OneDirectory vs orgchart.live

OneDirectory is a web service that builds employee directories, searchable profiles, and interactive organizational charts from Microsoft Entra ID data. A one-way Microsoft 365 sync keeps profiles current. Employees can search people, roles, teams, skills, and offices, while profiles can include skills, contact details, reporting lines, assistant relationships, and dotted-line reporting. The org chart supports searchable and zoomable views, customizable layouts, and downloadable views. Profiles can start chats and calls through Microsoft Teams, Slack, Webex, or other supported messaging platforms. Authentication uses Microsoft’s identity platform with read-only, least-privilege access to Microsoft 365 profile data. OneDirectory runs on Microsoft Azure, stores data in the United States by default, and offers EU and Australia residency regions. Data is encrypted with 256-bit AES at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit. Pro starts at $349 a month for up to 250 profiles, with a 14-day full-access trial.

orgchart.live turns spreadsheets, pasted rows, PDFs and screenshots into organizational charts in a web browser. Its layout engine redraws charts as people move, aiming to limit overlaps and crossed lines. Shared links let people view a live chart with cursors; viewing needs no account, while editing requires sign-in. CSV and Excel files are parsed in the browser without sending the original spreadsheet file to the service. PDF and screenshot imports use model-based extraction, and the import dialog indicates this before selection. The pricing page lists PNG, PDF, SVG and editable PowerPoint exports; free PNG exports include a footer line. The Free plan is free and includes unlimited people and charts, spreadsheet import, live editing and PNG export. A 3-day pass is 4.99 USD once; Pro is $49 a year, and Business is $199 a year. Business adds sync with listed HR systems and directories. The web service is made by Hivetivity, which lists Atlanta, Georgia as its location.
