Since we implemented Everstage into our organization the feedback from end users has been really positive. It has already proved to be a super efficient way to understanding compensation and it also helps the management in paying out the employees as well.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm an individual user of Everstage and did not get to work with or evaluate any similar tools to Everstage except using Google sheets to track my numbers.
I have not personally used another tool like Everstage. This is the second company I have been a part of that I have been able to track my variable compensation with Everstage and as a user it does what I would hope it does. I would not choose to move off of it.
In my opinion, the in-app/slack commission queries feature is more advanced than other products which makes Everstage outstanding. Next is the partnership that they provide and the willingness to adopt their solution to the product we use. In my experience, provides convenient …

I have never used other platform regarding the same since I was new to this platform as a sales rep. and like the way Everstage works. I am not sure about the other platform.
Varicent is the leader in the ICM space because it is scalable and is always making improvements / enhancements based on customer input. However in my opinion based on my own experience, all ICM providers operate similarly in that they over-promise to get a customer's business …
Varicent was selected 1) because we had an incompetent independent contractor managing the process; 2) Varicent misrepresented both scale & cost as well as support.
Budget-wise, reporting, and System availability-wise. Varicent hands down provides a better environment for compensation deliverables and management reporting which includes all of the financial needs we require. The following components were able to determine our pick. …
Varicent is an all-in-one platform that provides database access, UI, and ability to create calculations, reports, etc. from data. I like this better than traditional databases as it takes what would've been additional coding and makes it an easy process to go through with just …
Varicent outperforms other Incentive Compensation Management I have used in the past. Its user interface is far more user friendly, data is more accurate and up to date. The whole look and feel is modern and polished.
We have both PeopleSoft and Varicent. The tools are used for similar process (compensation review ) but on different entities with different (not compatible) requirements.
In 2015, we used a scorecard containing 80 attributes in our review of Oracle, Callidus, and Xactly & Varicent. Oracle did not have true self serve capabilities- programming was heavily required, not intuitive, out of the box functionality was limited. Callidus & Xactly could …
Everstage is well suited for smaller sales teams as it is little rigid with handling changes and maintenance is a task. Managing and computing on everstage is accurate and fast but making changes will require you to take help from the support team. They have an amazing support team to help you out.
For the use cases we have at the bank, ICM is a perfect solution. For any bank or institution that has similar requirements, ICM would be a perfect solution. But I also think for any use case that has any sort of incentives based on Sales done, this would work amazing, as both Calculations and reports are handled by ICM very well; it's an all-in-one solution, I feel like.
Automated rebuild Indexing of tables and calcs, or next best thing, automated reports to list what should have its index rebuilt.
To have the functionality for a conditional entry on the ICM scheduler. E.g. if ICM table has fieldx = 'Y' then we run a specific row in the ICM scheduler else it's skipped.
The ability to download data in csv, Excel … from the "History Viewer" of tables that have changes tracked.
Because as of now how much I have used I am ok with it as it is helping me in daya to day work because it hep us to see the content in right manner with help of good visualization. the dashboards and all are up to the mark which make it more convinient to use .
Varicent is a system you build for your unique needs and business objectives. Once this is in place you can adjust and change accordingly. This system has the flexibility to change in correlation with the needs of your business. From simple viewing adjustments to changing the whole landscape of your operations this system can be modified in whatever direction necessary. Also with the growing popularity of handheld devices this system is at a huge advantage by being accessible from the Ipad
Using Everstage, plans can now be easily rolled out in a matter of minutes and today, everyone from sales ops to the C-Suite has quick access to the intelligence they need to inform better sales forecasting. With Everstage on our desktops and mobile devices, we keep commission pay transparent and accessible.
Any calculations can be implemented as there are hardly any limitations on complexity. However, online real-time usability is lacking - a simple user enters, and the system calculates work in a way that it is in the browser and hence still needs overnight to be properly reflected in the batch calculations and backend tables.
Pages load quickly and dashboards refresh reliably under normal conditions. Reports complete in reasonable timeframes for standard queries. The Salesforce integration runs smoothly without noticeable slowdowns
All is fast, but with API's it is sometimes slower due to the application we are pulling data from. Reports are loaded directly or within seconds and our reports are very detailed with many columns and rows.
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
Giving a 10 would suggest there is no room for improvement. I don't feel like their support is perfect. However, I have never met another team that was more dedicated to making sure we get what we want and need.
our team leader spoke very highly of the training and the positive experience. This then brought the team on board and were looking forward to a positive experience of a product to minimise manual tasks and room for human error ! All the team have nothing but high praise for the product.
Our team leader in US was responsible and involved with this and they spoke very highly of the training and product. This is what really brought the whole team on board. From this response and interaction the team really looked forward to using the product which was a great intro !!!
Test test test. Make sure that the product is calculating everyone 100% correctly. DO NOT accept a 70% pass rate as some companies would like to have you believe is acceptable. This means conducting thorough testing by providing 100% of all expected results, but it will be worth it when you know that the compensation plans are working entirely as expected.
Everstage has kept its promise of providing timely, accurate incentive calculations while outperforming against previous solutions. It takes overly complex process with lots of data and inputs, and streamlines it and makes the process much more efficient. It was chosen also due to its high level of integration with our existing CRM platform, as well the robust nature of the software itself.
In 2015, we used a scorecard containing 80 attributes in our review of Oracle, Callidus, and Xactly & Varicent. Oracle did not have true self serve capabilities- programming was heavily required, not intuitive, out of the box functionality was limited. Callidus & Xactly could not provide us a demo using our data, statements could not be sent out in bulk form, difficulty in importing/exporting to CRM. Varicent excelled in most areas and was the clear winner.
It is very scalable and adaptable to changing complexities of calculations and business rules under a variety of different scenarios. It does not get full points because in large data loads the time needed to calculate and import the data increases exponentially and may cause issues related to timing potentially.
Build transparency amongst consultants and management in terms of commission calculations. Earlier when this was done using manual Excel sheets, many a times sharing the underlying details with the consultants was missed and they had to follow-up with the Revops team or the management.
Faster reconciliation - With Manual sheets, reconciliation was done at the end of the quarter. With this tool, we are pushed to ensure that the data that is fed into the system is reviewed and approved every month, thereby ensuring a faster quarter end closure from commissions stand point.
Generating leader board for friendly competition and President's club. Earlier, we struggled to keep this updated, but Everstage ensures that this is accessible and udpated every month based on the consultant performance.
Compliance - with a central system used for calculation incentive payments and commissions, we are able to provide reports and data showing every detail of how payments are calculated and why they are justified. We can also identify anomalies and outliers.
Integration with our payroll system is seamless. Except for regular pay, nothing goes to payroll without going through ICM. The process for paying incentives/bonuses/commissions is now very structured and efficient.
