ODE vs Betterworks
Why organizations choose ODE over Betterworks for goal management and strategic execution
The Bottom Line
Betterworks (now including Gtmhub) is a powerful enterprise platform for continuous performance management and OKRs. It's ideal for HR-led goal programs. For operations teams who need goals connected to work output, procurement, and decisions, ODE provides the full operational layer Betterworks lacks.

The Manual Update Problem
The #1 complaint with all HR-focused OKR tools: manual progress updates.
Betterworks Workflow
- Set OKRs in Betterworks
- Track tasks in separate tool (Jira, Asana)
- Manually update OKR progress weekly
- Hope the numbers sync at quarter end
ODE Workflow
- Set SMART Goals/OKRs with wizard
- Link to Work Projects & Work Items
- Complete work → goals auto-update
- Real-time visibility, no manual sync
