Xactly Incent - no more Excel
Incent is used by our sales organization for sales compensation calculations along with performance metrics. Additionally, we are using Analytics for reporting and accounting accruals. Xactly Incent addresses the automation of commission calculations, along with the ease of accessibility for performance for the sales reps. It also helps managers understand where their sales reps are individually and as a team. We accomplish error free calculations and transparency to
end users.
end users.
- Document management is used in our organization to allow sales reps to review and accept their plan documents. It easy to use and key to our organization
- Details and transparency for sales reps - Sales reps love to see where they are against goal, how much they are being paid and where they rank among the troops
- Accurate calculations - Usually never a question
- Easy to understand
- easy to manage mid-year and effective date changes
- Analytical is not the easiest to use and is not very intuitive. There needs to be an easier way to get at some standard reporting metrics that are needed in every organization like pay and Performance and easily configure stack rankings.
- The ability to forecast commission expense does not really exist or needs to be done in sandbox or live environment
- Modeling is cumbersome
- Customer Support

Xactly Incent Review
Our company has been using Xactly Incent for about two years now. We use Xactly Incent to pay variable compensation for our Sales department. It streamlines the monthly variable compensation process. Incent also makes creating compensation plans easy and intuitive. It also allows the Sales department to easily track there sales quotas and compensation. It gets rid of a lot of confusion and questions. It helps our Sales reps understand their variable comp.
- Incent imports monthly sales data and calculates payments quickly and efficiently.
- Incent provides an audit trail of payments to sales dollars for future needs.
- Incent provides excellent reporting for managers and executives to ensure your compensation plan is running at an optimal level.
- There are a lot of steps and setting those up can be quite cumbersome. If one step breaks the downstream effect is quite large.
- Using the tool is not quite as intuitive as one would hope. There is a lot of back and forth. I would have hoped the steps would be more linear from left to right.

“Xactly Incent - Great Tool for Commissions”
I am working on Incent for five years now. Incent is a great tool for commission calculation. The system provides complete functionality - from credits to commissions to draws, and then running reports/analytics. It offers a lot of functions and customizations required to design complicated commission plans and calculate commissions. Plus the new changes that the team brings are really good and make the product more usable & friendly.
- Xactly is a great tool to work with along with the customization it offers in terms of designing the plans.
- It offers lot of details to the sales reps in terms of their respective credits for each deal under each month i.e. there is lot of transparency.
- Prior Period Adjustment (PPA) is a great addition to the system.
- Xactly Analytics is a great reporting tool.
- At the start of the year, the system requires a kind of fresh set up, which takes quite amount of time.
- While I am writing Rules, I need to create a new Order Type or Credit Type, I cannot create it from the Rules page. Instead I have to go to the specific page to create these Order or Credit Type and then return to the Rules page to write the Rule.
- More customization on the Incentive Statements will be a great addition.

Xactly Incent-Allergan
Xactly Incent allows us to calculate commissions in a timely and accurate fashion. The question that comes my way are all related to when commission payments will be "released" for payment, not whether there is an error in the calculations. Great product.
- Commission calculations
- Comp Plan Management
- Quota setting
- Some changes in Xactly are inflexible. User ID and Emp ID # are two examples.
- Customer support tends to reply by email only. Sometimes 5 min phone call can alleviate the problem.
- Down loading QTD or YTD data should be an option.

Brilliance for the Sales Rep!
Xactly Incent is my company's single source for all sales commission and renewal information. It acts as my single source of truth when I want to analyze my commissions for the active month, sales club attainment percentage, renewal attainment percentage, and overall number for the FY. I love it because it's easy to navigate, it is thorough in what I'm getting paid on, and provides a way of seeing historic data.
- Review detailed commissions statements.
- Understand percentage to goal (sales quota, renewals).
- I don't really like the "triggers" on the commission statements. Not sure if it's an Incent thing or company thing, but commissions are already so confusing; let's make it easier to understand it.

