    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 believe Sisense is perfectly suited for any organization of any size that have access to the proper resources, as the tool is very expensive. The data connectors come in all shapes and sizes out of the box, which allows a great deal of data control within the ElastiCubes. Additionally, while the platform only runs on Windows platforms, the web application can be accessed on any client: mobile, Apple, Windows, etc. This allows a much more flexible user experience, resulting in data and dashboards reaching further than any other tool.

    Pros
    SAP
    • Configurable out of the box.
    • Allows for complex compensation rules (Rate tables, MDLTs, etc).
    • Has the ability to build cross-channel (non-hierarchy) relationships. For us, this is very powerful.
    • Can build a large data warehouse of commissionable data.
    • Speed to market can be as fast as minutes.

    Cons
    SAP
    • Using names to reference payees in the compensation platform, instead of their ID
    • Allow an Advisor to see their compensation as well as how their employees compensation without requiring to proxy
    • Expose all variables within the application to the dashboard, to allow them to be used for data insights, without requiring any extra work.

    • The usability of the application on mobile devices needs some improvement, especially navigation and filtering.
    • Dashboards that are created by multiple users can be a bit of a hassle to share by Admins.
    • If you need to embed dashboards into your website, you are require to buy a license separate from the user and platform license. This is a norm on most BI visualization tools, but Sisense can seem a bit on the high side, cost-wide.

    I think the business and myself as a user has come to rely on SiSense as a dashboarding and quick ad-hoc reporting tool. I am hoping to integrate SiSense dashboards into more parts of the business in the future. We have reduced our report turn-around time for the most part from hours/days to minutes and in some cases almost the speed of thought. Reports are also easier on the eye and more easily distributed. I would also like to say that the support and professionalism from the SiSense team has been excellent.

    Usability

    My rate is 9 because there is always a way to improve a system. In this case the usability is high but there are some thing that could be improve like usability of report and the payment detail page and also clud be more and more useful is in lookuptable there are some orders or a research tab

    New V5 is ground floor of an exciting collection of possibilities. Weekly Sisense developers come up with new functionality that they share with us in their forums. The move to HTML5 has been pleasing in that widgets auto size themselves into appropriate forms in the board but everyone of them can be popped out to full page size to be looked at in more detail

    SiSense is usually performing better then other solutions even if going for complex reports/dashboards(of course within reasonable frames). I haven't noticed any bad influence on other systems, usually if something happens it stays within SiSense.

    SiSense's support ninjas are very knowledgeable and are exceptionally responsive. So far, all of the issues we ran into were resolved within minimum time. My sense of dealing with the support staff at SiSense is that they are very focused on not just answering your immediate question, but also to delve into the cause of the matter.

    Faster implementation, more user-friendly interface, and lower reliance on IT made Sales Performance Management solutions from SAP SuccessFactors an easy choice over Xactly. SAP's allowance for complex modeling helped us choose it over Varicent. The faster development and high intuitive nature of Sales Performance Management solutions from SAP SuccessFactors also made it a better platform than previous usage of Performio.
