Likelihood to Recommend Pave (Trove Information Technologies, Inc)
Pave seems to work really well in the technology/software industry. Not sure about others, but seems limited, depending on what roles/jobs you are looking at. Data can be pretty limited, especially when you get more granular and look at levels versus prefixes (junior, senior, etc.). Highly recommended as one of at least a few data sources for compensation, depending on industry

Easy to use Free version (if you sync your HR system) still valuable Company-sourced versus employee Well defined levels and scope for roles Always adding more countries and data Read full review Their customer service is fantastic. I absolutely adore my Relationship Success Manager, I still have a great relationship with the Account Executive that brought us on board. The tool has some hiccups but overall, of the three tools I demo'ed, it is the most user friendly. PayScale is transparent about the issues they are experiencing and what is on the horizon for improvements of the tool. We all expect some things to go a little wrong or not be the as user friendly as WE THINK it should be, and I appreciate that PayScale acknowledges that and is transparent about what's in the works for improvements along the way. I like the ability to customize pay structures, create favorites, and create new jobs on the fly. I've really enjoyed working in the tool and I'm excited to get our data cleaned up so that we can use all PayScale reporting and dashboards have to offer.

Need more data, especially for more niche roles Need more roles represented Need more industries covered Read full review Job titles can prove to be a challenge as they sometimes do not connect as well as you'd hope. This may require some extra work on our part to fit our needs into what Payscale provides. Generally, this is a small concern, but it is still something that should be updated to keep with some of the changes in titles/roles. It would be great if Payscale offered an online tool/area for watching recorded webinars or training sessions rather than having to do it live. As others have mentioned, with a busy schedule, it is sometimes challenging to find the time to watch live. Having a database would help ensure that the training can be accessed at any time. Options to perhaps break down some of the data in reports to provide to others who are less versed in the contents of the report and the overall system. I'd prefer to have to explain less of what is presented and let the data speak for itself where possible. Read full review Usability Pave (Trove Information Technologies, Inc)

Never had any issues with customer support as they are very responsive. The system is very reliable, therefore, we rarely interact with their customer support.

We have used or currently still use the others I listed. Others not found in TrustRadius include Ravio, Salary.com, and Figures.hr.
It is best practice in HR to use more than one source for compensation data and aggregate them together, which is what I do with Pave alongside other systems. I do consider Pave to be a better option compared to others, but I think the more compensation data you can get your hands on, the better.
Read full review Both PayScale and
Paycom were pretty comparable, but I liked the detail and sophistication of PayScale a little more. Because PayScale has a place to enter in info on both the job and the market, we went with this software. The other factor I took into consideration was that I was already using PayScale and didn't have to enter the entire company's data

Reduced time to find reliable compensation data Improved accuracy versus using other sources that are more crowdsourced More informed decisions around compensation and how we decide on what base salaries to offer Read full review PayScale has allowed us to better target our compensation strategy, which has reigned in managers who were increasing pay MUCH quicker than necessary. The changes we've made over the past couple of years have allowed us to pinpoint areas of need. For example, we adjusted our starting pay for our primary job class and reduced turnover from over 60% to under 30% in 18 months. Reduced turnover is a clear positive impact on ROI.
