In May 2025, Quantive (formerly Gtmhub) was acquired by WorkBoard, one of its biggest competitors in the OKR and strategy execution space. This consolidation is already reshaping how customers manage their strategic initiatives.
But for many Quantive users, this unwanted transition is disruptive.
With forced platform migrations, shifting data residency, and changing product roadmaps, strategy teams are now asking: “Is it time to find a new path.”
If you're in that group, here's why Workpath has emerged as one of the best Quantive alternatives in 2025.
What Happened to Quantive?
Quantive, originally known as Gtmhub, built its reputation around OKRs, KPI tracking, and strategic alignment. The company rebranded in 2022 and positioned itself as a leader in results-oriented enterprise software.
In May 2025, WorkBoard announced the acquisition of Quantive, and is now merging the platforms into one. This means:
While some organizations may follow the migration to WorkBoard, others are looking to regain control over their strategic tooling — and are exploring options like Workpath.
Why Many Organizations Are Reconsidering the Move to WorkBoard
Here are the most common concerns we're hearing from former Quantive users:
Loss of Product Familiarity
WorkBoard has a different UX and execution philosophy. Teams now face retraining, new admin processes, and unfamiliar workflows, right in the middle of their OKR cycles.
Data Residency Concerns
Quantive offered EU-hosted options. WorkBoard, headquartered in the U.S., may shift data hosting under U.S. jurisdiction, potentially exposing sensitive enterprise data to CLOUD Act implications.
Work Council Concerns
European enterprises often need approval from work councils and data protection officers before switching tools. WorkBoard’s U.S. ownership and approach can raise concerns about compliance, transparency, and cultural fit, especially in organizations with global operations. Teams face pushback, slower rollout, and friction with internal stakeholders.
Top-Down Focus
WorkBoard emphasizes executive dashboards and alignment from the top. For companies embracing agile, cross-functional strategy execution, this shift may feel like a step backward.
Uncertainty About Long-Term Fit
With two product lines being merged and rebranded, there's a degree of ambiguity around roadmap priorities, feature parity, and how much influence long-time Quantive customers will retain.
