Perdoo Reviews

“Great platform for creating OKR system in creating small teams goals

Pros

I find Perdoo to be the best at understanding the OKR system and how Objectives, Key Results, and daily tasks are interconnected.

Cons

The app for phones could be faster and more intuitive for me.

“Great platform for OKR goal-setting framework

Pros

Perdoo helps me strategize, set OKRs, KPIs, and conduct performance reviews all in one place. It bridges the gap between my vision and daily tasks efficiently. Plus, their collection of ebooks and free content aids in my learning.

Cons

I find that the Perdoo Android app is not as good as the web app.

“Great OKR software

Pros

The forms and templates in Perdoo assist me in precisely defining each objective or Key Result, which is often the trickiest part for me. The check-in feature ensures I stay focused throughout the cycle.

Cons

It takes me some time to customize the views based on the filters (cycle, owner, objective). Some of the metrics in the health report are not relevant for me, so it would be great if I could customize it a little bit.

“Check in with Perdoo

Pros

It is an excellent tool for keeping track of my goals and staying aligned with my team's objectives.

Cons

It takes me a bit of time to learn how to use all the functions, but its very helpful once I do!

“Great tool for OKRs, strategy & performance boost

Pros

Perdoo is incredibly intuitive for me in implementing OKRs and executing strategies. It significantly enhances my team's performance and goal achievement. Tracking KPIs and OKRs is effortless, allowing me to concentrate on progress towards desired outcomes and boost team engagement.

Cons

I have no cons at the moment, there is nothing I don't like so far.

“Pratical and easy to use as an OKR tool

Pros

This software offers me a straightforward user experience, providing clear views from both company and individual perspectives. The setup process is relatively simple for me.

Cons

I think the team member management can be improved to be more user-friendly.

“It has a lot of features and is simple to use (?????? ????)

Pros

Their alot of features combined with its simplicity make it an invaluable tool for me in OKR tracking and implementation. It covers all aspects necessary for successful tracking, progress, cooperation, and communication.

Cons

I like almost everything that Perdoo is providing currently.

“Joining the dots between our goals and long-term strategy

Pros

As a team fairly new to goal-setting across the organization, Perdoo's resources have been invaluable for us. We now track all team goals and monitor progress using their dashboards during team meetings. It is evident that Perdoo is thoughtfully designed to meet our needs.

Cons

I have not come across anything I dislike up to now, I am really impressed.

“Frustrating, un-usable in many cases, barely MVP

Pros

The support team's responsiveness was impressive for me. While they acknowledged issues promptly, they also promptly addressed any concerns I raised.

Cons

It does not really work for me. I found that figures were overwritten constantly, so I had to write the figures with workings in descriptions. Descriptions for key results were often overwritten while I was browsing through. Update emails were just question marks. I reported all of these to Perdoo, but none were resolved. We got an email saying it was in certain situations, but we continued to experience problems. I did not pay $2k to be a beta tester for MVP software.

“Dodgy marketing practises.

Pros

It is easy to set up, perhaps a little too easy, as there is no easy way out once I am in!

Cons

They use captive marketing practices. I can't even unsubscribe from their continuous marketing emails without having to log in to my account.

“Great vizualization tool for your most complex projects

Pros

Perdoo simplifies breaking down projects into manageable parts, aided by excellent visualization. Regular check-in notifications are a great feature for me.

Cons

I find it harder to use on the go on my smartphone. While Perdoo shines on desktop, my mobile experience is bad.

“First time user - loving it

Pros

The practicality of Perdoo's Check-In feature is commendable for me, and its simplicity is appreciated.

Cons

We could not edit a starting value for a KR, so that quarter we were always off track, even though we had progress.

“Provides great focus

Pros

Implementing OKRs across our business has been a positive exercise for me, largely thanks to Perdoo. It ensures teams stay true to their OKRs and keeps them visible to the entire organization.

Cons

The roadmap view is my favorite way of visualizing how OKRs cascade down through time and across groups. It can be quite tricky for me to get this set up properly so that the default view is the most complete one.

