Microsoft Viva vs. Reward Gateway Employee Engagement Platform (SmartHub)

Well suited for

• Companies that have experience of using the OKR methodology and have a clear understanding of what it is
• Companies that are planning to expand/scale the OKR program
• Companies that are looking to reduce the effort involved in running the OKR program

Ill-suited for:

• Companies that are using OKRs for the first time and do not have a clear understanding of the methodology

Because of it's scalability, the RG Employee Engagement Platform works for just about any company. It enables ease of communications, peer shout outs, rewards/recognition and the perks are a major bonus. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a platform like this.

• Accelerate integrations and add more integrations.
• Ally.io has room for improvement in providing benchmark in-depth analysis across industries, same-size companies, etc.
• Ally.io can still improve upon some of its product features and communicating the releases. Videos have been extremely helpful.

• The SmartHub is a bit intimidating BUT end users don't really have to modify it unless they want to, I try not to and my account manager helps with changes.
• There are honestly no negatives, the platform is amazing

Ally was preferred over the alternatives due to the following:

• Quick turnaround by reps
• Detailed product demo
• Ease of use in comparison other tools
• Clarity in terms of how Ally.io could resolve Crayon's existing issues

TinyPulse was an excellent platform for getting feedback from employees, and having a dialogue with them about it, but less well suited as a communications or recognition platform.

Incentivized

• AI co-pilot makes it easier to be more direct and less "wordy"
• Teams is a great program and I like how it's seamless and more advanced when you want to convert a file type.
• Tasks section is great way to keep track of lists that I constantly forget. Now I just use my computer to keep track of my "to-do list"

Incentivized

• Increased transparancy throughout the organization
• Better, more immediate communications
• Increased comradery between department
• Recognition is immediate
• improved cultural alignment
