Best Viva Goals alternatives in 2026

Microsoft retired Viva Goals on December 31, 2025 — every customer needs a new OKR home.

Updated July 31, 2026 · Ranked by our Microsoft Teams scoring · How we rank

Microsoft retired Viva Goals on December 31, 2025, with feature development stopped a year earlier, and offered no successor OKR product. For Microsoft-centric organizations this is a forced migration — and notably the second one for former Ally.io customers, who were moved onto Viva Goals after Microsoft's 2021 acquisition. The alternatives below are ranked by our Microsoft Teams category scoring, because staying inside the Teams workflow is usually the deciding factor for this buyer.

Migration notes

  • If you have not already, recover what you can of your OKR history — Microsoft's export guidance covered API, Excel, and PowerPoint formats.
  • Decide whether Teams-native workflow is a hard requirement or a preference. It changes the shortlist significantly (Teamflect is Teams-native, Tability integrates with Teams).
  • Weigh vendor independence this time — the two products that disappeared here were both owned by a platform giant whose priorities shifted.
