Khorus vs. SilkRoad Performance

Khorus just seemed like a waste of time and money. I'm not sure what it's well suited for, but there wasn't a way to objectively measure your tracking of goals. The visual was nice, but all the goals were so subjective and really not helpful. It's also quite possible that I had the wrong approach.

No, we just had a bad experience unfortunately.

Incentivized

• I honestly found Khorus to be good for keeping a log of my goals.
• The software itself was easy to navigate
• It wasn't super buggy

Incentivized

• Unfortunately our experience was very poor, so I don't have anything for what they do "particularly" well.

Incentivized

• It seems like a glorified spreadsheet at times with a cleaner interface.
• The objectivity of goal tracking was absent.
• I don't see that Khorus serves certain teams very well, such as a customer support team. Our goals don't change very often and the ones that we do have are very tedious to log.

Incentivized

• Transparency about the capabilities of their system. We would have never chosen WingSpan had we had a clear picture of the limitations of their system.
• Ease of use - as an administrator we found it to be difficult to work with. Of course, improvements may have been made in this area since we used it last.
• The user interface could use some updating.

I much prefer Asana to Khorus. It's not only good at tracking but also a task manager. You can see that you are heading towards your goal in an objective approach, assuming that you laid out your project accordingly. Additionally, we use 15Five to get that extra insight as a manager to ask our team how they are doing and if they reached their goals, what's getting in the way, ect.

We used Cvent following our WingSpan experience. It worked out much better and had more capability than WingSpan.

Incentivized

• We ended up leaving Khorus and now use 15Five & Asana.
• I think Khorus is a good idea but wasn't quite there in execution.
• The initial creation of my goals was a good starting point for accomplishing them. I had to hash out the longterm solutions I was hoping to accomplish.

Incentivized

• I feel it set us back a bit, and also caused us to lose credibility with our management team after it turned out to be a "failed experiment."
• We have gone back to a manual system of doing goal setting that works better for us.
