Betterworks

Enterprise OKR + performance management leader.

By Betterworks Systems, Inc. · Founded 2013 · Menlo Park, CA · private

Betterworks is the enterprise OKR + performance management platform, founded 2013. The product is anchored on OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) and extends to performance reviews, feedback, and engagement. Strengths: deepest OKR functionality in category, strong fit for OKR-driven enterprises (Google-style "OKR culture"), and mature enterprise feature set. Best fit for enterprise companies committed to OKR methodology. Trade-offs: outside the OKR-led use case the product is less compelling, UX dated vs Lattice, and Ships slower than the challengers.
