Khorus is is an Employee Performance Management solution. Some key features include At-a-Glance Business Performance, Predictive Measures, Goals and Status Updates, and Near-real-time Analytics.
Khorus just seemed like a waste of time and money. I'm not sure what it's well suited for, but there wasn't a way to objectively measure your tracking of goals. The visual was nice, but all the goals were so subjective and really not helpful. It's also quite possible that I had the wrong approach.
Quick adaption came from the ease of use and that is why I would recommend it. If you need more robust cascading goal capabilities you might have to work at it
It seems like a glorified spreadsheet at times with a cleaner interface.
The objectivity of goal tracking was absent.
I don't see that Khorus serves certain teams very well, such as a customer support team. Our goals don't change very often and the ones that we do have are very tedious to log.
We've experienced challenges beginning new review cycles without old cycles not being closed out
The UI is OK, but nothing special (a new version has been released, but we've not upgraded yet)
We currently don't have any sort of integration between ReviewSnap and our payroll system for hires/terms. I'm not sure if this is possible or not but wasn't discussed when we implemented it.
I much prefer Asana to Khorus. It's not only good at tracking but also a task manager. You can see that you are heading towards your goal in an objective approach, assuming that you laid out your project accordingly. Additionally, we use 15Five to get that extra insight as a manager to ask our team how they are doing and if they reached their goals, what's getting in the way, ect.
Reviewsnap has been comparable to most the systems I've used in the past. I wouldn't say that one of the systems I've used and mentioned above sticks out far above or below the others.
We ended up leaving Khorus and now use 15Five & Asana.
I think Khorus is a good idea but wasn't quite there in execution.
The initial creation of my goals was a good starting point for accomplishing them. I had to hash out the longterm solutions I was hoping to accomplish.
It's saved us a lot of paper and confusion. We used to use a lot of paper to track reviews from all over the organization. Now we use Reviewsnap to keep track of reviews and to use old reviews as reference when discussing goals.
The cloud-based system is great due to the fact that we have satellite offices around the US. You can even do a review from Alaska if required.
Initially the customer service was great and responsive during deployment. Once the deployment was complete, the HR director reported having a hard time contacting support.
