AchieveIt vs OnStrategy

AchieveIt is a cloud strategic planning and execution platform connecting people, plans, and data with measurable progress. It supports integrated plans, unlimited plans organized around an organization’s own methodology, multi-plan views, dashboards, and real-time progress reports. Automated requests collect status, commentary, and metric updates on a chosen cadence. Custom dashboards can combine information from any plan and be scheduled for delivery, while widgets can embed dashboard information on websites, intranets, or SharePoint sites. The Data Integration API imports metrics from CRM, ERP, HR, and other systems, including CSV files. A Microsoft Teams integration is in beta for activity notifications, channel subscriptions to plans, and actions from Teams. API requests require an API key, HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or later, and the web application’s role-based permissions. AchieveIt states that it maintains SOC 2 Type II attestation and FedRAMP authorization at the Low Impact Level. Packages include implementation and ongoing support, with a designated Customer Success Manager and Strategy Consultant. Pricing is by quote, and listed packages have a 20-user minimum.

OnStrategy is strategic planning software for building, managing, and communicating an organizational plan. Its planning tools include virtual whiteboards, exercises, guided workflows, and on-demand courses for creating or refreshing strategy. Teams can set goals or OKRs to connect individual work with organizational strategy, then use objective cascading, initiative tracking, strategy maps, and execution dashboards. Customizable dashboards and reports help share strategic performance with stakeholders. The cloud service is available on web, iOS, and Android, though its mobile application works only on certain devices. The Self-Guided Planning plan costs $200 a month and includes unlimited users, with no long-term commitment required. There is no free plan, but a 14-day free trial allows customers to switch plan types. Pre-built integrations are available for Microsoft Teams and Slack, and the FAQ describes thousands of integrations through Zapier. System support is included in the subscription. Phone support is available weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time; webform questions can be submitted at any time, with an attempted one-business-day response but no guaranteed response time.
