Frequently Asked Questions

How is Engagedly different from PerformYard?

PerformYard is a focused, configurable performance review and goal management tool. Engagedly is a people enablement platform that covers performance reviews, learning, recognition, talent mobility, engagement, and frontline communication, all in one place. PerformYard is the right choice if reviews are all you need. Engagedly is the right choice if you want everything else too.

Does PerformYard have a learning management system?

No. PerformYard has no native LXP, no skill library, no learning paths, and no compliance training. Customers who need learning pair PerformYard with a separate LMS. Engagedly includes a full learning experience platform out of the box.

Can Engagedly scale with my growing organization?

Yes. Engagedly is designed for flexibility and scalability. From startups to large enterprises, its modular features—performance, engagement, learning, and recognition—can be activated as your needs grow.

Does PerformYard have gamified recognition or a rewards storefront?

No. PerformYard's recognition is limited to public praise. There's no gamification, no badges, no points or leaderboards, no gift card storefront, no custom rewards. Engagedly includes all of them, so recognition becomes a daily behavior tied to the outcomes you care about.

Can Engagedly replace multiple tools we use alongside PerformYard?

Yes. Most teams switching from PerformYard consolidate their LMS, recognition platform, intranet, and engagement tools into Engagedly. One vendor, one source of employee data, one bill.

How does Engagedly's AI compare to PerformYard's?

Marissa™ AI powers learning recommendations, engagement nudges, skill gap analysis, performance predictions, and career pathing across the entire platform. PerformYard's AI focuses on review writing, meeting summaries, and goal suggestions. Different scope, different outcomes.