Xactly Incent one of the leading products in this space
We started to use Incent in 2012 and replaced older system to meet business needs. It is used by Sales Operations department, Human Resources and Finance for Sales Compensation purposes and performance. It really eliminates all manual work that would be done by the old style. It addresses the in real time results as it provides information up to date. It is flexible on changes minor and major changes in your comp calculations. Great tool overall.
- Visibilty
- Dig in dip details info
- Calculations
- Analytics part
- Some information you want to see all together in one customized report like Credits, Quotas, Attainment, Commissions, and Bonuses.

Xactly Incent provides great automation and insight into sales incentive processes and reviews
We went from Excel spreadsheets to Xactly Incent and have shown an increase in error-free payouts. Incent has also cut our quarterly processing time in half. We are now able to report to the sales team monthly instead of only quarterly as we did with Excel. Executives are able to see custom built dashboards monthly of what the expected payouts will be by team. Although we began using Incent for our North America sales team, we have now been rolling it out to teams in other countries.
- Xactly Incent calculation plan changes are easy to manage if set up correctly. It only takes me a few minutes to make minor changes from quarter to quarter. By using rate tables and quotas it makes formula creation and adjustments a breeze.
- Plan document routing by person makes it easy for me to assign a plan document to a new sales representative or to a current representative if they change teams.
- Having customer incentive statements for each division makes it easy for me to adjust just that one team without affecting other teams
- Beginning of year quota creation would be a great improvement if they could figure out how to make this easy. Being able to copy quotas that are used for products, weightings, sliding scales, etc from one year to the next would save me hours of work at the beginning of each year. Although it only takes a minute to create each one I have over 200 unique quota names I must create before uploading my actual quotas.
Xactly Incent is being used across our organization by multiple departments within multiple business units. This includes our sales compensation administrators, sale team members, sales management, and sales operations.
- Xactly provides a high level of transparency between sales compensation administrators, Sales Operations, sales reps, and sales management.
- Managing multiple types of pay plans across multiple business units requires a sales comp solution that is highly flexible and customizable. No matter how unique a commission calculation is or how frequently the calculation is "tweaked", I feel that I have the right solution to make the needed changes on the fly to accommodate our business needs.
- Xactly Incent has given us the right solution to accommodate our business as it has grown through development, acquisitions, and restructuring. Calculation accuracy and reporting through custom reporting allows our sales compensation team to be a valuable partner with our internal management, Sales Operations, and Finance/Accounting teams.
- Due to fast growth and expansion, customer service can range from excellent to less than stellar. Some responses can be very helpful and timely. So, situations seem to drag on longer than they should.
- The Incent analytics module (for advanced reporting) can be a blessing or a curse. It is very nice to have the functionality at my fingertips to manipulate reporting as needed without going back to Xactly for modification requests to saved reports. That being said, sometimes data points don't like to work with other data points and I have to come up with workarounds to get needed results.
- The ability to include and exclude certain bonuses against guarantees/draws would helpful.

Xactly Incent -- too much training needed
We currently use it for our sales team, and it is managed by the finance and sales ops team. I am in the finance team, and since we don't have a compensation analyst, I, as a member of the FP&A team, handle all incentives. It helps automate our sales incentives process and reduces manual errors.
- Reduces manual errors by helping double check.
- It's easy to use for the sales team to see their targets and attainment.
- It helps keep everything centralized on one system.
- It reduces the use of manual spreadsheets.
- It is still very manual, and requires a lot of uploading.
- It can be very finicky.
- It requires a lot of training for the admin.
- It's very limited in transferring data between the different modules.

