Likelihood to Recommend As we roll out new products or services, the learning and coaching platforms are key. They allow us to teach the team the content and then coach them as they video record their delivery of the content to a "client." This allows us to see how much they've absorbed and helps us to redirect them when needed.
Read full review Xactly Incent is well suited for communicating commission information to the field. I love that they can just log on and see all the data they need to verify the commissions they receive. I also like the option to post messages and announcements within the application.
Read full review Pros Allows us to quickly and easily capture and share information with sales teams who are on the go Provides an archive of content where users can go back and review and can be used for ongoing training The customer success team is very helpful in supporting our initiatives and giving us best practices Read full review It calculates the commissions so accurate based on the plan that we setup It details the data reports in terms of Rankings, Payouts, Employee history etc It works great with the combination of other Xactly products like Connect for automated processes and Analytics for Reports Read full review Cons We have yet to discover something about the system we don't like. If hard-pressed to find a flaw, it would be that whomever authors content, the content is tied to that individual; however, Allego has the capability to "reassign" content to a different author when needed. Read full review Maintaining Hierarchies can become difficult throughout the fiscal year if you have a multi-layered commissions model. My team would benefit from a smoother mechanism to update/maintain hierarchies in the system. Special characters are not supported in the tool and that can become a problem given we use the system globally. Game changer if the system allowed more customization on the people object. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We love Allego and the various wasy we can use it. It has been a game changer for our team in helping them stand out from the competition.
Read full review Xactly Incent is a great tool for calculating commissions. The interface is user friendly and the system is set up in a way that allows for multiple setups for each commission plan. Over the last couple years since I have been on the commission team we have been able to optimize our plans to promote scalability. Our sales and accounting teams have become familiar with navigating the system which promotes transparency. From an audit perspective, Incent provides us with the reports and data we need to provide to our auditors.
Read full review Usability The devil is in the detail. It's not intuitive to use, also not for Sales employees. You need to train them. For superusers like me you need a lot of training to administrate the system. It has a lot of functionalities and complexity like staging and upload orders, reset triggers, updating & creating rate tables. A lot of formulars are necessary to learn.
Read full review Reliability and Availability Xactly Incent is always available, they have planned monthly maintenance on Friday nights but are very proactive to communicate it. Monthly maintenance is useful as they address any bugs and also are constantly upgrading the user interface to make it easier to use.
Read full review Performance Xactly Incent performs extremely well. I have not experienced it "slowing down" when usage is heavy. This is particularly true when it comes to the regular recalculation of credits and commissions. It is not uncommon for Xactly to be dealing with hundreds of thousands of orders/credits in a pay period, but the system handles it well. Xactly recently changed their calculation engine and the speed for regular refreshes increased significantly.
Read full review Support Rating Whenever we run into questions or issues, no matter how small or large, the team is quick to respond and assist us through any challenges we have
Read full review They take the time to understand the system. They keep us updated on the status of our cases. Finally, their continued follow up ensuring the initial issue was resolved is very nice. They will not close the case out until they have confirmed that our issue has been completely resolved and fixed.
Read full review In-Person Training It was great, good explanations and good training material provided, we were able to get a really good idea of how to use the system. I also think that it was enough time to learn how to setup the system.
Read full review Online Training Xactly offers training on new releases on a monthly basis and training on basic principles regularly via registration. My experience with both is that they do not provide the in-depth knowledge necessary to truly master the system and advanced courses still do not go to the level needed to autonomously manage the system and plans. Professional services are a large part of any cloud based service such as Xactly and I feel a reliance on such paid consulting services is a great money-maker for Xactly.
Read full review Implementation Rating We have been satisfied with the implementation overall. The person from Xactly professional team was on our site to support the implementation and give us guides and instructions on how to operate the system in our case. it was really helpful moments. We have learned what and how to test Xactly Incent
Read full review Alternatives Considered I was not personally involved in the purchase of Allego, but came to the organization shortly after. I would say that Allego stacks up to both
Gong and
Litmos pretty well with a few differences.
Gong is a little more robust when it comes to the functionality of call intelligence and coaching and has a little more to offer when it comes to syncing up to
Salesforce . But doesn't have the content storage or LMS capability.
Litmos has the badging capability that Allego does not, but it didn't have the CI and content storage like Allego does
Read full review I have been working on Incent since one year. I found it to be the greatest tool for calculating commissions. From credits to commissions to sketches, the system has it all, including the ability to conduct reports and statistics. It has a lot of features and customizations that are necessary for creating complex commission plans and calculating commissions. I enjoy its modern and user-friendly interface that makes the product more fascinating. Furthermore, the team's latest updates are excellent and make the product more effective and friendlier
Read full review Scalability It's very flexible. In most cases it can be adapted to your needs by programming which may cost extra money. We have a lot of different complans and close to 1.000 employees using Xactly in EMEA. It's mainly used by Sales and Finance
Read full review Return on Investment We use it as a CRM for our customer interactions. This tool allows us to manage our customers efficiently. We call through the software, and calls are automatically captured along with the call records and captured as tasks completed. We use call coaching from the recorded calls to enable our team to improve further. Data upload of the past customer records are very cumbersome. UI is not in the same level as the market leaders like Salesforce etc, Read full review We are able to quickly and easily identify duplicate credit and commission calculations through data extracts in Incent. We have literally saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by identifying gaps in our sales operations processes, which were giving multiple people credits on the same deals, across multiple GEOs. We have cut processing time by 75% through Xactly Incent automations versus calculating manually in Excel. Read full review ScreenShots Xactly Incent Screenshots
