![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f55ff47b6d23a11cb496a69/650d4fb6c4fd96c8759c2c79_Listicles_header_Lattice.webp)
A company’s success depends on its people — that’s why forward-thinking managers ask themselves how they can enable employees to perform at their best. Performance management solutions like Lattice accomplish that by setting clear expectations, providing guidance, and measuring progress.
However, you need to choose a platform that aligns with your organization’s specific needs, and that might not be Lattice. While it’s a leading performance management software, Lattice has some downsides:
- No built-in or integrated learning management systems (LMS)
- Some modules lack in-depth analytics, for example, performance data can’t be aggregated across review cycles
- Lower adoption rates compared to competitors
- A lack of customization options
- Support is limited to English language speakers
To support you in finding the right solution, we’ve researched the top Lattice alternatives that share its best features and also shine in areas where it is lacking. This article will explore each solution based on its essential tools, best use cases, and pricing, so you can easily choose the option that’ll fit perfectly with your company’s preferences and priorities.*

Key criteria to look for in a performance management solution
Let’s clarify the features an effective performance management software tool should have before you consider the list of Lattice alternatives below:
Advanced goal features
Platforms like Leapsome allow you to customize visibility settings so you can share goals with specific people, teams, or the whole company. This facilitates a cleaner tracking experience for everyone and ensures you only get input on objectives at the right stages. Additionally, the ability to leave comments, automate progress updates, and send reminders makes goal-setting a more agile process for remote and distributed teams.
Learning and development management
Showing, not just telling, employees how to improve their performance will ensure the best results. Plus, 71% of professionals want more development opportunities from their jobs. That’s why you should look for a platform that has a built-in learning management system (LMS) to design customized training courses for your team.
Meeting tool and templates
Most companies collaborate on staff goals and discuss progress in 1:1 meetings, performance reviews, and development talks. That means you need tools to streamline those conversations, such as agenda points, automated review cycles, and action items.
Feedback and recognition tools
Ideally, feedback should be a two-way street, which means that employees feel comfortable openly sharing their opinions and voicing their concerns with management. Top performance management platforms make it easier for staff to exchange instant praise or anonymous feedback that doesn’t compromise their psychological safety.
Ease of use and customization
Intuitive software has higher adoption rates, which means more people will use it, making it more likely to have a widespread, positive impact on your business.
Affordable pricing
While cost isn’t your only consideration, your chosen software should be competitively priced and not require you to pay for features you don't need.
Drive success with top-notch team performance
Leapsome lets you seamlessly connect goals, development, and learning to help your people excel.
1. Leapsome
![Screenshot of the Leapsome spider graph](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f55ff47b6d23a11cb496a69/66b9cc9358047f618771676e_650c0f2ded523b7dbe3d12c3_6446994939c3875214b96c25_Screenshot_%2520Performance%2520review.webp)
With Leapsome, you can close the loop between engagement, learning, and performance. Our people enablement platform lets you uncover employees’ key motivators, boost their development, and help them excel at their jobs.
Leapsome is an all-in-one solution with seven distinct modules for employee enablement:
- Reviews
- Goals
- Surveys
- Learning
- Compensation
- Instant Feedback
- Meetings
Businesses of all sizes appreciate Leapsome’s comprehensive suite of tools and our people-first approach. You can help team members create goals and objectives according to whichever goal-setting framework you’re using and then track their progress during your 1:1s and reviews. Our highly-customizable Competency Frameworks can also show employees what skills and expertise they need to acquire to reach the next step in their careers.
In addition, Leapsome enables you to better support your team with a variety of performance review formats, including 360°-reviews, leadership reviews, and self-assessments. You can choose from our best-practice templates or customize questions and timelines to suit your organization’s processes. After the review is completed, you’ll have access to powerful analytics, such as heatmaps, scatter plots, and cross-cycle analysis, to interpret the results, identify high and low performers, and shape development plans accordingly.
Meanwhile, you can foster a culture where providing regular feedback is part of the company DNA with the assistance of our Instant Feedback module.
Unlike Lattice, we have a built-in LMS to support continuous employee growth. You can build or upload your own content, or even use third-party materials and a range of multimedia options. Then, assign learning pathways to team members manually or automatically when it’s time for them to upskill.

