"Great tool to align goals individually, with team and organization"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ally.io?

Ally is great to use across an entire organization and individually. It's similar to a project management tool for everyone to see what everyone else's goal is and tracking your goals against forecasted projections. It helps to understand how your goals ladder up to the greater organization's vision Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ally.io?

It can be somewhat difficult to use at first as there are myriad different features. Additionally, aligning goals with leaders can be confusing for some. It is also hard sometimes to find someone else's OKRs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ally has increased our productivity after - transitioning from a google doc to a powerful platform"
4/5
What do you like best about Ally.io?

Our team liked the simplicity and straigh-forwardness the most - all it took was a 10min quick tutorial and we were good to go Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ally.io?

Ally has been growing fast in the recent times, so stuff like missing essential integrations is constantly being worked on based on the demands of most users. The only thing that we've had trouble with is the overview of all goals in the tree-overview - you can't zoom out and look at everything at once. Other than that, all missing features were implemented very fast after we've issued them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Product in OKR Space. Strong Customer Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Ally.io?

Great customer support (shout-out to Manish Dixit!) that goes beyond the product and into helping you structure your OKRs in the most effective way possible. Would highly recommend for any organization new or experienced in the art of OKRs. Ally's product is full-featured and the company has some of the strongest backers/funding in the space. The product development cycle feels intentional and rhythmic which means you can expect regular updates to the platform. We spend most of our time in the "chart view" and it acts as the central source of truth for our team on company objectives. When engaging with customer support, they provide hands-on guidance walking you through the product to make real-time improvements to your OKR strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ally.io?

Mostly positive so far. Initially, there were some missing features to run OKR update meetings and check-ins but product is improving in that area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent software for OKRs and exceptional customer service"
5/5
What do you like best about Ally.io?

The interface for Ally is very intuitive and with very little training you can be up and running with your Company, Team and Individual OKRs in no time. Underneath that simplicity though is a powerful OKR tool that allows you to align Objectives, create detailed projects and delegate tasks out easily. Most importantly the reviewing and check-in process is very good too.

The customer service so far has also been excellent, with a well-thought-out and comprehensive onboarding process. It's still relatively early days but so far we've been very impressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ally.io?

Integration into our HR System would be great but we've already spoken to them about this and it's on their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ally.io user review"
3/5
What do you like best about Ally.io?

I like the fact that the objectives & key results can be easily monitored across all teams and that we can see how each team's goals contribute to the company's goals. It is relatively easy to enter the weekly check-ins. Adding objectives and key results as well as amending them is also a pretty straightforward process. It is good that one can enter check-ins for both the main objective and its key results, however one must be quite careful not to enter their key result updates into the main goal check-ins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ally.io?

Check-in editing option is not very intuitive, i.e. it is not easy to find the 'edit' button, unless one hovers over 'Activity' and clicks on the 3 dots. It is easy to make a mistake, while entering check-ins (e.g. to add a check-in belonging to a key result to the objective), so one cannot do it too quickly. The biggest drawback is the key result progress measurement, as the key result values are always equal, even though the amount of effort and time invested varies among subgoals. For example, objective 1 has key results A, B, C and D. Each one of these key results accounts for 25% of the objective, however key results A and B may take 90% of the time and effort and even when these two get done, the objective is only 50% completed. I would definitively add more options in progress monitoring section and assign individual value to each key result to illustrate how it relates to other key results (e.g. key result A - 50%, key result B - 25%, key result C - 15% and key result D - 10%).

"OKR drives the company's growth and Ally drive the OKRs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ally.io?

The way we can have hierarchical structure in OKRs, coming rom top down and can be distributed to lowest levels, is what I like the best. Having views of monthly and quarterly, seeing aggregation of OKRS at each level, gives you an entire view how the entire company is doing on the goals they have set at the start of year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ally.io?

It feels a little bit slow. But it's not of that worry as it's not to be engaged every second of the day kind of app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Siddharth,
