PerformYard Performance Management Reviews & Product Details

The best part of PerformYard is the people behind the scenes. Everyone we have talked to at PerformYard after purchasing the product has been extremely professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly! I love that we can offer suggestions for system improvements and they are always taken into account and many times put into production as an enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there is still some room for growth in functionality. Some things are a bit limiting but there are typically workarounds for anything that doesn't function the way you would need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Onboarding professional was accommodating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am profoundly disappointed with PerformYard, particularly in their renewal process, which I found to be misleading and deceitful. The sales team was not transparent about the renewal terms, and as a result, I unknowingly ended up locked into a three-year contract. When I reached out to address this issue, I provided documentation clearly showing how the renewal was misleading, yet upper management refused to entertain any discussion about ending the term early. Their lack of flexibility and unwillingness to even acknowledge my concerns speaks volumes about their approach to customer service.

Beyond the renewal issue, the platform itself is not as user-friendly as advertised and is not well-suited for small businesses that simply want to conduct annual reviews and basic performance plans. The system is unnecessarily complex—something as straightforward as one-on-one counseling requires creating templates, assigning templates, and then starting templates instead of just having a simple option for direct documentation.

If you are a small business looking for a streamlined performance management tool, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. PerformYard’s aggressive renewal tactics, lack of transparency, and cumbersome user experience make it a poor choice. I regret signing up and hope this review helps others avoid making the same mistake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PerformYard is visually appealing, customizable, and user friendly. This was also the easiest and most convenient implementation experience for any platform I've implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the only flaw that I've experienced is the goal setting workflow. When you assign a form employees still have access to the goals tab. I experienced a lot of employees going to the goals tab to enter the goals and not the workflow goals form. That creates duplicate work and goals that then need to be archived. It is wonderful if an employee follows the training and workflow, but there are some that just dive in and go straight for the goals tab. If you get this sorted the system will be flawless.

I like how user-friendly PerformYard is! It’s a great tool for keeping all employee information, evaluations, 360 evaluations, goals, and more in one place. It has made internal and team evaluations so much easier without the hassle of figuring out complex processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn’t say it’s a dislike, but PerformYard does require some time and training to fully understand how to use it effectively. However, the time invested is nothing compared to how much time it saves versus doing everything manually. One feature I’d love to see added is a built-in view document storage system where employee files can be uploaded and accessed directly within PerformYard, without relying on external platforms like Google Drive.

I love that PerformYard is streamlining our performance management throughout our company. We have gone from spreadsheets and constant emails to a consistent process where everyone knows the expectations. The system is easy to use, extremely customizable and convenient. It will really help elevate us to the next level from an associate development standpoint Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system could be easier to manage. I am still learning the system, but SO MANY clicks to set up reviews in the queue. That is my only gripe Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PerformYard has so many capabilities and it's super user friendly! The implementation and the customer service has been above and beyond what we expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the downsides of PerformYard is that all users (employees) need to have an email to get a login for the system. We have a lot of blue collar manufacturing workers that don't even have an email address. We also don't have a lot of emplyoees that have work emails, so everyone has to use their personal email for this. It would be nice if they could have a login using a phone number or something else.

It would also be nice if reviews could automatically launch based on hire date instead of manually adding employees to a group and then launching the review each month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PerformYard is highly user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to navigate and manage performance reviews. The centralized platform allows all performance management tasks to be streamlined in one place, which enhances productivity and organization. Its flexibility to customize forms and review processes ensures that it meets the specific needs of the organization. Additionally, the ability to provide feedback and track goals directly within the platform fosters accountability and continuous improvement.

Huge shoutout to Liz Triris. She has been instrumental in the implementation of this platform. Her attention to details and follow through is top notch. Her support and coaching has made the integration of PerformYard as easy for us as possible. Thank you Liz, for all that you do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform has many strengths, there are some areas for improvement. I wish organizations could customize dashboards even more to fit their specific needs and workflows. There could also be a more robust way to view and edit forms, making it easier to manage performance data effectively. Additionally, certain terms like 'Author' and other pre-set verbiage are not applicable to our organization, which can lead to confusion. Greater flexibility in customizing language throughout the platform would make it more user-friendly and aligned with our processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is user friendly. I can track my own growth and goals while providing a structured way to track and measure my development over time. We try to utilize it quarterly at minimum. Any time I accomplish something I can add it to my list, and it is transparent for my mentor as well when we have check-ins. It enables continuous feedback and encourages regular check-ins and real-time feedback rather than relying on annual reviews - this has been very beneficial for our mentoring program.

Potential for Micromanagement – If not used correctly, it can feel like constant surveillance rather than a tool for growth.

Lack of Context – Numbers and data don’t always tell the full story of someone’s performance, leaving room for misinterpretation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support from start to finish in set is great. It is really easy to use. The set up for our entire company was easy and the support that was given and that has continued is great. We love that we can schedule our reviews, set goals for employees, give feedback through out the year and store documents. We use this every day and are loving our experience.

We have no downsides to using this platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Onboarding was streamlined and guided. Jaina has been fantastic to work with. She is incredibly knowledgeable and efficient in assisting with the creation of my company's PerformYard platform. Integration with Gusto has also been incredibly beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More of a learning curve, the site is robust and learning to navigate and train the team has been the only small issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
