Overall Satisfaction with Xactly Incent
We use Xactly Incent to calculate and pay out commissions to our sales employees on a monthly basis. We also use Xactly Incent to supply data into CEA which our accounting team uses to manage commission expenses. We supply sales employees with access to the platform so they can view their incentive statements and see their commission details. We also utilize analytics to build reports that our team can use to validate outstanding commission amounts per employee. Xactly Incent allows us to reduce the amount of time that it would previously take to calculate commissions manually. We still perform manual verifications to ensure all calculations are correct, but we are working towards moving away from those files.
Pros
- Gather and implement customer feedback
- Provides timely support
- Maintains a vast knowledge base with tips and tricks for administrators
Cons
- Person based reporting in Analytics
- Versioning of formulas and credit rules
- Uploading external commission plans for employees
- Reduce time to calculate commissions
- Increased visibility to commission amounts for sales employees
- Sandbox environment allows for testing prior to deployment - reduces errors
We are not currently utilizing this in our company.
We are not currently using Xactly Incent for this.
Integrating with these platforms has greatly reduced the amount of manual work that needs to be done to get monthly data into Incent. What used to require hours worth of work and multiple reports to be combined and added to an order upload has been reduced to minutes. Our company runs nightly processes to pull in new data while our sales employees are not in the system. We also have the ability to run these processes on an as needed basis to quickly pull in new data.
Our HR teams use the data within Xactly Incent to help with commission plan rate and quota adjustments based on current and historical data.
I have not used any other sales compensation products.

Kept well informed Quick Initial Response | Less knowledgeable Escalation required Need to explain problems multiple times |
We do not have premium support. I was not on the team at the time the decision to purchase Incent was made so I cannot speak to why we did not purchase it.
Yes - It was resolved, however it took a couple months before the fix was released into the system. I understand the reasons behind the delay, however the workaround that we had to use while the bug was being resolved added time to our monthly processes.
One thing that I like about the product that I only found out recently was that if a process is running in the queue too long without finishing, a support ticket is automatically opened for the team to look into. I found this feature helpful.
