Retired 31 December 2025: migrate off.
Compared with OKRnest
- Viva Goals is retired, so the question is not whether to choose it but where to go next: Microsoft names no successor and tells customers to export their data and pick their own replacement.
- For teams whose OKR practice lived in Viva Goals, OKRnest offers a fast restart with smart defaults, a team-level structure and no enterprise procurement cycle, so the habit survives the migration.
Solution overview
Viva Goals was Microsoft's OKR product, born from the ~$60M Ally.io acquisition in 2021 and bundled into the Viva suite with native Teams, Entra ID and Graph API integration. Microsoft stopped new development in December 2024 and retired the product entirely on December 31, 2025; the product page now redirects to a retirement notice.
Customers are told to export their data via API, Excel or PowerPoint and move to a solution of their own choice, with no successor recommended. Its relevance to buyers today is purely as a migration source: Microsoft-first organizations that ran OKRs in Teams now need a new home for the practice.
Strengths
- Was bundled into Microsoft 365 / Viva with native Teams integration, Entra ID and Graph API access, making it frictionless for Microsoft-first organizations.
Weaknesses
- Retired December 31, 2025, with feature development stopped in 2024.
- Microsoft explicitly tells customers to export their data and move to a solution of their choice; there is no successor product.
What customers say
No live review base remains: the G2 page returned a 404 by mid-2026 and the product is retired. Historical sentiment praised the Teams-native convenience for Microsoft-first organizations.
Any evaluation today is moot since customers are being migrated off the product entirely.
How they position themselves
The product page now redirects to a retirement notice. Positioning is over; the only message is migration guidance.