Choose Xactly
Xactly has great out of the box functionality that covers almost all business needs. The interface is somewhat intuitive and easy to navigate -- after minimal training, admins should be on their way to becoming power users in short time. The structured nature of all objects in Xactly help experienced admins understand any comp environment that uses Xactly very quickly. Sales reps gain good visibility into their sales plans and commissions, while also easily navigating the reports with minimal training.
- Automation: get rid of inefficient manual processes
- Accuracy: reduce shadow accounting
- Reporting: gather insights now easily accessible in your Xactly database
- Flexibility: limited in customizing features for more complex requirements
- Analytics UI is not a great experience

Xactly Incent Review
We are using Xactly Incent within our organization for sales performance management and to manage our variable and incentive compensation plans for our sales and sale support professionals.
- Step by Step by interface when configuring organizational information, you go in order until you are complete.
- Easy to use and understand for sales reps.
- Ease of importing data into Xactly.
- The different user interfaces for creating crediting / bonus rules versus creating commission rules. One UI for creating any type rule would be simpler and easier to use.
- Interconnect the creation of formulas, rate tables, lookup tables, etc... So if I'm creating a rule that needs a formula, give me the ability to be able to create the formula on the fly while I'm creating the rule.
- The lookup table interface is incredibly lacking in functionality. We are currently utilizing 20+ lookup tables, but the UI doesn't even show us all the lookup tables we currently have configured in Xactly, we have to search to find our lookup tables. When we load lookup tables as well, it often loads an incomplete table so we have to do extensive checks to make sure Xactly takes everything.

Positive Xactly feedback!
Xactly is currently being used in the Finance department to calculate commissions as well as in the Sales department for commission statement visibility.
- Commission statements are very straight forward and easy to read for our reps.
- Sales comp plans are routed seamlessly and are stored in an organized manner.
- Minimized commission calculation errors tremendously compared to spreadsheets.
- Make connect user-friendly and easier to use for people who do not know SQL.
- Analytics has too many restrictions and is not very flexible.

Incent Review
Xactly Incent was brought in to replace our existing, multiple spreadsheet process with an automated tool. We use it across various departments throughout the organization. Additionally, we support sales incentives for reps in the US, Canada, EMEA, and parts of Asia. It has really helped to increase rep confidence with their sales compensation calculations.
- Detailed incentive calculations
- End-user visibility for compensation statements
- Automation via Connect Platform
- A bit of a learning curve to master administration
- Cost

Sales visability comes first
Incent is being used by my business verticals within Information from approx 230 users at present. The main reason we mad the decision to move to the platform was for sales visibility of their sales numbers and compensation.
- Visibility of comp calculation not only to the sales reps but also the sales managers.
- Plan docs, we previously used to complete in Word then manually send out PDFs for acceptance, the system has saved so much time and effort on this.
- Plan design is easy to scale, once you build your core compensates it’s very easy to create new scalable plans using this.
- The display needs a facelift (UI) it’s looking a little dated now.
- We used to use PPP, however, this process, due to the way we work, actually stops clarity on commission due until the month is closed, which we found unacceptable
- User set up all the way through the stages does not flow and needs an update to ensure it’s clean and simple to follow.

Best ICM solution ever
Xactly Incent is being used to calculate monthly commissions by the Finance Team for our Sales Team, including the account executives, SDRs, Solution Consulting, CSMs and Sales management. It has automated a very manual process and allowed us to be able to analyze and review results instead of manually calculating commissions. The Sales Team can review their information prior to being paid and advised of any issues, which allows for adjustments prior to being paid.
- Automates commission calculations and decreases the time spent on preparing them on a monthly basis.
- Increases the Sales Team's understanding of their attainment and commissions.
- Allows for more timely management review and approval prior to submission to payroll.
- Being able to search and obtain information over a period of time instead just monthly and by type, i.e. credits/commissions having to be done separately.
- Setting up a new employee on all the different tabs is time-consuming and cumbersome.
- Being able to email the team when their statements are completely ready for review each month.

