How to choose

How to choose a gradar alternative

  1. 1

    What sets the bill

    gradar's listed editions have annual fees, with different editing access and environments. Check which edition you pay for and which allowances you use. An owned version has a one-off setup fee followed by a monthly retainer, rather than a per-seat plan. Compare the full scope of the work you need.

  2. 2

    Who owns your records

    Check how you can export your job records and what happens to them when you leave. With an owned version, your records sit in a database your business owns. The free version can import a job report export and preserve its source grades.

  3. 3

    Fit with your rules

    Consider whether the system can reflect your own fields, evaluation wording and review steps. Enterprise and Ultimate support organisation-specific factor descriptions in gradar, with implementation effort charged separately where indicated. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business runs, including its fields and process.

  4. 4

    What switching involves

    Plan what needs to move, including job records, grades, attachments and older evaluation history. Customised column headings need mapping first, and information outside the job report export needs to be agreed. Enterprise DNA brings the gradar data across and reconciles the records with you.

Questions

gradar alternatives, answered

What would I pay for gradar instead of an owned version? expand_more

The published US price sheet lists Professional Complete at US$10,500 a year, Enterprise Complete at US$15,000 a year and Ultimate at US$50,000 a year. The editions have different allowances. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer for the agreed work.

Can existing gradar job records and grades move across? expand_more

The free version can import the job report export and preserve its source grades. If column headings have been customised, they need mapping first. Enterprise DNA brings the data across and reconciles the records with you. Attachments and older evaluation history outside the report need to be agreed separately.

Will a replacement keep the same grades or confirm legal compliance? expand_more

Existing gradar grades remain historical results. The free version includes an illustrative method that your evaluator must validate or replace. It records evidence and decisions, but does not certify a method, establish equal value or prove legal compliance.

What should I plan before moving away from gradar? expand_more

Agree what information moves, how attachments and older history are handled, and which fields and connections you need. Enterprise DNA brings the gradar data across, then builds and runs your version. The arrangement is one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer. A free version is available to run yourself.
