Should you buy Primalogik? The short answer

In one line

Primalogik runs appraisals, 360 feedback and check-ins through review steps you choose. It connects to BambooHR, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta and Slack.

Buy it if

You want to set the review steps yourself, including who signs and who approves. You use BambooHR, Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. You want pricing by team-size tier and no charge for former employees.

Do not buy it if

You need a published price. You need a dedicated mobile app. You want reminders posted in a Slack channel. Your legal team will not sign terms that make you cover claims from employment decisions.

Price

Primalogik publishes no price. Everyone who uses the platform needs a user account. The minimum bundle is 25 users. Yearly plans pay for 10 months and get 2 months free.

How a Primalogik review round runs, and what its AI does

Reviews and ratings

An appraisal starts with the steps you choose. You can run a self-review and then a manager review. You can run both at the same time. You can skip the self-review. You can require signatures from the employee, the manager and a second level. The second level is an administrator or a higher manager. You can also require approval before the review is shared with the employee. That approval can come from a second-level manager, any HR administrator or both.

Automation rules start recurring annual reviews on a set date. They can also start check-ins for new hires after 30, 60 or 90 days. Primalogik offers unlimited review rounds. A first round can launch within a few hours to a few days.

Managers can build their own questionnaires, and the question forms can be changed. The platform comes in English (Canada), English (US), Spanish and French. The default rating scale is a Likert scale, where people choose how far they agree with a statement. You can create other scales. You can weight rating questions. Existing goals can be rated directly on the appraisal. The review form pulls in each goal with its status, deadline and completion percentage.

Check-ins are light questionnaires for one-to-one meetings between an employee and a manager. Instant Feedback lets anyone in the account give feedback to anyone else. A 360 survey collects feedback about one employee from people such as peers, direct reports and managers. 360 reviews can be anonymous. Private manager notes stay visible only to the manager until shared.

The Manager Journal holds a manager’s private notes. Primalogik pulls them up while the manager fills in a review. Reports include a built-in nine-box grid, which places each employee by performance and potential. They also include other grids you can customise. You can add a rating matrix to a questionnaire from any two sections that contain rating questions. The Performance plan also includes opinion surveys.

The AI

The AI summary is off until your organisation switches it on. An organisation turns it on in AI Settings. The Summary Notes section must also be on. A user can then ask for an AI-generated summary to help draft the summary notes of a review.

For an appraisal, the assistant summarises the results by evaluating all the information in the assessment report. For a 360 report, it evaluates all questions, written comments and ratings. It also reads the blind spots or hidden strengths that the 360 report highlights. It looks for patterns and themes in the feedback, and it highlights strengths and areas for improvement. AI summaries also cover appraisals, check-ins and opinion surveys. Primalogik plans more AI features.

The summary comes from the submitted feedback, including comments and ratings. Hidden comments are not sent. An edited comment is sent in its edited form. The text is a starting point. The user copies it into the Summary Notes field, edits it and saves. Primalogik tells users to review the summary. AI may make assumptions or include details a user may not want to share. On 360 feedback, appraisals and check-ins, managers and HR administrators can add and edit summary notes. The reviewee cannot edit them on their own review.

Systems and set-up

The BambooHR link signs staff in and keeps their accounts in step. Employee records are created and edited in BambooHR and flow to Primalogik. After the first import, the sync runs every 15 minutes. Microsoft Entra ID can add staff accounts automatically through SCIM 2.0. SCIM is a standard way for systems to do that. Administrators can import user accounts from Google Workspace. An Okta custom application lets staff sign in with their Okta login.

What Primalogik does well

Training, setup and support come in the price

Primalogik prices include training, setup, onboarding and support. Email, phone and live chat support come with every plan. Signing in with your company login is also included in every plan.

Former employees do not add to the bill

You can disable the account of a former employee. Primalogik does not charge for it. Their data stays accessible, so past reviews remain available to you.

HR can compare how managers rate

A bias report compares how managers rate. It looks at each manager’s scoring range and median score. Reports can split ratings by gender, department or office location. They compare average scores across those groups. Score history reports follow one employee’s scores across review rounds.

