### Most mentioned pros

- This Platform allows us to put all of our Goals and Peer Reviews and Manager Check-Ins in One Spot, therefore I actually know what my manager expects from me.
- The nice thing about performanceyard is that the learning library and feedback tool are both located within the same area allowing me to see what is pending without having to switch back and forth between five other systems.
- I also like being able to view our organizational chart and who reports to whom, all without having to go through multiple spreadsheets and also I think the AI tone helper thing has been somewhat helpful in writing positive peer reviews with out sounding negative.

### Most mentioned cons

- There are also way too many steps to get from my Current Goals Page to a Feedback Note from like 3 months ago. When I'm reading, the Support Chat Bubble blocks the lower Right Hand Corner of the Screen which bothers me.
- Before moving to performanceyard, our performance tracking was nothing more than random paperwork and no one had any idea where they stood regarding their promotion or even what goals they had met.
- Every single time I attempt to view the different report categories using the back button I am completely logged out of the application.

Great from the first ad I saw in my FaceBook feed to my first demo. Excellent shepherding through the sales process and great onboarding. Could not be happier with our decision.

#### Pros

We had a terrible manual, impossible to gauge compliance performance management process. In theory, we were doing all the right things but we needed Perform Yard to help us manage for compliance and better adoption. The extra benefits of reporting, goal setting, onboarding check lists and document storage are superb as well.

#### Cons

Nothing yet. so far our experience has been superb. Even the set up was easy with our dedicated customer success manager.

#### Reasons for choosing PerformYard

Timing and a great experience with the PerformYard sale team

Used to use spreadsheets and they were a complete disaster, all those broken cells. At least with this, the documents don’t get lost in the void of email, which is great. Just helps with the overall chaos.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5

#### Pros

PerformYard has taken both the review and the goal and put it in one spot and no, it’s not Windows 95. I figured it would be one more broken tool, and you know what? My notifications are pinging me, reminded me about the admin work.

#### Cons

Too many buttons sometime, and I get lost in the menus. The grading scale is silly. It’s always 1-5 for everyone and this isn’t fair for a new person. How can a Junior get a 5? And I had to do manual entry for absence policies and that sucked, had to click a lot.

#### Reasons for switching to PerformYard

I switched because Leapsome is more expensive.

Highly dissatisfied with the sales pitch we received and learning that PerformYard is not the right fit for us at all. Despite numerous requests to opt out of our contract, the higher ups informed us that was not happening.

#### Pros

Our Customer Success Manager and the support team were available in a timely manner and tried to help.

#### Cons

- Not seamless or efficient when it comes to the navigation and the process of assigning peer feedback and seeing average scores. - Time consuming to have to reach out to hop on a Zoom call or phone call to get assistance with ongoing issues. - PerformYard did not provide the seamless process we were guaranteed upon signing up. - They do not allow you to opt out of your contract. We had a stipulation in place that allowed to opt out if we were not satisfied within 1-year. We missed the deadline by a few months and they will not honor it. - Highly recommend you check out other Performance Management software over Performyard.

#### Reasons for choosing PerformYard

The sales pitch provided to us seemed to be the right fit however, after ongoing issues and the complexities of simple tasks, we should have gone with one of the other products.

### PerformYard lets me see my team goals without any hassle

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Rajvir M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: June 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Before moving to performanceyard, our performance tracking was nothing more than random paperwork and no one had any idea where they stood regarding their promotion or even what goals they had met. Now, performanceyard allows us to keep a clear record of each employee's check-ins and milestone achievements directly on their profile pages, allowing managers to evaluate employees in a fair manner.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I am using this system every day to pull up my monthly reviews, as well as my quarterly one-on-one meetings with my manager. The nice thing about performanceyard is that the learning library and feedback tool are both located within the same area allowing me to see what is pending without having to switch back and forth between five other systems. I am able to log into performanceyard through okta and google sso, making it easier for me because i do not need to remember yet another ridiculous password.

