OKR and product planning for the pros.
Verified reviewer
- My team and I have deep experience with product management and executive planning practices, and Vistaly seamlessly fit our existing models around what matters and what doesn't in that space
- We started using it early on, and have been increasingly impressed with both the pace of development and the types of new features that have rolled out
- It's only going to get better
- There isn't a mobile option
- yet, which is a bit of a snag when I want to check something and I am on my phone
- But I've heard the team is working on it
- It can't be an easy problem to solve due to the nature of the tool
- But yeah, if I had any complaint, that'd be it
- And it's not really a big deal

Extremely powerful tool for product discovery
It's been exceptional. I'm fortunate to have been a relatively early user of Vistaly, the Vistaly team practice what they preach and are always interested to learn how we do and want to use Vistaly, and build that feedback into the product. Having undertaken CDH training with [sensitive content hidden] , I was keen to dive in and create an OST. Vistaly made it really easy to do so in a way that helps to structure and undertake product work. The ideas and learnings you create take life as cards, rather than just being an unusable sticky note in other tools. It really has become the tool I hoped would exist, and continues to evolve into more.
- With Vistaly, we structure, model, and visualise how the outcome, discovery, and delivery spaces connect
- It really helps to put Continuous Discovery Habits into practice
- Really I'm struggling to think of any con, other than it can be quite addictive when you get absorbed into the work
- Vistaly really empowers strategic work

Miro OSTs can be a pain to move cards around as trees grow, and are separate from roadmapping tools. Vistally really brings all elements of the product process together, making me more efficient and effective.

Great tool for product trios to drive top of funnel
Using Vistaly we are more easily able to achieve alignment across product, design and engineering roles in the 'product trio'. It is more clear to these folks now, why we have chosen to do the things we have chosen.
It is a tailor-made tool to enable Continuous Discovery Habits method and the benefits of following CDH in product work becomes possible partially thanks to Vistaly
- The experience modifying the maps could be a bit more fluid e
- g
- more drag and drag support

A tool that holds the "why" in your mind's eye from discovery through execution.
Buying Vistaly is like buying a product consultant in a box. Go through the effort of setting up a tree, then blow it away and do it two more times. Just doing that alone is worth more than most product consultancies or product management courses.
Vistaly helps you think clearly about what you're doing, and makes communicating that rationale easier and more honest
- Vistaly still falls short a little bit on nuts and bolts project management usability, like stack ranking or communicating deadline driven prioritization
- Then again, I don't think that's what it's trying to achieve

Wanted to be about making something that matters, not just making more stuff faster.

Perfect tool for driving the alignment and adopting Continuous Discovery Habits approach
While we thought we were just getting a tool to further incorporate the OSTs across our product alignment cycle, we have also received fantastic product coaching during onboarding, solidified our product practises, and overall increased the culture of product thinking across the company.
- Vistaly has become a game changer for our team in solidifying the usage of Opportunity solution trees and other aspects of continuous discovery
- it became essential in strategic alignment between Product Development and other teams
- We are looking to take it further now and place the overall company strategy work in Vistaly, as well as further incorporate it in day to day work
- High touch support is absolutely phenomenal, so is the passion of the founding team to promote and enable best product development practises
- nothing to mention - for such an early stage the application is convenient to use, constantly evolving and observations/wishes/requirements we share get added into the backlog of the team instantly
- This is quite remarkable

Vistaly is made to accomodate the Continuous Discovery habits heuristics, it's very native to the approach we were already using and thanks to how it's structured, it's much more powerful in keeping things clear and well defined.

The #1 tool for operationalizing "Continuous Discovery"
Great job to the Vistaly Team! Happy to belong to the first group of customers to further shape how products are built.
- The software is opinionated, it only let's you do things in a certain way and I think that's great in this case
- It follows the teaching of [sensitive content hidden] which matches with our product philosophy
- You are kind of automatically using best practices through the software
- Users are guided to follow a certain path, which helps a lot, especially in this still relatively new field of product development
For managing the role/rights of a user, you need to uninvite the user and re-invite him with the new access rights
Why they chose it
"We were using traditional virtual whiteboard software, but as this software is not tailored towards managing OSTs, we quickly ran into problems, e.g. showing progress, clear distinction between things that are considered vs. addressed, prioritization etc."

Best Tool by Far to Connect Product Strategy, Discovery, and Delivery
Verified reviewer
- The ability to visualize top down from company goals to product solutions is an invaluable asset to managing across your product
- Very intuitive and easy to use even as your opportunity solution trees becomes broad and deep
- Vistaly is a massively helpful tool in communicating the connection between your strategy, discovery, and delivery
- At times it can be difficult to juggle the level of detail to add in Vistaly vs your other tools and processes
- (weekly updates, PRDs, etc
- ) I think planning up front can be helpful to this

I was trying to build the Vistaly experience in these other tools which was unwieldy to say the least.

Very pleased with the product
Verified reviewer
- While whiteboards are excellent for initial idea generation, they fall short for structured development and long-term project management
- Vistaly offers a solution that retains the creative freedom of a whiteboard but adds the organizational capabilities of a database
Minor quibble: Vistaly's design is universally useful but its nomenclature is very oriented towards the product management use case context specifically

The tool that visualizes the way I think
I've had a great experience with Vistaly, and love the way they are thinking about the future of the product.
- Vistaly has not only been able to visualize the way I think about the product discovery and execution process - but it's served as a tool to help me improve the way I do product management
- It's both a tool and a teacher, providing the structure to a world of unstructured thinking
- The thing that was difficult about Vistaly was getting it setup with the historical context
- It did take a little bit to go through and map everything out that has already been done - but
- that's kind of the point, so it was painful in the beginning but worth it in the end

Vistaly has been a gamechanger
Vistaly has filled a need at our startup that we all felt but couldn't put into words: it has given us a one-stop shop for discovery, prioritization, and stakeholder communication. It allows us to zoom in on opportunities and record ideas or zoom out and see the bigger picture. It builds trust with stakeholders, who know their ideas are valued and recorded. So far, we are very satisfied and grateful to the team for their support and openness to feedback.
- Vistaly has been a gamechanger for how our Product Team handles the discovery process and communicates with stakeholders
- It has not only given us a place to record opportunities and ideas as they come up, but it allows us to clearly communicate with stakeholders what we are pursuing and why
- At the moment, our team is very new to Vistaly
- The only challenges we've had have related to not knowing the full functionality of it or how to integrate it into our workflow, but the team has been incredibly responsive and Vistaly is becoming a key part of how we work
