Trakstar

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

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.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

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

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We had used spreadsheets for keeping track of the reviews. It can be painful and frustrating to keep track of more than 200 employees’ scores, we were losing track of who had completed the tasks. Now with Trakstar we are able to keep track of everything and to see who has completed the evaluations. I like that the scores are calculated automatically.

I used other tools but they didn’t offer features that this product offers.
