AchieveIt

Excellent Performance Management Platform!

Comments: AchieveIt has allowed me to operated more efficiently.

Pros:

AchieveIt has made my work life so much easier. I am now able to easily track and monitor all the activities and performance measures for the Bank at the click of a mouse.

Cons:

I am unable to do some calculations in AchieveIt...I am able to work around it by downloading it in excel and calculating, however I would still love to be able to do more calculations in the platform itself...e.g. variance calculations.

Use of AchieveIt in a non-profit human service agency

Comments: AchieveIt is our primary platform for tracking strategic and quality improvement projects and metrics. It has helped to better organize that process and create consistency across the organization.

Pros:

Ease of use. Intuitive interface. Available in the cloud. Ability to track and view metric performance over time.

Cons:

The reporting built into the system is limited so sometimes we have work around those limitations to get the view of the data that we prefer. Particularly when it comes to combining data or managing metrics across multiple plans.

Alternatives Considered: Smartsheet

Reasons for Switching to AchieveIt: AchieveIt provided an easier way to track and view changes in metrics over time.

Keeping it Simple

Comments: Helps to keep leaders and team members focused on critical business needs.

Pros:

Simple and user friendly. I like the weekly reminders.

Cons:

None at this time. I'm a relatively new user and don't have any issues or concerns.

AchieveIt for Project Planning

Comments: We are using AchieveIt for project planning, business planning, strategy execution and we are moving towards using this software for individual performance evaluations based on deliverables accomplished throughout the year.

Pros:

This software is user-friendly and intuitive. After quickly obtaining how to use the product you soon start to uncover additional ways to integrate across multiple plans and projects, setting dependencies, creating tags when the project fits more than one category. The endless applications of this software is what I find most appealing.

Cons:

It is hard to pinpoint what I like least about this software, mainly due to the fact that AchieveIt has a great team in place and they are constantly using customer feedback to improve features that are lacking. As long as they receive communication as to what needs improved or addressed, they are quick to resolve and update their software and they are consistent with relaying a timeline for implementation.

AchieveIt Review

Comments: Absolute great experience working with the AchieveIt Team to structure our plans. Also very helpful is understanding our organization and adapting it for other uses such as project management.

Pros:

This product provides the most effective functionality for strategic planning and development of business plans that I have seen.

Cons:

Per-license cost structure is not terrible, but slightly limits bringing non-license holders into a planning process.
