What I like most about PerformYard Performance Management is how it makes performance tracking structured, transparent, and continuous, instead of feeling like a once-a-year review. It helps managers and employees align goals clearly, share ongoing feedback, and track progress in real time. I also appreciate how it supports professional development by turning progress into measurable insights. Overall, it encourages better accountability, stronger communication, and a more growth-focused workplace culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One potential drawback of PerformYard Performance Management is that, like many structured performance systems, it can feel time-consuming if it isn’t integrated smoothly into daily workflows. Some users may also find there’s a learning curve before they can fully adopt the platform. And if managers don’t consistently provide meaningful feedback, the process can end up feeling more administrative than developmental. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

“What I like best about PerformYard is its simplicity and flexibility. It allows us to manage quarterly performance reviews efficiently while customizing our evaluation process to fit our company’s specific goals, scoring structure, and feedback needs. I also appreciate the automated reminders and workflow tracking, which help keep managers accountable and ensure reviews are completed on time. The platform gives us a centralized place to document performance, support compensation decisions, and create consistency across departments." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I don’t like is that the company logo is so small on the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PerformYard is easy to use and the UI is clean, so it doesn’t take much training to get started. I especially like how clearly it shows performance goals that are set by my manager, along with progress and expectations in one place. The workflows feel structured (goals → check-ins/reviews → feedback), which helps keep performance conversations consistent and reduces back‑and‑forth in emails. It also makes it easier to stay organized during review cycles because everything is documented and easy to find later.

A few areas could be improved. Some screens require extra clicks to get to details, and filtering/searching could be more powerful (for example, quickly finding goals by time period, status, or category). Notifications can also be a bit too frequent during busy review periods, and I’d like more flexibility to customize what I receive. Reporting/exports could be more user-friendly with more ready-made dashboards for managers and employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This management system creates an easy to use platform for our performance reviews. The questions are thoughtful and really encourages all employees to think about how they would like to continue improving performances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to have different questions populate throughout the performance time period, if one question was asked on the first review, maybe changing some questioning for the second biannual review will be helpful to continue the conversation on performance changes.

Our organization recently switched to PerformYard for self-evaluations and direct-report performance reviews, and the transition has been seamless. The platform is easy to use—intuitive and efficient. As a first-time user, I’ve especially appreciated how straightforward everything feels, and I can’t say enough about how much I’m enjoying the side-by-side view feature. It makes it incredibly easy to reference my supervisees’ reviews while completing my own and when meeting with them, which helps the review sessions feel more organic and less time-consuming.

I’m looking forward to learning more as we continue to dive deeper into using PerformYard as a resource to improve our workflow. I am already wowed by the option to use the AI-powered REPHRASE button, which helps make my writing clearer and more succinct. Even without the straightforward training we received from PerformYard, I would have felt confident using this very intuitive platform.

I am overjoyed to have completed evaluations without the glitches of the previous system. I had no issues and did not relive the nightmare of work not being saved, having to copy/paste into documents to ensure I could pick up where I left off, and not being able to advance from one screen to the next with no explanation. This has already been, and I suspect will continue to be, a game-changer for our organization.

Thanks for making a not-so-fun part of my work life feel less like drudgery!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a first-time user, so I don't have much feedback here, but one thing I noticed is that my direct report can't view the review unless ALL signers have done so. It would be helpful for them to be able to access it as long as I, as the author, have signed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very helpful to have a dashboard where I can see everything that is going on. The onboarding process to learn to use the platform is straightforward, very clear. Entering goals and tracking the progress of each goal is great and I like that it is very visual so I can see how I am doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I may be missing something, but it would be nice if it had a Gantt chart/timeline kind of view to align the checklist to due dates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about PerformYard is its simple and interactive interface, which makes it very easy to use for both managers and employees. The platform makes it straightforward to manage performance reviews, set goals, and track employee progress in one centralized place.

While PerformYard works well overall, there are a few areas where improvements could be helpful. Some of the reporting and analytics features could be more advanced to provide deeper insights into employee performance and review trends. Additionally, certain workflows require multiple steps, which can make the process slightly time-consuming for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The upside is that I can freely express my thoughts about my job scope and better understand how I can grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any that I can think of right now. I really enjoy how easy it is to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is very user friendly and easy to use. It is easy to follow and track responses from manger and overall experience was simplified. I can appreciate not getting frustrated over a simple task of entering goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing about Perform Yard itself it is just a bit tedious when having to do this altogether. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how the platform makes it so easy for folks that arent confident in writing reviews put down all their hard work for their manager to fairly gauge where they are at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe using a talk to text feature to help folks that arent good at typing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