Changes to ratings and submitted reviews leave a record

HR administrators and managers can change the ratings that participants gave, for calibration. Calibration is the meeting where leaders compare ratings and adjust them to be consistent. Primalogik records who changed a rating and when. It also locks reviews once they are submitted and logs changes.

Who uses Primalogik, and what they report

Primalogik Software Solutions Inc. is a Canadian corporation with offices in Montreal, created in 2012. The customers it features in its stories have 25 to 275 people. The free trial allows a pilot with up to 10 staff members or test users.

Endeavor Robotics (100 to 150 people) cut HR time on performance tasks

Endeavor’s HR director reports that performance management tasks fell from 40% of their time to rarely more than 15%. The same director reports that ratings are optional in Primalogik.

Sensiba San Filippo (150 to 200 people) reports faster reviews

Sensiba’s customer story puts the time per review at 4 to 8 hours before Primalogik and about 1 hour after. Primalogik’s pricing page quotes the same customer at 15 minutes. Ask which figure is right.

Kinsa (25 to 50 people) reports a completion rate of 99% to 100%

Kinsa’s VP Marketing reports that review completion is consistently at 99% to 100%.

Ducker (115 people) runs project, mid-year and annual reviews

Ducker uses the appraisals feature for all three. Ducker reports that whatever is entered in BambooHR on hiring carries into Primalogik. That includes job title, location and manager.

Istation (275 people) runs a five-step approval route

Istation’s HR coordinator reports the route. Employees write self-reviews. Managers then write their reviews. A VP of HR approves them. Primalogik then shares them, and people sign online.

Limits and contract terms to read before you sign

Under its privacy policy, Primalogik may share or transfer information in some company deals. These deals are a merger, a sale of company assets, financing or an acquisition.

There is no dedicated mobile app

It has no dedicated mobile app. The platform is optimised for mobile browsers.

Slack messages reach people one by one

The Slack integration sends messages to individual users. They include reminders, survey launches and feedback people receive. It does not post to Slack channels.

A round allows one appraisal and one 360 survey per employee

A review round can include one appraisal and one 360 survey for each employee. The appraisal involves the employee and the manager only. A 360 survey brings in other people.

Mixed rating scales leave out the final average score

You can use a different rating scale in each section of a review. When you do, the employee’s report carries no final average score.

Private manager notes can be hidden from account administrators

A manager can mark a journal entry private. Then not even account administrators can see it. Journal notes are never visible to the employee. Ask how HR would get at a note in a dispute.

File storage is 50 MB for each user account

Each user account gets 50 MB of file storage. You can get extra storage for a small fee by contacting support.

Support runs on Eastern time, on weekdays

Support hours are 9am to 5pm Eastern time, Monday to Friday.

You cover claims that come from your employment decisions

Under its terms, you must cover Primalogik against third-party claims. These claims come from any employment decision you make because of information in the service. They can also come from any action you take for that reason.

Primalogik caps its liability at 12 months of fees

Under its terms, its liability for proven direct damages is capped. The cap is the amount you paid and owe in the 12 months before the last event. That event is the one behind the claim. Two exceptions apply. They are intentional or gross fault, and its own cover for intellectual property claims.

Primalogik may change the product without notice

It may change the content, features and functions of the service at any time without notice. It may also assign the agreement to a third party at any time. That is in its sole discretion.

Two documents handle your data in different ways

Primalogik’s help article on data security commits not to share, disclose, sell or transfer users’ data to third parties. Under its terms, it has a perpetual right to use your data to provide, maintain and improve the service. It may create anonymised data that it owns, for benchmarking and marketing. It may also share your data with service providers in connection with performing or improving the service. Ask how these fit together.

Primalogik may use your company name and logo

It may use them in its marketing materials and on its public website.

Your data sits in Canada and Quebec law governs the terms

It collects information globally and stores it in Canada. Amazon Web Services hosts its database and application. Under its data processing addendum, personal data of people in the European Economic Area may move to other regions. Those regions include Canada and the US. The laws of the Canadian province of Quebec govern the terms.

What Primalogik costs, and what happens when you leave

Primalogik publishes no price. A form on its website sends you a quote. Pricing follows team-size tiers, with monthly billing. The minimum bundle is 25 users. Primalogik prices include training, setup, onboarding and support.

Every active employee who uses the platform needs a user account. People who rate others in a 360 survey count as users. So do the people they rate.

