Joopy vs. Sales Performance Management solutions from SAP SuccessFactors

SAP Sales Performance Management from Success Factors works great if the incentive calculation is simple. However, if it contains a lot of constraints and filters or is dynamic, it is not friendly to changes or complexity in terms of configuration and time to calculate the incentives. The advantages of using SAP Sales Performance Management are that the process is controlled, the data is in the cloud, and the roles and permissions make it more secure.

I would use this product if it were needed due to very complex plans/organization

Seven out of 10 due to it's strong automations which has simplified some our prior complex processes. The ability to structure our workflows and improve consistency has also helped with repeat tasks. The self-service of SAP has given greater visibility to our sales team members so they can track commissions and quotas. There is a steep learning curve and the system is complex leading to a bit of an average score

We looked at Varicent as an option. I liked the easibility of Varicent for rule writing. If you can write formulas in excel, you could write rules in Varicent. We also looked at Xactly, however, that was not a good option at the time because of the volume of transactions that we would be processing.

• The efficiencies gained by moving from reports and spreadsheet alone has earned us a positive ROI.
