Pros:

We can add people to it easily, it allows for dual supervisors, it integrates with our HRMS software and the price fit our budget nicely.

Cons:

I wish the product guide was a little more thorough. Maybe with items that showed the process of appraisals.

Paris Review of PAM

PerformancePAM's user-friendly, web-based program is what piqued the most interest.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Pros:

The transition from training to going live has gone extremely well due to on-demand training videos, manuals, and the responsive support team. The support team has been wonderful. The technical consultants have been exceptional and communicate easy to understand instructions.

Cons:

There was some work up front, but it was good work, because it gave me a chance to dissect all of our positions and really hone in on KPIs and responsibilities, getting us back to the basics of each position.

PAM Review

We were looking at three different options, and PerformancePAM gave us the most bang for our buck

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Pros:

We needed something green and timesaving like the web-based PerformancePAM My managers love the ability to see the status of all their team's appraisals at the same time Regarding the PerformancePAM support team they've been wonderful. Professional, helpful, and very knowledgeable

Cons:

PerformancePAM needed to be configured to meet the review procedure we had envisioned. But all our customizations were met We were on a very tight timeframe and we should have started the PAM process a little earlier than we did to ensure proper training was received; however, this was not a fault of the PerformancePAM group

Would recommend!

Since using PerformancePam our supervisors now have everything at their fingertips. The convenience and simplicity of how it integrates with HRMS software is extremely helpful! The implementation consultant was remarkable, friendly and nice- I felt like I had known her my whole life! The responses from support team are timely, I've not yet had to wait to receive help.
