Decent Partner in the ICM Space
We use Varicent as our Incentive Compensation Management system company-wide to support our worldwide sales organization representing employees in 37 countries. We have around a dozen different comp plans made up of anywhere from 2 to 6 components (aka measurements) for each plan. We pay monthly, but these plans include monthly, quarterly, and annual bonus components.
- Calculate commissions
- Robust reporting
- Great user portal for plan participants
- Better direct access to support (i.e. phone contact vs. logging a support ticket)
- More consistent table structure
- Make changes to table entries easier (i.e. vs. having to upload small changes)

- Dashboards creation

Flexible but use it for what it is designed to do!
We use it for executive and wholesale business compensation, which is largely discretionary compensation. It does not have any sales component, which makes us an "odd duck" amongst other Varicent customers. Also, because of the visibility of the application, we have a lot more requirements for usability and real-time calculations.
- Easy to configure inbound interfaces.
- Runs a number of complex multi-step calculations.
- Easy to configure any plan.
- Online performance.
- Real-time calculations where user enters and system calculates.
- Real-time workflow, i.e., manager releases statement, employee can see statement right away and not the next day only.

Successful 10 year partnership with Varicent
We use Varicent to calculate all sales compensation at Quest Diagnostics, as well as to calculate the key Sales Performance metrics that drive the business and that serve as the basis of the compensation plans. Our Sales leaders rely on reporting in Varicent to help them manage their teams, identify high performing reps, and reps that are underperforming.
- Varicent has the flexibility to perform any calculations needed for compensation or reporting.
- Varicent has a user friendly web interface for sales reps and leaders.
- Varicent provides many options for importing and exporting data in a variety of formats and from disparate source systems.
- The Document management and acknowledgement module has been challenging to use but has been redesigned for 2024.
- It would be useful to have more features targeting plan modeling, forecasting and what-if scenarios

Overall Varicent Satisfaction
Currently implementing Varicent and will be using it once we go live within our compensation process which makes sure all advisor payments are made correctly and on time. The current process is using many sources for compensation but with Varicent we will be using a sole source and manage all payments.
- Very user friendly
- Timely process
- Technology support is exceptional
- Ownership on component builds
- Better understanding of customer needs
- More integrated testing process

Good Value Incentive Compensation System, Highly Customizable!
I use Varicent on a daily basis to support a network of more than 3000 staffing recruiters. We use Varicent as our primary incentive compensation system, so it houses all our sales data and creates calculations and reports like bonus statements for each payee.
- I like how clear the table structure can be on the backend.
- I like how customizable the reports can be.
- We have had issues with users making changes while a calculation is running, which results in an error of some sort.
- Varicent has also introduced product updates without warning that negatively impact our system and we did not have time to prepare for that impact.

Varicent Review: Analyst
We use the tool to manage variable compensation and commissions for staff. It calculates and generates files for payroll, as well as reporting to support payroll. Detailed commission data is available for our users through these reports. We also use workflows to support annual processes related to agreements between our staff and the organization.
- It is very flexible when accommodating different calculations and business rules
- The new reporting is sleeker to use and more user friendly
- Admins of the system have an easy time navigating the tool even with minimal technology experience
- SQL is accessed in the settings menu with a few clicks. It would be nice if it were easier to navigate to it
- Portal access can get messy easily. Improving how to set it up would be beneficial

Varicent Does the Job, and Does it Well
I use Varicent in order to be able to help to properly pay out different bonuses to employees.
- Complete scheduler events
- Allow testing in other environments
- Send and receive files
- Logging and not having a centralized area to view all logs
- Nested items on the UI - have a hard time finding them
- Inability to add code directly
January 13, 2024
Lots of features but a fairly large learning curve
Varicent consolidates our sales compensation and MBO management into a single tool rather than multiple spreadsheets. This reduces the frequency of human error significantly and reduces time that would otherwise be spent piecing different data sources together manually
- It is very flexible
- It allows for interactive feedback from end users
- The UI for admins is poor
- Better detail of what happens when joining data sources to understand why end results are what they are

Magnificent Varicent! Best sales compensation performance insight tool I have used in my career
Varicent Incentive Compensation Management provides a very comprehensive dashboard and insight experience into sales performance
- amazing sales performance insight
- comprehensive dashboard visualization
- detailed transaction history
- more detailed report / export capabilities would be nice
Varicnet Incentive Compensation Management is being used to calculate bonuses for the sales generating consultants who are working in the sales offices. There are a number of schemes and complexities; ICM handles this perfectly.
- Approval process all integrated.
- Calculation time is very fast.
- Number of users is limitless.
- Presenter reports could be easier to write.
- Approval process should have the amount approved in the approval history.
- Importing adjustments via upload - should be direct to tables and not scheduler.

