If you are looking for a high-quality online banking product and you don’t want/need to customize it too much, Alkami is a great choice- it has a lot out of the box and the people are great. If you need a lot of customization, and you don’t have the internal resources to help you do that, Alkami may be a challenge to satisfy your needs.

Ally Financial, Inc
Ally perfectly meets our needs for OKR management. My team uses it to ensure that we are making progress on our quarterly objectives and regularly check in—at minimum, once a week but often more frequently. The only misuses at my company are due to user error, notably when people incorrectly use it for task management rather than measurable goals.

Pros
Alkami Technology
  • Mobile-first design is great on both iOS and Android.
  • Broad array of retail banking capabilities.
  • A large array of integrated partner products to enhance the core functionality of the base product.
  • SDK and API-centric architecture are helping to design for the future of banking applications.

  • Visualizing the hierarchy and relationship between objectives and key results. The nesting and double alignment functionality are especially helpful, as they can't easily be expressed on, say, a simple worksheet or Confluence page.
  • Reminding the team to make regular check-ins. What gets measured gets done. This prevents the common pitfall of setting goals and not revisiting them until the end of a project (when it is too late).
  • Integration with external sources for automated check-ins. Why do this manually when it can happen behind the scenes?

Cons
Alkami Technology
  • SDK and APIs are not fully mature - while they are functional and have a bright future, the support infrastructure is not fully developed.
  • Custom development can take a long time.
  • They may be focused on sales over support given their recent public offering.

  • It would be great to have a direct integration to Sigma.
  • Sometimes the UI is a little buggy/weird (e.g. re-ordering and adding objectives is not the easiest).

Ally and Sigma are very different tools. However, they are both integral to my team's daily work and success. One of their common strengths is the responsiveness of their support team. I always feel that my questions are being answered in a clear and informed way. Another shared strength is the knowledge bases that these tools have built out, which is very helpful for onboarding and answering questions self-serve.

  • It definitely helps the product team stay focused on the quarterly objective and not get distracted by other "noise."
