Trakstar Review

PROS: We can easily track our employee’s completion, self-evaluations and managing reviews. As admins we are able to review and see each employee’s process so we can provide coaching if needed. Its autoreminders for completing appraisals saves huge amount of time and helps us to stay on the track. I love that all appraisals and scores are in one place instead on the paper.

CONS: They have improved their navigation system, but I think it needs more improvements.

PROS: Trakstar is straightforward and easy to use tool from a reviewer point of view. I like its dashboard. We immediately receive information about our company’s performance thanks to the review cycle. We are able to put things into new perspective and to get total number of reviews.

CONS: From an admin point of view, this tool can be cumbersome. Adjusting templates is not as intuitive as it should be. We have spent more than 8hrs for updating templates. We haven’t used all its features because it can be really confusing to know what is available.

PROS: Trakstar is intuitive and easy to use software. It offers intuitive interface and it is visually appealing. It makes meetings and performance reviews 1:1. We have been searching for a product that would help us to make the reviews easy to perform and thankfully we have found this tool that makes the whole process fun.

CONS: In my experience, the set-up of new job competency is time-consuming. This one takes some time and energy. But on the other side, this program makes the process more intuitive and understandable.

PROS: Trakstar is great product. It is simple, intuitive and easy to use. This is powerful software that allows lot of feedback, better planning and many other benefits. It has simple structure that allows us to make changes easily and to correct mistakes within the structure. I love the role of an admin, because it allows me to see what the users are looking at and what functions they are using. It saves lot of time in finding answers. When it comes to price I have to say that the product is affordable and one of the best in the market.

CONS: We are very satisfied from this product, we don’t have any dislikes.

PROS: I used other tools but they didn’t offer features that this product offers. Trakstar allows me to take notes on each employee’s behavior so I can access from stream of consciousness to some formal behaviors at the end of each review cycle. Our managers have tools so they can make less generalizations to their employees.

CONS: The interface for updating new positions can be cumbersome. I would like to add a title and to reassign tasks.

PROS: With Trakstar I can easily implement and customize our needs. I can work with our performance management strategy. This software takes care of lot of work for creating new performance programs and it provides great set of tools that are extremely helpful for our employees and managers. This tool is affordable and it provides great value to our organization.

PROS: I like the automation and workflow. This tool make it easy to stay on the top of the reviews. I love the ability to leave notes during quarter. This feature can be used by both employees and managers. I am able to take a look at a review so I can have better view on what’s done over past months or days.

CONS: I have some confusions about some things, for e.g. I’m able to run some reports but other managers can’t, or I can see some things and other managers can’t.

PROS: We had great initial process. We are placed in Australia and we had great communication with Trakstar team. I’m really satisfied from Matt because he was extremely patient during the set-up. I like the “GoToMeetings” it is great option for interaction and setting up. I love that I’m able to customize templates, goal setting and interactivity for all our employees including managers.

CONS: The process of customizing templates and reviewing the usefulness can be boring sometimes, but big thanks to their customer team they make everything to meet our needs.

PROS: The product is customizable, we can easily create performance review so we can align with the job descriptions. Our employees and managers can add notes about their accomplishments and to add in to the employee review. We get reminders and status notifications to the managers and employees. I don’t have to track employees’ performances reviews manually.

CONS: I cannot think of any dislikes.

PROS: We use Trakstar for more than 6 years within our organization. Personally I’m using it 4 years. This is great tool for employee self-appraisals and supervisor appraisals on employees. Trakstar has been improved and they have implemented some changes that I really like. This product is easy to use, easy to set up and easy to monitor. The customer service is responsible and helpful.

CONS: They constantly improve the product, so I cannot really say that I have some dislikes.

PROS: I love that I can easily setup templates and create new positions. The software is nice and user-friendly for both managers and employees. Everyone in our company is using this software and we have experienced great success. By keeping track of certain items we are able to achieve and maintain goals in more effective way. I love to work with its support team, we have great experience with them. They are always available via email, phone, skype or live presentations. They are knowledgeable and fantastic team.

CONS: They could make the reporting features more robust especially for compiling a list of users and their reviews.
