Certent Equity Management vs. Exenta HRMS

Certent Equity Management is well suited in the following ways: 1. [The] software provides seamless integration to internal software. 2. [It provides] detailed reports of market equity management. 3. [The] software prepares financial equity footnotes for 10k reporting very well. 4. It helps with award modification [as] needed. 5. I enjoy doing capitalization tables.

For general use, this software will greatly help to manage large teams. HR teams will have a more accurate and fastest way to maintain payroll notification for the workforce.Performance tracking really takes the prize. In my experience, it has been the easier tool to use so far, and really helps to keep track of the entire team and help them if issues arise.

I personally like the Equity Edge software better. The reporting is better and the software easier to use. The reason we didn’t continue to work with them is we didn’t want to use E-Trade as captive broker.

Pretty easy to go through and learn on your own.

I can only remember a couple of times when cannot access the system.

We do not access support directly. We go through Plan Mosaic.

We had a 2 hour introduction to the software over a Webex meeting by Plan Mosaic, and a user guide. Plan Mosaic is a reseller.

A lot of decisions had been made already when I joined. I thought it was a fairly smooth process. You just need to make sure that you do a good job of auditing all the awards that are transferred from system to system. We did a reverse stock split that caused challenges with rounding of shares.

As an organization, we have evaluated various Equity management and accounting software before shortlisting and testing these software and finally selecting 1 software. It has a user-friendly interface that helps and encourages employee participation. Moreover, it has simple and easy-to-understand grants and reporting, which are illustrated by easy-to-understand examples.

In my honest opinion, they perform almost equally, but in general, I would dare to say that Exentia is easier to use. Price wise, the
difference is not so great and it can take some internal opinions to
decide which one could be best suited for your company.In this scenario, I always suggest having at least half of the future users share opinions.
