    Everyone is very similar, at the end of the day for us was the local partners who assisted with the implementation

    Salesforce was inaccurate, data was missing most of the time, it also only tracked what had been done so far. It did not track what my goal is nor did it tell me what my commissions would be. Having visibility to knowing where I am at and budgeting my pay is very helpful with …

    My previous company did this on Google Sheets. It was always wrong, hard to read, and difficult to reach out to management if I thought something was incorrect. This is WAY more efficient and makes me feel like my company is prioritizing transparency and dedication to making …

    Captivate offers much more than Salesforce does on a much lighter platform at a significantly lower cost. We also see a possibly higher level of customization and better customer service in our interactions with Captivate IQ compared to Sales Force's arm of staff. Both are …

    Spiff is super sleek and a top contender, honestly, though the price point difference between Captivate and Spiff took Spiff off the table quickly for us. Sales Cookie: we used it for a bit as Captivate didn't have a Hubspot integration, but we quickly outgrew the software and …

    I would say that it pairs perfectly together with Salesforce. I have never used a similar company in the past.

    CIQ is better in every way than Excel! CIQ logic is very similar to formulas in Excel, so it's an easy transition to the tool. Once the logic is built, it is simply a click of a button to process the payouts, saving hours and hours of manual work.

    I don't remember the other platforms that I've used but this one is the best.

    We've completely phased out two of the comp plans from CaptivateIQ to Excel. Excel is a lot more flexible for any changes that occur throughout the year. The one downside is that it does not offer as much automation that CIQ does, since CIQ is synced to salesforce directly.

    Nothing, used to be Excel docs and email. Using this tool is way more efficient.

    Far and away superior to the dynamics tool. The dynamics tool was abandoned and the managers had to spend to much time on commissions.

    CaptivateIQ was much more easy to use by all parties involved including finance, accounting, sales, customer success and marketing. CaptivateIQ was also much less expensive in tracking commissions and other areas of our payouts when compared to Salesforce and other comparable …

    I haven't looked at any others tools that are out on the marketplace. Again I am a strategic account manager so I am being told to use this product and it’s already been set up for me. Maybe you could list your competitors and I could tell you if I have used them before?

    I believe CaptivateIQ to be the easiest and best at providing accurate information.
