Grapevine vs Excel: Assessment Tools & Deals
I’ve been rethinking how we handle employee evaluations lately. For years we’ve used Excel sheets and Google Forms that our HR team built manually. It worked when we were small, but now with 80+ people it feels messy. Data gets lost, feedback isn’t always structured, and managers interpret questions differently. I started looking at ready-made solutions like Grapevine Evaluations because they seem more standardized and professional. At the same time, switching systems always means extra cost, onboarding time, and internal adjustments. So I’m wondering — is it actually worth moving from homemade spreadsheets to a dedicated platform? And if yes, how do companies usually find better pricing for tools like this?

We faced the same dilemma last year, and honestly the biggest difference wasn’t just automation but consistency in feedback. Structured templates and reporting made performance reviews much clearer for managers. About pricing — before committing, we searched for any available partner deals and found a page mentioning a Grapevine Evaluations Discount
which explains businesses can get up to 20% off. It didn’t feel like a promotion push, just practical info. In our case, that discount reduced the risk of trying a new system, and once implemented, the time saved on manual data consolidation alone justified the switch.
