    QuotaPath
    Well suited for getting your sales team visibility on their efforts, it’s great for showing how and why commissions payout as they do with each deal. Adjustments can also be made very quickly on the backend if needed. It’s straightforward and quick to set up and doesn’t require much training, which is very good for smaller-end businesses and sales forces. It doesn’t work well with more nuanced deals that may age multiple pay points or for larger sales forces, and some custom CRMs will have trouble or be incompatible.

    It is well suited for planning, budgeting, and forecasting. Using its capabilities also allows you to use it for reporting, whether it's month-end reporting or other reporting where you want to rely on data from a source that can be nicely presented and adjusted in Excel.

    Pros
    QuotaPath
    • We don’t have to calculate commissions in Excel anymore! It takes a fraction of the time it used to calculate commissions. Saves about 1-2 days on month end close. I like that it is easy for me and reps to drill down and see the calculations of their payouts. Reps can see calcs all month long instead of having to wait until the end of the month, so acts as a motivator. Sales managers can manage their direct reports better.
    • When I first started using QP, I was not thrilled with the quota attainment reporting for dollars, percent, and team management. I’m glad that they added leaderboards and are working on better reporting. I like the UX and UI of the whole software.
    • I like being able to export the following easily to Excel – resolved payouts for all payouts, payouts by rep, and Ledger (ASC 606) info.
    • Admins can request that reps acknowledge their plans through QP, which helps with compliance and ensures we are in agreement with calculations. I like that they are adding a docusign feature.
    • You can easily adjust earnings if a correction is needed, even after the month is closed. Just make sure you reverse from the end of the process (i.e. undo in ledger, undo the resolved payout, delete the unresolved payout, un-approve the deal).

    • The Admin function of Vena, being able to set up the users in the user categories and the different groups and assigning the groups and the task bindings, is particularly easy and very helpful because as we have so many different departments and disciplines in our organization, we do need to establish pretty specific user access so this process works really well for us.
    • Running reports in Vena is fairly easy, and we do enjoy being able to just push a button and get some budget versus actuals.

    Cons
    QuotaPath
    • More workspace roles with the ability to customize what each user is able to do. Currently, there's only member and team manager. The team manager currently has too much power and we want to remove some of the things they're able to do like approve deals.
    • When you sync a deal from the CRM, you can override the earnings but you cannot override the field value you're syncing over. It would be great if that was possible.
    • When you want to exclude a deal, you have to go in the filters and add a rule to exclude the ID. It would be better if there's an option to reject deals in certain paths as an approver.

    • Create an bottom-line functionality.
    • Have another license between power user and contributor that allows building reports that aren't ad hoc, but don't have all the admin rights of a power user.
    • Have a session on best in class Workforce Planning prior to implementation.

    Vena has become an integral part of finance and our daily process. Without it we would take longer to prepare results and decisions will be delayed. Vena has given the whole organization more visibility of results and budgets so that all departments participate more actively in managing their budgets rather than it being the sole responsibility of finance.

    Vena is somehow easy to manipulate. If you want to map accounts, or change mapping. there are clear instructions and guidance. and also Vena AI is on the way, so i think we can leverage it more and let AI help us mapping and check errors. overall a very good product and easy to learn and set up.

    Vena is seemingly always available. They plan maintenance windows well in advance and always off hours (typically over a weekend) and communicate clearly throughout maintenance about what will be affected. Over 5 years of using the product, I can only remember one time when the platform was unavailable (I believe due to an underlying server hosting issue from their provider), and they resolved the issue and had everything up and running again within 8 hours.

    Performance
    QuotaPath
    No answers on this topic

    The performance is dependent on how much data and calculations are involved and how complex the security settings are. A simple template or report loads in seconds. A complex template or report can take a while. If there are many users with complex security settings, that will be a factor in the load time.

    I ran into some issues with setting up an MRR earning path. Their customer service team was readily available to assist, provide guidance and get their hands on our setup, which made getting this up and running much easier. Also (shame on me), I missed a couple of calls with my CSM, Daniel, but he never got frustrated with my absence. In fact, he was always able to reschedule and was flexible with my schedule — when we were able to connect, he was a major, major help.

    This is the best way to learn and buy-in. The in person effect gives students both a hands on approach but an instruction to be there to customize assistance and understanding. In person also builds greater buy in with your future team on creators. However if your audience is better at on line learning this is another good option.

    The training was structured as a group training to learn the basics of creating a data model and mapping a template. While we had nearly 10 participants, I was the only actual implementer so we probably didn't actually need the training and could have just learned the initial skills from the implementation consultant. Two years later, when we hired a new team member, they completed several modules in Vena Academy (a self paced learning course) which allowed them to get up to speed on the basics with just a bit of supplemental guidance from me as our existing admin.

    The Vena consultant had great knowledge of both the Vena solution and Excel and Excel functions. He was able to help suggest ways to build our templates that met our requirements using Excel functions we had not previously considered using. And we have been able to use the Excel information he provided in other ways outside of Vena. He was very patient and flexible as we learned the Vena tool and created templates

    Xactly Incent was very difficult to configure. And UI wasn't very friendly. Spiff and CaptivateIQ had a good UI but the learning and coding required was going to be too much for the short window of time before implementation was due. QuotaPath was able to build our comp plans in less than a month so we could focus on the necessary configuration of data in Salesforce.

    Previously used Synario for long-term forecasting. Ultimately moved to Vena for this to keep budgeting and forecasting together in a single solution. Vena's system is much easier to learn on the admin side since it is Excel-based so the transition was pretty simple. Previously used Jenzabar with JICS for budgeting. Vena's budget system is more user-friendly for end users and more flexible so it works better for our specific needs. Vena's reporting system is easier to use and customize.

    • Reduce commission calculations from a full day to minutes
    • Provides both managers and reps with insight into their earnings
    • Highly flexible plan structuring that allowed us to pay based on our objectives
    • While saving money on the elimination of manual commission processing (+/12c days per year) I believe the real payback has been the way it has helped us to better incentivize and motivate our reps

    • Vena has helped save time by reducing the manual work involved with budgeting, reporting, and variance analysis. Instead of spending as much time organizing data and reconciling spreadsheets, I can focus more on reviewing results and making informed decisions. It has improved collaboration between teams and provided better visibility into financial performance, creating more efficient processes overall.
