User Testimonials
	BusinessObjects Data Integrator (discontinued)	Xactly Connect
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products Great tool for ETL with the ability to integrate with SAP products seamlessly. Supports Big data integration. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Xactly Corp When the client has source data in Salesforce, Workday or flat files, it works really well. If the client has too much data, it can be really slow or require lots of preprocessing. It's often better to do as much of the calculations as you can in the configuration rather than on the Xactly Connect side. So that regular comp admins with Incent Connect training but no Xactly Connect are able to make changes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Discontinued Products Processing business validations on the input data set. Scheduling and notification using the Admin console tool. Code management across group of developers. Simple deployment process across environment. Ability to deploy stand alone jobs to automate task. Integration with OS and support for variety of data bases. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Xactly Corp Flawless data integration Helpful data checkpoints Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Discontinued Products Writing custom components is a complex process. Along with ETL BODI should have some data quality integration. Ready documentation of the code and inbuilt commenting on components. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Xactly Corp SQL isn't the same syntax in Connect as it is in Sequal Server Management Studio, making it difficult for communities outside of Xactly to help with certain issues. Sometimes the scheduling part of the tool does not work as expected, but over all it is consistent. Incentivized RW Robert Walters Systems Manager Read full review
Usability	Discontinued Products It is a good ETL tool to use if you are SAP shop and looking for a simple and elegant solution for automation. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Xactly Corp Very user-friendly for a programming tool. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Xactly Corp Xactly is a very helpful tool ensuring appropriate and correct data is used when calculating commissions. The interface loads timely, but it is not intuitive to use. The learning curve to be proficient in Xactly takes a significant amount of time. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Discontinued Products It is a good package tool with SAP BO set of product line Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Xactly Corp I have not used another product like Xactly Connect. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
