Mercer WIN | ePrism vs. Pave

This software is ideal for managing large amounts of external, salary survey data - as well as if you want to combine it into reports, presentations with internal compensation data. The reporting capabilities are superior to any other reporting tool I've used from a compensation perspective. I really enjoy using this software.

Pave seems to work really well in the technology/software industry. Not sure about others, but seems limited, depending on what roles/jobs you are looking at. Data can be pretty limited, especially when you get more granular and look at levels versus prefixes (junior, senior, etc.). Highly recommended as one of at least a few data sources for compensation, depending on industry

We have used or currently still use the others I listed. Others not found in TrustRadius include Ravio, Salary.com, and Figures.hr.

It is best practice in HR to use more than one source for compensation data and aggregate them together, which is what I do with Pave alongside other systems. I do consider Pave to be a better option compared to others, but I think the more compensation data you can get your hands on, the better.
