Elate

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

Commentaires : 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!

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Elate Makes Strategy Planning Easy

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

The goal is common

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

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?

Inconvénients :

- 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.

FT Longitude review of Elate

Commentaires : Fantastic! It's the best tool on the market for strategic planning, has great user experience and many impressive features.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Elated with Elate!

Commentaires : The Elate team has been very supportive since day one. Any and all questions that come up are responded to with genuine care and attention. They always act as though they are vested in our success just as much as our internal team.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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