- They don't include the API, only in Enterprise (or as an Add-On)

- They have an insights feature but it doesn't feel comprehensive and I can't find any reports yet.

- It is not very clear how they implement CFR meetings, but we are trying to figure it out a way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't be afraid if you don't know too much about OKRs; they have a great set of online training that will prepare you with the methodology for building great OKRs for the entire organization.

API is a plus, but they provide enough integration to get you going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ally.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are working to implement continuous performance management and increase the autonomy of the team. We want to change the old way of performance management and merge that with a new way of doing strategic planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the hierarchy can be a bit confusing, but honestly, I think that comes down to how my company has implemented the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ally.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of my problems is that I can get so busy working on stuff that creeps up, I don't get to the stuff that really matters. I have used Ally.io to set goals that motivate me to own my time, get the most important things done first, and then do the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simple and intuitive interface for creating objectives and key results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ally.io?

We selected Ally from among 8 OKR platform contenders. Most of them had the usual must-have features (customized quarters, dashboard view of OKR alignment, management reporting, etc.). However, we prioritized ease of use to help drive adoption, and Ally's integration with many other platforms, including Teams, Slack, and Wrike, along with an intuitive and well-designed mobile app, fit the bill for us. In addition, several other OKR vendors built their platform based on their OKR "philosophy", and therefore did not include certain features (i.e., tracking projects/initiatives, individual OKRs, etc.). Because we were new to OKRs and still hadn't developed our "philosophy", we wanted a platform with the flexibility to accommodate any needs we would come up with now or in the future. Ally excels at this flexibility. Case in point is their newly released Performance Management module, which I'm excited to learn more about. A lot of the other vendors believe that individual performance management should not be integrated with OKRs, and therefore would never develop this capability. Ally gives you all the options, and you can choose which ones you want to implement in your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ally.io?

There's nothing really that I dislike about Ally. I do have my personal preferences regarding certain terms (for example, they use "KPI" to describe metric key results, when in my experience KPIs are more associated with operational business metrics), but again these are preferences. You have the ability to create custom tags if you need to further refine or filter information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ally.io:

Consider the level of integration you will need. If you already have a performance management platform in your HR system, you'll need to figure out how to manage the weekly check-in rigor of OKRs along with your built-in routine of individual performance feedback--all while reducing the burden on staff. Since OKRs was new and our staff was somewhat "framework fatigued", we aimed for ease of use to remove every excuse for them not adopting OKRs and committing to the check-ins. Ally was a huge help in accomplishing that because of the many touch-points wherewith to do check-ins (the Ally website, Slack/Teams, or mobile). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ally.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an IT Director, I was looking for a way to align and track the work being done by my staff and the impact it has on my departmental objectives, with an eye toward introducing it company-wide to help drive strategic planning and execution. After reading "Measure What Matters," I was hooked on OKRs...but I quickly realized that trying to manage OKRs on a spreadsheet with more than a handful of people would quickly become unwieldy. Ally was just what we needed to establish a foundation upon which we could adopt OKRs across the entire organization. Just 6 months into our OKR journey, we are already seeing more maturity in our quarterly planning and focus in our execution. I have shared our journey with several senior executives, and they are excited to learn how we can expand the framework throughout the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ally.io?

simplicity.

Started Ally.io to prep for upcoming team QBR and board review. Having the platform's onboarding process walk me through the OKR setting process was easy and I have clear visibility into our team's OKRs and feel more confident going into these meetings than ever before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ally.io?

While it was easy to set up OKRs individually, I'd love a way to create OKRs and workshop with my team directly within Ally.io but when sharing this feedback with the Ally.io team they said this feature is coming soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ally.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visibility, alignment, and collaboration. We're early in our journey but have already had the benefit of everyone understanding how their key results help us reach our team and company objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
