Workboard from the company of the same name in Redwood City, California is an objectives and key results (OKR) software tool.
Culture Amp is a great tool for employee surveys, and has been able to scale with us for 5+ years. It's customizable and helps provide rich data on how employees are feeling so that we can continue to use that feedback to improving our company culture quarter over quarter.
Workboard is well suited in any organization IMO, it allows the individual business units to quickly set, define, organize and track their respective OKR's and align them with the larger business goals. The speed at which we're able to do this with Workboard has allowed us to spend more time on the goals themselves and less time on the management of the goal-setting exercise.
Provides survey templates with benchmark data from all other users, grouped by industry and company size.
Very user-friendly analytics of the post-survey results- easy to apply filers, graphs, charts, heat maps, great visuals. The data and charts are also very easy to extract in several different formats such as Excel, PDF, and CSV.
Extremely easy to share results with leaders/managers, apply security permissions for only parts of the data if you don't want to share full company results.
They also have a library with very helpful/guided PowerPoint and storytelling templates for preparing a high-level overview of results and presentations.
Project management at higher level - includes tasks assignment, visual representations of the project status and deadlines
Increases the team members' sense of ownership - especially for people that are not used with or exposed to dedicated project management tools like Microsoft Project is.
User collaboration - which in turn reduces the communication via email
Increases the efficiency of the meetings - by quickly going through the action items and updating the task progress in the tool itself

It would be nice to have a notebook section where I can follow up on the courses I'm undergoing and the tools I'm learning, and to be able to share that progress with colleagues and on social media
If it incorporates all the organization, Culture Amp could offer a culture map so strategic improvements can be made for the organization
So I would give it a 10 once it is integrated, but because the integration was a challenge and I found the customer service to not be concierge level enough, I would have to lower it to an 8 for that reason.
I've used other products like IBM Kenexa as well as about 10 different engagement surveys. I've also used things like SurveyMonkey and Microsoft Forms and Culture Amp for companies that want to make decisions using better data. I would say Culture Amp was far and away better. Culture Amp stacks up and blows the competition away with the level of data you can dig into without being able to see what individuals set.
Workboard vs Microsoft Project(and its Server) is like comparing a regular sport car with Formula 1 cars. One is lighter, nicer, with a broader audience, it gets you there fast while the other one is dedicated, not as nice, especially built for it, not for everyone and it will get you there much faster.