“There are a lot of incredible tools on the market, but Leapsome is the only one that interconnects its features so deeply and provides the right level of customisation. It’s a tool that integrates into your culture — and not a tool you have to mold your culture and processes to.”
2. BambooHR
![Screenshot of the BambooHR UI.](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f55ff47b6d23a11cb496a69/65168a41d5ad92ada6793511_bamboo.webp)
If BambooHR is your main HRIS, you might want to take a look at its performance management features. You might find the performance tools less versatile compared to some other options on this list. For instance, it lacks a dedicated feedback and recognition product or built-in learning and development features. However, if you already have BambooHR in your HR stack and you want to do an initial exploration and experimentation with performance management, this could be a good place to start.
Notable features
- Performance reviews
- Goal management
- Survey tools and templates
- LMS integrations
- Employee self-service capabilities

In contrast to BambooHR, Betterworks only offers people enablement tools. This makes it a better choice for companies that are happy with their current HR system but want to optimize their goal, review, and feedback processes. The main downside is that Betterworks doesn’t have a built-in LMS like many competitors — you have to rely on course materials from their integrations with LinkedIn Learning and Udemy. That means you can’t create curriculums and courses that are tailored to your business needs.
Notable features
- Performance reviews
- Goals and OKR management
- Meeting tools and templates
- Survey tools and templates
- Feedback tools
- Supports 26 languages
- Mobile app

Sometimes, small businesses don’t have the budget or the administrative team to work with enterprise-level performance management software. So, they might find solutions like Effy better suit their needs. The platform has a choice of payment plans, so you can tailor your costs to your company size and review cycle. Integrations with Slack or Microsoft Teams mean that HR personnel can deliver and collect reviews efficiently via your messaging system of choice.
Notable features
- Customizable review templates

- Reporting and analytics
- Granular participant filters
- Free version for up to ten users

If you need to improve employee performance and engagement, Engagedly could be for you. The platform combines feedback, learning, and engagement tools for a holistic approach to people enablement.

Hibob’s platform combines HR, employee management, and people enablement processes. It might be suited to you if you need to overhaul scheduling and leave management as well as your performance processes.

Businesses that want to strengthen relationships between team leads and employees may find Officevibe interesting. Every plan includes free tools to help managers run meetings and deliver feedback, as well as performance review tips. The goal is a more holistic approach to improving your people enablement processes that includes HR personnel and management.
However, Officevibe doesn’t have a performance review feature like the other Lattice competitors on this list. Instead, users have to rely on features for one-on-one meetings, note-taking, and surveys. Since appraisals involve unique challenges like managing cycles and tracking progress, you may find Officevibe doesn’t do everything you need it to.

If your company has a strong focus on OKRs, Profit.co might be the platform for you. This software solution has a comprehensive set of tools to help employees set objectives that align with their company’s mission and track their progress. Profit.co’s range of OKR templates, key performance indicator (KPI) library, and movable timeframes also allows you to tailor the platform to your organization’s OKR management system. However, Profit.co’s emphasis on OKR methodology might make it a poor fit for businesses that use alternative goal frameworks.
Notable features
- Performance reviews
- OKR management
- Survey tools and templates
- Task management
- Meeting tools and templates
- Feedback and recognition tools
- Highly configurable OKR settings

Trakstar Perform is a performance management platform with built-in LMS and hiring tools. What differentiates it from other Lattice competitors is the connection it makes between goal management and applicant tracking. That means you can sync your hiring objectives with your organization’s overall goals. For instance, Trakstar makes it possible to hire for a specific skill set to support one of your overarching aims.

The platform also includes a range of people enablement features like performance management and employee engagement survey tools.

Employee performance tools enhance organizational productivity, engagement, and motivation — ultimately driving overall business success. They provide a structured framework for setting clear expectations, tracking progress, and delivering regular feedback, which helps team members better understand their roles and responsibilities.
HR tools for performance management facilitate targeted professional development by identifying strengths and areas for improvement, leading to skill enhancement and career growth. They also promote accountability and transparency, ensuring managers and team leads consistently apply performance metrics across the organization. Last, employee performance tools help recognize and reward top performers, improving employee retention and satisfaction.
Performance management is important because it plays a crucial role in driving employee development, enhancing productivity, and aligning individual goals with organizational objectives. When people teams have more insight into individual and overall progress and help teams reach their full potential, they’re better positioned to achieve business objectives and foster a meaningful, engaging work environment.
Businesses of all types and sizes use performance management software to help their teams grow and engage with their roles. Within individual companies, people teams like human resources (HR), learning and development (L&D), and people ops and managers are most likely to own and get the most use out of the tools. However, every member of the team can utilize and benefit from different performance management features.
Performance management software is a type of digital tool that streamlines and automates the process of setting goals, providing feedback, and evaluating employee progress. Many popular platforms like Leapsome offer features like centralized dashboards, data analytics, and templates that enable people teams to manage those tasks more effectively. Implemented correctly, they can allow you to foster a culture of continuous growth, improvement, and open communication.
