Unity is well suited for Sharepoint users like our team and other Microsoft applications. Widget users will appreciate what Unity has to offer and the experience it brings to your project. If you need instant and fast communication within your business, Thrive is what you are looking for. Messaging complements well.

Pros
Microsoft
  • The default state of transparency. This helps in reinforcing the superpower of OKRs. In Ally.io, the default mode of any objective created is public (unless stated otherwise). This helps people across the organization to understand where and how the organization is progressing.
  • The above feature of transparency is also reinforced by the feature of creating dependencies. This allows for people to understand the parties involved in achieving a particular goal and creates accountability. It is clearly understood which party has not contributed enough and RCA can be done on the same.
  • It allows for integrating with a host of other tools such that the check-in process can be automated. This allows for reducing the effort of managers in terms of updating multiple tools.
  • The dashboarding feature has helped us in reducing effort spent in creating presentations for retros, planning, and demos
  • Ally.io's customer success team is among the best that I have worked it. Always ready to help, proactive, and up for the next challenge. They take the success of their customers extremely seriously. Kudos to the team for this attitude.

Cons
Microsoft
  • Accelerate integrations and add more integrations.

  • Ally.io can still improve upon some of its product features and communicating the releases. Videos have been extremely helpful.

Again, Ally ranks very high and this is because they continuously work towards improving their software, platform and solutions. I believe that they have been very innovative and are adding important layers to help keep an OKR program culture relevant and beneficial to its customers. Ally is an opinion leader in this category and not a me-too tool.

Unily
The UI of Unily is really impressive and it's really easy to work in it. Also, Unily makes it really easy for all the staff especially the ones with non-technical skills to work and interact on the platform. Unily also makes it easy to communicate with the team in time and get rewarded for their effort.