Compensation System Review - Xactly Incent
Our department began looking for incentive compensation software about 6 years ago. During this time we identified that we were doing all sales compensation payroll manually and knew we need a software program to help us be more efficient. We finalized our decision on utilizing the Xactly Incent product. We are currently using this platform for our main sales force of 400 sales personnel tracking various levels of different compensation plans.
- SOX Compliance Tracking
- Draws and clawbacks
- Analytics
- More drag and drop ease of use throughout the system
- More enhanced eDocs capabilities like creating templates that pull certain data points onto certain places in that said document, like mail merging
- Improved hierarchy UI
Our entire sales team either uses Xactly or is in the process of being setup in the system. We use it to manage our sales credit, attainment & compensation.
- Xactly has the ability to handle multiple complex compensation plans and calculations.
- Sales reps and managers are able to view their revenue, attainment & compensation at any time and get real-time results.
- Inaccuracies are easy to identify and also easy and quick to fix.
- Automate your process with Connect
- There are some issues with the standard template layouts but those can be fixed with custom templates.
- Tthe draw section can get a little confusing trying to identify if it is recoverable or non recoverable draw.
- They are always enhancing and updating the system. Whenever an issue is identified it tends to be immediately addressed.
- If you need to reopen a period you have to reopen all subsequent periods and business groups.
We are using Xactly Incent to process monthly commissions for our 1200 associates across 8 different plans.
- Provides detailed training on all as aspects of the product by knowledge personnel
- Extremely flexible to be able to incorporate any size or plan complexity into their platform
- More flexibility in reporting pods for sales representatives
- Versioning and editing of hierachies and named relationship feel a bit clunky when not doing an upload
- To allow for multiple hierarchies in the system to be able to look at business in operations and a functional view

I love Xactly! It is powerful.
It is used by the Sales and Finance teams. We provide visibility of the current year attainment to the sales, reps and managers and planners, as well as the estimates and calculations for finance.
- Detailed line items of credits and commissions.
- Flexible commission rules.
- Customized summary of incentive payout with different templates for different plan types.
- Too much configuration (a lot of fields to fill out without a template) to create simple rules that work.
- Some configurations are done in UI that requires both mouse and keyboard (but not with either one).
- Visual elements are really hard and time-consuming to configure.
- Being flexible means bigger chance to configure it wrong.

- Would like to have a better way to plan for accruals of future payouts.

Team Lead, Commission and Incentive
Xactly Incent is being used globally for all our Field, SAs, Channel, and Customer Success. The biggest problem this tool had solved is to make our sales people more confident in the data quality and payment results. The next biggest hurdle was manual data calculations, manual distribution of statements, manual plan acknowledgments.
- Reporting that is feeding off the data that once set up just works great without much of human intervention.
- Sending plan documents and other letters that require Participants' acknowledgments in a single place.
- Being able to see how frequently someone uses the tool! If people complain about the payments, chances are they have not bothered to even log in to see the data behind... which are correct 85% of the time!
- Analytics reports need to be refreshed more frequently than every hour.
- Xactly needs a makeover!!! It looks outdated and cleaner interface would be much appreciated it's the same look for the past 4 years since I've used it. If my husband saw me wear the same dress for 4 years, he would tell me I need new clothes :)
- Back/Next navigation buttons. It's too much hassle to keep doing "New Search" when admin could just go to the next/previous screen via these options.
- Certain windows have this 'hover over' action in order to see the options. Just make those options static and visible! What's the secrecy or coolness about the way it is currently working? Actual users get confused also when they don't know they need to hover over to see options. They get frustrated and email us being lost.

It's Xactly What We Need!
Xactly Incent is a core module in our Sales incentive planning and payment system. It supports our 110+ internal sales people, plus our external reps.
- Strengths include cloud-based implementation. We have a global sales force, and this platform serves them well.
- The Incent UI is relatively easy to understand and learn.
- Users appreciate the ability to receive an up to date view of their compensation plan.
- Users have commented on some UI quirkiness. I need to ask more questions about this.
- I would like to see a future roadmap.
