WorkBoard Reviews & Product Details

Workboard offers a modern SaaS solution combined with a world-class customer success team to help our teams understand the true meaning of OKRs, how to practice OKRs and how to use Workboard to drive the practice across all the business units at scale. For the first time, management can tell if the organization's priorities are well understood and executed across and deep into the organization by seeing how many teams are creating OKRs aligned to org OKRs.

The percentage of OKR attainment calculation is not readily available and easily understood in the application platform. This comment is more of an area to improve than a dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workboard is many apps in one. And in the information age, consolidation goes a long way. But this isn’t just tacking on features to bloat the software…the major capabilities complement each other and result in a robust platform for managing results (plus the teams, actions, and meetings that lead to results). Their mobile app is fantastic. The product roadmap is transparent, aggressive, and closely connected to customer feedback and needs. The automation between major features and capabilities is exceptional. Aside from the platform itself, Workboard staff are expert coaches and consultants. They will be with you from start to finish, ensuring you are positioned for success and ready to thrive with OKRs. Finally, their Resource Center and self-help capabilities are some of the best I have seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My dislikes are better described as “what would I like to see that they are working on, but isn’t fully implemented yet” as many of my “dislikes” are on their roadmap and slated to go live in a matter of months. The web app speed and performance can be improved (though it is already very capable), and I wouldn’t mind seeing a native application on desktop to complement their mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The WorkBoard Platform allows our teams to align on the truly important work, identifying key dependencies across the organization to propel us forward in the same direction! Not to mention, they have provided incredible consultation along the way, sharing best practices from OKR writing to strategically aligning an organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WorkBoard's platform is so powerful that it sometimes makes sacrifices to the intuitive user experience. Great technology doesn't make users feel inferior, EVER! WorkBoard falls in the middle of the road for this. The solution is, they have a powerful resource center and incredible training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Workboard tool is easy to use and provides all employees visibility of OKRs across the entire organization. The tool also allows you to align to OKRs above and below a specific org providing key insights into the metrics we use to measure our business. Setting "Best Possible" OKRs can be challenging but very rewarding, loving this tool and methodology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool can sometimes be slow which can be frustrating. With that said, WorkBoard is constantly improving the tool and always accepts feature requests to help improve the overall user experience. The WorkBoard team is fantastic to work with and very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use and the transparency. I can now see how my goals align with the organization all the way to the CEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance can be slow. This can be embarasing during meetings with Execs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service is excellent. I always quickly receive a response on issues and the team does a great job providing suggestions and tips to help make the implementation of workboard as a new tool successful. The availability for facilitation and support have been excellent. It is a great way to stay connected with remote workers and as we start using the tool more, I can foresee how it will help us drive and achieve the work that really matters.

Our organization is not always quick to accept new things and many have struggled to adapt their old way of thinking and working into a different approach. It is not intuitive for everyone and takes time to adapt. More analytics for administrators would be very helpful for driving results and utilization of the tool. Right now we are trying to get at that through the API and an analytics dashboard for administrators would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am the administrator of the platform. Administration is extremely easy - one of the easiest platforms I've administered. The end-user experience is simple and is loved by everyone I have talked to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no downsides to using WorkBoard in my opinion. We are only in the first quarter of OKR's, but so far I have been able to do everything I've needed to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Workboard group were great throughout the decision-making process of "which solution to purchase" and continued that excellent service/communication during the implementation phase. They were very responsive to any needs for training, coaching, etc. They "pushed" us just enough to take ownership internally maybe a little sooner than we would have on our own, but that was also great. We were actually ready because they had trained us so well. The overall approach to OKR's has made our company more aligned than we have been in quite some time.

This is not a direct reflection of Workboard, but it is just one more application to learn. Workboard has so many features, it just takes a fair amount of time to learn all of the capabilities and the best way to approach the specific task you are trying to complete. I'm sure this will get better as we become more familiar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better visibility and organization. Great team support. The Meetings functionality is a great added perk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The meetings functionality can't be used with people outside the tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When leveraged to its full capacity, WorkBoard can be a very effective tool to collaborate seamlessly with your organization. I think the one thing I like the most is the ability to track projects/initiatives while also being able to request progress, share documents and assign to-do's to keep everyone moving forward - all in one place. Via email or IMs - there are always delays especially with the folks who are in back to back meetings all day. Everything is track in different ways/areas and can get lost in the noise. Using WorkBoard is definitely (for some) a change in how you approach work but with it you know exactly what's important, where to go, what to look for and can get up-to-speed and back to your colleagues or team members quickly. It's adds value to peoples performance and time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI needs improvement for sure, it can be slow at times or the formatting of the content may not always be displayed like you would like. Like any software, it has its limitations and there are features it doesn't have currently that could also make it a bit easier to use. While this can be a bit difficult or off putting, I just think of a way around it or how I can adapt my process to accommodate this (a change in how you approach work). Additionally, WorkBoard is constantly improving the tool and they always accept feature requests or provide a way to leverage WorkBoard in a different capacity to achieve your desired outcome.
