Looking for a Reflektive alternative?
Since PeopleFluent's acquisition, many teams are re-evaluating their performance management stack. Discover how Confirm's ONA-powered approach reveals true performance that traditional platforms miss.
Why teams are switching from Reflektive
Reflektive was a solid platform before the 2021 PeopleFluent acquisition. But acquisitions change priorities, product roadmaps, and customer focus. Here's what we're hearing from Reflektive customers:
Acquisition uncertainty
Post-acquisition platforms often face integration challenges, reduced innovation, and shifting priorities. Teams need confidence their performance platform will evolve with their needs, not slow down.
Legacy architecture
Reflektive was built for a different era of work. Today's hybrid teams need modern tools built for distributed collaboration, not retrofitted systems designed for office-first work.
Limited visibility
Traditional performance tools capture what employees report, not what's actually happening. You need data that shows real collaboration patterns and impact—not just survey responses.
One-size-fits-all
Enterprise suites prioritize breadth over depth. You need a platform that excels at performance management for middle managers, not a jack-of-all-trades that does everything adequately.
What makes Confirm different
Confirm uses Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) to reveal who actually drives results—We built Confirm from the ground up for modern performance management.
ONA reveals true performance
While traditional tools ask people to rate themselves and colleagues, Confirm analyzes actual collaboration patterns—who people go to for help, who drives decisions, who connects teams. This reveals true impact that surveys and self-assessments miss.
- Identify hidden high-performers (the ones too busy to self-promote)
- Spot underperformers who interview well but don't deliver
- See team dynamics and collaboration health in real-time
- Make promotion decisions based on evidence, not politics
Built for hybrid work
Confirm was designed from day one for distributed teams. Our ONA approach works regardless of location—tracking real collaboration patterns, not office visibility.
AI-powered coaching
Confirm doesn't just show you data—it helps managers act on it with AI-generated coaching recommendations based on each employee's actual impact and development needs.
Independent innovation
We're not part of a suite or constrained by corporate roadmaps. Our entire focus is on building the best performance management platform for middle managers.
Passive data collection
No more survey fatigue. Confirm captures collaboration signals automatically from your existing tools—saving time and eliminating self-reporting bias.
Modern architecture
Built with modern tech stack and security standards. SOC 2 Type II certified with GDPR compliance baked in from the start.

Talk to our teamWhat HR leaders say
"Organization network analysis (ONA) is an absolute breakthrough with performance management; it is exceptionally insightful."
"When we learned about ONA from Confirm, it was magical timing. We looked at a bunch of platforms. None of them could do it — not in that way, in such a fast, simple way."
"Confirm is the first tool that lets me see the behavioral side with some evidence. I can quickly get the information to make decisions."
When to choose Confirm over Reflektive
Post-acquisition uncertainty
If you're concerned about Reflektive's roadmap under PeopleFluent ownership, Confirm offers an independent alternative focused solely on performance management innovation.
Need deeper insights
If traditional performance tools feel like checking boxes rather than driving real insights, Confirm's ONA approach reveals patterns you can't see with surveys alone.
Hybrid team challenges
If remote employees feel invisible or managers struggle with performance visibility in distributed teams, Confirm was built for this exact problem.
Hidden talent problem
If you suspect your best people aren't the loudest ones, ONA will find them. Confirm identifies high-performers who don't self-promote but deliver real impact.
Data-driven decisions
If you're making high-stakes decisions (promotions, layoffs, reorgs) and need defensible evidence beyond manager opinions, ONA provides objective performance data.
Modern expectations
If your current tool feels outdated and managers want something built for today's workplace, Confirm offers the modern UX and AI capabilities they expect.
Common questions
Can we export our data from Reflektive?
Yes. We'll help you export your historical performance data, goals, and review records. Most customers retain 2-3 years of history during migration.
How long does migration take?
Most migrations complete in 2-4 weeks. We handle data import, manager training, and employee onboarding. You can run both systems in parallel during the transition.
What if we're mid-review cycle?
No problem. We can time migration to align with your review calendar, or help you complete your current cycle in Reflektive before switching.
How is ONA different from 360 reviews?
360 reviews ask people to rate colleagues—creating gaming and bias. ONA passively analyzes actual collaboration patterns without requiring active feedback. It's more objective and less burdensome.
Does Confirm require employees to do anything?
Minimal. ONA data is collected passively from collaboration tools. Employees may participate in quick peer recognition moments, but there's no constant survey fatigue.
What about pricing compared to Reflektive?
Confirm's pricing is competitive with enterprise performance platforms. Schedule a call to discuss your specific needs—we'll provide a detailed comparison including implementation and support costs.
Is employee data safe?
Yes. Confirm is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. ONA data is aggregated and anonymized—we never show individual communication content. Privacy is built into our architecture.
Can we try before committing?
Absolutely. Many customers run Confirm alongside their existing tool for a quarter to see the difference. No pressure—just see if ONA insights change how you think about performance.
