Pros

Easy to use. Clear chain of signatures needed for yearly reviews. We have self assessments as well.

Cons

We use it to perform yearly reviews and I have not run into any issues through the process.

### "PerformYard Review"

June 3, 2020

5.0

Seamless integration with our HR department and is used agency-wide to ensure that employees are writing down their goals and tracking their achievement to prove to the company their worth and rationale for promotions or pay increases. It works great with the community of employees so they can write down their successes, and barriers to acheievement, and ultimately it drives each employee to continue to do their best.

Pros

It has a great user experience, and sends notificatoins for when its time for you to review yourself as well as the colleagues you work closely with to ensure they get the recognition on all of their hard work and progress towards their goals. Again, very easy to use, and doesnt bombard on notifcations either! Its a great way to review.

Cons

Nothing I dont like that much, its overall a great tool.

### "Paperless time-saving review process"

September 27, 2016

5.0

Our previous process was a very lengthy, time-consuming process. The PerformYard platform offered a paperless, and ultimately a time-saving process. The platform also allows you to track the various steps, which helps with maintaining timelines. I rely heavily on the on-boarding workflow feature. It enables me to put in all of our basic NDAs, or any different training form, or handbook receipt forms. It comes back to me, it's on PDF, and I can just save that straight to our database. In about two weeks everything was up and running, once we got our information in the system, the forms built, and webinars conducted for the staff. Lastly, PerformYard makes us look more professional, having a system in place to on-board a new person and automate the review process.

Pros

ROI, any time spent on a review is going to go to overhead, If we can get the staff back to what they need to be doing it's worth it.

Cons

I could not think of a Con. It is a very straight forward platform that solved pain points for our organization.

### "System Worth Having!"

December 23, 2019

5.0

It has been a very good partnership so far.

Pros

I like the ease of use of the system. We rolled this system out in an effort to get off of a paper-based system and it has been exactly what we needed. Using the system has been easy for our employees and has been easily integrated into our weekly 1:1 meetings. Setting up a review has been fast and efficient. We have had a great account rep!!

Cons

My only downside is that we do not currently have an HRIS that links directly with PerformYard. So as a result I have to upload new data manually. This is not a huge issue it is just not as convenient as a real-time feed would be.

Reason for choosing PerformYard

I felt that for what we needed it was well priced and would allow us to get off paper with an easy to use system that anyone could jump into and understand. Rolling this system out went very well. Usage is also very high as Managers are confident in how to use the system too.

### "Great customer service and site is easy to use and navigate!"

June 29, 2017

5.0

Ease of use and navigate, ability for employees to work on review from anywhere, flexibility to customize to the way the company operates with reviews, fantastic and quick responding customer service

Pros

The site is easy to use as an admin and user friendly for the employees. The customer service was very quick to respond and help when needed. We also enjoyed having multiple levels of approvers and ways to assign reviews to specific groups of employees. I, also, enjoyed running reports to see where everyone stood in the review process.

Cons

Unfortunately, it is a separate website which for our specific situation, was what we were trying to move away from. We ended up moving our reviews to our system that already holds HR, Benefits, Payroll, and Annual Reporting data. For our company, it made sense to keep the reviews in the same system the employees are already going into.

### "Exceptional Product!"

July 27, 2020

5.0

Pros

PerformYard has streamlined our quarterly review process and has made feedback and goal setting so much easier! PerformYard syncs with ADP so no need to manually enter in new hires!

Cons

While I don't see many cons, some managers have complained that the reporting function isn't as intutiive as the rest of the system.

Switched from

[Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/)

From what I understand, the former Chief of Human Resources wanted to use a performance management system that was more tailored for just that function. We had been using SalesForce which isn't really great for a rapidly growing company looking for a better, more concise and easier to understand feedback and performance management system.

### "Great Performance Management Software Platform"

February 18, 2020

5.0

This is the first time our organization has used an online platform for goals, feedback, and performance reviews. I am pleased that we will now have a way to track employee career development and keep continued conversations going about goals.

Pros

Easy to set up with a dedicate Customer Success Manager guiding you along the way. It integrated with ADP so employee data synced with the system. The online support website is great for additional learning information as well.

Cons

I would like to see a little more flexibility with being able to make changes and those changes update across reviews already set up. I would also like to see a way to send out notifications or emails from PerformYard in regards to sending out a message to employees to set goals vs. setting up a goal setting review form. Now that we have rolled out, I notice that not all employees are using the review form and instead are creating goals separately which is okay but I prefer the review form analytics to see who has completed goals vs. looking at the company review tab to see who all has completed goals.

Reason for choosing PerformYard

We chose PerformYard over other products because of the ease of use of the product, goal setting capabilities, 360 degree feedback, reporting, and customer support
