We majorly use 30 days and 90 days feedback. Pros Anonymous Reviews, a very user-friendly tool, integration is easy and quick. Cons At times it's difficult for me to search for a specific report. Review Source MM Mariajose M. HR Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Agile platform for performance management" November 3, 2025 4.0 My overall experience with has been positive, especially because its a comprehensive performance management solution that transforms our evaluation processes, enabling us to achieve our goals. Its excellent, and I would definitely recommend it. Pros I like the flexibility in the process design and I value the ability to adapt and supplement the forms and evaluation cycles to align them, and I love its interface, its totally intuitive. Cons For now, I dont like is the employee synchronization with HRIS systems. bu the rest of the platform works well and I like it. Review Source JH Jamie H. Ceo Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good products don't need to hold you hostage" June 26, 2025 1.0 Seemed good during the demo but after signing up we found it lacking in the functionality we needed. It's clunky and not intuitive. My team did not find the value in it we hoped when we demoed it. We tried to use it for a few months and my team didn't see the value in it and did not want to use it. It took more time and effort than the benefit we saw. We paid for a year in advance and chose not to renew the contract. 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. What does this say about the company? Thats as terrible of an experience as any company can provide. . If a product provides value we'd keep using it. Evidently they think holding customers hostage and forcing them to pay whether they find value in the product or not is a good way to do business. It is not!! Only companies whose products or services are weak need to try to force contracts like this. We signed up in good faith thinking the product was more useful than it turned out to be. Its just crazy that they are trying to force us to pay for something we don't use or want. Buyer beware. There are tons of competitive products that do more, cost less and are willing to prove their value rather than depend on the dishonest and poor service business model that depends on holding people hostage. Pros It seemed like it would be useful but it was not for us. The demo looked like what we were looking for but it did not match our needs. We paid for a year and tried to use it but did not find value. They are now trying to force us to pay for 2 more years for a product we don't use. Thats as low as it gets for a business. You only see what they want to show you in a demo. Its dishonest to force people to pay for a product you don't use. We would never have signed up had we known. Cons Not intuitive. Clunky to use,lacking scheduling ability, reporting is poor, was not as useful as expected. Company depends on forcing contracts rather than providing value. Review Source HA Hasina A. 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. HR manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Alignment of objectives and Goodbye to complicated reviews" December 9, 2025 4.0 It has been a profound tool for performance management without the excessive complexity of suites, and it allows linking individual goals with those of the company Pros I appreciate that it adapts to different performance cycles, facilitates goal tracking, and automated reminders Cons Initially, configuring the system to reflect complex processes may require more learning time, that´s all.

Federal Programs Team Lead Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Terrible experience, do not use them!" 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 is a clear passage for employee and employer to monitor progress and attention to certain aspects of my position. Pros Accountability and transparency. 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 AO Alan O. Business Analyst Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perform Yard Review" January 14, 2025 4.0 Positive experience. The software effectively does it just job, but does not go above and beyond. Pros Very easy to use and navigate. Meets all basic needs and requirements related to function Cons Very basic - no advanced or special features 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 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 DP Diane P. Practice Administrator Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PY Product Review by D. Partridge, Sage Analysis Group, Inc. 2.12.21" February 12, 2021 5.0 The best part of our experience with has to be with the customer service. Our rep, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] knows how we function, is extremely helpful making suggestions, reworking forms streamlining tasks for us. We are a small group but have recently revamped all of our performance materials - \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been instrumental in our successful rollout. Pros I am getting better all the time at utilizing the software for our different needs and making sure that I can train our staff to be more independent. Features that work well are the profile set up, cycle launches, ability to edit through simple prompts. The forms look nice and are easily read. I've learned how to utilize more icons and tricks to get my tasks done more efficiently than in the beginning. Cons We found it difficult to format the text boxes with some symbols, bullets, etc. The texting is very straight forward and doesn't allow for easy organization of remarks. It would be better to be able to upload tables, or symbols, bold and separation effects to make reading long texts more easily defined. Multiple projects, data gathered, etc. become long run-on looking sentences. I'd like to be able to print an org chart that looks nice and other snapshots of screen for training seem to be low resolution quality and hard to duplicate. Alternatives considered [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Reason for choosing PerformYard We wanted something easy to use that met our complex needs that had the flexibility to meet our criteria for a consulting staff with a mix of clients & all types of project durations. Needing a tool that our staff could tailor to our specifications was very important. Review Source TO Tracy O. CHRO Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Partnership!" November 4, 2019 4.0 Pros What I like most are the people at ! From the initial interactions with the sales team to the implementation it was clear PerformYard was interested in being my partner in creating a high performing organization. Our account rep consults with me to understand and then find the best solutions for my company. She is a tremendous trainer and supports my learning style by getting on the phone with me when needed! She is friendly, professional, and savvy. The software is user friendly and administrator friendly. The feature I like most for our users are the dashboard, everything in the Goals tab, and the ability for folks to isolate their views with filters or "forms I need to do" section. The "Feedback" button is fast way to share feedback. Overall the software is aesthetically appealing; an important thing to highly visual architects and interior designers. Additionally, the pricing is fair. Cons Only two small things fall on my least list: I don't believe the "activity streams" on the dashboard or in goals are leveraged by our employees. Sometimes the back button does not take you to the previous page but all the way back to the front of the function. On my wishlist: The Feedback icon gives the ability to GIVE feedback to anyone in the organization. I wish we could have the same open design, but in the reverse; allowing anyone in my organization to REQUEST feedback from anyone in the organization. Having open design for both giving feedback and receiving feedback support a culture of feedback! I believe functionality like this would be a differentiator for in the performance market.
