Performance Impact Workplace

Summary: Helps me manage more effectively
Review: Major upgrade from KnowledgePoint's Performanace Now Enterprise software. Simple Outlook-like interface makes it fast and easy to manage people. My problem is following-up on goals set with employees. Now I just put a Task in Outlook to check PI Workplace every 2 days for reminders. PI Workplace reminds me when to follow-up on the goals and makes it easy to jot down notes on progress. Performance reviews take less than half the time, yet are much more comprehensive. Super solution I recommend to anyone seeking to be more effective in managing their team.

Summary: Terrible user interface. Keep looking.
Review: We've been using this software for the past two years and it is not by the choice of the managers or the employees actually using the product. The user interface is simply not acceptable in 2004. It is difficult to copy and paste, you need to be careful not to hit the backspace button on your browser or you may lose data, you drill down numerous levels to get to some views, then must find the "done" button to exit back -- and the location of the done button varies from one page to the next.

There must be better packages available. If you have a choice, keep looking. If you have been given this software to use, you have my sympathy.
