User Testimonials
	Clearbooks	Xactly Commission Expense Accounting
Likelihood to Recommend	Clearbooks Larger companies, multi-currency. Clearbooks is in a competitive environment with Xero, SageOne, FreeAgent, Intuit etc., etc. Incentivized Peter Cowley Various Read full review	Xactly Corp CEA is well suited for small and rapidly growing companies where manually calculating commissions expense for ASC606 is not an option due to a lack of internal resources. CEA is less appropriate for larger companies that have the resources and likely a person, or people, who only focus on commissions. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Clearbooks SaaS, so accessible by anyone, anywhere in the world via a browser Clear and straight forward navigation Good choice of management reports Incentivized Peter Cowley Various Read full review	Xactly Corp Amortization waterfalls Locked periods & PPA adjustments Journal entries Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Clearbooks Like any SaaS product, Clearbooks is continuously evolving and being improved Some of the reports still need some work Incentivized Peter Cowley Various Read full review	Xactly Corp Dashboard is on a different page Needing to rerun reports Not being able to download reports and edit them Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Clearbooks No answers on this topic	Xactly Corp Go into implementation knowing how you will handle churn, if there are claw backs, treatment for every type of commission payment (i.e. new business, renewals, etc.) and know your average customer life. You'll also want details by customer for as far back as you can go (within reason). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Clearbooks Clearbooks was chosen 5 years ago as our accountant recommended it. There is an element of inertia in moving accounts packages. Incentivized Peter Cowley Various Read full review	Xactly Corp We selected Xactly CEA for ASC 606. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Clearbooks I am not sure that ROI is an appropriate measure for an accounts package. The cost is around £250/year, which is a tiny fraction of the cost of a bookkeeper/finance controller/finance director/CFO.
