In terms of setting up special incentive programs, it might be better to have those paid out directly. Sometimes the system needs to be manually updated if for say a special service is sold to a pre-existing company. On our end we have to create "new customers" to reflect these new structures of incentives. It still works on CIQ, but it would be helpful for something on the site to allow us to modify this directly.

Pros
CaptivateIQ
  • Employee Self-Service: CapIQ include self-service portals for employees. This allows them to access their compensation details, track their performance, and understand how their pay is structured.
  • Error reduction - Manual calculation of incentives and bonuses is prone to errors, especially in organizations with complex compensation structures involving multiple variables, such as sales targets, performance metrics, and different payout rates. These errors can result in underpayments, overpayments, or discrepancies in compensation, which can lead to dissatisfaction among employees.
  • Real-Time Updates: In dynamic environments, compensation plans may change frequently due to shifts in business goals or market conditions. Compensation incentive software can quickly adapt to these changes, ensuring that compensation calculations remain accurate even as plans are updated. CapIQ allowed me to track my incentives live.

  • Crystal - It helps in understanding which are the key sales or opportunities to be closed to attain the required commission
  • Quota Attainment Tracker - This gives graphical representation of how much attainment has been achieved year wise
  • Tier attainment helps us to understand what more to be added to gain more to be added to go to next tier of commission

Cons
CaptivateIQ
  • Reporting is challenging. Even exporting payouts requires selecting a date, so if I want a full year of payouts for the entire team, I have to run 12 reports and combine the data. They have a reporting function, but it also requires a significant setup, and I have yet to figure out how to combine data from all of our plans with different columns.
  • Tracking down changes from prior periods can be tricky. This usually happens due to user error (whoops - admin set up something not quite right), but it might be nice to easily see what changed or why there is an increase or decrease from a prior period impacting the current payout.

  • Offering more advanced customization options would provide organizations with greater flexibility to tailor Everstage to their specific needs.
  • Integration with Third-Party Tools would be very helpful.

It's Wonderful. They have been accessible when in need. the response is immediate and genuine. the support wait time is not too long either. when a fault is pointed out, thy accept it and try to work on it and within a week they try to find a better option to resolve the issue. Accepting and working to deliver better is really appreciable thing. Kudos to the team on that

Spiff is super sleek and a top contender, honestly, though the price point difference between Captivate and Spiff took Spiff off the table quickly for us. Sales Cookie: we used it for a bit as Captivate didn't have a Hubspot integration, but we quickly outgrew the software and needed a more complex solution. Xactly just doesn't have a great user experience and level of customization needed for our plans. All of this to say, Captivate absolutely wins every time on value for cost and functionality compared to other solutions we have vetted.

Everstage in comparison has been providing agility, integration and insights better than the competitors. The UI and options to access are handy, chunky and user friendly. The best thing about everstage is, it does not have a difficulty or complex learning curve when it comes to establishing the learning curve for the new associates who always find it comforting and easy to accept to check in their daily goals and incentives.

Return on Investment

  • As a sales representative in this 700+ employee company, I couldn't tell you the ROI.
  • I will say it probably saves me an hour a month compared to traditional compensation reviews/approvals (think about PER representative)
  • There was an increase in sales representative satisfaction with commission tracking.
