The demo looked like what we were looking for but it did not match our needs. We paid for a year and tried to use it but did not find value. They are now trying to force us to pay for 2 more years for a product we don't use. Thats as low as it gets for a business. You only see what they want to show you in a demo. Its dishonest to force people to pay for a product you don't use. We would never have signed up had we known. > > **Cons**: Not intuitive. Clunky to use,lacking scheduling ability, reporting is poor, was not as useful as expected. Company depends on forcing contracts rather than providing value. > > Seemed good during the demo but after signing up we found it lacking in the functionality we needed. It's clunky and not intuitive. My team did not find the value in it we hoped when we demoed it. We tried to use it for a few months and my team didn't see the value in it and did not want to use it. It took more time and effort than the benefit we saw. We paid for a year in advance and chose not to renew the contract. They then informed us that we had a 3 year NON CANCELABLE contract and are trying to force us to pay thousands per year for 2 more years for a product we don't use or find value in. What does this say about the company? Thats as terrible of an experience as any company can provide. . If a product provides value we'd keep using it. Evidently they think holding customers hostage and forcing them to pay whether they find value in the product or not is a good way to do business. It is not\!\! Only companies whose products or services are weak need to try to force contracts like this. We signed up in good faith thinking the product was more useful than it turned out to be. Its just crazy that they are trying to force us to pay for something we don't use or want. Buyer beware. There are tons of competitive products that do more, cost less and are willing to prove their value rather than depend on the dishonest and poor service business model that depends on holding people hostage. ----- ### "PerformYard is mostly good and reliable" — 5.0/5 > **Niketan** | *March 25, 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think the learning paths are fine or at least acceptable, however I wish there were a dark mode for my eyes. Being able to impersonate users is helpful when the employees can’t figure out how to use the social feed and I was pleasantly surprised that it did not crash this time. The user interface has improved. > > **Cons**: However, I find the platform to be extremely slow and the mobile app to be very clunky. The biggest issue is that I cannot award multiple badges in one single post to the same employee which is a tremendous waste of time and therefore the recognition process feels like an obligation since I have to repeat it. There is no spell checker available for creating goals which is simply poor design. > > I believe that remote workers feel a sense of connection via PerformYard. At least it’s better than the old manual spreadsheets we had for our 360 reviews. My personal goals match up to what the company wants to see so I keep the tab open to show that I’m moving my projects forward and they leave me alone. ----- ### "PerformYard makes performance reviews more structured" — 5.0/5 > **Sergey** | *October 17, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mostly review cycles and tracking our employee goals throughout the year and I really like how organized everything feels and it is really nice to have each review cycle clearly laid out and I don’t have to chase down my managers to update me on where everyone stands. I also created a form for collecting peer feedback prior to our review cycle and it contributed to a more balanced and equitable feelings about the evaluation. > > **Cons**: I appreciate how the admin interface has been designed, though I understand that it may feel a bit uncomfortable to some users particularly when it comes to setting up review templates and changing questions mid cycle and when goal tracking and review could be streamlined to fewer clicks. Those things may feel a bit cumbersome but I do not believe it significantly detracts from efficiency. > > PerformYard has allowed me to keep all our performance conversations and documentation in one place. Before, we were using spreadsheets and google docs and it was very messy and easy to lose sight of the feedback. Now everything from goals progress to review notes is all within one dashboard which you save hours of time and makes performance discussions much more structured and data driven. ----- ### "Much better than our old Excel spreadsheets" — 5.0/5 > **Eugene** | *January 13, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that everything (the reviews and the OKRs) are in one place so I don’t have to have a thousand tabs open. I was surprised how well the AI tool helped with writing feedback, most of these tools sound like they were written by robots. > > **Cons**: The mobile app is pretty bare bones, it really does very little. I have no idea why I’m getting manager training videos on my dashboard, I’m the Co-Founder , it makes zero sense. I feel like it is very plain and after a while it gets really dull and boring to fill out the forms. > > At least I don’t have my OKRs lost in a dead/spreadsheet anymore. At least my 1:1s are all in one spot (it feels a lot stiffer than just using a normal document). At least HR isn’t bugging me as often because they can see my progress without asking them. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/155747/performyard-talent?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/155747/performyard-talent) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