Yearly plans pay 10 months upfront and get 2 months free. Monthly plans can be cancelled after a 3-month minimum. Yearly plans renew automatically on the anniversary date. Primalogik sends a renewal notice about 30 days before that date. On renewal the fees are Primalogik’s then-current standard fees, unless you agree otherwise in writing. Payments are non-refundable, including for partly used periods and for the number of users.

Primalogik may end the agreement for convenience. It gives 30 days’ written notice on a monthly plan and 90 days’ on a yearly plan.

During the term you can download all results for a review round with Batch Operations, a bulk download tool. Everything in the Reports menu exports through column selection and an export function. Under its data processing addendum, Primalogik starts a purge at termination that deletes or anonymises personal data. Primalogik provides a copy if you ask within 30 days of termination. Its help article on cancelling has you acknowledge that your data will be lost once the cancellation is complete. Ask which document applies.

Permanently deleting a user is final and cannot be undone. Under its privacy policy, deactivating an account does not delete the information. That information stays visible to other users, based on past participation.

You could also run review steps with agents built on your own systems. We have mapped what that looks like. The HR Agent Map

Eleven questions to put to Primalogik before you sign

What will we pay for our headcount, including 360 raters and the people they rate? A good answer is a written price for our numbers, with a stated rule for how raters count.
Which review time is right, 4 to 8 hours down to about 1 hour, or down to 15 minutes? A good answer is one figure with its method, and a customer of our size who will take a call.
Will you limit the clause that lets you use our data and keep anonymised data for benchmarking and marketing? A good answer is a written limit in our order form that fits your help article on data security.
Which company’s AI model reads our review comments, and in which country does it run? A good answer is a named company and country, and a promise that our feedback does not train its models.
Will you fix the renewal fee in writing, instead of the then-current standard fees? A good answer is a stated cap or a fixed fee for the next term.
Will you change the clause that makes us cover claims from our employment decisions? A good answer is wording that removes it or limits it to our own misuse of the service.
Who can see a private manager journal note, and how does HR get it in a dispute? A good answer is a written rule on access, with a route for legal requests.
Who can edit participants’ rating responses in calibration, and does the employee see the change? A good answer is a named list of roles, and a change log that HR can read.
How do we get a complete copy of our data when the contract ends, and when is it deleted? A good answer is a file format, a date and written confirmation of deletion, with no 30-day window to miss.
What uptime promise will you put in our contract? A good answer is a written uptime figure, with a stated remedy if you miss it.
Does Primalogik connect to our payroll or HR system, and how often does data move? A good answer is a named connector for our system, with the update time in writing.

Alternatives to Primalogik

Alternatives to Primalogik include PerformYard, Teamflect and Trakstar, and you could keep your current process.

PerformYard publishes a price of $5 to $15 per person a month. Pricing is per seat and billed yearly. It varies with employee count and the products you choose. Onboarding and training carry no additional fee. PerformYard connects to ADP, BambooHR, Gusto, Rippling, UKG, Workday and Paylocity. It also connects to Slack or Teams. Its link to your HR system updates about once every 24 hours. Primalogik’s BambooHR link updates every 15 minutes after the first import.

Teamflect has a native design for Microsoft Teams and Outlook. Its Starter plan costs $0 per user for up to 10 users. Above 10 users you pay for all users, not only the extra ones. Essential costs $7 per user a month billed yearly. Professional costs $11. Organisations that put Google Workspace or Slack first will not benefit from Teamflect’s native integration. Primalogik imports user accounts from Google Workspace and sends messages through Slack.

Trakstar sets custom pricing based on headcount. Under Trakstar’s terms, the subscription fee is fixed for each contract year during the term. Trakstar may change the fee for the next contract year on at least 75 days’ notice. Primalogik’s renewal fees are its then-current standard fees, unless agreed otherwise in writing. Trakstar connects to HR systems, Slack and Microsoft Teams. Its reports include performance rankings, rater bias detection, trend tracking and succession insights. Succession planning places employees in a nine-box matrix.

You could also keep your current process. If your payroll or HR software already includes a review feature, price it first. Primalogik’s free trial runs a pilot with up to 10 staff members or test users. That lets you compare it with what you do now.
