What to look for in performance management software

The best performance management software for you depends on how your business works, not only on where a product sits in the list. Before you shortlist the top-ranked options, check for:

  • Goals or OKRs that cascade from company to team to individual
  • Continuous feedback and one-to-ones, not only an annual review
  • Review cycles you can configure: self, manager, peer and 360
  • Calibration views, so ratings are fair across teams
  • Links to development plans, pay and promotion decisions
  • Reports on completion, ratings and trends

How to use this ranking

Start with the top 10, then narrow down with Best performance management software by category further down the page, which ranks the same feature inside each kind of software. Read the reviews on each profile, and ask vendors to show you the points above with your own data before you decide.

Best performance management software by category

The same feature, ranked inside each kind of software. 74 categories in all; these 13 have 5 or more products.

How is this list of the top performance management software worked out?

TrustList ranks every product that offers performance management, whichever software category it is filed under, by its rating, how many reviews it has and how complete its profile is. No one can pay for a position in this list. Where few products have reviews yet, profile completeness carries more weight, so treat the order as a shortlist to check rather than a verdict.

Is the top-ranked product the best performance management software for everyone?

No. A small team, a growing business and a large enterprise need different things from performance management software. Use the checklist above and the rankings by category to find the best fit, and give most weight to reviews from companies like yours.

How often does the ranking change?

The order is recalculated as new reviews arrive and vendors update their profiles, so the list you see is the current one.
