About Ally

Ally is a cloud-based solution, which assists companies of all sizes with goal-setting and business performance management. Key features include predefined templates, customizable reporting, data import/export, activity dashboard, workflow management and progress tracking.

The Ally platform enables administrators to adopt a framework to measure objectives and key results (OKRs), import existing OKRs and send invites to team members. It allows managers to visualize alignment and dependencies via charts, assign weights to key results and create approval-workflows. Additionally, users can compare progress between multiple quarters, add comments on OKRs, configure alerts or reminders and share reports.

Ally comes with a REST API, which facilitates integration with various third-party systems such as Asana, Jira, Salesforce, Smartsheet, Workday, ADP and more. It is available on monthly subscriptions and support is provided via phone, email and other online measures.

    Pros:
    Ally is by far the best OKR software I have used or tried out. It's intuitive and easy to use.
    Cons:
    It was too expensive. We could only use it for the company and department level OKRs with senior management and department head. It was too expensive to use for every single employee in the company.

    Cons:
    The pricing is on a higher side, it could have been lowered, as at this price, we might not be able to get it adopted for whole org.

    Reasons for choosing Ally

    the UX and the view of ally was simpler yet offering better solution than most of it's competitor.

    Reasons for switching to Ally

    Tracking on ally was way easier compared to sheets, on org level, team level and individual level

    Pros:
    I supported the HR department in my institution to deploy Ally and configure it. KPI monitoring was a main objective on the list and we were amazed by how simplistic and facilitated Ally supports in this. We surely had to set the performance indicators and the formulas for assessing each. All the rest was done autonomously by Ally in terms of identifying the statistical events affecting those key performance indicators and calculating their values dynamically as things change from one semi-quarter to the other. Ally was very convenient in calculating the actual and expected progress and to display it graphically in association to each individual task. This was a major relief to the owner of the OKR. Moreover the actual progress can by dynamically updated due to events such as a check-in to the OKR or by adding Key Results to an objective. The main support that Ally can help in here is identifying measurable and actionable tasks and subtasks of goals and align it with the 5-year or 10-year vision of the corporation. This wasn't easy to do manually as most of the times the thinking phase surpasses the action phase which renders the strategic planning ineffective. Goal management is basically the main strength in Ally which unifies the management irrespective of the type of business of clients. Generalizing the Goal concept is what we really like in this software.
    Cons:
    Customization of the different components seem a bit tricky and complicated but to be fair it get much easier to do with some getting used to after getting acquainted with the different naming schemes and semantics.

    Pros:
    Provides great visibility into the work that matters. Before, we were using Google sheets to plan and track our strategic priorities, which made it difficult for the organization to know where we stood at any point in time. Now it is easy to see in real time how we are doing. Super easy to learn and use. If you can navigate a web site, you can easily use this product. That is important when we are inviting in additional users. We don't have a large support function within our company, so any users questions come to me. Fortunately, given the simplicity of the UI, that has been very manageable so far. Seamless integration with all of the systems we already use like Salesforce, Slack, Asana, Google Sheets, Hub Spot and many others. Connecting these systems to Ally requires no IT support and takes less than a minute. This means users can continue to do their work wherever they are most comfortable. Ally just brings it all together so there is one place where we can see how we are doing. Tremendous customer support. Every time an issue does come up, the company has been extremely quick to respond. I wish all my vendors were this easy to work with.
    Cons:
    We have been using the product for about 2 months so far and don't have any major complaints. The product does not have every feature we would like, but the company seeks our input and is working aggressively to implement the ones that make sense, which is all you can ask for. They have already addressed two features we asked for, both of which were rolled out in less than two weeks from the time we asked for them.

    OKRs Are Goal Setting and Ally is the Organizer

    5

    The hardest part about OKRs is the leadership needs to be bought in and make it a priority. The second hardest thing is organizing the goals (i.e . quantifying, alignment, etc) and creating transparency. Ally does a near perfect job of the organizing part.

    Users have to rely on Administrators to set up the projects. I would prefer to create a project for my overall work to be aligned to, rather than individually listed. It doesn't connect the individual's OKRs with the team if the Admin doesn't set it up to do so.