“Has a very a strong sense of what it likes and doesn't like

Pros

I LOVE their user-friendly interface and thoughtful incorporation of OKRs and KPIs and it make a standout choice for me.

Cons

I notice a lack of integrations. There is no way of managing staff performance within Perdoo, and it could use the ability to set personal development plans.

“Extremely user friendly, well designed, and functional

Pros

Perdoo's ease of use, excellent user interface, and comprehensive features make it a top choice for me for OKRs. Its thoughtful usability features make tasks quick and easy.

Cons

They did a recent UI change this year that I did not like a lot, but I have minimal problems.

“Good software to track goals

Pros

Their of use and functionality, coupled with the availability of free versions, make it an attractive option for me.

Cons

The software does exactly what it says, however, our company found alternate software that linked better with another system we use internally.

“The Transparency our Teams Needed

Pros

It provides transparency to our teams, helping me understand expectations, measure progress, and prioritize work effectively.

Cons

I feel the team insights could be more detailed when taking an overall company look.

“Works smoothly, have all required functions, very nice UX

Pros

Smooth functionality, comprehensive features, and a pleasant user experience make Perdoo stand out for me. Navigating between projects, owners, and initiatives is effortless.

Cons

The only problem for me is the price, it is a bit expensive for small or low-budget startups. It does not have a mobile app.

“If you work with OKR, then Perdoo has the best software solution

Pros

Perdoo's usability supports OKR usage from start to finish, offering a modern interface that makes work enjoyable for me.

Cons

So far, I could not find anything that I do not like about Perdoo. And if something does not work, a message to support helps, and help is provided.

“It completely transformed the way we approach strategy.

Pros

Perdoo facilitates long-term objective planning and visualization, keeping me focused and providing an easy way to monitor progress during team meetings.

Cons

There is nothing that I can think of. Early on, there were some features that I felt should be added to the platform, but most of them have arrived in subsequent updates.

“Great, focused tool for OKR management

Pros

Their focus on OKRs without unnecessary complexity sets it apart from competing tools for me. The continuous addition of features like check-in functionality and explore feature enhances our OKR management process.

Cons

Occasionally (although not frequently), I experience some small technical glitches, like an update to an objective not being saved on the first attempt.

“Delivers where others could not

Pros

This software delivers on its promises, aligning OKRs effectively within our organization for me.

Cons

Some of the concepts were a bit different from my initial readings on OKRs, but they made sense in the end.

“It has it's shortcomings, but it's the best OKR software on the web

Pros

Their simplicity, progress visualization, and integration of OKRs and KPIs make it an excellent choice for organizational alignment and goal tracking for me.

Cons

I see no robust notification system, Perdoo can notify me via email and there is Slack integration, which I can use to push every change in every OKR to one Slack channel, but it is not practical. There is no mobile app technically, there is a mobile app on Google Play, but its useless. There are meaningless limitations: If I choose to have stretched OKRs (which I should, it is OKRs nature), Perdoo only enables Googles 0.3, 0.7, 1.0 model, which does not let me use a less stretched model like 0.4, 0.8, 1.0.

“Great way for Following your OKRs

Pros

Perdoo's ease of use ensures everyone stays on the same page and visualizes the connection between main goals and other objectives effectively for me.

Cons

Perhaps the price is the least likable item for me on Perdoo.

“Helps you focus on what is really needed to succeed in your business

Pros

It strikes the right balance in functionality for successful OKR implementation, with a straightforward interface and ample documentation for easy onboarding for me.

Cons

I notice a missing graphical export of the entire OKR Map.

“Perdoo

Pros

Keeps us focused and aligned as a team.

Cons

It is hard for me to attribute each individuals contribution to the company-level goals.

“Best tool for driving engagement on OKRs

Pros

Overall, the tool is very simple to use. The UX is intuitive and it is easy for new users to onboard the platform. It has made the adoption of OKRs very smooth in our organization. Transparency was promoted through the tool and easy accessibility of other peoples OKRs.

Cons

The app experience is not on par with the web version. It is hard to use on mobile.

