How should I evaluate Performance Management vendors?
Shortlist two or three tools that match your company size and budget, then check them on the things that are expensive to change later: how much setup they need before they are useful, whether they integrate with the systems you already run, how your data can be exported if you leave, and what support you get on your plan. Ask each vendor for a demo using your own data rather than their sample data — and where a tool offers a trial, run it with the people who will use it daily.
