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.

If you don't have an employee engagement and performance platform, Workleap Officevibe will nicely fill that space; it would be best suited to small to medium organizations where there is already conversation to support team engagement, and anonymous surveys are helpful. The one-on-one feature and goals are also useful for proactively and positively engaging the workforce.

Pros
  • 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.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Officevibe's user interface for end users is straightforward and well-designed; it looks nice and intuitive. We did have confusion about the brand, with some new employees thinking they were spam emails. Also, the manager's view and getting access to the right visibility can be confusing unless well administrated internally.

Alternatives Considered
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

While both of these products are geared towards office much larger than mine, Officevibe is priced by user so I was able to scale it down to fit us and is much more affordable than 15Five. They didn't have the ability to scale it down so the cost was very prohibitive for us. I can add users as we grow and remove them if necessary so it's always going to stay affordable

Return on Investment
  • 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"

  • I love seeing the eNPS. It is a quick reference point to see where our employees approval line lies.
  • The executive team gets a deeper look at the feelings of employees to see if problems are brewing.
