Very easy to understand. I was hesitant to use another confusing software, but it is not difficult to understand at all. I look forward to monthly emails where I can go in and see where I am for the month regarding performance. It is a great tool for every workplace.

If you are a large company with many account executives/managers that are paid commissions, this is for you. The previous software we used was very complicated, but CaptivateIQ is simple and gives you all the info you need right away. There's no fuss when it comes to approvals or disputes and I think I speak for management when I say its easy for them as well.

Our comp structure is particularly confusing. This is because I get paid a different commission rate on SaaS, prepaid advertising media, and advertising media in arrears. I also get paid in commission, in bonus, and in SPIFFs. Understandably, commission mistakes are not uncommon. CaptivateIQ is an excellent way to track everything: what I should expect to get paid, why, and when. If I see anything that doesn't look right, CaptivateIQ makes it very easy to open an inquiry from right within the application and reference the applicable section in chat form. Although CaptivateIQ is not meant to replace our Salesforce reports, I can easily include links to Salesforce reports in my inquiries.

Sales organizations need a tool like this. Full disclosure: I have zero experience with any other commission tracking system, so I am not a great resource for comparing choices. But this is the choice my company made for me, and it's terrific.

Its perfect for providing the field with what their commissions will be at the end of month/quarter or year. Its simple and very easy to use. I enjoy the emails I get monthly.

Its less appropriate if your looking to do detailed analysis or research or if you want dashboarding.

In terms of setting up special incentive programs, it might be better to have those paid out directly. Sometimes the system needs to be manually updated if for say a special service is sold to a pre-existing company. On our end we have to create "new customers" to reflect these new structures of incentives. It still works on CIQ, but it would be helpful for something on the site to allow us to modify this directly.

So I am in sales and the biggest problem in sales is the reliability of a platform that calculates our VCPs and creates a nice workplace and feedback system where we can see transparency in our numbers and also rely on it for our payroll as the major chunk of our money comes from VCPs. Captivate IQ has been a very effective tool in this space for us. It keeps track of all my data and I refer it always to know where I'm at for the month or quarter.

As a Salesperson, CaptivateIQ has been paramount in keeping me apprised of my monthly compensation and impact on company revenue. The tool is easy to use and easy to navigate before using CaptivateIQ, I would have to track this information manually via excel which was cumbersome. I would recommend this to any and every sales org.

This is way better than having Excel sheets that take a while to complete and having to have constant discussions on what is correct and incorrect. This system allows users to make disputes within the system and can be handled within the system rather than through email. So it is all trackable and reportable.

Captivate IQ is well-suited for sales teams of any size. Its ability to handle multiple, complex plan management allows for any amount of reps or level of complexity to be built in, allowing any organization to benefit from its automation and platform. We've changed our plans massively each year, and it is able to handle these changes with ease. It does seem as though it pairs better with SFDC. We use Hubspot, and this works okay, but our integration sometimes lags or needs a heavier lift to adjust.

CaptivateIQ is a great software for the Mid-Market customers. We currently have >200 employees where commission is being run and calculated. From that 200, there's about 10 Plans that encompass those individuals. One thing that CaptivateIQ does great is that anything that is run through a CRM (in our Case, Salesforce) is that data automatically flows through from there to CIQ with full accuracy. If the Plans are set-up properly, then commission can really be run and calculated with a click of a button each month. On the flip side, there are other trackers (Gainsight for us) requires a Manual import to be able to run data. A nice to have would be to be able to connect those to truly automate all levels of commission.

There was a time when I got my CaptivateIQ summary of my commission, and I clearly saw a discrepancy in my pay. I was able to see exactly where the pay was wrong and brought that information and detail to the person in charge of our checks and he fixed it right away.

It is very well suited to users who are well versed in PowerBI or Excel and are comfortable using Array formulas. It is quite agile to set up a comprehensive commissions system. It is not suitable for users who are not comfortable with spreadsheets/ formulas, or without the ability to maintain or reconfigure systems of this nature. A good understanding of database structures would also be a big help.