“Perdoo review

Pros

User interface, functionality, regular updates, and documentation/blogs...

Cons

I have set it open to every user to be transparent, but not everybody is using it. It is more something to realize. I give regular updates and use the Slack connection, and thats fine.

“Review

Pros

The mapping structure is really functional for us.

Cons

I introduced more features last year. Given that I want people to start using the program, it helps when it looks as easy as possible.

“A wonderful tool for company OKR alignment

Pros

Weekly check-ins are easy to submit. The user experience is well rounded, streamlining our OKRs and making it very easy to learn how to use the software. Being able to see and track the weekly results, as well as changes made previously, is appreciated.

Cons

Its sometimes annoying when I change objectives and key result titles. If I release the left mouse button outside of the title box when highlighting, it cancels the changes and I have to rewrite the edits. Every so often, I also encounter a something went wrong page when idling too long on an objective page.

“Great and focused OKR platform

Pros

It is focused only on OKRs and does that job very well. Other platforms include e.g. 1-on-1 feedback and coaching functionality, which makes implementation more difficult. Perdoo was easy to get started with and it works well across the teams.

Cons

It does contain a few bugs, but I find the team quite receptive to feedback and easy to work with.

“Perdoo is a great job to achieve strategic alignment with OKRs

Pros

We like the weekly check-in process, and the user experience around showing progress on Objectives and Key Results. It's easy and intuitive to setup and update OKRs. Particularly I appreciate the aspect of Perdoo that connects together KPIs and OKRs as both being critical to achieve goals. The feature to track initiatives is also a nice tweak to the traditional OKR model.

Cons

Clearly, this is a product that is still being rapidly evolved. There are some rough edges and bugs I have reported to support and had put onto the product road map, but there is limited visibility into the upcoming road map and recent releases. For instance, there is an arbitrary limit of KPIs (4), and I cannot look at OKR insights for sub-groups within a business unit.

“Great tool to align your team

Pros

It is easy to use, Tool is set up to use OKR and KPIs in the Best way , Good dashboards to see development , Quick support, Easy to add new people

Cons

There is nothing that I do not like about Perdoo.

“Business Strategy Alignment and Cascading

Pros

The ability to plan a company BHAG, move from binary to SMART metrics

Cons

I do not have anything that I can point out.

“The only one OKR tool

Pros

Perdoo is very intuitive. Next to that it's obvious that the software has been developed by people that are very well known with how to set up OKRs within a company and its teams.

Cons

There is no pricing plan for small teams.

“Getting to grips with OKRs

Pros

Very positive experience with Perdoo. One potential drawback for us (being in NZ) is that they don't yet have a local support hub down this way. This meant some of the calls I had with our assigned coach were in our early evening rather than business day.

Cons

They have not immediately implemented all of my suggestions, though they have implemented at least one.

“Excellent tool to orchestrate strategy execution in your organisation

Pros

We are strong believers in OKR to help the organisation to make ambitions measurable, prioritise initiatives and create a better understanding of the link between daily activities and the overall strategy. Perdoo is a great tool to streamline this administrative process around it. It improves structure, standards and visibility within our organisation and helps to align feature teams, Sales, Marketing, Risk etc.

Cons

As a tool in development, I am sometimes unable to customize the views and overall set-up to fit my specific needs. Luckily, these feature requests are recognized by the Perdoo team and picked up in their roadmap (e.g., updated explorer and roadmap).

“Very easy to use!

Pros

I like that for me, as an inexperienced OKR-user I'm quickly able to learn how to implement these goals in my daily routine using Perdoo.

Cons

I would rate Perdoo even higher if the design were a little more 'clean' and simplistic.

“Edge Accelerate (10X-E)

Pros

Easy to use, easy to setup, simple and easy-to-read user interface

Cons

The Maps UI is a bit clunky. I cannot integrate it easily with internal client data to allow auto-updating of key results. It does not allow weighting of OKRs and does not allow auto-update of annual scorecards based on progress within quarterly scorecards. The scorecards for each time frame have to be updated manually. These comments are based on feedback I received from our scale-up clients.

