CaptivateIQ can handle more complexity. It just wasn't user-friendly to the reps; that's its biggest downfall.

I was not a part of the selection process

Spiff offered a better price, but I still think Xactly incent is a better option, especially for larger organizations
Chose Salesforce Spiff
I like how Salesforce Spiff is easy to use, navigate, and compare your past commissions. I really wish that you could compare to other agents so I would not be opposed to switching to other software. However, I do really like that it is so easy to use, quick to update, and …
Chose Salesforce Spiff
I have added a few of the many Salesforce products we use. We also use HubSpot but they all have different functions so not really comparable as they are used for different things/ teams.
Chose Salesforce Spiff
Better pricing and features. Customer support also seemed better.
Chose Salesforce Spiff
I have only used Salesforce Spiff for commission calculation. Prior to that it was all excel.
Chose Salesforce Spiff
I have only tried the manual way of receiving statements via email with the actual report being attached as an Excel file. This makes it hard to track and raise questions if there are concerns with the statement. Having to submit a query via email is also too clunky and too …
Chose Salesforce Spiff
We actually chose to move away from Spiff for Tableau due to software consolidation.

Chose Salesforce Spiff
The UI is by far better and easier to use that Exactly. Again, the data was there with Exactly but for us as sales reps to truly feel like we have trust in our commissions, it needs to be easy to follow and understand.
Chose Salesforce Spiff
CaptivateIQ failed to show the depth of details I can get with Spiff. Spiff is much easier to navigate and overall is a more effective tool to forecast and visually much more pleasing.
Chose Salesforce Spiff
Prior to spiff, we used apps that were integrated in salesforce. They were often inaccurate.
Chose Salesforce Spiff
We used google sheets before and it was a headache. While it did work, it was a lot of work and prone to human error. I would spend hours reconciling commissions each month and Spiff has made that process a breeze. I am happy we switched from google sheets to Spiff.
Chose Salesforce Spiff
clari is more on the forecast side than actually compensation so I'd say they are pretty different within their scope, previously I used excel file to manage and calculate compensations
Chose Salesforce Spiff
No competition. Spiff usability and UI/UX are awesome compared with MS Excel reports
Chose Salesforce Spiff
Spiff is the best! Our company has used many methods such as ADP and spread sheets but Spiff is the best so far!
Chose Salesforce Spiff
It is a night and day difference between Sheets and Excel. The fact that it is integrated with Salesforce and calculates commission as you close deals make it super transparent and efficient when it comes to tracking your performance and commission. Spiff takes the manual work …

The team at Spiff made it easy to choose their platform, they were extremely diligent and made the process seamless. They had worked with us on pricing and we were extremely satisfied with the end result. The user interface and simplicity was also a driving factor in choosing …

Spiff is a great tool for tracking your commissions - it’s rare in that it’s a valuable tool that I only need to look at once or twice a month. It does exactly the job that it needs to do.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Some formulas and coding are not that intuitive.
  • Sometimes Spiff is too transparent with the information that is shared on the reps' plans from a front-end perspective.
  • There are many workarounds that we code (specifically with statement cards on the front-end) that take more time.

Overall, the use cases of Spiff have been helping us to address important problems when it comes to commission calculation: (1) Accuracy of the commission calculation, (2) Transparency over how the commission is calculated, (3) Automation of commission calculation, which in turn saves us significant amount of time and energy and allow us to focus more on more important tasks

Reliability and Availability

In all my time using Spiff, I only recall it being unoperational (outside the times when there is scheduled maintence. During those times, Spiff does a good job at communicating when their services will be offline and why). The times when I do get a small error, 9 times out a 10 a simple refresh of the browser will fix the issue.

Performance
No answers on this topic
Pages load quickly, dashboards update numerous times throughout the day, and the integrations are seamless and operate without a hitch. On occasion, commissions will be delayed in calculating corrctly by a day or so, but that is quite rare. I don't find that delay to be a huge hinderance anyways.

I needed my account to be set up and there seemed to be some technical issues with onboarding and a customer service rep made herself immediately available to liaison with our IT department to get me up and running. I did not expect them to tend to our request with such urgency.

The training was conducted by our Spiff Account Manager and they would even create recorded videos we could send to the sales team so when they log in, they would understand how to use Spiff. Account managers at Spiff are a huge reason why I like that company.

Scalability

We have a fairly large Enterprise sales team (200+ people and growing). Back when I first started at my organization this number was actually around 100 people. We've doubled in size since then and we have had zero problems adding these additional users.

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • Definitely increased transparency into compensation calculation and rules
  • I don't know if there is a tangible ROI for what we are using now, but I personally like the confidence it gives me to know how much I'm getting paid.
  • Potentially improved productivity because we're not having to calculate our commissions on our own.
