Excellent Performance Management Platform!
AchieveIt has allowed me to operated more efficiently.
PROSAchieveIt has made my work life so much easier. I am now able to easily track and monitor all the activities and performance measures for the Bank at the click of a mouse.
CONSI am unable to do some calculations in AchieveIt...I am able to work around it by downloading it in excel and calculating, however I would still love to be able to do more calculations in the platform itself...e.g. variance calculations.
Vendor Response
Candice, thank you so much for the feedback. We look forward to working with you to make those calculations easier in the future.

Use of AchieveIt in a non-profit human service agency
AchieveIt is our primary platform for tracking strategic and quality improvement projects and metrics. It has helped to better organize that process and create consistency across the organization.
PROSEase of use. Intuitive interface. Available in the cloud. Ability to track and view metric performance over time.
CONSThe reporting built into the system is limited so sometimes we have work around those limitations to get the view of the data that we prefer. Particularly when it comes to combining data or managing metrics across multiple plans.
Reason for choosing AchieveIt
AchieveIt provided an easier way to track and view changes in metrics over time.
Vendor Response
Thanks so much for your thoughts on AchieveIt, Greg! Your team has done a great job developing your new tracking process, so we're glad to hear AcheiveIt is giving you the visibility you need to support that. Thanks for the feedback on reporting - we're always looking for ways to improve.

AchieveIt for Project Planning
We are using AchieveIt for project planning, business planning, strategy execution and we are moving towards using this software for individual performance evaluations based on deliverables accomplished throughout the year.
PROSThis software is user-friendly and intuitive. After quickly obtaining how to use the product you soon start to uncover additional ways to integrate across multiple plans and projects, setting dependencies, creating tags when the project fits more than one category. The endless applications of this software is what I find most appealing.
CONSIt is hard to pinpoint what I like least about this software, mainly due to the fact that AchieveIt has a great team in place and they are constantly using customer feedback to improve features that are lacking. As long as they receive communication as to what needs improved or addressed, they are quick to resolve and update their software and they are consistent with relaying a timeline for implementation.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments, Rebekah! We love working with you to make our software more effective for your team.

AchieveIt Review
Absolute great experience working with the AchieveIt Team to structure our plans. Also very helpful is understanding our organization and adapting it for other uses such as project management.
PROSThis product provides the most effective functionality for strategic planning and development of business plans that I have seen.
CONSPer-license cost structure is not terrible, but slightly limits bringing non-license holders into a planning process.
Reason for choosing AchieveIt
AchieveIt has the most relevant functionality for our needs.

Great Platform and Support
AchieveIt is a great group of people that are helpful and supportive. Their team is extremely responsive, and are willing to not only provide technical support, but help us understand best practices. The tool is very intuitive and built well. It responds fast, so we are able to pull the platform up "live" in meetings and make updates, build dashboards, or make edits to plans.
PROSThis platform is very easy to use, meets our needs, and can be used on the fly in meetings. We have expanded how we use the tool due to its ease of use and interest from other departments or units that might be doing work manually in Excel or PowerPoint.
CONSIt's not there is something that we don't like - in some cases, it is that we are used to something being a particular way and are working with support to 1) find a solution or 2) possibly have the functionality built.
Vendor Response
Allison, thanks so much for your review! We're so glad that we provide the support you need to more effectively execute your plans. Keep up the great work!

Strategic Planning Software
AchieveIt is very responsive to customer requests and questions. The customer support team provided initial set up of the plan and checks in frequently regarding our needs. Having just completed the three-year strategic planning cycle when we initially contracted with AchieveIt, we are renewing and moving forward with the software as we start our new plan.
PROSAchieveIt allows our school district to easily track progress toward the goals, strategic objectives, and key measures in our strategic plan. Each individual component can be assigned to a specific owner, and the reporting frequency can be customized easily. In addition, the automated reminders help keep our team on track.
CONSSome of the features for multi-year tracking of performance are not as intuitive to set up as I would prefer. However, we are seeking some additional training as we move into a new strategic planning cycle so that we have a better understanding moving forward.
Vendor Response
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review, Lisa. We love working with you!

AchieveIt at UW Health
The transparency provided by utilizing AchieveIt has been much appreciated within the organization.
PROSAbility to see at quick glance the organization's progress toward meeting strategic initiatives.
CONSWhile the system stores historical information, it is not easy to extract/report on; only information for the current reporting period is easily obtainable (we update progress on a monthly basis). We've developed processes outside of AchieveIt to ensure we can produce trending information when needed.

Thanks for the feedback, Samantha! We're glad to be working with you on building even better reporting options for our platform.

AchieveIt Makes It Easy
The support team is fantastic and responsive.
PROSI use it as a repository for all strategic actions and proof of accomplishments. At the end of the fiscal year, we use the tool to review our progress. AcheiveIt makes it easy to monitor our status and progress.
CONSSince we are a non-profit, the license costs are a bit steep if I wanted to expand the usage beyond the 10 member leadership team, we cannot afford $1,000 per head to bring the next level of management (Directors) on board. That would be an additional $20K per year. It's not a Project Management tool, but with a little bit of foresight, I can see how one could write a spin-off version with the same technology that allows one to track tasks by personnel on a work package, and track the status of the work package as a function of time.
Reasons for switching to AchieveIt
AchieveIt was easier to implement with better functionality.
Vendor Response
Hi Anthony, thanks so much for your review! So glad AchieveIt is able to help you and your team at USRA not only keep track of your progress, but to also clearly tie actions to results. We're always adding enhancements to AchieveIt, so thank you for your project tracking feedback.

AchieveIT delivers an Organizational Performance Solution
We like everything about the AchieveIT Software! The AchieveIT product was easy to implement, easy to administer, and had an incredibly high adoption rate from our end-users.
CONSSo far, there isn't anything we don't like about the software or customer support experience.
Reason for choosing AchieveIt
We chose AchieveIT over other competitors because it was the best fit for our agency, could be tailored to meet our reporting needs, and didn't require a high level of admirative oversight.
Reasons for switching to AchieveIt

It's a great tool but has some limitations
Honestly, even despite the limitations, it's been positive. They've helped me work through issues and given me insight on how to make the job of our users better. I appreciate everyone's efforts. It's evident they enjoy working for this organization, as it shows in their quality of customer service!
PROSThe customer service! They're so friendly and answer all my questions. Their turnaround time is magnificently quick, and I truly feel like a valued customer. Thank you!
CONSThe fact that the tool is not as intuitive as I would like leads me to constantly have to ask for help. Additionally, when I ask about particular features, like if automating a certain type of report is possible, I come across barriers. Usually, they're rooted in the fact their engineering team cannot just "fix" it or create a solution.
