Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Trakstar Perform to do our 90 day and annual review process. It helped us to solve for keeping track of and monitor our 90 day and annual reviews. It automatically sends reminders to the managers and employees when there is a step in the process for them to complete. It makes it very easy to track and give employees immediate feedback along with helping the managers to see what type of skills and goals the employee needs to accomplish.

Pros

Aesthetically pleasing interface
Reminders of tasks to complete

Complete list of competencies

Cons

Administrative set-up
Complicated approval system
Naming conventions for functions

Human Resources Manager in Human Resources at FACTS Engineering LLC (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

Support is great
Fairly easy to set up
Very easy to use

Cons

Trakstar Perform is designed for a ratings based style of review. We opted for a narrative review. The system was able to accommodate us however the reporting functionality doesn't work for the format we chose.
The terminology for the different parts of the platform is confusing.
While the support is great, there is not a lot of training on how to set up reviews, surveys, etc. on your own.

Return on Investment

Easy to use, automated review process that employees like
