Likelihood to Recommend Apptio Targetprocess is well suited to track work and progress of that work. In addition it is easy to tie that work to OKRs. Cost and hours rollup across the work hierarchy works well. Our users like the flexibility of Targetprocess and the ability to develop their own views and reports Scenarios where it is less appropriate is to do executive level reporting and develop reports that can pull in all of our time data since there is a 300k record limit
Read full review It's good for completing performance reviews and setting goals. However, goals should have a different setup, as I mentioned in the previous question. The company also uses it for pulse surveys and one large survey that goes out each year. While I don't have anything to do with compiling that data, it seems to be functional for the HR team. Their goal is to make sure that large survey is as anonymous as possible and that they are able to effectively compile the data. They share it with us. The org chart could be more user-friendly too.
Read full review Pros Extremely flexible: We are able to setup work for different groups in ways that work best for them. Fantastic support group: They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Reporting: Their reporting is flexible and phenomenal. There are so many different ways to pull data and the interface is easy to use. Their user guide is well built and extremely helpful. Read full review Giving me up to date information and tasks that enable me to complete necessary training experiences. Giving me a user friendly interface/platform that allows me to communicate with coworkers, supervisor, etc. It notifies me when I have things to do, and when I have completed necessary tasks. It gives me a bank of completed tasks so that I can chronologically follow my progress over time as I have been with my organization. Read full review Cons Every feature in this amazing application is of unique importance and also quite friendly in nature that doesn’t consume a lot of time and energy as well. For me, there is nothing to take care of in this specific application only sometimes it shows errors while updating but that’s not a big deal. Read full review Navigating on the website can be confusing. Webpage design can be improved. Management Reviews could be more specific. They are only given one text box to provide feedback on Self-Reviews. The way in which goals are set and how to edit them is confusing. Found myself with repeating goals from a previous quarter even though I tried to turn them off as they were complete. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Targetprocess is the most flexible application for tracking work among teams that we have found. This power comes from near limitless ability to customize your views on the work tracked in the system, and from the myriad reporting options to draw metrics and stats out of the data there. Custom fields, processes, and mashups all add to this flexibility and appeal.
Read full review Usability The UI is intuitive and consistent. The complexity of the app means there is a steep learning curve though, but it is well worth putting in the effort to get the most out of the tool. We have some team members who are learning new ways of doing things after 1-2 years of working in Targetprocess.
Read full review Reliability and Availability Some minor outages are experienced, though these tend to pass within an hour usually and work can continue
Read full review Performance Reports are fast loading, considering they can refresh in a second or less and we have 7 years of work tracked in over 40k entities. Pages can load slowly when the views are very busy, but not frustratingly. I am a console user most of my career and generally prefer it over webUI interfaces, but Targetprocess won me over from the beginning and I spend half my day using it now.
Read full review Support Rating TargetProcess' support is one of its strengths. The support team is very responsive and helpful when there is a problem but they're also proactive in providing good release notes and engaging with the community through a voting scheme to influence the priority of new features.
The team also releases new versions frequently with new features but with no knock-ons to currently working features.
Read full review Lattice Support is not that good. We have had to have calls with them in the past and their product team did not have a lot of knowledge about their product. I believe they are able to provide a much better level of service and that would increase my likelihood to work with them again.
Read full review Implementation Rating You should take some time to get everyone to agree how the system should be setup before work starts being tracked in Targetprocess, this avoids difficult and disruptive changes to processes or plugins later when everyone relies on it daily.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Apptio Targetprocess outshone the competition on several benchmarks. The most important for our team was ease of administration, ease of configuration, cost of licenses, and ability to leverage the tool in multiple areas (not just project management or engineering). Apptio Targetprocess ranked top in each category, with anonymous scoring from members across the selection team.
Read full review We previously used ADP's Performance Mgmt module and found it to not meet any of our needs. In the fall of 2020, I sourced/contacted three vendors - Lattice, Goal Span & Performance Culture & had demos of their offerings. Lattice checked all of the boxes we were seeking; implementation was fast & we were able to kickoff our first review the end of November as we normally do - what a huge positive difference we immediately saw!!
Read full review Scalability We use the hosted version of Targetprocess and have never run into limitations or degraded performance due to scalability. Excellent performance over 7 years!
Read full review Return on Investment Lower administrative burden on product teams. The "team" nature of resource manager saves a significant amount of admin time for our Product teams when managing resources and their alignment Lean processes for labor management. Simplifying time entry to very few tasks, and enabling time entry at a team level streamlines the representation of work and cuts back on wasted time churning through admin activities Read full review At first he doesn’t make sense to fill out but after time does hold you accountable. As I mentioned before it’s a great way to have positive interactions to show public restroom fashion in your company. I’m not familiar with the cost but it seems like a good software and I enjoy using it. Read full review ScreenShots Apptio Targetprocess Screenshots
