    Best suited for automated HR process and effective employee engagement. Not so appropriate for companies who have very specific processes and require customizations that are out of the ordinary.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • 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
    Discontinued Products
    • 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.

    • Zimyo has room for integrations.
    • Layout is simple but can be better in terms of design, looks a bit like too simple.
    • LinkedIn Integration and offer letter management.

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