Ally vs. BankingOn Mobile Banking Platform

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.

If you are serious about the banking sector and do not have an in-house team to develop and manage the app, then you can give it a try, they also offer a demo before actually using it. They might help to set it up, manage it, and secure it from the daily cyber attacks.

• 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?

• It has great user interface.
• It allows using APIs for offering better services and better connectivity.
• End users like its UI/UX so much and seem positive about using it.

Incentivized

• 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).

Incentivized

• One has to manually request to see the demo or other samples.
• Its pricing seems too high, every credit union or small bank couldn't afford it.
• Customization is a little bit complex in my opinion.

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.
