Elate is going to change our strategy game (to a winning one)!

Working with Elate has been a very pleasant and enjoyable experience so far! This is easily one of my all-time favorite vendors because each and every member of the team that we have worked with on launching our implementation have been fantastic, extremely helpful, eager to solve our problems and find solutions, and just easy and fun to work with. I believe in the product itself, but the team is so great I would recommend Elate to others for both the product and the partnership!

Pros:

I love how easy it is to bring a strategic plan to life and have the plans, data visualizations, and commentary/notes all in one place. The accessibility and transparency that Elate provides to our organization's leaders will allow us to push the work forward in ways we've not been able to in the past.

Cons:

As a newer tool, there are features that are not yet available, but that are on the product roadmap. Our users often have a lot of desires in terms of ways to view details and data of our strategic and annual plans, and there are limitations to the more complex functionality at this time. However, having been a customer for less than a year, we've seen many new features and updates rolled out, and I'm optimistic that over time the features we would like to see will become available.

Reasons for choosing Elate

Cascade seemed to be geared towards large corporate customers and was going to be cost-prohibitive and/or not as democratic as we wanted a tool like this to be for our users. The Cascade team also felt really sales-y and didn't seem to understand the unique needs of a non-profit/K-12 education organization.

Vendor Response

Wow, Ben! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review of your experience with Elate. Hearing that we are your all-time favorite vendor is one of the best compliments and we're really appreciative. Thank you for your business and support. Cheers to you and your team! -TW

Elate makes strategic planning easy and lightweight enabling company goal and strategic objective alignment.

The Elate tool along with support from their account team(s) have supported our strategic planning maturity. The tools is easy to use to build the annual plan but it’s also easy to enable the leadership team to use the tool to manage their teams’ objectives. Elate has proved to be a reliable, valuable addition to our objective tracking.

Functionality

Pros:

How lightweight the tool is to establish company goals (themes) and objectives with key results. It’s relatively intuitive and integrates with MS Teams. An important benefit of Elate is the ability to consolidate strategic objective results across all teams into a visual scorecard that is actually useful from a tracking and reporting perspective.

Cons:

Some of the UI is clunky and doesn’t optimize the screen real estate, in addition, some of the search dialogs don’t work as expected.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review, Brian! We’re glad Elate has been helpful in supporting your strategic planning and making it easier for your leadership team to manage and track objectives. Really appreciate the feedback on the UI and search experience, too — I've passed this along to our team. Thanks again for partnering with us and for helping us keep improving! -TW

The goal is common

I didn't like it from the start, but they are working on the system and I see the improvements. That is the most important thing. I think the idea and the tool is good.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I like the hierarchy view idea where we can connect the dots between people, disciplines and departments. I think it is very important to be able to see the connections, dependencies between tasks and that view is very helpful in that sense. In a company the most important thing is to see the common values, goals, etc. With this and Elate there a very good way to show these, even for the smallest tasks in the Company. And yes, if something doesnt have a connection, then why we are doing it as an objective?

Cons:

- Can not open a link in a new page - Sometimes I can not tag someone - If you are opening something as an objective and you open another one frm that panel, if you close it it will close the parent objective as well.

Vendor Response

Hi Kornél, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with Elate. We love hearing that it’s helped connect the dots across your organization and prioritize your Objectives. Regarding the cons you described, I will be sure to pass those along to our product team to confirm if it's expected behavior or if you’ve encountered a bug. Overall, we're glad you've found Elate valuable and look forward to continuing our partnership!-TW

Functionality

Pros:

In addition to the software itself being highly useful for our team, the Elate team has always been highly responsive, open to feedback, and great to work with across the board. It is much easier to use Elate than trying to manage everything through spreadsheets and Powerpoint decks, which is what we did previously.

Cons:

The change management was the most difficult part, which wasn't as much about the Elate product, more about the process transformation. We used a combination of HR tools, project management tools, and Microsoft office solutions to manage pieces of planning/ops/day to day execution.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Elate, Sarah! We're thrilled to hear that the software has been impactful and equally delighted to learn about your positive experience working with our team! -TW

Elate Makes Strategy Planning Easy

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Elate makes strategic planning and reporting a breeze. The interface is simple and easy to use, which helps us keep our objectives updated and track progress effortlessly. The advanced reporting features, like hierarchy views and analytics dashboards, give us clear insights for better decision-making. Integration with our existing tools and reminder settings keep everyone on track. Overall, Elate has improved our team’s alignment and engagement with our company’s goals.

Cons:

We're on a big push for automation and integration, especially around AI. Elate doesn't offer any APIs or webhooks, which would make our lives a lot easier. I suspect these extras are to come, but having them now would greatly enhance our workflow and efficiency.

Functionality

Pros:

Ease of implementation ensured it was relatively quick to embed. User experience is really good which makes adoption a lot easier. Things like ability to update directly into Slack makes a huge difference. Advanced reporting makes it really easy to setup consistent updates. Connection to various other tools (e.g. SF, GDrive, Slack) makes connecting data very easy.

Cons:

There is a lot of functionality and there are parts that we don't use. My experience of systems is less is more. There is a danger Elate will start to try and do too much and lose it's value which I think is around strategic planning and OKR management.

Reasons for choosing Elate

Multiple reasons, but the overwhelming one would have been user experience and simplicity. It's easy to setup for admins and easy to update for users.

Vendor Response

Amit, thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on Elate. We love hearing about your positive experience with the UX and features like Slack integration and Advanced Reporting. And the best tool on the market? Wow! Maintaining the Radical Simplicity principle has been a priority for our product roadmap since day one and we don't plan to change that. Thanks again!

Pros:

Having an existing framework to optimize the way we execute on strategic initiatives was extremely beneficial rather than having to constantly solve for how to best organize, manage, and align all stakeholders.

Would love to have more control over report formatting. Text/image sizing/placement.

Reasons for choosing Elate

The product vision and existing functionality aligned best with the operational approach we have been attempting to create for the past few years.