Great experience!
We use Varicent to compute periodic payout due to our vendors who are engaged with our organization in a referral capacity. These vendors receive a percentage of the revenue generated on referral business. Payout computation involves complex calculations as vendors receive a commission on each transaction (brokerage). Before Varicent, it was a time taking and tedious process even though the number of payees was comparatively very less at that time.
- A solid system which is free of bugs and the flexibility it provides to make changes
- Great support (multiple channels of support, i.e. Relationship Manager, Customer and Tech Support, Expert Session)
- Education and Training Program
- There is not much to dislike, but if I have to - there is more that they can do with training and education programs
- Making it more user-friendly. Tools are complex to use and there is a learning curve to it - they have kept on improving upon this. So, I would say keep up the good work!

Sales Performance Management -- Varicent
Varicent Incentive Compensation Management is used by the commissions team in my organization. We calculate incentives of the sales rep through this tool. It is quick, easy to maintain, calculates plan/incentive correctly, change in plans for coming years can be implemented easily. Kind of robust tool. Charts/graphs have made the dashboard more user-friendly and easy to understand.
- Automation of processes are smooth.
- Linking with external tools is easy.
- Making of calculations, presenter reports requires very less training.
- As [the] model gets more and more transactional data, the calculation time increases. This should/can be handled internally with better model optimization.
- Migrating from one env to other sometimes is challenging. There can be better 'Alerts' or 'Explanation' provided to handle it or at least to give a hint of the error.
- For managers viewing their rep's report, the access part can be made easier. It should be linked to Payee hierarchy and access can be done automatically.

Varicent ICM works for us. Recommended!
ICM currently implemented for UK sales force and sales support. The product replaced an internally developed 'black box' solution that was slow and restricting commission plan development due to its inflexibility. ICM overcomes these factors and allows accurate allocation of orders across the organisation structure, feeding sales data into the CRM, and providing real time dashboards with appropriate drill to detail for Sales to track, check and interrogate their performance. Other reporting outbounds provide FP&A team with information relevant to their analysis needs.
- Flexibility
- Data Volumes
- Varicent Support
- Product Development
- Running a block of calculations - instead of only individual or whole model
- Independent identification of fragmentation, etc. issues with calcs/tables

Varicent Incentive Compensation Management is used to calculate commissions to different populations: internal network but also external companies that bring business. The idea is to use ICM as the single source of truth regarding how commissions are calculated. It also allows [managing] the entire lifecycle of the commissions, from the receiving of financial movements to the calculation, the payment in [the] accounting system, and the edition of statements.
- Calculate commissions
- Keep track of the history of the calculation for legal purpose
- Restitution of the data for front end users
- Flexibility of the tool that allows us to do pretty much everything we can
- Frequent new release of the tool that brings enhancements, new features
- Complete admin functionalities
- Reports are still quite rigid
- Reports are not very user friendly
- Some features in the admin are not well optimized (browsing [through] components, searching for dependencies)

[Varicent Incentive Compensation Management is] currently used within Business Market domain, where we support both Sales (internal) and Partners (external) compensations. Our IT landscape is highly complex and has many moving pieces in order to reduce legacy systems and we want to reduce our IT spent and enable business to be able to manage systems themselves in order to be more efficient and effective. From a business perspective we wanted to increase the adoption rate within Sales of the compensation plans by using functionalities in reporting and forecasting. By using Varicent we have been paying correct and on time for three years in a row.
- Flexibility - Varicent is not template based. You can implement the model specifically for your organisation.
- Scalability - Since it is not stick to templates you are able to expand the model for other domains as well.
- Reporting - Several ways of reporting are possible and each has their own benefit/purpose.
- Strong/Powerfull Calculation Engine delivering fast results/speed to insight
- User Interface is minimized to what you need and is not showing off all the functions it can "also" do
- Strong audittrail
- Appears to be almost unlimited in what you are able to create
- Workflow Management works fine, but it is not on same "level" with rest of product.
- Inquiry Mangement works fine, but it is not on same "level" with rest of product.
We pay our advisors using this tool. It helps us run a successful compensation payroll cycle.
- Locking data of previous comp runs
- Scheduler jobs
- Auditing
- Workflow processing
- Good user interface
- Hard to build complex queries with locked functions.
- Hard to integrate with other solutions because of lack of API interface.
- Hard to design data base model since its not a relational database.

Flexible plan design with support from the experts
Varicent is being used to calculate and pay variable compensation within the consumer business line.
- Customer service cares about the customer's needs.
- The ability to design flexible plans and calculations that allow plan changes through user-provided configuration data.
- The ability to consistently communicate with user base about current and future development.
- The fast pace of development does not always allow for an appropriate amount of regression testing.
