noCRM.io vs. Sales Performance Management solutions from SAP SuccessFactors

noCRM.io is best suited for scenarios where your organization has multiple sales representatives with a large pool of accounts managed by each one of the sales representatives individually. noCRM.io is however not well suited in case you are looking for an automated tool that can nurture all your pipeline without any manual effort.

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

noCRM.io stacks up against Pipedrive because you cannot customize the platform as much as you could with an enterprise level platform and noCRM.io is cheaper than Pipedrive, which is usually a key reason for leaning towards a product. Also the customer support is better for noCRM.io when compared to Pipedrive.

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.
