I use multiple compensation databases and programs when I perform a compensation analysis for my company - PayScale Payfactors is one of the tools in my arsenal and I absolutely love working with it to produce my analyses. There are many incredible features provided by Payfactors that I have yet to fully utilize (it is just THAT robust!), but one that I use the most often is the Quick Price area of the program. I have access to both the Employee Reported Data and the Human Resources Market Analysis data and both databases are wonderfully rich with matches and picks when I am shopping for market matches to blend for my purposes. I use Payfactors to look at the compensation for a role from multiple angles and ensure that our compensation scheme has optimal external equity as compared to what is happening in the market. Being able to get clear Summaries from the ERD and HRMA allows me to gauge where our internal equity is and make any appropriate adjustments with our current compensation models.
  • Real-time market data for the most up-to-date pay bands and ranges
  • Robust internal organizational tools to manage multiple projects and collections of roles
  • Quick Price tool can get a comprehensive compensation pick for a role within seconds.
  • Internal help documents, message board communities, and live help agents are there if you need them
  • I am not seeing an easy way to produce or export compensation summaries for multiple roles at once. I have to pull up multiple at once.
  • The ERD and HRMA reports are in totally different formats and they don't have the same parameters to fine-tune matches.
  • To be honest, I look forward to exploring more built-in features in 2024. It is a great program!
With their multiple compensation databases and the ability to quickly navigate and explore market matches, I can trust that the data is accurate and up-to-date and that I can confidently stand behind my recommendations after doing my in-the-box Payfactors work. PayScale is a company that continues to grow and develop by leaps and bounds , so getting onboard with them now is still essentially the ground floor of something incredible.
  • Increased capacity to provide accurate and robust compensation analyses
  • Ability to compare and contrast compensation schema between Payfactors and other databases.
  • Access to an enormous database of help documents and lux pdfs regarding pay philosophies, compensation concepts, market developments, etc. Educational resources are phenomenal.
I continue to use both CompAnalyst and Payfactors simultaneously and they both have many pros and few cons. PayScale seems to have more advanced capabilities and has more robust user-provided tweaking and cutting-edge features. The access to multiple databases is also a major benefit. While the look and feel of Payfactors seems more "21st century" than CompAnalyst, I have to say that CompAnalyst has some very intuitive features, like the ability to select many matches, add them to a list, and then export the lot of them in a single Excel file, that I do enjoy and that I don't believe Payfactors can match. That would be one drawback, however this doesn't really affect the end results, which are incredible, it just changes the path to get there a little bit.
