Microsoft Viva Goals (discontinued) vs. Quantive

Well suited for

• Companies that have experience of using the OKR methodology and have a clear understanding of what it is
• Companies that are planning to expand/scale the OKR program
• Companies that are looking to reduce the effort involved in running the OKR program

Ill-suited for:

• Companies that are using OKRs for the first time and do not have a clear understanding of the methodology

Gtmhub is great for aligning cross-functional marketing team members on centralized goals. In general, different positions have different tactics to support the same goal and Gtmhub provides really easy visibility into how each person is contributing. OKRs are a relatively straightforward framework but Gtmhub helps make the planning process much more straightforward than a makeshift or manual solution.

• 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?

Incentivized

• Aligning to overarching goals
• Relatively simple to use UI with a great recommendation engine as you are building OKRs
• A lot of support resources for the product as well as for orgs implementing OKRs for the first time

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.

Incentivized

• Sometimes can lag a bit - not a deal breaker but an opportunity to be a bit more zippy

Microsoft Viva comes with Teams. The Monday board is helpful too, but I just like Microsoft Viva better
