Khorus Reviews & Product Details

I like the concept/theory of this platform. It was nice being able to do internal review/feedback on teammates and also receive feedback about myself as well. I believe that there is great potential in the product and just was not able to be realized by my company and its vision of utilization of the platform. I think other organizations could highly benefit from this system though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like the execution of this platform. It was very poorly designed and administered. Almost felt incomplete at times. There was definitely more to be desired and very much lacking that needed to be improved upon. There was always visual glitches and lag in the platform, as well as attributed errors at what seemed like every single turn. When trying to utilize this within our company, it ended up basically being sidelined and forgotten about over time since everyone was frustrated with not being able to utilize it correctly.

I find Spredfast successful. I have used similar platforms in my previous work and even in my current company, and nothing is comparable to Spredfast. The platform is intuitive, but when I'm confused or if I can be more productive, I use one for coaching. They are extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is not capable of doing what I need, sometimes it's hard for the platform to do what I need for social listening and intelligence. Finding is not always intuitive if you don't know how to get what you need. While it is difficult to use it in certain situations, we have found that Spredfast is not a lack of functionality and talent, but a lack of training and experience using the platform that creates problems for us.

Just set our goals and helps us in execution of the projects, helps asighn duties of the projects to the workers and also shows us the progress of each worker on his duty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just lgenerally like it and dont see any bad side of it for my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick and easy way to understand the status of strategic initiatives. Too many managers get surprised at the end of a quarter when an objective is missed -- even though employees knew all along. The Khorus software is an indispensable tool to align employee efforts to achieve corporate goals and creates fact-driven conversation space(s).

I also like the light-weight employee evaluation module ("Talent"). Again, it creates a rhythm to having bi-directional conversations about ways team members and managers can improve their performance.

The system sends automatic reminders to employees once a week so there is no excuse to update and the helpful dashboards give a synopsis when goals aren't completed/updated/etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No negatives. (Now how do I write that in 40 characters?) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to update progress on a weekly basis. Too often goals are set at beginning of quarter and individuals and teams don't even revisit the actual outcomes until 2 weeks after the quarter ended. The result is they chose to react to the biggest fires of the day and not commit to the goals they determined were key in order for the organization to meet it's key objectives.

People see goals and the talent module and think Khorus is (or should be) something else that what is truly is - a strategic planning tool designed to give the CEO impactful insights into how the organization is performing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Khorus is an excellent tool for ensuring everyone in the org is aligned to the strategic objectives. All employees know how their work supports the company's mission and goals.

Weekly insights from all employees provide early warning when important initiatives are at risk so that management can take action to avoid downstream impacts. At-a-glance dashboards pinpoint the risk areas.

It is a great tool for keeping meetings between managers and employees focused on the important things.

Its efficient employee performance management (review) process is so much better than traditional methods. It keeps the review focused on performance against clearly defined goals instead of arbitrary and subjective manager comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the navigation is not as intuitive as I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it breaks the year down into 12 week increments and "forces" employees to truly stop and evaluate what they can accomplish during that time.

The ability to view my team's and the company's goals allows for transparency with their work and accountability their work effort. This translates to leaders being able to intervene in a timely manner when issues arise and thus help team members in getting their goal back on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it reinforces intentionality with work efforts, there are times when I find that employees are just checking the box until the quarter begins to wind down. THEN they start to really evaluate, mark the update correctly, and log notes to justify short-comings, etc. I'm not sure what can be done to assist with this, but have wondered about different questions, required notes, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that quarterly as the CEO, it requires me to think about the direction of the company and communicate those priorities to every level of the company. I like that is on line and accessible anytime and anywhere. Most importantly, the transparency related to performance is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the product and I appreciate the way in which they are constantly taking feedback and improving the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Khorus is a great tool for creating a streamlined organization. The top-down approach to goal setting, allows alignment from the CEO to the individual contributor required to achieve company goals. I love the personal accountability that comes with updating goals on a weekly basis to identify potential issues and the ability to show how I'm directly contributing to company goals.

Some of the internal navigation wasn't initially intuitive for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program is simple to use. That makes it great for setting goals, and keeping to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The measurement side of things could use a little work. The data is there, but not as easy to access as it could be, meaning some lost time pouring over information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
