For us it has improved compliance \& cost cost management significantly - Online onboarding - esignature approval is great feature\! > > **Cons**: - It can be costly to make custom changes to the platform post implementation - At some points the process the system could be more intuitive, we have overcome this with training and support ----- ### "Peoplestreme Review" — 5.0/5 > **Michelle** | *15 July 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability for the software to grow and able to easily add and change templates and processes > > **Cons**: Not always smooth and step by step. Alot of going in and out of stages > > Staff are friendly. If I have had an issue or question it has been resolved quickly. ----- ### "Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere" — 1.0/5 > **Barry** | *17 December 2020* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing that is worth writing about. > > **Cons**: It's slow, not interconnected, limited in capability > > We were sold a puppy when we purchased this software. The salesman promised the world and the reality of what has been delivered is quite underwhelming compared to the previous software we used. We have escalated on three occassions and each time have been given a different senior executive to talk to, each promising to fix the issues, but nothing being done. They seem to worry more about their restructure, than they do solving client issues. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere. ----- ### "Peoplestream staff have been a pleasure to deal with, outstanding professionalism, great product." — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *12 April 2018* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: At Emmetts we are pleased with our choice after reviewing many options. Employees have adjusted quickly to the system following initial training and change management support from the PeopleStream staff. The design of the software makes it very easy to use, following processes is intuitive and flows well. Reporting functionality has given us a more timely line of site to progress on strategic and key objectives across 12 locations. We love that we no longer have a paper chase on reviews, with this tool we have confidently increased increased the frequency of 1:1's. > > **Cons**: That we did not find it sooner, we have found that implementing this software has improved our performance management process. > > Implementing this software as a tool in our performance management process has lead to improvements in alignment, engagement and outcomes.

While using the search function, it allows us to find a candidate easily, and it saves our organization thousands through efficient recruitment. It saves a lot of my time and support for the products is excellent. > > **Cons**: The control panel is difficult for us to navigate and to get an idea where particular fields or areas can be customized. When we utilized, the back end reporting is messy. We also suffered some of the initial difficulties with Single Sign-On and logins. > > This software has taken our organization from a paper-based performance system to a streamlined, accountable and precise policy that is easily accessible by me. It removes the manual paperwork and results in improving outcomes, engagement, and alignments. I can review the progress and take necessary steps to make sure we as a team are gaining our principle objectives. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/108573/peoplestreme-performance-management?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/108573/peoplestreme-performance-management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | ----- ## Structured Data
