Overall benchmark score

Workpath is a strategy execution platform for large European enterprises, with Siemens Energy, Bayer and Philips among the logos on its site. KPIs come first in the product story and OKRs second, and the only trial comes after a demo — so this profile and its scores are documentation-based, not hands-on.

Workpath Highlights
Strengths and considerations based on available data. AI flags reflect the separate AI assessment; platform-level numeric ratings have not been refreshed in that review.
Strengths
  • KPIs, goals and initiatives in one platform
  • Deep Microsoft integration: Teams, Power BI, Planner, Azure DevOps and Entra ID
  • ISO 27001 and TISAX certification with EU hosting, which matters to German manufacturing and automotive buyers
  • AI aimed at goal quality: drafting key results, a quality checker, and flags for duplicated or conflicting goals across teams
Considerations
  • The interface looks dated and form-heavy in the public material we could find
  • The website keeps the product out of sight – real screens only surface in help articles and videos
  • Licensing takes work to model: modules, three licence types, and a separate licence for analytics

Tability logo

An alternative to Viva Goals (discontinued) and Workpath: Tability

Tability is an AI-native OKR platform built around a simple idea: the weekly check-in is the habit that keeps goals alive. Plans import from a paste of text, every key result gets its own page and progress graph, the dashboards leadership will ask for exist before you build anything, and the AI layer – an MCP server, scheduled reports, agents that can own a goal – comes wired in rather than bolted on.

On this benchmark it scores 4.5/5, against Viva Goals (discontinued)'s 3.4 and Workpath's 3.1 – measured with the same recorded 30-minute scenario as every tested platform, with the session evidence published. The widest gaps are on pricing transparency, AI features and ease of use. Neither platform outscores Tability on any of the seven criteria.

Tability also publishes its pricing – plans start at $6/user/month, where both Viva Goals (discontinued) and Workpath are quote-only.
