Everstage vs. Xactly SimplyComp (discontinued)

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.

It's fine if your comp plans are really simple. It should have no problem multiplying ACV by a rep's BCR and maybe having a SPIFF or two. If you have accelerators, decelerators, complicated hierarchies, constant "exceptions to the rule", and need a platform to be flexible...SimplyComp simply won't be able to help here. Any "solutions" they implement will be short-term bandaids that will have to be addressed again sometime in the future

• User friendly UI - It is easy to navigate the platform and learn the details without any additional help.
• Ability to show the underlying formula that was used to calculate commissions.
• Provide visibility on how far the consultant is from achieving their quarterly quota.
• Automatically publish leader board for the team based on performance that drives the sense of friendly competition to succeed.

• Reporting of financial statements is simple and easy to navigate.
• Plans can be customized to meet multiple different types of bonus/commission schedules.
• Salesforce integration further improves the automation of commission reporting.
• Administrators have the ability to add/remove plans as needed limiting the need to work with a support person everytime a change is made to the commission plan. This has been particularly useful in our company as we are still trying to develop the appropriate commission plan structure so we are frequently making changes to the existing platform. Our administrator has had no issues making changes as needed and can typically get them done quickly.

• Improving the user interface of Everstage could enhance its usability and make it more intuitive for team leaders and users.
• Offering more advanced customization options would provide organizations with greater flexibility to tailor Everstage to their specific needs.
• Integration with Third-Party Tools would be very helpful.
• Developing a mobile app for Everstage would provide users with the convenience of accessing the tool on-the-go.

• The platform is incredibly complex for non-basic commissions plans and setting things up is painful and time consuming.
• Importing functionality is improving, but still subpar, requiring a lot of manual entry for customer plans.
• The time lag to actually calculate commission (after a user clicks the "calculate" button) is long, leaving one sitting and waiting for the software to do its thing.
• For our non-US team members, we wanted insight into USD and local currency commission. SimplyComp doesn't support this.

The reason to give this rating is corely because of multiple level analysis, everstage provide product level analysis which is truly beneficial for any business manager, we can understand which product is doing good in the organization and we can understand which sales executive is selling more which course. The sales executives can understand their next stage of the incentive and monthly target left to do

Everstage provides a modern functional incentive platform that supports accurate sales compensation calculation. With Everstage in place our organization is experienced a huge savings in time and costs, and was able to boot sales team engagement. From automation to compensation visibility, analytics to integration with our back office systems and CRM, Everstage covered all our bases.

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

Our Implementation Consultant was fantastic. She made herself available, scheduled for in advance to accommodate our schedule, and was very helpful on our calls. She happily executed work on our behalf behind the scenes to help move our implementation along. The Customer Support team was mixed, as is expected with Support teams. Nothing horribly bad, but nothing to write home about. SimplyComp is a newest product for Xactly so everyone is still learning it

It was a company decision, Excel was not automated and had high chances of human error and if not updated properly there may be chances of someone losing out on their attainment Ever stage being automated and linked to salesforce there is very less probability of mistake and also transparency in the records

This is the first time I've used a software for commision only. I've usually just used Salesforce to calculate my sales numbers and then do the math myself. This is nice to know the exact number but I don't think a lot better

I don’t have this visibility. But heard from team it good

Sales, Finance, and HR all operate off the same platform without friction. Managing multiple incentive plans across B2B and B2C segments simultaneously demonstrated its scalability firsthand.

• It helps me to track my progress in terms of Commission earned and motivate me to work harder to earn more.
• It's Statement feature helps me to track my previous performance.
• It's user friendly interface helps every individual to get all details very easily.

• Positive impact is our reps are able to view their commissions much more clearly in SFDC. We are also able to calculate 95% of our commissions more rapidly (and have to spot-check the rest).
• Negative impact was the onboarding process and "learning as we go" rather than having a set process document for getting us live.
