FlowyTeam vs. Microsoft Viva Goals (discontinued)

The platform is well suited for SMEs like me when we do not have permanent HR roles. With the platform, we can monitor

• Their attendance
• The employee's job rank
• The employee's job status
• Company, team, and individual objectives
• There is no need for micromanagement; results are delivered based on trust, and the platform allowed us (the employer) to get rid of non-performance subtly
• We use FlowyTeam platform in our performance review, thus it's so convenient to point it out to the individual because they already know whether they are performing or not.

I believe Ally.io to be one of the best OKR software tools available and it can be deployed easily to small, medium, large enterprises. The tool is easily scalable and its implementation can be deployed without necessarily having a pilot test. I can not find scenarios where it would not be appropriate.

Incentivized

• Projects
• Tasks
• Kanban
• Performance management
• Engagement

• The default state of transparency. This helps in reinforcing the superpower of OKRs. In Ally.io, the default mode of any objective created is public (unless stated otherwise). This helps people across the organization to understand where and how the organization is progressing.
• The above feature of transparency is also reinforced by the feature of creating dependencies. This allows for people to understand the parties involved in achieving a particular goal and creates accountability. It is clearly understood which party has not contributed enough and RCA can be done on the same.
• It allows for integrating with a host of other tools such that the check-in process can be automated. This allows for reducing the effort of managers in terms of updating multiple tools.
• The dashboarding feature has helped us in reducing effort spent in creating presentations for retros, planning, and demos
• Ally.io's customer success team is among the best that I have worked it. Always ready to help, proactive, and up for the next challenge. They take the success of their customers extremely seriously. Kudos to the team for this attitude.

Incentivized

• Data analysis
• Data integration
• App version

Incentivized

• Accelerate integrations and add more integrations.
• Ally.io has room for improvement in providing benchmark in-depth analysis across industries, same-size companies, etc.
• Ally.io can still improve upon some of its product features and communicating the releases. Videos have been extremely helpful.

Trello is very good for kanban...but I like the diversity of FlowyTeam. Can be linked to Kanban and makes the software an effective action plan tool. Project management is also a plus

Ally was preferred over the alternatives due to the following:

• Quick turnaround by reps
• Detailed product demo
• Ease of use in comparison other tools
• Clarity in terms of how Ally.io could resolve Crayon's existing issues

Incentivized

• Quality of delivery is very positive
• Team effort to ensure everyone is meeting the company's objectives and goals
• Being able to cut loses (non-performance) fast and legally

Incentivized

• AI co-pilot makes it easier to be more direct and less "wordy"
• Teams is a great program and I like how it's seamless and more advanced when you want to convert a file type.
• Tasks section is great way to keep track of lists that I constantly forget. Now I just use my computer to keep track of my "to-do list"