#### Cons

The administration aspect of performanceyard has been somewhat difficult to understand and building out the first few templates from the ground up takes way too long. Also, when there is a technical issue with the system, or the website is experiencing high usage by users, the training courses tend to simply stop mid-course (not continuing where you had stopped) and force you to start over from the very beginning of the entire course, wasting your time and being frustrating.

### PerformYard beats our google form set-up by a great margin

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Sean N.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Computer Software
- Company size: 201-500 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: March 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

This system has given us a formal structure - reviews are completed on-time, managers now have something to use when discussing promotions with employees and peer feedback is not lost in a manager’s email. Additionally, it replaced a paper based system for some of the teams. Being able to pull reports without having to build them from scratch is the biggest benefit.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Okay, the one thing that actually matters - prior to PerformYard, we were using Google forms to conduct peer reviews and receiving a massive excel file that the managers would have to sort through on their own. Now all of the questions, ratings and peer feedback are laid out in one view, and can be read. The 360 degree review layout is really good and the customer support is responsive, almost too responsive - I didn’t think that was possible. Coffee shop is loud today but I am going to press on with this.

#### Cons

Bulk edits are a pain. If you are running multiple review processes - for example, new hire reviews, and annual reviews - it is very frustrating to try and adjust a rating scale without causing issues with both, I have spent hours on this alone. There is also no ability to bulk delete completed or cancelled items, you have to go one at a time. It is the type of thing that causes people to sit staring at the ceiling. Petty gripe - there are two acknowledgement steps in the approval process and they depend on where you are in the flow, managers consistently miss the second one, and thus I am left to deal with the issue.

### Performyard Review

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Levchenko A.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Additionally, we are able to track our remote workers' goal setting through the system. If like myself you get completely lost in the Admin Menu Area, Customer Support Chat Responds Promptly. We've found the 360 Degree Reviews to be okay, too, especially since our Work Style is a mix of many different Clients in a Team Based Environment rather than the Traditional Hierarchical Structure.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

PerformYard does a great job doing the review part without having to crash the entire system (a total loss); you can award badges or some sort of recognition, and there appears to be an online "Learning Library" of sorts.

#### Cons

Also nice is when reminders pop-up on my computer screen every time it's time for the quarterly performance reviews...I tend to forget. There isn't a grammar/spelling tool available for me to use while writing formal performance reviews. The Quarterly Check-In Listing will show exactly 3 (3) days before the deadlines but once shown, these listings are open for TWO WEEKS after the deadline. Sometimes the site loads VERY SLOWLY. Pulling reports from the last 90 days is very difficult. Finding employees by name (or whatever criteria you wish) who didn't get reviewed is a complete nightmare.

### PerformYard works well for team goals and peer feedback

Before PerformYard, We had our Goals in Spreadsheets and Reviews in Emails, Everything was totally unorganized. This Platform allows us to put all of our Goals and Peer Reviews and Manager Check-Ins in One Spot, therefore I actually know what my manager expects from me. It prevents People from Only Remembering What You Did Last Week During the Year End Review. Gladly it doesn't break down when we all log in at the same time to complete Evaluations.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I love that the 1 to 1 meeting tracking feature keeps previous weeks notes so i don’t forget what my manager and i talked about and also the slack integration reminds me via messages, which is great since i’m always logged into it anyway. I also like being able to view our organizational chart and who reports to whom, all without having to go through multiple spreadsheets and also I think the AI tone helper thing has been somewhat helpful in writing positive peer reviews with out sounding negative.

#### Cons

The Search bar is somewhat frustrating when I try to locate an older Training Course I've completed. There are also way too many steps to get from my Current Goals Page to a Feedback Note from like 3 months ago. When I'm reading, the Support Chat Bubble blocks the lower Right Hand Corner of the Screen which bothers me.

