In Perdoo, the number moves when a person moves it. Not when the work does.
Vindaris keeps your OKRs current without anyone updating them. It analyzes the work activity behind every goal, the tasks your team ships, derives live status, and flags a goal the moment its work stalls. Perdoo keeps clean OKR and KPI discipline, but progress still moves only when someone moves it.
Last reviewed August 2026
Perdoo links OKRs and KPIs to strategic pillars through a visual strategy map. Vindaris connects goals to the operational work that moves them and derives status from that work. Perdoo tells you where a goal sits in the strategy; Vindaris tells you whether the work behind it is moving.
Good OKR hygiene, still fed by hand.
Perdoo is one of the tidier OKR products: a clear split between objectives, key results and initiatives, a readable strategy map, and pricing that mid-size teams can plan around. The model stops at the initiative, so a KPI moves when its owner moves it and not when the work does.
Perdoo's strategy map is its standout feature. It gives teams a visual line from day-to-day OKRs up to company-level strategic pillars, and the separation of ambitions from results adds a clarity most OKR tools skip. For a team adopting OKRs and wanting to see how their goals fit, that structure is genuinely helpful.
The gap is one layer down. The strategy map shows that a goal exists under a pillar, but it does not show whether the operational work that is supposed to move that goal is actually happening. The tasks live in Jira, Asana, Planner, or HubSpot, and Perdoo never reads them. The owner types a progress update, and the map colors reflect that typed number, not verified delivery.
In Perdoo, a goal's status is a manual update inside a strategy map. The map gives context - you can see where the goal sits - but the number in it is still what someone typed in. When updates lag, the strategy view stops reflecting the operational reality, and nobody can tell from the map alone.
What teams consistently praised
- Clean separation of objectives, key results and initiatives.
- Readable strategy map that teams keep current.
- Good OKR coaching material and onboarding.
- Straightforward pricing for mid-size teams.
Where teams hit the limit
- Numbers move when a person updates them.
- Initiatives are listed, not read from the work tools.
- Risk depends on someone noticing and flagging it.
- Reporting reflects update discipline more than delivery.
Tidy OKR structure on the same manual input.
- Goals live in one system. Work lives in another.
- Teams update goals as a reporting exercise.
- Initiatives are listed rather than read from the work tools.
- Dashboards show what teams reported, which is not what happened.
- Risk depends on a person noticing first.
- The strategy map connects down to tasks, not just down to OKRs.
- Progress on a pillar is derived from work rather than rolled up from check-ins.
- KPIs and OKRs share one structure instead of sitting in parallel.
- Risk is flagged from stalled work, before the quarterly roll-up.
- EOS Rocks and OGSM run alongside, not as an OKR workaround.
Perdoo models the initiative. It does not read it.
Perdoo does something most OKR tools skip: it models the layer above the objectives, with pillars and a strategy map that give the OKRs a reason to exist. The model is well judged. It simply has no layer below the objectives.
| Object | Perdoo | Vindaris |
|---|---|---|
| Top of the model | Pillars and the strategy map | Strategy, and the same map |
| Middle | Objectives, key results, KPIs | Goals and KPIs in one structure |
| Bottom | Nothing. Delivery is outside the product | Projects and tasks, synced bidirectionally |
| Progress source | Check-ins against key results | Task state in the connected tools |
| KPIs and OKRs | Parallel structures that reference each other | One goal structure, two syntaxes over it |
Perdoo users tend to arrive at the same place: the strategy map is genuinely useful right up to the point where someone asks what is actually being done about a pillar that is behind. The answer lives in Jira and Asana, which the map does not reach. Vindaris extends the same map one layer down, so a pillar can name the tasks moving it.
Five views that keep strategy and execution in sync.
See every goal connected to the work moving it.
Drag and drop your alignment structure. Roll up work progress, KPIs and goals without enforcing any framework syntax.
Alignment Canvas →
Spot risk while there is still time to fix it.
Run heatmaps across teams, goals, KPIs and projects. Save views and get notified when risk levels change, from task movement rather than a reported number.
Combine tasks and projects across your systems.
Sync HubSpot, MS Planner, Google Tasks, Asana and more into one view. Bidirectional sync keeps everything current while teams stay in their own tools.
All integrations →
Everyone knows exactly what matters most.
A clear view of each person's goals, KPIs, projects and tasks. Start the week focused on what is due.
Run reports the way management needs them.
Rank teams, spot risks, compare KPIs to work. AI summaries push updates to Slack, Teams and email.
Keep the structure. Change where the numbers come from.
The pillar structure is the part worth preserving, and it imports directly. What gets added is the layer underneath it.
Perdoo exports the full hierarchy including pillars, objectives, key results and KPIs, with owners and current values. The strategy map structure carries over rather than needing to be rebuilt.
In Perdoo these are parallel objects that reference each other. In Vindaris they are two syntaxes over one goal structure, so the import usually collapses some duplication that had accumulated between them.
Connect Jira, Asana, Planner, HubSpot or Google. This is the layer Perdoo does not have, and it is what turns the strategy map from a diagram into something with live state.
Confirm which projects and tasks feed which objectives. The pillar view now shows not just which objectives are behind but which work under them stopped moving, which is the question the map previously raised without answering.
