Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For those on our team who gets commission, Xactly is extremely helpful. It allows us to see what will be paid to us and where we stand after sales are made. As a salesperson this is our primary motivation.

Pros and Cons

It shows us what our quota is & what the percent attained was.
It gives a breakdown of past months and total commission attained.

The commissions aren't updated daily. Our team has to input the data in Xactly and we get the updated amount every week. Would love to get a quicker update when a sale is made.
Not able to see what tier I'm at or how much more I need to sell in order to hit the next tier. There is a section that shows the commissions percentages but not how much we need to sell to hit it. It would be helpful to know those specific numbers.
I'd love to be able to see what my overall numbers have been to quota. I'm not able to see that now in Xactly. It only shows what attainment has been per month.

Return on Investment

Its helpful to know what we're being paid as this is a sales person most important data point. Would be nice to have a more real-time explanation.
Really needs a way to see what more is needed to be sold to hit the next tier.

Alternatives Considered

This is the first time I've used a software for commision only. I've usually just used Salesforce to calculate my sales numbers and then do the math myself. This is nice to know the exact number but I don't think a lot better.

Support Rating

Not sure because if I have issues I just go to our internal point of contact.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's good as it shows the total numbers I have received in commissions, but I'd like to see more numbers. I want to know how much I've sold, what I'm being paid and how much more I need to sell in order to hit the next tier. I can't do that now.

Shows the raw numbers, could show a lot more.