Our managers no longer take months to create an actionable plan, they receive one in about 10 minutes due to the automated process that occurs after inputting data into the system.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

These heatmap things help identify areas that are causing people to quit, and you do not have to dig through multiple spreadsheets to find those areas. Right now I’m sitting at my messiest desk sipping on cold coffee trying to get this done as quickly as possible; however, their AI summary tool did not fail us when we ran our large-scale survey. Also, the support staff people answer you back in support chat and remember where you left off if you had to leave and then came back. They also provide us with benchmarking data of other technology companies so our board has some type of reference point (other than asking us) to understand how we stack up against others.

#### Cons

During our live review cycle in the middle of it, PerformYard moved where the reports lived which destroyed the dailies we send to the CEO and illy provided us with nothing but raw data trash. Every single time I attempt to view the different report categories using the back button I am completely logged out of the application. Additionally, comparing your current score to your previous years’ scores is not easy to accomplish.

### Significant time savings and increased mobility for Talent Management

It allows me to monitor employee shift performance directly from my phone, making it easy to monitor from anywhere in the plant. The interface is very intuitive and clean, and the price is quite affordable

#### Cons

I´m disappointed that it doesn´t include attendance taking to record employee clock-in times. This forces us to integrate an external tool to manage schedules; it would be ideal if it had this feature built-in

### Solid performer, great customer support

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Tom D.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Management Consulting
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: October 2019
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

We have now used PerformYard for one full employee review cycle for the whole firm. From an administrative point of view, there were just a few minor hiccups, and to call them "hiccups" is a bit unfair. The tool worked just fine, but we had some straightforward learning curve issues. Our process first solicited names for a 360 review, then got feedback from those identified, a self-evaluation, and then a final summary evaluation by the manager. I had to field far fewer user questions than I expected. I'll give some credit to our clever workforce, but it also tells me that the PerformYard tool is, by and large, intuitive and easy to use.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

A few things stand out as positives for us. First, it was really easy to get things running. It was really just a matter of a few hours of invested time to be in a position to start testing our first review cycle. The biggest effort was transforming our crude employee data into a uniform spreadsheet so we could upload it. That took some manual work. It's easy to design and implement a review form. We have found that the building blocks offered by PerformYard have met our needs just fine. As noted elsewhere, it's easy to dump out ALL of the data associated with a review. This was unexpected, but we use it all the time. A big win in our book. We have also enjoyed fantastic customer support. Online materials are generally solid, and staff is readily available when we bump into something we can't figure out on our own.

#### Cons

A few things have been a bit harder than expected. One that stands out is setting up a 360 evaluation, which was more manual than it seems would be necessary. Room for improvement for PerformYard (or maybe we missed something). I've also heard a little grumbling about losing edits in various ways. I think this is perhaps just the peril of using a web-based tool. You have to get used to navigating deliberately -- and, of course, regularly saving your work. The tool won't necessarily remind you to do so. We are an analytics consulting firm, so we dump out the review cycle data (which is totally comprehensive; no complaints there!), and then we generate our own reports to track status, compare performance, and generally sift and sort the data. We just played a little with PerformYard's built-in reporting capabilities, but we quickly concluded that we would want more. These are, though, minor complaints. The tool has comfortably met our expectations.

#### Reasons for choosing PerformYard

We were focused on enabling two things at our firm: regular performance reviews and ad hoc feedback. PerformYard had the right balance of features we needed without too many that we didn't need. One very important factor in our decision was philosophical agreement on allowing private, peer-to-peer feedback without necessarily including the recipient's manager. We also liked the "modern" web-based UI.

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.

#### 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).

The experience with it so far has been nothing short of satisfactory, convenient, and extremely accessible. There really isn't much negative to say about it other than we don't use it enough and seem to take it for granted.

What I like the most about PerformYard is that it is extremely user-friendly, it contains all of the vital information that I need all sitting at once on the dashboard, and our company uses software for an important reason which is to give the employees an opportunity to write down their personal & professional goals and check in on them at any given time.

#### Cons

The only thing that I like least about PerformYard is that we don't use it enough for other items that would help the employees and even the company as a whole. I firmly believe that we can more use out of this software instead of only using it for employee appraisal and writing down your goals.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons 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.