“Clean Software for clean OKR methodology

Pros

Perdoo is the best OKR software to accompany the launch of OKR.

Cons

There is nothing negative about this software.

“Great for working with OKR's, easy to use and well designed

Pros

It is easy to understand and offers great functionality, I particularly find the roadmap very useful. Looks good too and even for people on our team new to OKRs, it's a very hands-on way to start working with them.

Cons

I ran into a something went wrong screen once or twice, but not on key features. I think this has already been fixed too. I have not yet reached out to support, but judging by the product, it is probably fine as well.

“Measuring what matters requires an effective way to Measure AND Manage

Pros

The software is functional and does what it is supposed to do. After a bunch of research we thought it was the best OKR software on the market, and it was clear from their blog and site that they knew the space quite well.

Cons

It is perhaps a little pricey, but if effectively utilized, the price ought to be justified by any organization. I would also very much like to see it extended to enable multi-divisional use such that top-level corporate objectives can align down through divisions, teams, departments, etc. This would be incredibly powerful. Note: The Perdoo product team has been very receptive to this idea, and perhaps it will arrive in the future.

“Very user friendly

Pros

The fact that Perdoo is solely focused on OKR was a deciding factor for me. I was not interested in paying for functionalities that were not pertinent to OKR or that would cause confusion with existing employee engagement tools we use.

Cons

Nothing yet! I tried other OKR tools, and none of them are as user-friendly and intuitive as Perdoo.

“A goal management platform that focuses on your success

Pros

It is simple , nice that You have drop down: company, team, individual goals

Cons

This is not to do with the software, but OKR in general can be difficult. It is hard for me to get all employees on board and not make it feel like extra work. The professional services provided by Perdoo in our first year actually made things a lot easier. I had been working with OKR for about a year with a spreadsheet, and a lot of the difficulties I encountered within my first year of OKR were immediately addressed by my Perdoo coach.

“Good OKR software, too expensive, their required (expensive) coaching was not delivered well

Pros

The fact that they have now brought KPIs into their system emphasizes once more that Perdoo continues to lead developments in the enterprise goal management space. Brining OKRs and KPIs together in one place is, in our view, a brilliant move and makes Perdoo the most robust goal management system we looked at. The system helps us understand the difference between the things we need to do "to keep the lights on" and what we need to focus on to realize our ambitions.

Cons

The major issue for me is that the high cost for the software and the required coaching did not even come close to matching the value I received. My first coach was hard to get ahold of, then left the company in the middle of working with me, then I moved to another coach, and she was great, but then was unavailable during our next round and instead I was put back in touch with my salesperson, but then he was out. I think they are a small well-meaning company that might just be experiencing growing pains.

“Awful experience with their sales department, never again!

Pros

Ease of utility for all users. Excellent graphical interface. Strong transparency and ability to track data - even when it fluctuates. Excellent training and support resources

Cons

I experienced terrible service and found them not customer-focused.

“Good experience ramping up. AM is superb translating our business into Perdoo.

Pros

The software is very focused on OKR methodologies and helps us reinforce best practices. Additionally, Perdoo as a company is very focused on making sure we know how to leverage the tool.

Cons

Some bugs occur, and Engineering is really responsive. For example, aligning individual OKRs to hierarchy could avoid displaying all individual and company OKRs. It causes some confusion among users.

“Perdoo is a wonderful company and the product is getting better week after week.

Pros

It is simple , It is not only a software but an OKR business model concept. Support is great. It is OKR 100%, compared to other software that is more complete but more complex as well.

Cons

At times, the interface has some not-so-intuitive behaviors and layouts. There are times I would like to see a different presentation of content and cannot get what I want to see on the screen. Sometimes, the app is a little slow as well.

“Simple and Powerful

Pros

For me, it offers ease of utility for all users. The graphical interface is excellent, providing strong transparency and the ability to track data even when it fluctuates. The training and support resources are excellent.

Cons

Sometimes it is a little buggy. The connection with Asana or Trello could be better. Reports could also be better, but that is not a real problem for me now.
