Xactly Incent does a great job when it comes to calculating commissions and the attainment of goals. Xactly [Incent] is by far the most comprehensive based on my years of experience deploying and using the product. It is so much easier to use than others we have deployed. Xactly [Incent] is great for larger companies or companies that have complex sales plans that require customization for your company's specific needs. It may not be well suited for smaller companies that don't have sales plan complexities or that can be handled by Excel spreadsheets or a simpler software.
